The replacement is your exclusive remedy and our sole obligation for any breach of warranty, except that, if, after a reasonable number of attempts, we are unable to provide you a product that meets the above warranty, we will refund the purchase price for that product, as our sole obligation and your sole remedy.
With respect to those products sold by us but manufactured by a third party, we make no express warranties whatsoever and disclaim any thereof, and all such products are sold “AS IS, WHERE IS.” We will, however, try to pass along the benefit of any warranties provided by the third-party manufacturer.
