Buyer shall be responsible for any duty tax, fee, or charge of any nature imposed by any governmental authority upon the sale of Products to Buyer. In the event Sunrise is required to pay such tax, fee, or charge, Buyer shall reimburse Sunrise within ten (10) days.
Warranty
A written warranty statement is supplied with each Product ("Written Warranty Statement"). A copy of the Written Warranty Statement is also available from Sunrise upon request.

To the extent a valid warranty obligation exists, as determined by Sunrise, Sunrise shall then be entitled to take corrective actions within a reasonable time in the manner it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to repair or replacement of the Product or refund the price paid for the Product. If Sunrise takes corrective action, then Sunrise shall not be liable for any loss or damage of any nature whatsoever arising from and after the initial delivery of the Product or the performance of its warranty obligations. Buyer shall not extend to any end-user warranty terms, which are different than Sunrise's standard warranty terms.
