regulatory authority that it exercises for the health, safety, and welfare of the public. This

of its regulatory authority. CONCESSIONAIRE acknowledges that it has no right and will
not make claim based upon any of the following:
a. Claims based upon any alleged breach by the CONCESSIONAIRE of
implied warranties or representations not specifically set forth in this Agreement,

of the CONCESSIONAIRE. All obligations of the CONCESSIONAIRE are only
as set forth in this Agreement;
