the first period of the warranty, the obligation assumed
by Fenplast Inc. will be limited to supplying a sufficient
quantity of paint to touch up the damaged surfaces.
Fenplast Inc. does not make any other warranty for paint

the cost of labour, except for the first period of 10 years,
direct and incidental damage, real or foreseeable, present
or future damage, are specifically excluded.
