To the extent Skye Walls Products are shipped, transported, and delivered to the Registered Dealer by third-party carrier, they shall be delivered F.O.B Western Window Systems’ facility, located at 2200 E. Riverview Drive, Phoenix, Arizona 85034 (the “Facility”) and once provided by Western Window Systems to the carrier for transport, the Skye Walls Products shall be deemed to have been delivered and all risk of loss shall transfer to the Registered Dealer.

Upon receipt of a shipment, the Registered Dealer is required to immediately inspect the Skye Walls Products. Any damage, shortages, errors, or other inconsistencies with the Dealer Acknowledgement must be reported to Western Window Systems in writing within forty-eight (48) hours from receipt of the shipment. Failure to make such a claim within such forty-eight (48) hour period will constitute a waiver of all such claims by the Registered Dealer and such failure will constitute acceptance of the Skye Walls Products, as delivered.
In the event of any dispute between Western Window Systems and the Registered Dealer, the Registered Dealer shall not withhold payment of the purchase price of the Skye Walls Products purchased or any other amount payable to Western Window Systems.
Special Orders refers to any non-standard option request. Western Window Systems’ Special Order validation and pricing process only evaluates Western Window Systems’ ability to build the non-standard specifications requested and the estimated cost of additional materials that may be necessary (such as the cost of steel for additional structural support) based solely on the requested product size and configuration. Western Window Systems does not individually test Special Order options or configurations or undertake any independent evaluation of individual project conditions. Therefore, Western Window Systems’ validation of any Special Order or estimated costs of additional materials is neither advice nor a recommendation, guarantee, warranty, or certification that the Special Order product (or additional quoted materials) will meet the performance criteria of Western Window Systems’ standard options or otherwise be appropriate or suitable for any particular project, design, application, climate, condition, use, or customer need or purpose and should not be relied on or used as a substitute for a comprehensive analysis by a structural engineer or other qualified construction professional. Western Window Systems strongly recommends obtaining an independent suitability evaluation for each project by a qualified professional.
Western Window Systems does not guarantee, warranty, or certify the use or installation of any optional accessories, parts, add-ons, equipment, supports, pans, caps, screens, safety or panic hardware, or other aftermarket items (whether or not affixed to Western Window Systems’ products and whether or not manufactured by Western Window Systems or other third-parties) (collectively, “Optional Accessories”). The use or installation of such Optional Accessories may damage the fenestration products and negatively impact operation and performance characteristics. Registered Dealers and/or construction professionals who elect to use or install Optional Accessories do so at their own risk and Western Window Systems expressly disclaims all liability for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages caused by, resulting from, or connected to the use or installation of Optional Accessories. In addition, use or installation of any Optional Accessories may void Western Window Systems’ limited express warranties to the extent it causes product damage, adversely affects product operation or performance as designed, or violates AAMA standards or applicable building codes.
Registered Dealers shall conduct themselves in an honest and professional manner and at no time misrepresent the Skye Walls Program or Western Window Systems’ products, services, or warranties to any third-party. The Registered Dealer also shall not engage in any selling practices that are not sanctioned by Western Window Systems, including, but not limited to, sales practices which are unfair, deceptive, misleading, irresponsible, discriminatory or which unfairly misleads or induces an unwilling customer to make a purchase.
The Registered Dealer is also solely responsible for the following:

Western Window Systems is not responsible for determining the suitability of any product for a particular project, design, application, climate, condition, use, or customer need or purpose. Western Window Systems is also not responsible for determining whether the incorporation of its products into a building design will achieve a particular third-party certification or standard as windows and doors are only one factor in the building envelope. Determining such product suitability is the responsibility of the architect, contractor, Registered Dealer, installer, owner, user, and/or other construction professionals. Western Window Systems will also not be responsible for any claims or damage arising from inappropriate selection of products, faulty building design or construction, improper installation, or inaccurate orders.

Registered Dealers, and their employees, agents, representatives, and subcontractors, operate as independent contractors and are not employees, agents, or representatives of Western Window Systems, nor are they in a partnership or joint venture with Western Window Systems. No right is given to the Registered Dealer to enter into any agreement, contract, or commitment in the name of or on behalf of Western Window Systems or to bind Western Window Systems in any respect whatsoever. Nothing contained herein or done in pursuance hereof, shall be deemed to authorize a Registered Dealer to act as the legal representatives of Western Window Systems for any purpose whatsoever.

All claims, disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, or the use of the Skye Walls Products, shall be submitted to arbitration in Phoenix, Arizona by a single arbitrator, mutually agreed to by the Parties. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for U.S. Sales, except that the Arizona Rules of Evidence shall apply.

In the event of any conflict between this provision and the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, this provision shall control. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any U.S. court having jurisdiction.

Western Window Systems’ failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such provision unless in a writing signed by Western Window Systems. Any such waiver shall apply only to the limited circumstance and limited time for which it was granted and shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of Western Window Systems’ right to strictly enforce any provision hereunder.
