Nuvation will review the Product units for any verifiable deviation and upon verification of the non-conformance, Nuvation, at its sole option, will either repair or replace any component of the non-conforming Product units which Nuvation, in in sole and exclusive discretion, is able to verify non-conformance.

Buyer will be responsible for the aforementioned expenses in the event Nuvation is unable to verify the non-conformance. Buyers are responsible for shipping costs outside North America.
