ITEMS EXCLUDED FROM THIS CROWN WARRANTY

This Crown Warranty is in effect only for failure of a new Crown product
which occurred within the Warranty Period. It does not cover any prod­uct which has been damaged because of any intentional misuse, acci­dent, negligence, or loss which is covered under any of your insurance
contracts. This Crown Warranty also does not extend to the new Crown
product if the serial number has been defaced, altered, or removed.

We will remedy any defect, regardless of the reason for failure (except
as excluded), by repair, replacement, or refund. We may not elect re­fund unless you agree, or unless we are unable to provide replacement,
and repair is not practical or cannot be timely made. If a refund is elected,
then you must make the defective or malfunctioning product available to
us free and clear of all liens or other encumbrances. The refund will be
equal to the actual purchase price, not including interest, insurance,
closing costs, and other finance charges less a reasonable deprecia­tion on the product from the date of original purchase. Warranty work
can only be performed at our authorized service centers. We will rem­edy the defect and ship the product from the service center within a
reasonable time after receipt of the defective product at our authorized
service center.

You must notify us of your need for warranty service not later than ninety
(90) days after expiration of the warranty period. All components must
be shipped in a factory pack. Corrective action will be taken within a
reasonable time of the date of receipt of the defective product by our
authorized service center. If the repairs made by our authorized service
center are not satisfactory, notify our authorized service center immedi­ately.

DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL

YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM US ANY INCIDEN­TAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN THE NEW
CROWN PRODUCT. THIS INCLUDES ANY DAMAGE TO ANOTHER
PRODUCT OR PRODUCTS RESULTING FROM SUCH A DEFECT.

No person has the authority to enlarge, amend, or modify this Crown
Warranty. This Crown Warranty is not extended by the length of time
which you are deprived of the use of the new Crown product. Repairs
and replacement parts provided under the terms of this Crown War­ranty shall carry only the unexpired portion of this Crown Warranty.

We reserve the right to change the design of any product from time to
time without notice and with no obligation to make corresponding
changes in products previously manufactured.

No action to enforce this Crown Warranty shall be commenced later
than ninety (90) days after expiration of the warranty period.
