5.LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND REMEDY
The Manufacturer and the Distributor are not liable for any consequential, indirect or incidental loss or damage or for any service not expressly provided herein and the liability of the Manufacturer or the Distributor under this warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of defective material or workmanship, by an authorised Mazda Dealer or the Distributor at its place of business utilising genuine Mazda approved parts and the skills of Mazda trained technicians.

TYRE WARRANTY
Tyres installed as original equipment on Mazda vehicles are warranted by their respective manufacturers and are not included in this warranty.
OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY
1.Maintenance services are the owner's responsibility. You must retain evidence that proper maintenance has been performed on your Mazda vehicle, which an authorised Mazda Dealer or other service provider should certify in the Warranty Information booklet by its stamp and its signature. Claims made during the warranty term will not qualify under the warranty if resulting from lack of maintenance rather than from defective material or workmanship. If your vehicle is subject to use under severe driving conditions, you should follow the additional maintenance requirements specified in your Owner's Manual.
2.You must maintain your Mazda vehicle in accordance with section "Appearance Care" in your Owner's Manual. You must repair, at your expense, any body rust, corrosion, or damage due to any neglect (maintenance is the owner's responsibility) or to external causes found by inspection, which are not subject to the warranty, within 30 days of identification. You must promptly inform your authorised Mazda Dealer, if you find rust and/or corrosion to the body part(s) of your Mazda vehicle.
3.You must deliver your Mazda vehicle to an authorised Mazda Dealer to obtain warranty service.
