If any such Work shall be found by Conrex not to be in conformity with the applicable specifications then Conrex will, at its discretion, replace such material at the original point of delivery, or repair such material. In the case of faulty parts, Conrex’s obligation shall arise only if the defect develops under normal and proper use within 90 days after date of shipment.
