In some instances the goods are removed from the container and subjected to minor modifications by HESS, LLC to satisfy the Buyer’s requirements. Because of this position in the sale of goods of a manufacturer, HESS, LLC is unable and unwilling to assume the legal burdens placed upon it by language in a Buyer’s purchase order or other order form.

HESS, LLC will give reasonable notice to Buyer if it appears to HESS, LLC that delay in delivery will arise for any reason, and upon the giving of such notice all specified delivery dates may, at the election of HESS, LLC, be extended from time to time for an additional period or periods as may be reasonable. HESS LLC will use its best efforts in the ordinary course of its business to affect deliveries as specified, but in no event, shall HESS, LLC be liable for any damage, consequential or otherwise, arising from any failure of HESS, LLC to meet any delivery date.
