through MTD’s authorized channels of export distribu-
tion.

No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of

merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose,

applies after the applicable period of express written

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

vices, for transportation or for related expenses, or for

rental expenses to temporarily replace a warranted

product. (Some states do not allow the exclusion or limita-
tion 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 War-
ranty. You assume the risk and liability for loss, damage, or
injury to you and your property and/or to others and their
property arising out of the use or misuse or inability to use

whom it was purchased as a gift.

How State Law Relates to this Warranty: This limited
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
