MODIFICATIONS DONE TO THE AIRCRAFT MAY AT THE DISCRETION OF PIPER AIRCRAFT VOID WARRANTY COVERAGE OF THE AFFECTED SYSTEMS OF THE AIRCRAFT. IN SOME CASES, DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE MODIFICATION, THE MODIFICATION MAY VOID THE ENTIRE LIMITED AIRCRAFT WARRANTY. When a non-Piper approved STC installation is incorporated on the airplane, those portions of the airplane affected by the installation must be inspected in accordance with the inspection program published by the owner of the STC. Since non-Piper approved STC installations may change systems interface, operating characteristics and component loads or stresses on adjacent structures, Piper provided inspection criteria may not be valid for airplanes with non-Piper approved STC installations. All inspection intervals, replacement time limits, overhaul time limits, the method of inspection, life limits, cycle limits, etc., recommended by Piper are solely based on the use of new, repaired, rebuilt, modified, overhauled in- service, or remanufactured Piper approved parts. If parts are designed, manufactured, remanufactured, overhauled and/or approved by entities other than Piper, then the data in Piper’s maintenance/service manuals and parts catalogs are no longer applicable and the purchaser is warned not to rely on such data for non-Piper parts. All inspection intervals, replacement time limits, overhaul time limits, the method of inspection, life limits, cycle limits, etc., for such non-Piper parts must be obtained from the manufacturer and/or seller of such non-Piper parts. For purposes of this Limited Warranty, “applicable instructions” shall include all manuals, bulletins, advisories, operating and maintenance instructions, customer service information, notices and similar information issued from time to time by Piper or applicable manufacturers and all airworthiness directives and other rules and regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Aviation Administration. NO OTHER WARRANTY, WHETHER OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR OTHERWISE, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED IN FACT OR BY LAW, IS GIVEN BY PIPER WITH RESPECT TO ANY AIRCRAFT, PART, COMPONENT, OR SERVICE, AND NO OTHER OR FURTHER OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY SHALL BE INCURRED BY PIPER BY REASON OF THE MANUFACTURE, SALE, LEASE OR USE OF ANY AIRCRAFT, PART, COMPONENT, OR SERVICE, WHETHER ON GROUNDS OF BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE. In the event that the provisions relieving Piper of liability for any reason are held ineffective, the remainder of this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect. The obligation of Piper set forth in Section 4 for obtaining warranty service shall be the exclusive remedy for any warranty obligation. IN NO EVENT SHALL PIPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY GENERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES RELATING TO PROPERTY DAMAGE OR ECONOMIC LOSS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF USE OR LOSS OF PROFITS. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment holding that the remedy provided for herein has failed of its essential purpose, Piper shall not in any event be liable for an amount in excess of the price paid for the allegedly defective Aircraft. No other person or entity (including any agent or employee of Piper) is authorized to extend any other or further warranty or incur any additional obligation on Piper’s behalf in connection with the sale of its products.
