addition to or in substitution for those provided in this Article and may limit or alter the measure of damages recoverable under this Article, as by limiting the buyer‘s remedies to return of the goods and repayment of the price or to repair and replacement of non-conforming goods or parts; and
        (b) resort to a remedy as provided is optional unless
    
the remedy is expressly agreed to be exclusive, in which case it is the sole remedy.
    (2) Where circumstances cause an exclusive or limited remedy to fail of its essential purpose, remedy may be had as provided in this Act.
