to  you.  This  warranty  is  expressly  in  lieu

will either repair or replace the product at 

our election or we may elect to refund the 

purchase  price  if  we  cannot  readily  and 

quickly provide you with a replacement. We 

will return repaired products at our expense, 

but if we determine there is no defect, or that
