     If you are unhappy with your Image Intensified or Thermal Night Vision purchase or if the item is defective, you MUST contact KERIF Night Vision within 48 hours of receipt for a refund and within 7 days for Exchange, subject to a 20% Restocking/Handling Fee. At KERIF’s discretion, full credit towards another purchase may be offered (fee not applicable to damaged products returned under warranty). This fee may be charged if the unit needs to be sent back to the factory for inspection, recalibration, refurbishing and repackaging. Shipping Costs are Non-Refundable. Return shipping and insurance costs are the responsibility of the customer on no-fault returns. No returned parcels will be accepted freight collect or COD. Time of use will be determined as the time package is delivered by shipping authority, whether the package is sealed, opened and in use or not. KERIF Night Vision is not liable for loss of use or any damage to persons or property from the improper use or setup, inoperability or diminished function.

Any claim by Seller for adjustment under this Paragraph 15(a) must be asserted in writing within twenty (20) days from the date of receipt by Seller of notification of the change or suspension and shall be followed as soon as practicable with specification of the amount claimed and supporting cost figures. However, nothing herein shall excuse Seller from proceeding with your Purchase Order as changed pending resolution of the claim.

Seller shall indemnify and save Buyer, and its customers harmless from any and all expenses, liability, and loss of any kind (including all costs and expenses including attorneys’ fees) arising out of claims, suits, or actions alleging such infringement, which claims, suits, or actions Seller, hereby, agrees to defend, at Seller’s expense, if requested to do so by Buyer. Seller may replace or modify infringing items with comparable items acceptable to Buyer of substantially the same form, fit, and function so as to remove the source of infringement, and Seller’s obligations under your Purchase Order including those contained in Section 13 and in this Section 16 shall apply to the replacement and modified items.
