authorized dealer) will comply with applicable specifications (as set
forth in the owner’s manual) in all material respects and will be free

5. INVALIDATION OF WARRANTY. This warranty is void if the product
is altered or repair is attempted or made by anyone other than Aspen or
its authorized service center.
6. WARRANTY CARD. The Return to Service Date must be included in
an accurately completed Aspen warranty application form submitted by

information and in accordance with all applicable FAA procedures and
requirements. The warranty application form must note the repairman’s

PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AS WELL AS ALL OTHER IMPLIED WARRANTIES
(STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) EXPIRE AT THE END OF THE WARRANTY
PERIOD PRESCRIBED IN SECTION 1.
Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts,
so the above limitation may not apply to you.
9. INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. ASPEN SHALL NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND
(INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS,
LOSS OF REVENUES, OR LOSS OF USE OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION),
EVEN IF ASPEN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OR CERTAINTY
OF THOSE DAMAGES OR IF ASPEN COULD HAVE REASONABLY
FORESEEN THOSE DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential
damages, so the preceding limitations may not apply to you.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. ASPEN’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY
HEREUNDER, WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), INDEMNITY, OR OTHERWISE, WILL
NOT EXCEED THE PRICE PAID BY YOU FOR THE WARRANTED PRODUCT.
THE EXCLUSIONS OF TYPES OF DAMAGES CONTAINED HEREIN WILL BE
DEEMED INDEPENDENT OF, AND WILL SURVIVE, ANY FAILURE OF THE
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY UNDER THE TERMS OF
ANY AGREEMENT.
