Limited Warranty/Lionel Service

T

his Lionel product, including all mechanical and electrical components, moving parts, motors and
structural components, except for light bulbs, is warranted to the original consumer-purchaser, for 

one

year

against original defects in materials or workmanship when purchased through an authorized Lionel

merchant.

This warranty does NOT cover normal wear and tear, light bulbs, defects appearing in the course of

commercial use, or damage resulting from abuse or misuse of the product by the purchaser. Transfer of this
product by the original consumer-purchaser to another person voids this warranty. Modification of this
product voids this warranty.

Any warranted product which is defective in original materials or workmanship and is delivered by the

original consumer-purchaser to Lionel L.L.C. or an authorized Lionel L.L.C. Service Center, together with proof
of original purchase will, at the option of Lionel L.L.C., be repaired or replaced, without charge for parts or
labor. In the event the defective product cannot be repaired, and a replacement is not available, a refund of the
original purchase price will be granted. Any products on which warranty service is sought must be sent freight
or postage prepaid, as transportation and shipping charges are not covered by the warranty.

In no event shall Lionel L.L.C. be liable for incidental or consequential damages.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above

exclusion may not apply to you.

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state

to state.
