in accordance with the installation and operating instructions furnished with the Fireplace.  All adjustments to logs, coals   or burner must be made by an autho-
rized Mendota Service person.  
 
This limited warranty does not cover the cost of service calls, the cost of labor to remove or install parts covered by this limited warranty, freight or other trans-
portation expenses that may be incurred in connection with obtaining performances under this limited warranty.  The remedy for damages as the result of any 
defects in this product which have been warranted herein is limited to replacement parts and does not include any incidental, indirect or consequential damages or 
expenses sustained in connection with the products, including damages to property, except as provided by law. 
 
2) This warranty is non-transferable and is made to the original retail purchaser, provided the purchase was made through an authorized Mendota  dealer. 
 
Mendota is not responsible for any damage to or malfunction of the Insert unless caused by a defect in material or workmanship from normal home use.  Damage 
caused by abuse, improper installation or operation, installation by unqualified personnel or breach of the conditions of this limited warranty will excuse Mendota

3) Mendota may at its discretion, fully discharge all obligations of this warranty by refunding the wholesale price of the defective part(s). 
4) All other warranties - expressed or implied - with respect to the product, its components and accessories, or any obligation/liabilities on the part of the company 
are hereby expressly excluded.  Products made by other manufacturers, sold with the Fireplace or thereafter, are not covered by this limited warranty.  The use of 
unauthorized components will make this warranty null and void.

products. 
Some states do not allow the exclusions of limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above 
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.  This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
