Ineffectiveness of products or equipment sold or leased in connection herewith, or other unintended consequences, may result because of such factors as (without limitation) the presence of unfavorable geologic or weather conditions, or the manner of use or application, and these risks and liabilities, along with any others (without limitation), are hereby assumed by Customer, user, and their customers.

No person or agent has any authority on behalf of Seller to make any warranties, guarantees, or representations different from, or in addition to, those stated herein.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, ENHANCED OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR DAMAGES IN THE NATURE OF PENALTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST PROFITS, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOSS OF YIELD, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE, THE CUSTOMER WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, SELLER’S LIABILITY FOR DIRECT DAMAGES (A) FOR PRODUCT SOLD OR EQUIPMENT PROVIDED SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE PURCHASE OR LEASE PRICE OF THE PARTICULAR PRODUCT OR EQUIPMENT WITH RESPECT TO WHICH SUCH DAMAGES ARE CLAIMED, AND (B) FOR SERVICES PROVIDED SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE FOR THE PARTICULAR SERVICES PERFORMED. Seller does not warrant and shall not be liable for any results obtained in using any product or equipment sold or leased hereunder either alone or in combination with other substances, products or equipment or for any results obtained in using any services, and shall not in any case be liable to Customer or any other person or entity for damages to person or property or otherwise, incurred as a result of the purchase, use (negligent or otherwise), treatment, storage, handling (including without limitation demurrage or like charges), disposal, application or performance of any product or equipment sold or leased hereunder or use of any service provided hereunder.

Any claim for shortage, damage, or condition of product (excluding chemical analysis) sold or equipment leased hereunder or deficiency in services must be made in writing at once upon arrival of such product or equipment or delivery of the services. Failure by Customer to so notify Seller will be deemed a waiver of such claims by Customer.

The following additional provisions shall apply when Customer provides Seller funds to be held on Customer’s account for future purchase(s) of qualifying product, equipment or services that are not specifically identified) at the time Customer provides such funds (a “General Prepayment”):
In consideration of Seller accepting Customer funds in connection with a General Prepayment (“General Prepay Funds”),Customer agrees to these provisions governing General Prepayment, in addition to the above Terms and Conditions (collectively, the “General Prepay Agreement”). In the event of a conflict between the following terms and the Terms and Conditions, the following terms shall govern and prevail. General Prepay Funds are nonrefundable and nontransferable except within Seller’s sole discretion. General Prepay Funds may only be applied to purchases of qualifying product, equipment or services. This General Prepay Agreement does not guarantee availability or a particular price for any of Seller’s product, equipment or services. General Prepay Funds must be applied to the purchase of qualifying product, equipment or services within a commercially reasonable period of time from the date they are provided to Seller. Seller may permit an extension of this time period but shall be under no obligation to do so. If Customer has not timely applied all General Prepay Funds to the purchase of qualifying product, equipment or services, then Seller may, in its sole discretion and in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it in law or equity, terminate this General Prepay Agreement and retain, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the General Prepay Funds. The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller’s harm caused by Customer’s breach of this General Prepay Agreement would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate at the time of contracting and that the amount of General Prepay Funds is a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual impact to Seller. If Customer owes any outstanding amounts to Seller or its affiliates, Seller may first apply Customer’s General Prepay Funds to satisfy such amounts (including penalties and interest). General Prepay Funds do not entitle Customer to any discount, interest, or other benefit.
The following additional provisions shall apply when Customer provides Seller funds to purchase specific product, equipment or services, but desires to take possession or delivery of the same at a future date (“Specific Prepay”):
In consideration of the Seller providing the prepaid products or services set forth above (“Prepaid Items”), Customer agrees to the following terms governing Specific Prepay, in addition to the above Terms and Conditions (collectively, the “Specific Prepay Agreement”). In the event of a conflict between the following terms and the above Terms and Conditions or the Customer Contract, the following terms shall govern and prevail. Customer shall pay to Seller the Extended Price detailed in the above Customer Contract (“the Prepaid Purchase Price”) no later than the above Prepayment Due Date. Thereafter, Seller shall deliver or perform the Prepaid Items to or at the location designated by Customer at any time during the period beginning on the applicable “Valid From” date set forth above until the “Valid To” date also set forth above (the “Final Delivery Date”). Customer acknowledges that this Specific Prepay Agreement is not cancellable. If Customer has not accepted delivery or performance of all of the contracted quantity set forth above of the applicable Prepaid Items (“Contracted Quantity”) by the Final Delivery Date, then Seller may, in its sole discretion and in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it in law or equity or under this Specific Prepay Agreement, (i) require Customer to pay a storage fee equal to ___________________ per __________ for Prepaid Items in storage on the first day of each month, until such time as delivery or performance of the entire Contracted Quantity has been accepted by Customer, or (ii) terminate this Specific Prepay Agreement and retain, as liquidated damages and not a penalty, the Prepaid Purchase Price. The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller’s harm caused by Customer’s breach of this Specific Prepay Agreement would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate at the time of contracting and that the Prepaid Purchase Price is a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual impact to Seller. If Customer is willing to accept delivery or performance of the Contracted Quantity of Prepaid Items, but Seller is unable to deliver or perform prior to the Final Delivery Date, Seller will continue to honor the Prepaid Purchase Price and deliver or perform the Prepaid Items within a mutually agreeable period of time after the Final Delivery Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if Customer’s requirements exceed the Contracted Quantity set forth above for any Prepaid Items, the price for any excess quantity will be the prevailing retail market price for that product or service and the sale of such product or services shall be governed by the Terms and Conditions provided above. Prepaid Items cannot be exchanged for other similar products or services using an equivalent prepay price. Customer agrees to pay any taxes, duties or charges that are applicable to the sale of the Prepaid Items purchased hereunder in addition to the Prepaid Purchase Price. Seller shall not be liable to Customer, or deemed to have breached this Specific Prepay Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing this Specific Prepay Agreement when such delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond Seller’s control, including without limitation, acts of God, severe or unusual weather events or patterns, actions of government, strikes, fires, floods, wars, civil commotions, embargoes, shortages of power, supply, transportation, or infrastructure, industrial disturbances, and other similar events or circumstances.
