mercial use, neglect, accident, improper maintenance, alter-
ation, vandalism, theft, fire, water or damage because of

No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of

warranty above as to the parts as identified. No other
express warranty or guaranty, whether written or oral,
except as mentioned above, given by any person or
entity, including a dealer or retailer, with respect to any
product shall bind MTD. During the period of the War-
ranty, the exclusive remedy is repair or replacement of
the product as set forth above. (Some states do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the
above limitation may not apply to you.)
The provisions as set forth in this Warranty provide the
sole and exclusive remedy arising from the sales. MTD
shall not be liable for incidental or consequential loss or
damages including, without limitation, expenses
incurred for substitute or replacement lawn care ser-
vices, for transportation or for related expenses, or for
rental expenses to temporarily replace a warranted prod-
uct. (Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion
or limitation may not apply to you.)
In no event shall recovery of any kind be greater than the
amount of the purchase price of the product sold. Alteration
of the safety features of the product shall void this Warranty.
You assume the risk and liability for loss, damage, or injury to

the original purchaser, original lessee or the person for whom
it was purchased as a gift.

ranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
