not apply to damage due directly or indirectly, to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations

injuries to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or consequential damages arising from
the use of our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential

from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost of returning the product.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.
