1Opinion of the Court
SNEED, Circuit Judge:
This case presents the familiar question of the circumstances under which a seller in a commercial sale can limit its liability through contractual exclusions of warranty and remedy.
The district court found that the contract involved here was effective in excluding the buyer’s recovery of consequential damages and granted summary or final judgment for defendant Smith International, Inc., on all claims. Our jurisdiction is based on 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 1294. For reasons set out hereafter we affirm.
