This limited warranty applies to repair and/or replacement of defective parts caused by faulty material or
workmanship in manufacture. It does not apply to defects caused by negligence or normal wear.
THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES
. Neither Tecumseh nor any of its affiliates makes any warranties,
representations, or promises, written or oral, as to the quality of the engine or any of its parts, other than as set forth herein.
ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY
OF MARKETABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO THE EXTENT THAT EITHER MAY APPLY TO ANY
TECUMSEH ENGINE OR PART(S) THEREOF, SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE PERIODS OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SHOWN IN
THE WARRANTY PERIOD CHART ABOVE AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUDED.
IN NO EVENT WILL TECUMSEH BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES AND/OR
EXPENSES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY LOSS OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OF UNIT USE OR ANY COST OR EXPENSE OF
SUBSTITUTE UNITS DURING PERIODS OF MALFUNCTION OR NON-USE.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not apply to you. This Limited
Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights which vary from state-to-state.
Tecumseh neither assumes nor authorizes any other person, natural or corporate, to assume for Tecumseh any other obligations or liabilities in
connection with or with respect to any Tecumseh product or parts. The seller or dealer of a Tecumseh product or part has no authority, whatsoever, to
make any representations or promises on behalf of Tecumseh or to modify the terms or limitations of Tecumseh's warranty in any way.
