Buyer agrees that the amount of liquidated damages specified herein is not a penalty and constitutes an actual good faith reasonable estimate of the actual damages that Seller would be expected to incur upon a Breach by Buyer. The foregoing liquidated damages are in addition to and not in lieu of damages recoverable under Section 5(B).(B) Buyer is also responsible and liable to Seller for all damages due to delay caused by Buyer or its agents or representatives.

In addition to, or as part of, Seller’s other remedies specified herein, upon Buyer’s Breach, Seller may retain on its own account all payments paid by Buyer, and such retention shall not impair any other remedies available to Seller under this Contract or at law or equity.
  7.

In the case of any dispute, Buyer shall take delivery of the goods, pay for the same without set-off against or reduction in any amount payable hereunder, and make a claim under Seller’s or a third party’s warranty, as may be applicable.

All specifications for the building or structure purchased hereunder set forth on the face hereof have been provided to Seller by Buyer based on Buyer’s own due diligence, judgment and determination as to Buyer’s erection location, use and occupancy requirements and the requirements necessary for the building or structure to comply with all applicable Building Laws. Buyer agrees that the materials, goods and specifications described herein are in all respects the materials, goods and specifications required by Buyer and Buyer accepts sole responsibility for correcting any nonconformity between the materials, goods and specifications stated herein and in Change Orders and the materials, goods and specifications required by Buyer.

  14. Building size and all other dimensions are approximate and intended to identify standard sizes sold by the Seller. Except when specifically indicated, all dimensions are exterior dimensions. No warranty or representation is given by the Seller as to exact dimension, as the same will vary upon concrete base and other factors. In particular, all vertical measurements are taken from the elevation at the base of the steel columns of the building shown in the drawings, and do not take into account differing elevations for the building that may result due to finished concrete floor or other floor elevations.

With the sole exception of those claims expressly permitted to Buyer against Seller set forth in this Contract, Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any and all losses, costs, expenses, claims, suits, demands and damages, including attorney’s fees, arising from or in connection with any alleged or real injury, including injury to any person or to property, incurred or asserted in connection with or as a result of work performed or materials supplied by Seller hereunder or any work performed by or for Buyer in connection with the erection, construction or installation of the Steel Building, components or goods purchased, or any other claim or suit arising out of this Contract.

Buyer should take precautions to properly maintain the building once erected to ensure that no damage is caused by the accumulations of snow or ice, including removal of snow and ice from the roof and walls. Buyer understands that metal components are not machine precision manufactured and some field cutting, drilling or welding might be necessary for construction. Buyer accepts responsibility for making minor field modifications.
  18. The Total Purchase Price is subject to re-costing if the full amount of the Engineering Payment is not paid or the estimated delivery date is not filled in on the face hereof at the time Buyer signs this Contract or if Buyer delays or postpones Buyer’s or Seller’s performance hereunder. Examples of such delay include Buyer’s failure to: cooperate in scheduling of delivery; accept the delivery date scheduled by Seller within seven (7) days of notice from Seller; promptly provide information needed by Seller to manufacture or procure goods; or make any payment when and in the manner due hereunder. In such event without limiting or waiving of any of Seller’s rights hereunder or at law, Seller may demand and Buyer shall thereupon immediately pay Seller all increases and increased costs that occur or are incurred after the Acceptance Date, including without limitation, increased materials, labor, freight, and delivery costs and related surcharges and storage fees (“Increased Costs”) and the Total Purchase Price shall be automatically increased by such Increased Costs. Without limiting or waiving the remedies or rights available to Seller under Section 3(A) or(3)(C) or any other provision hereof, if Buyer does not, within, seven (7) days of notice from Seller accept the delivery of the building or the goods ordered hereunder on the delivery date scheduled by Seller, (i) any future delivery date requested by Buyer shall be subject to Seller’s schedule at the time of request by Buyer (and Seller may therefore need to postpone delivery from Buyer’s desired rescheduled date), and (ii) after such future delivery date is rescheduled by Seller, Seller may notify Buyer of any Increased Costs that are due to the Buyer’s delay of Seller’s manufacture, delivery or other performance and Buyer agrees that it shall pay Seller all Increased Cost upon demand.

Failure by Buyer to pay Increased Costs and charges described in this section shall be a Breach by Buyer of this Contract entitling Seller to the damages and remedies described in Sections 5 and 6 above, respectively.
  19.
