the colorfastness of wood or against peeling, chipping, cracking or scratching. Note: Unfinished wood is subject to warping; all wood

any third party repair facility must be pre-approved before providing parts free of charge. This limited warranty does not cover damage due

or labor trouble, strikes, lockouts, delay of carrier, unauthorized repair, or any other cause beyond the control of the Seller, whether similar 

or dissimilar to the foregoing. Seller is not responsible for any damages caused to Purchaser's property resulting from the good. This limited 

warranty applies only inside the Continental US (Alaska, Puerto Rico and Hawaii are not warranted.).  

 

For Non-New Units (Scratch & Dent/Refurbished/Floor Models), warranty for compressor units is 90 days from your dated invoice and 30

Seller is not responsible for incidental or consequential damages, and there are no warranties, expressed or implied, which extend beyond 

the Limited Warranty described above. Warranty and liability are non-transferable. The implied warranties of merchantability and of fitness 

for a particular purpose are hereby expressly disclaimed. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, or 

a waiver of the implied warranties of fitness and/or merchantability, so the above limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you 

specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Seller disclaims any indemnification for claims of 

infringement of any intellectual property of protectable nature. In the event of any dispute between Seller and Purchaser arising out of or

terms are subject to California law. Any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these terms and conditions or to the goods sold 

generally shall be brought solely and exclusively in the County of Los Angeles. In no event may Purchaser initiate any legal proceeding 

more than six months after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the dispute.
