The foregoing shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser and the sole and exclusive liability of Brauer. 


THE WARRANTIES STATED IN THIS PARAGRAPH ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES (EXCEPT OF TITLE) WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PURPOSE.
