Some countries, states, or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or the
limitation of incidental or consequential damages for certain products supplied to consumers, or the limitation of
liability for death or personal injury, so the above limitations and exclusions may be limited in their application to
you. When the implied warranties are not allowed to be excluded in their entirety, they will be limited to the
duration of the applicable written warranty. This warranty gives you specific legal rights which may vary
depending on local law.
