Legal Rights May Vary By State or Jurisdiction

The Original and Extended Warranties give You specific legal rights, 
and You may also have other rights which vary by state or jurisdiction.  
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of implied 
warranties or of incidental or consequential damages or other remedies, 
so certain of the foregoing limitations may not apply to You.
If any portion of the Original Warranty or Extended Warranty is held by 
a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of such 
warranties shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be 
affected or invalidated, and the invalid or unenforceable portion shall be 
modified so as to most nearly achieve the intent of the Original Warranty 
or Extended Warranty.
