Some states in the U.S.A. do not allow limitations of how long an

implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion of incidental, indirect,

special or consequential damages, so the above limitation or

exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty provides specific

legal rights, and other rights may be available, but may vary from

state to state.
In Canada, legislation in some provinces provides for certain

additional warranties or remedies other than as stated herein,

and to the extent that they may not be waived, the limitations and

exclusions set out above may not apply. This Limited Warranty
