warranty of any kind or nature is made by StoneAge beyond
those expressly stated herein.
1.
LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD.
Subject to the limitations
and conditions hereinafter set forth, StoneAge warrants its
Product to be free from defects in workmanship and material for
a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase by the End-
User, provided that the end of the limited warranty period shall
not be later than eighteen (18) months from the date of shipment
of the Product to the Dealer or the End-User by StoneAge
(“Limited Warranty Period”). All replacement parts which are
furnished under this Limited Warranty and properly installed
shall be warranted to the same extent as the original Product
under this Limited Warranty if, and only if, the original parts were
found to be defective within the original Limited Warranty Period
covering the original Product. Replacement parts are warranted
for the remainder of the original Limited Warranty Period. This
Limited Warranty does not cover any component part of any

part is subject exclusively to the component manufacturer’s
warranty terms and conditions.

LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE.

reserves the right to examine the alleged defective Product
to determine whether this Limited Warranty is applicable, and
final determination of limited warranty coverage lies solely
with StoneAge. No statement or recommendation made by
a StoneAge representative, Dealer or agent to End-User shall
constitute a warranty by StoneAge or a waiver or modification to
any of the provisions hereof or create any liability for StoneAge.

make the same improvements during warranty service to any
Product previously manufactured.
