LIMITED WARRANTY: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES CONCERNING
DIESELWORX WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS AND VESSEL OWNER OR CUSTOMER’S RIGHTS. This Limited Warranty supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, and all other communications between the parties relating to services and/or repairs rendered by DIESELWORX including, but not limited to, replacement of parts, repair of parts, return or crediting of purchase price, referral of the claim to the original manufacturer for manufacturer’s warranty review, DIESELWORX marketing materials or any sales representations that may have been made at any time by DIESELWORX, its agents or employees. No employee, agent, or broker of DIESELWORX is authorized to make any warranties or representations in addition to those made herein and any such representations or warranties are hereby deemed null and void. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR REMEDIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION WITHIN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. DIESELWORX makes no warranty and specifically disclaims all liability for design of any items supplied. DIESELWORX shall not be liable for any personal injury or death resulting from its provision of repairs, parts or services. The vessel owner, purchaser and/or customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold DIESELWORX harmless for any such claims brought against DIESELWORX by or on behalf of any person other than a DIESELWORX employee.
The vessel owner and/or customer’s Limited Warranty and sole recourse is, at DIESELWORX discretion, limited to the replacement of parts, repair of parts, return or crediting of the purchase price, or referral of the claim to the original manufacturer for the manufacturer’s warranty review. The vessel owner and/or customer is responsible to pay for any shipping costs associated with obtaining replacement parts. Further, if it becomes necessary for a DIESELWORX representative to travel to the vessel, all flights and accommodations will be at the expense of the vessel owner and/or customer. DIESELWORX shall not be liable, directly or indirectly, in contract, tort or otherwise to the vessel’s owner(s), charter(s), underwriter(s), lien holder(s) or other parties in interest for any damage to the vessel, its engines, equipment or appurtenances unless such damage is caused solely by DIESELWORX gross negligence or intentional tort. In no event shall DIESELWORX aggregate liability in connection with any parts, repairs or services rendered to any vessel exceed the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) or the value of the relevant vessel, whichever figure is less. Further, in no event shall DIESELWORX be liable for any incidental, economic, consequential or special damages, including, but not limited to: faulty or negligent design or manufacture, delay, loss of revenue, loss of use, loss of charter revenue, detention, wharfage, demurrage, tug expense, pilotage, crew wages, salvage or dockage.
This Limited Warranty is only valid for ninety (90) days following the completion of the repairs or services rendered by DIESELWORX. This period shall govern whether the alleged defect is latent or patent and shall not be deemed to be tolled or to arise at any future time as a result of the discovery of a latent defect. Remedies for latent defects not discovered and submitted to DIESELWORX within the 90 day period shall be exclusively limed to remedies available from the manufacturer, if any. Written notice of a potential claim must be provided to DIESELWORX within fourteen (14) days after the occurrence of any incident potentially covered under this Limited Warranty.
This Limited Warranty will be voided and no parts or labor will be warranted, and no liability shall be held if the repairs or services rendered by DIESELWORX have been tampered with by any unauthorized individual without prior written approval by DIESELWORX. This applies to any modification, installation, alternation or other unauthorized work which alters the original workmanship of DIESELWORX.
