TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THE DURATION OF ANY APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE PERIOD SPECIFIED FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY.

Any oral or written description of the Fan is for the sole purpose of identifying it and shall not be construed as an express warranty.

REMEDY: During the applicable limited warranty period, NuTone will, at its option, provide replacement parts for, or repair or replace, without charge, any Fan or part thereof, to the extent NuTone finds it to be covered by and in breach of this limited warranty.
