adequately use the building elevator to lift the goods to an upper floor. Any claim for damages incurred during
shipment by the carrier of the goods are insured and handled directly with the carrier. Any damages due to
manufacture defects will be handled directly with Vinotemp International, subject to the limited warranty.
All sales are final, and unless authorized in writing by the Seller, Purchaser may not return the goods, under any
