7. Warranties
The Supplier warrants that all goods and services are new, conform to specifications, are free from defects in design, material, and workmanship, and are fit for their intended purpose. These warranties shall survive inspection, acceptance, and payment for a minimum period of twelve (12) months, unless otherwise stated in writing.
