copies available upon request). Warrantor does not separately warrant such items. Com-
ponents or equipment manufactured by third parties are not covered by this warranty.
Warrantor, however, will provide reasonable assistance to the Purchaser to make claims
against any warranties applicable to such component parts as provided by such original
equipment manufacturers. Components or equipment manufactured by third parties are
not covered by this Warranty.

rantor’s principal place of business without cost to the Purchaser if such defect exists.
The determination of whether a product is defective shall be made by Warrantor in War-
rantor’s sole and subjective discretion. The Purchaser must notify Warrantor prior to ship-
ping any defective part. Warrantor, at its sole discretion, may cover expenses incurred in
shipping the defective part to Warrantor for evaluation; provided, however, that Warrantor
will not be responsible for labor, travel time, mileage, removal, installation, and/or inciden-
tal or consequential damages. However, any part in excess of 140 pounds must be
returned by the Purchaser to the Warrantor’s nearest authorized facility at the Pur-
chaser’s expense, if return is requested by Warrantor. Warrantor shall have a reasonable
time within which to repair or replace the defective part. If Warrantor determines that the
product is not defective under the terms of this warranty in Warrantor’s sole and subjec-
tive discretion, then Purchaser shall be responsible for any expenses incurred by Warran-
tor in returning the equipment to the Purchaser.

TOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND/OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING AND

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT AND TITLE. No rep-
resentation or other affirmation of fact by representatives of Warrantor, whether verbal or
in writing, including photographs, brochures, samples, models, or other sales aids, shall
constitute a warranty, or any other basis, for any legal action against Warrantor. There are
no other representations, promises, agreements, covenants, warranties, guarantees, stip-
ulations or conditions, expressed or implied, by Warrantor, except as expressly set forth
herein. THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER AND ANY INTENDED USER OR BENEFICIARY

DESIGN CHANGES
Warrantor reserves the right to change the design of its products from time to time without
notice and without obligation to make corresponding changes in or to its products previ-
ously manufactured.
RIGHTS OF PURCHASERS
The validity and effect of this limited warranty, as well as its interpretation, operation and
effect, shall be determined exclusively by the principles of law and equity of the State of
Indiana, USA. This limited warranty gives Purchaser specific legal rights. Purchaser may
also have other rights, which may vary from state to state. Some states may not allow lim-
itations as to the duration of implied warranties or to the exclusion or limitation of inciden-
tal or consequential damages, therefore some of the limitations and exclusions detailed
set forth above may not apply. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this
warranty shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this warranty shall not be
affected thereby.
INTERPRETATIONS
This Warranty constitutes the entire warranty agreement between Warrantor and Purchaser and
supersedes any prior understandings or agreements pertaining to the same subject matter. This
warranty cannot be amended, except in writing, which refers to this warranty that is signed by both
Warrantor and Purchaser.
