Warranty
not designed or designated, or for defects caused by the use of paints, solvents or
other chemicals which come in contact with the lockset. THIS WARRANTY DOES
NOT COVER scratches or abrasions. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY to
locksets or component parts of locksets that were not originally manufactured by
Warrantor. THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO SUBSEQUENT OWNERS.
4. SERVICE AND REPAIR EXPENSE.
Under this Limited Warranty the Warrantor will provide only a replacement lockset or
a part of it. Warrantor will pay reasonable shipping costs for surface transportation
only for locksets returned to Warrantor’s Customer Service Department. Warrantor
will ship replacement parts under this Limited Warranty at its expense by surface
transportation only. Any special handling, express or expedited service or different
method of transportation shall only be provided at the request and expense of the
purchaser of the locksets. However, if warrantor determines that a lockset does not
qualify for repair or replacement under the applicable Limited Warranty, Warrantor
will notify the consumer of the estimated costs of repair or replacement and obtain
the consumer's authorization and agreement to pay actual repair or replacement
costs before proceeding with non-warranty repair or replacement. Warrantor shall
have no liability to pay any costs for repairs performed by anyone other than
Warrantor or its designee, unless in each instance Warrantor has given written
approval for such repair. Warrantor shall not be responsible for any costs incurred for
the removal or reinstallation of locksets covered by this Limited Warranty.

ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY NOT PROVIDED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, AND
ANY REMEDY FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT THAT, BUT FOR THIS PROVISION,
MIGHT ARISE BY IMPLICATION OR OPERATION OF LAW, IS EXCLUDED AND
DISCLAIMED. THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF
FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE
DURATION OF EACH EXPRESS WARRANTY PERIOD.
a. Should the locksets be considered a consumer product as may be covered by the
Magnusson-Moss Federal Warranty Act, please be advised that some states do not
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may
not apply to you.
