Warranty Repair and RMA Process

KCFs sole obligation with respect to any product which is found to contain any material defect in workmanship within the applicable warranty period shall be, at KCFs sole discretion, either to repair or replace such product at no charge to the original buyer, or to refund the purchase price upon return of the defective product to KCF. The replacement product need not be new (i.e., it may be used or reconditioned) nor be of identical make, model or part, so long as KCF has reasonably determined that it is substantially equivalent or superior in all material respects to the product being replaced. Repaired or replacement products will be warranted for the remainder of the original applicable warranty period. All products (including any part thereof) replaced by KCF or for which the purchase price is refunded shall become the property of KCF upon replacement or refund. Unless otherwise designated in writing by KCF, KCF is the only party authorized to perform warranty service on KCF products and services.

If a product is believed to be defective and is still in warranty, or if KCF has otherwise agreed to accept return of a product, You shall (unless otherwise instructed in writing by KCF): (i) if the product is alleged to be defective, provide KCF with a written description in sufficient detail to allow KCF to confirm such defect; (ii) obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number from KCF; (iii) if requested by KCF, provide written proof of purchase of the product (such as a copy of the dated purchase invoice for the product); (iv) after an RMA number is issued, package the product securely in the original or other suitable shipping package to ensure that it will not be damaged in transit, with the RMA number prominently marked on the outside of the package; and (v) within fifteen (15) days of issuance of the RMA, ship the product at Your sole expense to KCF or its distribution center, as indicated by KCF. In addition: (a) If the product is being returned for maintenance, calibration, recalibration or repair, You must not include any manuals or accessories in the shipping package. KCF will only replace the defective portion of the product and will not ship back any accessories. (b) You are responsible for all shipping charges to KCF. No Cash on Delivery (“COD”) is allowed. Products sent COD will either be rejected by KCF or become the property of KCF, at KCFs sole discretion. (c) You shall fully insure any product for return to KCF and KCF shall in no event be responsible for any shipment lost in transit. (d) Repaired or replaced products will be shipped to You via UPS Ground or any common carrier selected by KCF, with shipping charges prepaid by KCF. Expedited shipping is available if shipping charges are prepaid by You and only upon request. (e) KCF may reject or return any product that is not packaged and shipped in strict compliance with the foregoing requirements or for which an RMA number has not been obtained or is not visible from the outside of the package. The product owner agrees to pay KCFs reasonable handling and return shipping charges for any product that is not packaged and shipped in accordance with the foregoing requirements or that is determined by KCF not to be defective or nonconforming.

If KCF determines that a software update is required in order to address Your warranty issue, KCF will provide instructions for obtaining the update, which may include agreement to additional licensing terms. You are responsible for implementing the necessary updates.

Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Force Majeure.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, You and KCF agree that neither party, nor its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, representatives, agents, or contractors, shall be liable to the other party, nor its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, representatives, agents, or contractors, for any indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, nor for any damages arising from personal injury or death, injury to real or tangible property, delay, loss of goodwill, loss of, damage to, or unauthorized access to data, interruption in use or availability of data, loss of use of money or use of products, lost profits, revenue or savings (actual or anticipated), or other economic loss ensuing from or in connection with products or services or these Terms of Sale, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. KCF shall not be liable for any failure of Your equipment not provided by KCF. To the maximum extent permitted by law, KCF’s aggregate liability to You shall not exceed the monies received from You for the purchase of products and services. These limitations shall apply notwithstanding the failure of the essential purpose of any limited remedy.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless KCF and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, representatives, agents, or contractors from and against any and all losses, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and legal expenses) arising out of or related to: (1) any use, misuse or nonuse of a product or service by You, any person acting under Your direction, control or authorization, or any third party, whether such product is used alone or in conjunction with the operation, use, maintenance or service of any other product or good, tangible or intangible, and regardless of the purpose of such use, misuse or nonuse, including without limitation the compliance of any other product or good with any safety or technical standard or specification for operation, use or maintenance; and (2) any third party claim arising out of or related in any way to any product or service sold to You.KCF agrees to indemnify and hold You and Your affiliates harmless from any damages arising out of or connected to claims, actions, or proceedings asserted by third parties based upon or related to (a) KCF’s failure to properly license any third-party software provided by KCF to You in connection with providing our products or services to You or (b) KCF’s material breach of these Terms of Sale.

Except for obligations to make payments, neither KCF nor You will be liable for delay or failure to perform obligations under these Terms of Sale where the delay or failure results from a cause beyond either party’s reasonable control, such as utility failures or, more generally, acts of God.

No Assignment

Neither these Terms of Sale nor any license related to software granted herein may be assigned, sublicensed, leased, sold or otherwise transferred by You without prior written consent from KCF, and any transfer made without such prior written consent shall be null and void. These Terms of Sale and any rights granted herein by KCF are personal to You and may be used for personal or internal business use only and may not be used on behalf of a client or customer of You except as authorized in writing by KCF.

Choice of Law and Choice of Venue

The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or related to any product or service sold by KCF to You or the Agreement shall be brought only in the courts with proper subject matter jurisdiction located in or having jurisdiction over the county in which KCF has its principal place of business at the time of filing of such action, suit or proceeding, and the parties hereby unconditionally and irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection that they may now or hereafter have with respect thereto.

Severability and Non-Waiver

If any provision of the Agreement shall be held void, voidable, invalid or inoperative, no other provision hereof shall be affected as a result, and accordingly, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect as though such void, voidable, invalid or inoperative provision had not been contained herein, provided, however, that if such void, voidable, invalid or inoperative provision is a material term or condition, the parties shall be compelled to supply a substitute provision, negotiated in good faith, which comes closest to their original intention. No provision of the Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of either party, it being understood that waiver may only occur by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized officer of the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. In the event of a waiver, whether in writing or by operation of law, such waiver shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or of the same provision on another occasion.

Entire Agreement

This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals and representations with respect to the subject matter and shall prevail over any conflicting or additional terms of any quote, order, previous agreement, acknowledgment or similar communications between KCF and You. If these Terms of Sale are incorporated by reference into any other agreement between the parties or any terms and conditions applicable to You, with respect to any ambiguity or conflict between such incorporating agreement or terms, on the one hand, and these Terms of Sale, on the other hand, such incorporating agreement or terms shall control to the extent of the scope of such incorporating agreement or terms and these Terms of Sale shall control with respect to matters outside the scope of such incorporating agreement or terms.

The paragraph headings in these Terms and Conditions of Sale are solely for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance.
