Disclaimer

shall not be liable for incidental, special, or consequential damages (including lost profits). Some states

AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW

The following applies solely to warranties subject to Subsection 102(1) of the Australian Consumer Law:

foreseeable loss or damage.  You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail 

to be of acceptable quality and failure does not amount to a major failure.

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

apply to you.
