This warranty shall not apply to Products that have been repaired or altered by anyone other than the Manufacturer. This Warranty shall not apply to any Products subject to misuse do to common negligence or accident.

Any oral statement concerning the Products, where such statement is inconsistent with this warranty shall be of no force nor effect. The only warranties concerning the Products are made in writing by Manufacturer. The Customer may not rely upon any statement or representation concerning the Product made by any other person.

5. Customer shall examine any such Products for any damage, defect, or shortage. All claims for any cause whatsoever (whether such cause be based on contract, breach of warranty, negligence, strict liability, other tort, or otherwise) shall be deemed waived unless made in writing and received by Manufacturer within 30 days after Customer’s receipt of such Products or before such Products are used, which ever shall occur first, or if such claim is for non-delivery of such Products, within 30 days after the date upon which such Products were to be delivered; provided that as to such claim not reasonably discoverable within such 30 day period (including such claims discoverable only in processing, further manufacture, other use or resale), such claim shall be made in writing and received by Manufacturer within 180 days after Customer’s receipt of Products.

The agreement between Manufacturer and Customer shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Montana.

8. While the design and manufacture of the EarthBuster probe, probe tip, and probe manifold are excellent and sturdy, the very nature of the use of these parts means they must be considered as consumables—just as are any common tools such as air hammer probes, drill bits, saw blades, etc. The warranty covers these probe components with regard to defects in materials and workmanship, but bending, cracking, and breaking from use over time is to be expected, just as with any air hammer parts, and is not covered in the warranty.
