The WMI mower, including any defective part, must be returned to an Authorized WMI
Service Dealer within the warranty period. The expense of lost production time and
delivering the mower to the Authorized WMI Service Dealer for warranty work and the
expense of returning it to the Owner after repair will be paid for by the Owner. 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 for 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.
