defects during the Warranty Period and the Product is shipped
freight prepaid, Lake Shore will, at its option, either repair or
replace the Product if it is so defective without charge to the
owner for parts, service labor or associated customary return
shipping cost. Any such replacement for the Product may be

new in performance or may have been subject to incidental use.
4. The Warranty Period begins on the date of delivery of the
Product or later on the date of installation of the Product if the
Product is installed by Lake Shore, provided that if you schedule
or delay the Lake Shore installation for more than 30 days after
delivery the Warranty Period begins on the 31st day after
delivery.
5. This limited warranty does not apply to defects in the Product
resulting from (a) improper or inadequate maintenance, repair or

WARRANTY OR CONDITION, WHETHER WRITTEN OR
ORAL, IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. LAKE SHORE
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY
QUALITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT. Some countries, states
or provinces do not allow limitations on an implied warranty, so
the above limitation or exclusion might not apply to you. This
warranty gives you specific legal rights and you might also have
other rights that vary from country to country, state to state or
province to province.
7. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE
REMEDIES IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT ARE YOUR
SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES.

OTHER DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST DATA
OR DOWNTIME COSTS) ARISING OUT OF THE USE,
INABILITY TO USE OR RESULT OF USE OF THE PRODUCT,
WHETHER BASED IN WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT LAKE
SHORE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES. Your use of the Product is entirely at your
own risk. Some countries, states and provinces do not allow the
exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so
the above limitation may not apply to you.
