1. Caution: Any tempered glass Units must not be modified or receive any fabrication such as grinding, drilling, sand blasting, etc., subsequent to tempering. Such modification or additional fabrication may seriously weaken the glass or impair its tempered characteristics. Tempered glass should not be exposed to temperatures at or in excess of 400 F for any sustained period of time.
2. Caution: Federal, state and local laws require the use of safety glazing situations. The use of non-safety glazing materials in these situations is unlawful and hazardous. Buyer is solely responsible for specifying and using the appropriate glazing material to insure non-safety glazing materials are not used in or resold for use in hazardous or illegal situations.  

No Modification of Warranty: No dealer, distributor, installer, contractor or sales representative of MLC has the authority to alter or modify any warranty contained herein, make any warranty or make any representation as to suitability of use, either orally or in writing, and any such alteration, modification or warranty or representation shall be ineffective as against MLC, unless agreed to in writing by an officer of MLC.  

Bars to Recovery: BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT SHALL BE REQUIRED TO INSPECT ALL GOODS AT THE AGREED DELIVERY POINT AND SHALL WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT TO CONDITION OF ANY GOODS BASED ON ANY DEFECT THAT THE INSPECTION DOES OR SHOULD REASONABLY REVEAL AND THAT BUYER DOES NOT OVJECT TO AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION. BUYER SHALL WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE CONDITION OF ANY GOODS IF BUYER FAILS TO MAKE ITS INSPECTION UPON DELIVERY OF SUCH GOODS BY THE CARRIER.

It is expressly understood and agreed that unreasonable use, improper storage, glazing or installation, use beyond the normal fashion, failure to follow instructions, failure to maintain goods in good condition and repair shall bar Buyer from any recovery on any warranty contained herein. In the event Buyer discovers a defect by which it is reasonable to conclude that damage, either personal, property or economic, may result, Buyer’s continued use of the Goods shall constitute an assumption of the risk of buyer and a bar to any recovery of any warranty.
