Customer agrees to notify Kafka by certified mail of any change of ownership and further agrees to be liable for all goods and services provided by Kafka should Customer fail to obtain Kafka’s consent to such change.

XIV. JOINT AND SEVERAL
In the event that any Quotation or other agreement is executed by more than one person, the liabilities and obligations of the undersigned shall be joint and several and the relative words shall be read as if written in the plural.

XV. SECURITY AGREEMENT AND LIEN RIGHTS
As security for all obligations now and hereafter owing to Kafka, Customer hereby grants to Kafka a purchase money security interest in the goods Kafka has sold to Customer and a security interest in all of Customer’s inventory, fixtures, equipment, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and general intangibles of Customer. To the fullest extent allowable by law Kafka retains all lien rights and claims against property for supplying materials to the Customer. Customer shall by fully responsible for all payments and claims. If Customer is not the Owner or responsible party for liens, then Customer will, on behalf of Kafka, notify all necessary parties to comply with all requirements under the law to establish and maintain Kafka’s lien rights. Upon full payment Kafka will release all lien claims against Customer and the project.

NOTICE OF LIEN RIGHTS
AS REQUIRED BY THE WISCONSIN CONSTRUCTION LIEN LAW, Kafka HEREBY NOTIFIES CUSTOMER THAT PERSONS OR COMPANIES FURNISHING LABOR OR MATERIALS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION ON CUSTOMER’S LAND MAY HAVE LIEN RIGHTS ON CUSTOMER’S LAND AND BUILDINGS IF NOT PAID. THOSE ENTITLED TO LIEN RIGHTS, IN ADDITION TO THE UNDERSIGNED Kafka, ARE THOSE WHO CONTRACT DIRECTLY WITH THE CUSTOMER OR THOSE WHO GIVE THE CUSTOMER NOTICE WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER THEY FIRST FURNISH LABOR OR MATERIALS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION. ACCORDINGLY, CUSTOMER PROBABLY WILL RECEIVE NOTICES FROM THOSE WHO FURNISH LABOR OR MATERIALS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION, AND SHOULD GIVE A COPY OF EACH NOTICE RECEIVED TO HIS/HER LENDER, IF ANY. Kafka AGREES TO COOPERATE WITH THE CUSTOMER AND HIS/HER LENDER, IF ANY, TO SEE THAT ALL POTENTIAL LIEN CLAIMANTS ARE DULY PAID.

XVI. WARRANTY
Customer acknowledges that Customer has selected and ordered materials based on Customer’s own skill and judgment and agrees that Customer is responsible for ensuring that the materials selected are fit for Customer’s purpose. Kafka shall not be responsible for any selection made by Customer and will not have any liability to Customer for any loss, damages, costs or expenses suffered by Customer as a result thereof. Kafka warrants only that such goods have been produced in accordance with·Kafka’s standard practices with regard to materials and workmanship and no samples or prior description of materials shall constitute an express warranty. If materials are nonconforming, Kafka, at its option will either: (i) allow Customer to return the materials and receive a refund or (ii) repair or replace the materials. No materials are to be returned to Kafka without Kafka’s prior written consent. Kafka HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Kafka shall have no obligation under this warranty if damage occurs because of improper handling, installation, modification, abuse or misapplication by Customer or others.

XVII. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Kafka’s liability on any claim for loss or damage arising out of this transaction or from performance or breach thereof or connected with any materials or services supplied hereunder, or the sale, resale, operation or use of materials, whether based on breach of contract, warranty, tort (including but not limited to negligence, misrepresentation and strict liability) or other grounds, shall not exceed the price allocable to such materials or services or part thereof involved in the claim, regardless of cause or fault. Customer’s remedies are limited to the return of non-conforming materials and a refund of the price, or to the repair and replacement of non-conforming goods subject to the provisions of Paragraph XVI. This limitation of liability and remedies reflects a deliberate and bargained-for allocation of risks between Kafka and Customer and constitutes the basis of the parties’ bargain, without which Kafka would not have agreed to the price or terms of this transaction.

When Customer orders a product with stabilizing additives, Customer understands and acknowledges Kafka is only responsible for the crushing of Kafka aggregates and blending of the stabilizing additive with Kafka aggregates. Kafka does not manufacture these stabilizing additives. Kafka is not liable for any problems that may be associated with the performance of products containing stabilizing additives, how the product is used and/or installation problems that may occur with the final product. Kafka is not responsible for the products’ failure or any loss, damage, or injury related to the application, installation, maintenance or use of products containing stabilizing additives.

Customer further acknowledges and understands that stone is a natural material and color variations may occur. Customer is encouraged to request complimentary samples before ordering, as well as any complimentary test data that is available by KG. Additional testing is the responsibility of the Customer. Granite, marble and quartz are general classifications. The person signing below certifies he/she is authorized to act on behalf of Customer.

XVIII. WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
Kafka shall not under any circumstances be liable, whether as a result of breach of contract, warranty, tort (including but not limited to negligence, misrepresentation and strict liability) or other grounds for incidental, special or consequential damages including, but not limited to, loss of profits or revenue, loss of use of goods, materials, equipment or associated products, business interruption, cost of capital, cost of substitute materials, facilities or services, downtime costs, liquidated or delay damages, or claims of clients or customers of Customer for such damage.

XIX. INDEMNIFICATION
Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Kafka from and against all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, those related to injury or to death of Customer’s employees or others) arising from or connected with the possession, handling, incorporation into construction, or other use of the materials by Customer or others. Customer also agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Kafka from any patent or other intellectual property claims related to any Kafka materials made in accordance with designs or specifications of Customer or provided by Customer in relation to Customer’s project.

XX. CONSTRUCTION; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
This quote shall be deemed to have been entered into and consummated in the State of Wisconsin and shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the laws, without regard to the law of conflicts, of the State of Wisconsin. The Marathon County Circuit Court in the State of Wisconsin shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any dispute arising hereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the right to a jury trial is waived by all parties.

XXI. SEVERABILITY OF TERMS
If any portion or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be unenforceable or void under applicable law, such term or provision shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement, all of which terms shall remain fully enforceable.

I, (“we” in the event more than one person signs this Guarantee), for and in consideration of the extension of Credit by Kafka Granite, LLC or affiliated companies (“Kafka”) to the Applicant identified above, hereby personally guarantee, (jointly and severally if there is more than one guarantor), the full and prompt payment to Kafka of all indebtedness or other liability which Applicant at any time owes to Kafka, together with interest and all costs of collection, including costs of enforcing this Guarantee.

The undersigned hereby guarantees all indebtedness of the Applicant to Kafka and agrees to the credit terms and conditions, as they may be amended from time to time.
