   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City   
[PUBLISHED] Loken, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Gruender, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Warranties. Without expert testimony plaintiff could not establish that on-going problems with a waste water disinfecting system were caused by equipment defects that breached the express warranty for the system; further, plaintiff could not justify its decision to reject the company's offer to repair and replace, the exclusive remedy provided in the warranty, and request a refund of the purchase price without such expert testimony; as the district court properly granted the manufacturer summary judgment on plaintiff's claim of defective work, plaintiff could not recover under a performance and maintenance bond issued by Travelers; under the provisions of the bond plaintiff could not unilaterally reject the equipment years after completion without showing through expert testimony some kind of defect.
