whether expressed, implied or statutory, including but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability, 
fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement, and b) any and all obligations and liabilities of Pakedge for 
damages including but not limited to incidental, consequential or special damages, or any financial loss, lost 
profits or expense, or loss of network connection arising out of or in connection with the purchase, use or 
performance of the Product, even if Pakedge has been advised of the possibility of such damages. 
CAUTION: DAMAGE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR SETUP 
IS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THIS WARRRANTY.  IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT

limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of 
incidental or consequential damages.  In this case, the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.  This 
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
