WMI’s responsibility is limited to making the required repairs and no claim of breach
of warranty shall be cause for cancellation or rescission of the contract of sale of any
WMI mower.
This Warranty does not apply to any mower that was delivered to an
Owner prior to the Pre-Delivery Service as specified in the Owner's Manual. This
Warranty does not apply to any mower that was shipped in a crate to the Owner
or delivered to the Owner by non-employees of an Authorized Dealer. For the Owner's
protection and a valid Warranty, please note: WMI does not permit Authorized
Dealers to make non-face-to-face deliveries of the mower and any who are found
doing so are subject to immediate cancellation as Authorized Dealers.
This Warranty
does not cover any mower that has been subject to misuse, neglect, negligence,
burning in any fire, an accident, or that has been operated or maintained in any way
contrary to the operating and maintenance instructions as specified in the Owner’s
Manual. The Warranty does not apply to any damage to the mower that is the result
of improper maintenance, or to any mower or parts that have not been assembled
or installed as specified in the Owner’s Manual. The Warranty does not cover any
mower that has been altered or modified changing performance or durability. In
addition, the Warranty does not extend to repairs made necessary by normal wear,
or by the use of parts or accessories which, in the reasonable judgment of WMI, are
either incompatible with the WMI mower or adversely affect its operation, performance
or durability.
WMI reserves the right to change or improve the design of any mower without
assuming any obligation to modify any mower previously manufactured.
All other implied warranties are limited in duration to the two (2) year warranty period
or ninety (90) days for mowers used for rental purposes. Accordingly, any such
implied warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or
otherwise, are disclaimed in their entirety after the expiration of the appropriate two
(2) year or ninety (90) day warranty period. WMI’s obligation under this Warranty
is strictly limited to the repair or replacement of defective parts and WMI does not
assume, or authorize anyone to assume for them, any other obligation. Some states
do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation
may not apply.
WMI assumes no responsibility for incidental, consequential or other damages
including, but not limited to, expense for gasoline, expense of delivering the mower
to an Authorized WMI Service Dealer and expense of returning it to the Owner,
damage by fire, mechanic’s travel time, telephone charges, rental of a like product
during the time warranty repairs are being performed, travel, loss or damage to
personal property, loss of revenue, loss of use of the power equipment, loss of time
or inconvenience. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply.
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.
This Warranty applies to all WMI mowers sold in the United States of America and
Canada.
