Disclaimer

Ariens Company may from time to time change the design of its products. Nothing contained in this warranty 
shall be construed as obligating the Ariens Company to incorporate such design changes into previously 
manufactured products, nor shall such changes be construed as an admission that previous designs were 
defective.

LIMITATION OF REMEDY AND DAMAGES

Ariens Company's liability under this warranty, and under any implied warranty that may exist, is limited to 
repair of any defect in workmanship, and repair or replacement of any defective part. Ariens Company shall 
not be liable for incidental, special, or consequential damages (including lost profits). Some states do not 
allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not 
apply to you.

AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW

The following applies solely to warranties subject to Subsection 102(1) of the Australian Consumer Law:  Our 
goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded by the Australian Consumer Law.  You are entitled to a 
replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or 
damage.  You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable 
quality and failure does not amount to a major failure.

DISCLAIMER OF FURTHER WARRANTY

Ariens Company makes no warranty, express or implied, other than what is expressly made in this 
warranty. If the law of your state provides that an implied warranty of merchantability, or an implied 
warranty of fitness for particular purpose, or any other implied warranty, applies to Ariens Company, 
then any such implied warranty is limited to the duration of this warranty. Some states do not allow 
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from region to region.
