To the extent that applicable law prohibits the exclusion of implied warranties, the duration of any
applicable implied warranty is limited to the period specified for the express warranty above. Some

not apply to you. Any oral or written description of the Product is for the sole purpose of identifying
it and shall not be construed as an express warranty.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Limited Warranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to
be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision is held to be prohibited or invalid, such
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating

charge. You are responsible for all costs for removal, reinstallation and shipping, insurance or other

Company’s main facility and does not include the cost of field service travel and living expenses.
