9. EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

A. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the nature of the Product is inherently such that breakdowns or malfunctions may occur. The Purchaser agrees that KINETIX’s obligations in respect of such breakdowns or malfunctions are limited to those set out in this Clause 9. If the Purchaser and KINETIX shall not enter into a maintenance agreement then but not otherwise, KINETIX will provide the following limited service:

(i) if before the expiration of two years from the date of actual delivery of the Products and if the Purchaser shall have complied with its obligations hereunder any part of the Product shall prove defective and shall be returned to KINETIX’s factory at the cost of the Purchaser and if upon inspection KINETIX agree that the part is defective KINETIX will repair or replace the same (as KINETIX may think fit) and will return the same to the Purchaser but KINETIX shall be under no further liability or obligations in respect thereof.
(ii) KINETIX shall not be required to provide the limited service referred to sub-paragraph (i) of this paragraph.

b. if anything which may be connected to the Product is unsuitable for such connection or interferes with the proper functioning of the Product.

D. Except where the negligence or default of KINETIX results in death or personal injury, the aggregate liability of KINETIX under or in conjunction with the Contract and/or the Product or any part thereof (no matter how many claims are made or whatever the basis of such claims) shall be limited in total to the price paid for the Product.
E. The Purchaser agrees that he is in a better position to foresee and evaluate any indirect or consequential loss he may suffer in connection with the Product and that the price therefore has been calculated on the basis that KINETIX will exclude and limit liability as set out in this Clause. The Purchaser agrees that he has an opportunity to insure against such loss.
F. Insofar as it limits or excludes liability, this Clause 9 shall override any other provision in these Conditions and each of the paragraphs of this Clause shall be treated as a severable contract term not affected by any invalidity or unenforceability of any other paragraph or contract term, and shall survive the termination of the Contract.
