This is the only warranty given by Zodiac. No one is authorized to make any other warranties on behalf
of Zodiac. IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO
THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES LISTED ABOVE. Some states and/or provinces do not allow limita-
tions on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Zodiac
expressly disclaims and excludes any liability for consequential, incidental, indirect, or punitive dam-
ages for breach of any expressed or implied warranty. In no event shall Zodiac be liable for incidental
or consequential damages of any nature, including damage to vinyl liners, plaster, aggregate-based
pool surfaces, tile, stone, coping, fi xtures, skimmers or skimmer covers, plumbing, drains, equipment
covers or shelters, landscaping, animals, plants, or dwellings. Some states and/or provinces do not al-
low the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not
apply to you. Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear or pattern re-
moval caused by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys,
fl oats, fountains, chlorine dispensers, and automatic pool cleaners. Some vinyl liner patterns can be
seriously scratched or abraded by rubbing the surface with a pool brush. Ink from the pattern can also
rub off during the installation process or when it comes into contact with objects in the pool. Zodiac is
not responsible for, and this warranty does not cover, pattern removal, cuts, abrasions or markings on
vinyl liners.
