	OTHER WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW,
	STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A

	Some countries, states, or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or the limitation of
	incidental or consequential damages for certain products supplied to consumers or the limitation for personal injury, so the
	above limitations and exclusions may be limited in their application to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights
	which may vary depending on local law.
GOVERNING LAW	This Limited Warranty shall be governed by the laws of the state of California.
