may generate negative air pressure in the room in which the appliance is installed. Additionally IHP assumes no responsibility for smoking conditions caused by inadequate 

chimney height, adjoining trees or buildings, adverse wind conditions or unusual environmental factors and conditions. Certain IHP Products are listed for use with Security 

Chimneys International, Ltd. chimney systems only. Use of chimney components other than that specified in the Product manual will void the Product warranty.

or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as specified herein.
In no event shall IHP be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in the Product, whether such damage occurs or is discovered before or after

Lifetime Warranty are in addition to and not a modification of or subtraction from any statutory warranties and other rights and remedies provided by law.
