VIII.WARRANTY

All products manufactured by AMI are warranted to be free of defects in materials
and workmanship and to perform as specified for a period of one year from date of
shipment.  In the event of failure occurring during normal use, AMI, at its option,
will repair or replace all products or components that fail under warranty, and such
repair or replacement shall constitute a fulfillment of all AMI liabilities with respect
to its products. Since, however, AMI does not have control over the installation
conditions or the use to which its products are put, no warranty can be made of
fitness for a particular purpose, and AMI cannot be liable for special or
consequential damages.  All warranty repairs are F.O.B. Oak Ridge, Tennessee,
USA.

IX. RETURN AUTHORIZATION

Items to be returned to AMI for repair (warranty of otherwise) require a return
authorization number to ensure your order will receive proper attention.  Please call
an AMI representative at (615)482-1056 for a return authorization before shipping
any item back to the factory.
