without charge.

tear:

CIFIC PURPOSE,” AFTER THE ONE YEAR TERM OF

may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

incidental or consequential damages, so the above limi-
tation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some states do
not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts,
so the above limitation may not apply to you.
