OF LONGER THAN ONE YEAR IN NO WAY NEGATES OR DIMINISHES THE

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR FOR PROVIDING WARRANTY OF THOSE

COMPONENTS OR SUBSYSTEMS FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR AFTER THE DATE OF

FINAL ACCEPTANCE. There shall be single contractor accountability to prevent confusion of responsibility if a problem or breakdown occurs.

DEPOT ACCESS:
