and workmanship for the period of 90 days from the date of purchase. This warranty does not apply to 

damage due directly or indirectly, to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside 

our facilities, criminal activity, improper installation, normal wear and tear, or to lack of maintenance. We 

shall in no event be liable for death, injuries to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special 

or consequential damages arising from the use of our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or 

limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation of exclusion may not apply to

To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned to us with transportation 

charges prepaid. Proof of purchase date and an explanation of the complaint must accompany the mer-

chandise. If our inspection verifies the defect, we will either repair or replace the product at our election 

or we may elect to refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly provide you with a replace-

ment. We will return repaired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the 

defect resulted from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost of returning 

the product.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from 

state to state.
