replacement as provided herein. Implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to one year on the appliance and for as long as used
on the storage bins, or the shortest period allowed by law. Seller shall not be liable for incidental
or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, or limitation on the duration of implied warranties of merchantability or
fitness, so these exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.

state to state.
