Disclaimer

Ariens Company may from time to time change the design of its products. Nothing contained in this warranty 
shall be construed as obligating Ariens to incorporate such design changes into previously manufactured 
products, nor shall such changes be construed as an admission that previous designs were defective.

LIMITATION OF REMEDY AND DAMAGES

Ariens Company’s liability under this warranty, and under any implied warranty that may exist, is limited to 
repair of any defect in workmanship, and repair or replacement of any defective part. Ariens shall not be 
liable for incidental, special, or consequential damages (including lost profits). Some states do not allow the 
exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

DISCLAIMER OF FURTHER WARRANTY

Ariens Company makes no warranty, express or implied, other than what is expressly made in this 
warranty. If the law of your state provides that an implied warranty of merchantability, or an implied 
warranty of fitness for particular purpose, or any other implied warranty, applies to Ariens Company, 
then any such implied warranty is limited to the duration of this warranty. Some states do not allow 
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which 

vary from area to area.
