12. Exclusive Remedy and Limitation of Liability.
The sole and exclusive remedy for any warranty claim shall be, at Seller's sole option, either (a) the replacement or repair of any defective goods; or (b) refund of the purchase price previously paid for such goods by Buyer. Seller may require the return of the goods as a condition of any warranty coverage under these Contract Terms or otherwise. If Seller requires the return of the goods in connection with any warranty claim, the goods will be redelivered to Seller at Buyer's expense by lowest cost mode of transportation and as directed by Seller. Seller reserves the right to inspect any claimed defect, repair defective goods or install replacement parts, and perform any adjustment incident to satisfactory operation of the goods, and to thereafter return those goods to Buyer in fulfillment of Seller's warranty obligations. THESE REMEDIES (REPAIR. REPLACEMENT OR REFUND) ARE BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIMED BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT AND SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR DIRECT INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE OR KIND WHATSOEVER (including without limitation, lost revenues, lost profits, recall expenses, or line down time). Under no circumstances shall Seller's liability on any claim for damages arising out of or connected with the contract or the manufacture, sale, delivery or use of the goods exceed the purchase price of the goods previously paid by Buyer to Seller. Seller shall have no liability for claims rewriting from circumstances beyond Seller's reasonable control.
