WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
To the extent that applicable law prohibits the exclusion of implied warranties, the duration of any
applicable implied warranty is limited to the period specified for the express warranty above. Some
states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not
apply to you. Any oral or written description of the Product is for the sole purpose of identifying it and
shall not be construed as an express warranty.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Limited Warranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to
be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision is held to be prohibited or invalid, such
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the other remaining provisions of the Limited Warranty.

During the applicable limited warranty period, the Company will, at its option, provide
replacement parts for, or repair or replace, without charge, any Product or part thereof, to the extent
the Company finds it to be covered by and in breach of this limited warranty under normal use and
service. The Company will ship the repaired or replaced Product or replacement parts to you at no
charge. You are responsible for all costs for removal, reinstallation and shipping, insurance or other
freight charges incurred in the shipment of the Product or part to the Company. If you must send the
