The sole remedy for this warranty is that Vapotherm shall repair or, at its option, replace any

otherwise tampered with, or if repairs are attempted by anyone other than Vapotherm or a 
Vapotherm certified service center, or if the Product is operated by anyone other than trained and 
duly qualified medical personnel.
