Upon a Force Majeure Event, Elinso shall send written notice to buyer setting forth a brief description of the Force Majeure Event and an estimate, to the extent reasonably ascertainable, of the anticipated duration thereof. The foregoing notice requirement shall be satisfied by written notice given at such time as it shall become clearly apparent in the reasonable judgment of Elinso that performance has been materially diminished by such Force Majeure Event. If Elinso determines that its ability to supply the total demand for the product, or obtain any or a sufficient quantity of any material used directly or indirectly in the manufacture of the product, is hindered, limited or made impracticable due to a Force Majeure Event, Elinso may allocate its available supply of the product or such material (without obligation to acquire other supplies of any such products or material) among itself and its purchasers, including purchasers that are not currently under contract, on such basis as Elinso determines to be equitable without liability for any failure of performance which may result therefrom. Deliveries suspended or not made by reason of this section shall be cancelled without liability, but these terms and conditions shall otherwise remain unaffected.
Elinso warrants that its products will be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of twelve (12) months.. This warranty does not extend to any losses or damages due to misuse, contamination, accident, neglect, normal wear and tear, negligence, unauthorized modification or alteration, improper installation or maintenance, misapplication, improper specification or operational conditions beyond Elinso’s knowledge or control. Any product that does not comply with the foregoing warranty is hereinafter referred to as a “Nonconforming Product.” Should any product fail during the Warranty Period, the root cause of which is noncompliance with the warranty requirements set forth in this paragraph, then Elinso shall, at its option and as buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any warranty claim hereunder, either repair, provide a free replacement, or refund or grant a credit to buyer for the price for such Nonconforming Product. Buyer shall notify Elinso during the Warranty Period of the alleged failure of a product through Elinso’s Returned Merchandise Authorization (“RMA”) process within thirty (30) days after such failure. Advanced authorization for any repair or replacement undertaken by Buyer must be obtained in writing from Elinso. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Elinso’s warranty with respect to implant refurbishment services performed by Elinso and the resulting refurbished disks (collectively, “Refurbished Disks and Services”) shall not become effective until such time as Elinso has received payment in full for the Refurbished Disks and Services that are subject to any warranty claim hereunder and the duration of such warranty shall be twelve (12) months to the extent such claim relates to mechanical performance and six (6) months to the extent such claim relates to elastomer, particle performance and si coating.
