2. Shipments. Shipments of each Product will be made FOB Seller’s Facility. Buyer will select the carrier, and promptly unload each shipment at its own risk and expense, including demurrage or detention charges.
3. Warranties. Seller warrants that each Product will meet specifications designated as such in the Seller’s current, applicable publications. Seller also warrants that it will comply with all applicable laws and governmental rules, regulations and orders. SELLER MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND NONE WILL BE IMPLIED.
4. Price and Payments Terms. For each Product, the price, FOB point and terms of payment will be specified for that Product in the Contract or otherwise quoted by Seller.
