comparable value and function.  
 

This warranty shall be void and of no force of effect in the event a covered product has been modified in design or function, or 

subjected to abuse, misuse, mishandling or unauthorized repair. Further, product malfunction or deterioration due to normal wear is

PURCHASE.  
 
Some  states  do  not  allow  the  exclusion  or  limitation  of  incidental  or  consequential  damages  or  limitation  on  how  long  an  implied 
warranty lasts, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.  
 
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
