c. LIMITATION OF OBLIGATION. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract (i) Seller shall not be bound to continue performance, incur costs or obligations or take any other action in connection with this contract, including without limitation any changes thereto pursuant to the "Changes" clause, which would cause the total amount which for any reason Buyer would otherwise be obligated to pay Seller to exceed the sum allotted then set forth in this contract; and (ii) Buyer shall not be obligated to pay Seller for any costs or obligations incurred or any other actions taken by Seller in connection with this contract, including without limitations any changes thereto pursuant to the "Changes" clause, in any amount in excess of the sum allotted then set forth in this contract.

If any inspection or test is made by the Government on the premises of Seller or Seller's subcontractors, Seller shall provide and shall require its subcontractors to provide all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of the Buyer and Government inspectors in the performance of their duties. All inspections and tests by the Buyer and the Government shall be performed in such a manner as will not unduly delay the work.

Seller shall include the substance of this provision in all subcontracts issued hereunder. (b) Buyer acceptance of Goods shall be subject to Buyer's final receiving inspection within a reasonable time after receipt at destination, notwithstanding any payment or prior test or inspection.
