Clean Power Lake County has given no warranty, express or implied, regarding the Activities, the Risks, and/or any Damages except as stated herein or in another writing signed by a Clean Power Lake County officer (each, a "Warranty"). In signing this agreement, I have not relied on any statement not set forth herein or in any Warranty. Amendment and Interpretation.
