If any such part is not as warranted and if the Buyer notifies Zephyr of such defects in writing within one year of delivery, Zephyr will repair or replace, at its option, such defective part, provided that full information is furnished to Zephyr of the nature of the defect. Labor in removing and replacing parts at the installation site under this warranty, and return of defective parts to Zephyr's factory, shall be paid for by Buyer.
This warranty by Zephyr does not cover any part of the system manufactured by third persons whether or not such third persons are subcontractors to Zephyr for this system. If after inspection of the returned products, Zephyr determines that the defect is a result of misuse, mishandling, installation, abnormal conditions of operation, unauthorized repair or modification, or due to the Buyer's failure to install, maintain or operate the product in compliance with written instructions, all expenses incurred by Zephyr in connection with the replacement or repair of the product shall be for the account of the Buyer. Any product returned to Zephyr for replacement shall become the property of Zephyr.
REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE Zephyr PRODUCTS AS PROVIDED UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS THE BUYER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. In no event shall Zephyr's entire liability exceed the amount paid by the Buyer to Zephyr for its purchase of the defective product.
