THERE ARE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED 

TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A 

PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  NO WARRANTY APPLIES AFTER THE APPLICABLE 

WARRANTY PERIOD AS SET FORTH ABOVE AS TO THE PARTS AS 

IDENTIFIED.  NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY OR GUARANTY, WHETHER

PERSON OR ENTITY, INCLUDING A DEALER OR RETAILER, WITH RESPECT 

TO ANY PRODUCT SHALL BIND TROY-BILT LLC.  DURING THE WARRANTY 

PERIOD, THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE
