2. 

The limited warranty period commences on the date the product is sold to the original consumer purchaser. A copy of the original purchase 
receipt identifying purchaser and date of purchase, must accompany the product to obtain warranty repairs.  

3. 

This limited warranty does not apply to, and future warranty shall become void, for any product or part thereof damaged by; a) alteration,
