COMMERCIAL BUYER. ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY APPLY INCLUDING THE DUTIES IMPOSED.
Ditch Witch products have been tested to deliver acceptable performance in most
conditions. This does not imply they will deliver acceptable performance in all
conditions. Therefore, to assure suitability, products should be operated under
anticipated working conditions prior to purchase.
This limited warranty applies to the owner of the product. Some states do not
allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so above
limitation of exclusion may not apply. Further, some states do not allow exclusion
of or limitation of how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may
not apply. This limited warranty gives owner specific legal rights and the owner
may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
