As a condition to SKF's warranty obligations hereunder and if requested or
authorized in writing by SKF, Buyer shall forward to SKF any Product claimed
by Buyer as being defective. Buyer shall prepay all transportation charges to
SKF's factory or authorized service center. SKF will bear the cost of shipping
any replacement Products to Buyer. Buyer agrees to pay SKF's invoice for
the then-current price of any replacement Product furnished to Buyer by
SKF, if the Product that was replaced is later determined by SKF to conform
to this limited warranty.
SKF shall not be obligated under this limited warranty or otherwise for normal
wear and tear or for any Product which, following shipment and any
installation by SKF (if required by the contract with the Buyer), has, in SKF's
sole judgment, been subjected to accident, abuse, misapplication, improper
mounting or remounting, improper lubrication, improper repair or alteration,
or maintenance, neglect, excessive operating conditions or for defects caused
by or attributable to the Buyer, including without limitation Buyer's failure to
comply with any written instructions provided to Buyer by SKF.
SKF shall be free to conduct such tests, investigations and analysis of the
Products returned to SKF, as it deems reasonable and proper in the exercise
of its sole judgment. As a further condition to SKF's obligations hereunder,
Buyer shall offer its reasonable cooperation to SKF in the course of SKF's
review of any warranty claim, including, by way of example only, Buyer's
providing to SKF any and all information as to service, operating history,
mounting, wiring, or re-lubrication of the Product which is the subject of the
Buyer's warranty claim.
