proper installation. Travel, transportation and incidental costs associated with warranty re-
pair are not reimbursable under this warranty and are the responsibility of the owner.

limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation on implied warran-
ties, or exclusion or limitation on damages may not apply to you.
