maintenance. We shall in no event be liable for death,
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 damages, so the
above limitation of exclusion may not apply to you. THIS

To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must
be returned to us with transportation charges prepaid. Proof

accompany the merchandise. If our inspection verifies the
defect, we will either repair or replace the product at our
election or we may elect to refund the purchase price if we
cannot readily and quickly provide you with a replacement.
We will return repaired products at our expense, but if we
determine there is no defect, or that the defect resulted
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.
