warrantor”) will, for the length of the period indicated on the chart below, which starts with the date 

of original purchase (“Limited Warranty period”), at its option either (a) repair your product with new

replace will be made by the warrantor.

During the “Labor” Limited Warranty period there will be no charge for labor. During the “Parts” 

warranty period, there will be no charge for parts. You must mail-in your product during the warranty

Warranty is extended only to the original purchaser and only covers product purchased as new. A

misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, set-up adjustments, misadjustment of consumer controls, 

improper maintenance, power line surge, lightning damage, modification, or commercial use (such as

MERCHANTABILITY, ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY.

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