7. This warranty does not apply to damage from exposure to extreme heat, dryness, or stains as a result of chemical

to have been given by the seller even though they are not set out in writing. QUICK STEP SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
AND WILL NOT PAY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER UNDER
THIS WARRANTY. PLEASE NOTE: Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply
to you. Except for these rights, the remedies provided under these warranties state the entire limit of Quick Step’s
