waveform other than as specified on the rating label (e.g. 120V ~ 60 Hz). We
exclude all claims for special, incidental, and consequential damages caused
by breach of express or implied warranty. All liability is limited to the
amount of the purchase price. Every implied warranty, including any statutory
warranty or condition of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose,
is disclaimed except to the extent prohibited by law, in which case such
warranty or condition is limited to the duration of this written warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights.
You may have other legal rights that vary depending on where you live. Some
states or provinces do not allow limitations on implied warranties or special,
incidental, or consequential damages, so the foregoing limitations may not
apply to you.
