DERBY LIMITED WARRANTY

IMPORTANT

This warranty shall apply ONLY if the warranty registration form has been completed and returned to Ferris Industries, Inc. within 20 days from the date of delivery.

Ferris Industries, Inc. (Ferris) warrants, in accordance with the provisions below, to the original purchaser for the period of twenty-four (24) months, twelve (12) months for com- mercial use, from the date of delivery of a Derby mower that the mower is free from defects in material or workmanship. Derby’s obligation under this warranty is to repair or replace, at Derby’s election, without charge and at the place of business of a dealer authorized to handle Derby mowers, any part or parts of the machine which, in the judg- ment of Derby, prove to be defective.

THIS WARRANTY AND DERBY’S OBLIGATION HEREUNDER IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FIT- NESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, and all other obligations or liabilities of Derby for incidental and consequential damages resulting from the design, manufacture, sale or use of the machine. No person is authorized to make any warranty or assume for Derby any liability not strictly in accordance with this warranty.

This warranty shall not apply to any mower part which, in the judgment of Derby, has been altered or tampered with in any way or has been subjected to misuse, neglect or accident, or has had the serial numbers altered, effaced or removed. This warranty does not apply to component parts not manufactured by Derby (motors, tires, belts) except to the extent of their individual manufacturer’s guarantees.

Ferris Industries, Inc. is continually striving to improve its products, and therefore reserves the right to make improvements or change when it becomes practical and possible to do so, without incurring any obligation to make changes or additions to the equipment sold previously.
