No warranty claim can be substantiated without The FNA group. The FNA Group will not pay or reimburse any shipping and/or transportation charges for any warrantable product(s) or part(s) to be sent to an authorized service center, or back to the purchaser from the service center. All shipping and/or transportation charges are the sole responsibility of the product owner. To locate the authorized service center nearest to you, contact customer support at 1-877-362-4271 or email [e-mail].

Under these warranty terms, the FNA Group is limited to repairing or replacing defective parts and assumes no other obligation, nor does the FNA Group allow or authorize anyone else to assume them for any other obligations. Because the FNA Group's responsibility in respect to any and all warranty claims is limited to making the required repairs or replacements. No claim of breach of warranty shall be cause for cancellation or rescission of the contract of sale of any product manufactured by the FNA Group.

This warranty does not cover any product manufactured by the FNA Group that has been subject to abuse, misuse, neglect, negligence, accident, the effects of corrosion or erosion, or damage caused by use that is in any way contrary to the operating instructions as specified in this manual. This warranty also does not apply to any product damaged as the result of improper maintenance, the use of parts not compatible with the product, or to any product that has been altered or modified from stock in any way.

In addition, this warranty does not extend to repairs made necessary by normal wear, routine maintenance or any related parts such as tune-ups, spark plugs, carburetor adjustments, ignition adjustments, filters, oil changes, recoil starter ropes, electric motor brushes, cotter pins, wheels, gaskets, valves, pistons or any other parts considered to be wear items.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state. This warranty applies to a product manufactured by the FNA Group that is sold in the United States and Canada.

Warranty Limitations:

The foregoing warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties whether written, oral, expressed, or implied. There are no warranties of merchantability or fitness of any product for a particular purpose. The FNA Group's only liability shall be the repair or replacement of parts as stated above. In no event shall the FNA Group be responsible for any losses or damages that are indirect, consequential, punitive, special, exemplary, or for economic loss, lost revenues, lost profits, or lost business opportunities, regardless of whether such liability is based on breach of contract, tort, strict liability, breach of warranties, failure of essential purpose or otherwise, or is a direct result of the FNA Group's own actions or inactions. Because some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, the above limitation may not apply to you.

The FNA Group assumes no responsibility for incidental, consequential, or other damages including,

but not limited to, expenses related to transporting the product to or from an authorized service, a mechanic's travel time, any telephone or telegram charges, the rental of a like product while the warranty service is being performed, any other travel time or expenses, loss or damage to personal property, loss of revenue, loss of use of the product, loss of time, or any other inconvenience. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

If you have any questions regarding this warranty or the rights and obligations it describes, please contact customer support at 1-877-362-4271 or email [e-mail].
