due to abuse, misuse, accident, or unauthorized alteration or 
repairs.

THE WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES CONTAINED 

HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER

THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS,

DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR 
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE  
LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
