- DELIVERY: LIV shall use its best efforts in the ordinary course of business to affect deliveries to Buyer as specified. In no event shall LIV be liable for any damages, consequential, incidental, liquidated or otherwise, arising from LIV’s failure to meet any delivery date. Delays at Buyer’s request or due to Buyer’s failure may result in storage fees.
- PARTIAL SHIPMENT: As products and/or parts ordered by Buyer become available, LIV may make partial shipments and each shipment shall be invoiced separately. Partial shipments shall not relieve Buyer from its obligation to accept shipment of the remainder of the order.
- RISK OF LOSS: Title and risk of loss of the products and/or parts passes to Buyer at the time the products and/or parts leave LIV’s designated distribution center or warehouse. The F.O.B. point is LIV’s designated distribution center, or warehouse unless otherwise specified.

Buyer agrees to pay any attorney’s fees and costs incurred by LIV in enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Buyer is responsible for all applicable sales, use and/ or excise taxes for the purchase of products, parts and/or services.
