equal to the purchase price paid for the product, or credit to be used toward the purchase of a replacement Malone
product.

This warranty does not cover, and no warranty is given for defects or problems caused by normal wear and tear which
includes but is not limited to surface (aesthetic) metal corrosion, scratches, dents, deformities, accidents, unlawful
vehicle operation, or any modication of a product not performed or authorized in writing by Malone.

In addition, this warranty does not cover problems resulting from conditions beyond Malone’s control including, but not
limited to, theft, misuse, overloading, or failure to assemble, mount or use the product in accordance with Malone’s
written instructions or guidelines included with the product available to the original retail purchaser.
