In the event of damage or loss in transit, the Buyer must give immediate
notice to the carrier's agent at destination and to the Seller. The Seller
will not accept claims for shortage or errors in charges or shipment if

Acceptance: Should the Buyer require inspection by its own representative,
at its own cost, the request must be made when the order is placed to
allow for price and schedule adjustments if required, and the cost shall
be paid by the Buyer. Otherwise, goods are deemed to be inspected and
accepted before shipment is made. Buyer's representative(s) may be required
to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before entering the Seller's facility.
Payment: Unless otherwise stipulated by the Seller, all invoices
become net due and payable thirty (30) calendar days after date of invoice,
and Seller reserves the right to charge interest or to apply a service
charge at the highest rate allowed by law on any overdue invoices. Receipt

the Seller with the identity of the end-user and country of end-use information
with respect to the products/services provided by the Seller.

approval by the Treasurer of the Seller. Should the Buyer fail to fulfill
the terms of payment for any order, the Seller may defer further shipment
until such payments are made or may cancel any or all orders unshipped.
The Seller reserves the right to require from the Buyer satisfactory security
for performance of the Buyer's obligations under any order placed with
the Seller, and refusal or failure to furnish such security will entitle
the Seller to suspend shipment until such security is furnished or to
cancel the order, or orders, on the unshipped portion thereof. In the
event the Buyer cancels any order, the Buyer shall become liable for and
pay the Seller's reasonable cancellation charges, including payment for
partially completed items, which amount shall be determined for the particular
circumstances.

Warranty: The Seller warrants goods of its own manufacture against
defects in material and workmanship when goods are used operated and/or
serviced in accordance with prudent oilfield practices and the Seller's
written instructions for a period of 12 months from the date the goods
are first put into service or 18 months from the date of shipment, Ex-Works
Edmonton, Canada, whichever comes first. All other goods purchased are
warranted only to the extent of the express warranty of the third party
manufacturer and only to the extent that such is enforceable by the Seller.
The Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller of any issue relating to the
goods and the Seller shall promptly investigate the issue and advise the
Buyer how to proceed. No material may be returned by the Buyer except
by prior arrangement with the Seller.
If the Seller requires that the goods be returned to the Seller's facility
for inspection, Buyer shall send such goods on a freight pre-paid and
DDP basis, per current Incoterm. Should Seller determine after investigation
that the repair is covered under the terms of its warranty, the Seller
will reimburse the Buyer for its reasonable transportation costs incurred
in delivering goods to the Seller's facility for repair. Such costs shall
be calculated from an onshore staging area or mutually accepted site to
the Seller's facility. The Seller will not be responsible for costs related
to rig stand-by time, offshore lifting, re-installation, or any work performed
below the waterline, diving support, nor transportation of goods or personnel
between the offshore location of the goods and the agreed upon staging
area. Costs for offshore transport and providing any temporary equipment
to replace defective goods for testing, commissioning or operating shall
be borne by the Buyer. The Seller will cover the costs for return of same
goods to the Buyer to the same onshore staging area. If it is determined
that goods returned for warranty work are not eligible for coverage under
warranty, the Buyer shall be responsible for all costs of repairs and
transportation.
The Seller will warrant rectified goods or replacement components for
one period only of 12 months from rectification, unless a longer warranty
period applies.
No liability will be accepted by the Seller for claims for labour, indirect
expenditures, punitive or consequential losses. The Seller clarifies that
its liability shall be limited to a maximum of 100% of the Contract value.
Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Contract, no warranty, either
express or implied, is given by the Seller and no express or implied term
shall be incorporated as to the fitness, capacity or efficiency of the
goods sold.
Due to the unique nature of its goods, repair of defective goods may only
be made by the Seller or by a designated Service Representative appointed
by it. The Seller will not be liable for resultant expenses should the
Buyer choose to repair or replace goods purchased from the Seller. Use
of a third party to repair or replace the goods will invalidate the Seller's
warranty.
The Seller's liability in case of defects covered by this warranty shall
be limited to the obligations referred to therein.
Liability: The total liability of the Seller under or in connection
with the Contract, including but not limited to any claim in relation
to the performance or breach of the Contract, or arising from the manufacture,
sale, delivery, installation, repair or technical correction or other
work or services covered by or furnished by the Seller, and whether such
claim is based upon warranty, statute, contract, tort (including negligence
and strict liability), or any other basis, shall not exceed the Contract
price. Except in the case of death or personal injury caused by the Seller's
negligence, or liability for defective products under the laws of Canada,
the Seller will not be liable to the Buyer by reason of any representation
(unless fraudulent) or any implied warranty, condition or other term,
or any duty at law, or under the express terms and conditions of the Contract
for any loss or damage of any kind, including, but not limited to work
stoppage, lost profits, loss of use, goodwill, diminution of value, office
overhead, or any other incidental, indirect, special, consequential or
punitive loss or damage, costs, expenses or other claims for compensation
whatsoever (whether caused by the negligence of the Seller, its employees
or agents or otherwise) which arise out of or in connection with the supply
of the goods (including any delay in supplying or any failure to supply
the goods in accordance with the Contract or at all) or their use or resale
by the Buyer.
General: Failure of the Seller to enforce any of these conditions
or to exercise any right occurring through the default of the Buyer shall
not constitute a waiver or acceptance of other or future defaults of the
Buyer.
No statement or recommendation made or assistance given by the Seller
or its representatives to the Buyer or its representatives, in connection
with the use of any products by the Buyer shall constitute a waiver by
the Seller of any of the provisions hereof nor affect the Seller's liability
as herein defined.
These terms and conditions shall be interpreted in accordance with the
laws of the province of Alberta, Canada.
If any of these terms and conditions is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and this agreement
shall be as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part of this agreement.
