ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY IMPOSED ON THE SALE OF THE WATER HEATER UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF SALE ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO ONE YEAR FROM DATE OF ORIGINAL INSTALLATION.

HOW DOES STATE LAW RELATE TO THE WARRANTY?

Some states do not allow:

1. Limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts.
2. Limitations on incidental or consequential damages.

So the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Restrictions are not applicable to implied warranties in California. See “Special State Provisions” on reverse side.
