NO OTHER WARRANTIES
This warranty gives the Owner specific legal rights. The Owner may
also have other rights that vary from state to state. Some states do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages so this limitation or exclusion may not apply to the Owner.

manufactured and sold by HTP. HTP neither assumes nor authorizes
anyone to assume for it any other obligation or liability in connection
with said storage tanks.
HTP reserves the right to change specifications or discontinue
