To the greatest extent permitted by law, and in addition to all other limitations and disclaimers, neither March nor its agents, shall be liable for Product damage or failure, personal or property injuries, or any other damage or loss arising out of a reaction, interaction or chemical effect that occurs between the materials of the Product’s construction and fluids or gasses that come into contact with the March Product’s components or the connections between March’s Product and the systems to which it is affixed or incorporated within.
March expressly disclaims any reliance by the customer on any information provided by March or its agents related to the Product’s compatibility with purchaser’s intended use for the Product. The purchaser is responsible for the selection of the materials used in the Product’s construction, so that they are compatible with the liquids that travel through the Product. The purchaser may consult March or a distributor to seek a recommendation for the materials used in the construction of the Product, so as to obtain the optimum available chemical compatibility; however, neither March nor the distributor shall be liable for Product damage or failure, personal injuries, property damage, or any other damages, whether special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, arising out of a reaction, interaction or any chemical effect that occurs between the materials used in the Product’s construction and the liquids that travel through the Product.
March Chemical Resistance Guides (“Chemical Resistance Guide”) are found at the following page: https://www.marchpump.com/resources/ The Chemical Resistance Guide is provided for informational purposes only. While this information contained in the Chemical Resistance Guide may be considered as a recommendation for use, it is not a guarantee for the Product’s performance or appropriateness for a given application. It is not a government standard. All materials should be tested under actual service conditions to determine if it is suitable for a particular purpose.
March cannot guarantee any chemical application. There are a multitude of variables that may have an adverse effect on the chemical compatibility with the Product, including but not limited to, chemical composition range, concentration range, temperature range, suction side pressure range, duty point range, environmental conditions range, air temperature range, as well as its compatibility with the system for which it will be attached or incorporated within.

To the extent that a spec sheet requires such a warranty, or other representations regarding the appropriateness, compatibility or suitability of use with any solid, fluid or gas, including but not limited to concentrations, interactions, temperature, force, flow, reaction with component parts of the Products or the systems to which it is affixed or incorporated within, that portion of the spec sheet shall be null and void.
(e) Assumption of Risk
To the greatest extent permitted under applicable laws, the purchaser assumes all risk and liability whatsoever in connection with such use and installation.
