WMH Tool Group Warranty

WMH Tool Group makes every effort to assure that its products meet high quality and durability standards and
warrants to the original retail consumer/purchaser of our products that each product be free from defects in
materials and workmanship as follows: 1 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON ALL PRODUCTS UNLESS
SPECIFIED OTHERWISE. This Warranty does not apply to defects due directly or indirectly to misuse,
abuse, negligence or accidents, normal wear-and-tear, repair or alterations outside our facilities, or to a lack
of maintenance.

      WMH TOOL GROUP LIMITS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES TO THE PERIOD SPECIFIED ABOVE,
BEGINNING FROM THE DATE THE PRODUCT WAS PURCHASED AT RETAIL. EXCEPT AS STATED
HEREIN, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS ARE EXCLUDED. SOME
STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG THE IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE
ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL WMH TOOL GROUP BE LIABLE
FOR DEATH, INJURIES TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, OR FOR INCIDENTAL, CONTINGENT, SPECIAL,

NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO
THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned for examination, postage prepaid, to
an Authorized Repair Station designated by our office. Proof of purchase date and an explanation of the
complaint must accompany the merchandise. If our inspection discloses a defect, we will either repair or
replace the product at our discretion, or refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly provide a
repair or replacement. We will return the repaired product or replacement at WMH Tool Group’s expense, but
if it is determined there is no defect, or that the defect resulted from causes not within the scope of WMH Tool
Group’s warranty, then the user must bear the cost of storing and returning the product. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights; you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
