The obligations set forth in this warranty are conditional on:

a) proper storage, installation, calibration, use, maintenance and compliance with the product manual instructions and any other

applicable recommendations of BW;

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. BW SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR RELIANCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this warranty is
held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision.
