This warranty does not apply to, and Seller shall have no obligation or responsibility for, any losses or alleged defects which occur or appear after delivery of the nursery stock to buyer. In the event buyer wishes to make any claim pursuant to this warranty, buyer must deliver to Seller written notice of any such claim within forty-eight (48) hours of the delivery of the subject nursery stock to buyer; otherwise this warranty shall automatically expire with respect to said nursery stock at the end of said forty-eight hour period. In no event shall Seller have any liability to buyer pursuant to this warranty or otherwise for any amount in excess of the purchase price actually paid by buyer for the nursery stock in question. Seller further reserves the right to determine the reasonableness of any claim and make whatever adjustments it deems proper and adequate. Except as expressly set forth above, Seller makes no warranties or representations, expressed or implied, with respect to merchantability, fitness for particular purpose, or otherwise with respect to any of the nursery stock which it sells. RESTOCKING CHARGE In the event that buyer returns, cancels, or refuses to accept delivery of any nursery stock ordered or purchased from Seller, or does not provide payment upon delivery for C.O.D. orders, buyer shall pay to Seller a minimum of 25% of the purchase price of said nursery stock to reimburse Seller for the cost of assembling, loading, delivering and restocking. Credit is contingent upon inspection of returned nursery stock and approval by Seller. Plants returned via Seller’s truck are subject to a $60.00 per hour trucking fee in addition to a minimum 25% restocking charge. 39 Notes Notes Notes Notes Notes Notes Notes 40
