Warranty on the replacement appliance will expire twelve (12) months from the date of

of Instant Brands, if any, for any allegedly defective appliance or part will not exceed the

purchase price of a comparable replacement appliance.

• Products purchased, used, or operated outside of the United States and Canada.

• Products that have been modified or attempted to be modified.

• Damage resulting from accident, alteration, misuse, abuse, neglect, unreasonable

Some states or provinces do not allow for: (1) the exclusion of implied warranties of

merchantability or fitness; (2) limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts; and/or

warranties that are expressly required to be provided in accordance with applicable

law. The limitations of warranties, liability, and remedies apply to the maximum extent

permitted by law. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also

have other rights which vary from state to state or province to province.
