which starts with the date of original purchase (“warranty period”), at its option either (a)
repair your product with new or refurbished parts, or (b) replace it with a new or a refurbished
product. The decision to repair or replace will be made by the warrantor.

During the “Labor” warranty period there will be no charge for labor. During the “Parts” war-
ranty period, there will be no charge for parts.  You must carry-in or mail-in your product dur-

This warranty only applies to products purchased and serviced in the United States or Puerto
Rico. This warranty is extended only to the original purchaser of a new product which was not
sold “as is”. A purchase receipt or other proof of the original purchase date is required for war-
ranty service.

This warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or workmanship, and DOES
NOT COVER normal wear and tear or cosmetic damage. The warranty ALSO DOES NOT
COVER damages which occurred in shipment, or failures which are caused by products not
supplied by the warrantor, or failures which result from accidents, misuse, abuse, neglect,
