DOES NOT COVER damages which occurred in shipment, or failures which are caused 
by products not supplied by the warrantor, or failures which result from accidents, misuse, 
abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, set-up 
adjustments, misadjustment of consumer controls, improper maintenance, power line
