GWM’s remedies and PPG’s liability with respect to these warranties are set forth below. These are the only representations or warranties PPG makes and all other express or implied warranties, under statute or arising otherwise in law from a course of dealing or usage of trade, including without limitation, any other warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or use, are disclaimed by PPG. If any Product fails to conform to the warranties herein, PPG’s exclusive obligation and GWM’s (or GWM’s affiliates’) exclusive remedy (subject to SECTIONS 12 and 17) shall be as set forth in Section 14. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in no event will PPG be liable under any theory of recovery (whether based on negligence of any kind, strict liability or tort) for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages in any way related to, arising from or resulting from any use made of the Product. Nothing in this Section 13 is intended as a limitation of indemnification obligations of PPG pursuant to Section 15, or the recall obligations of PPG under section 17.
14. REJECTION: GWM may reject Product delivered by PPG for failure to comply with the warranties in Section 13 by giving PPG written notice, upon which the Parties will cooperate to determine whether rejection was necessary or justified. PPG will notify GWM promptly as to whether it accepts GWM’s basis for any rejection. If the Parties disagree whether the Product batch did not comply with the warranties, they will submit a sample of such Product batch and applicable documentation to a mutually acceptable independent third party laboratory. Such third party laboratory shall determine whether such Product batch conforms with the warranties, and such determination shall be final, binding and determinative as to whether rejection of such Product batch was justified.

If the third party tester rules that a rejected batch meets the warranties, GWM will purchase such batch, irrespective of whether PPG has already replaced it. If PPG accepts GWM’s basis for rejection or the third party tester rules that a rejected batch did not meet the warranties, PPG will not charge GWM for such batch or for shipping, insurance or freight costs therefor, or shall promptly refund any such amounts already paid by GWM. At its election, GWM may ***, until and unless it is finally determined that the batch complied with the warranties in Section 13.
