In all cases of delay, the time for delivery shall be extended by a reasonable period having regard to the cause of delay.

For the period from 91 days to 1 year, Lansmont will pay for parts and labor required to satisfy the warranty.

Any standard commercially purchased components included in the shipment are guaranteed to the extent of the original manufacturer's warranty.

For all non-taxable transactions, Buyer shall provide Seller a tax exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing authorities. In the event Seller is required at any time to pay any such tax or charge, Buyer agrees to reimburse Seller promptly on demand. If any governmental agency requires Buyer to withhold any portion of the gross payment due to Seller, then such payment shall be increased by the amount of such withholding.
