9. Warning; Buyer’s Duty to Warn; Indemnification of Seller. Compressed gas equipment is dangerous and poses a risk of explosion, fire, suffocation, poisoning, extreme temperature, crushing and related injuries. Misuse, using the wrong equipment, or using equipment under unsafe conditions can result in bodily injury, and/or death. Buyer alone is responsible for determining what equipment to use.

Buyer further acknowledges that Buyer has a duty to warn end-users about dangers inherent in filling and using high-pressure gas cylinders, including a duty to warn end-users about dangers related to filling cylinders with certain gases (including those designated as hazardous substances), and that Seller has no such duty. Buyer will be solely responsible for, and assumes all obligations for and liability associated with, determining the use of Goods and the foreseeable maintenance and refilling risks, as well as affixing to Goods all appropriate warning labels, including those warning labels required by law and any appropriate Product Warnings. Buyer will defend, indemnify and hold Seller
harmless against all claims and losses arising out of or related to (i) failure or alleged failure to provide or affix warning labels, including Product Warnings, on Goods, (ii) any deficiencies in warning labels provided or affixed to Goods, or (iii) Seller’s act of providing or/and affixing warning labels to Goods in accordance with Buyer’s specifications, including causes of action in negligence, tort, product liability, strict liability or warranty.
