(1) year of additional warranty coverage. The repair or replacement of parts or the performance of service under this warranty
does not extend the life of this warranty beyond its original expiration date. The warranty period is specific to the model covered;
see your model for the base coverage period:

for any part of the warranty period, even if the product is only occasionally used for such purposes. The repair or replacement
of parts or the performance of service under this warranty does not extend the life of this warranty beyond its original expiration
date.

upon proper reregistration of the product. Unexpired warranty coverage cannot be transferred either to or from a commercial‐use
