the possibility of such damages. Such excluded damages include, but are not limited to, loss of goodwill, loss of profits,

if product is altered or modified from its original condition as installed or as delivered at or from the factory

than in accordance with Level-Rite™ instructions, careless or negligent use, or failure to maintain the product as
recommended by the Level-Rite™ owner's manual.
•
if Rite-Hite

or the Level-Rite™ Representative is not notified of the defect and such notification failure creates
additional component or product stress which compounds the cost for defect correction.

if the product is moved and reinstalled from its original installation point without advising Rite-Hite
