Any such failure to make payment at the time provided shall be a bar to any claim by Buyer against MET for any delay in completion of the work due to such suspension arising out of such failure to pay. Waiver of any default hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of any other or subsequent default.

  • BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT MET HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN RELIANCE UPON THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 15, THAT THE SAME REFLECTS AN ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN BUYER AND MET, AND THAT THE SAME FORMS AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
16. INDEMNIFICATION AND WAIVER
  • Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless MET against all losses, claims, damages, or liabilities arising out of or based upon bodily injury (including death at any time resulting therefrom) occurring prior to completion of the Installation Site activity under this Agreement, when proximately caused by the negligence of Buyer or its employees or agents.
