All such returns shall be by surface transportation and at Nortech Systems’s expense. In no event shall Nortech Systems be liable to Buyer for any incidental or consequential damages arising from any breach of this agreement or from any delay or default in delivering Product sold hereunder, regardless of cause, or from the failure of such Product to correspond in any manner to any description thereof or specification applicable thereto. Nortech Systems’ liability is limited to the invoice price of the alleged defective Product.
