1.1.1 Warning labels
Everything comes with warning labels. Let’s get these out of the way.
All parts are sold for OFF ROAD RACE-ONLY ground-vehicle use only, or vehicles that predate any federal and
state emissions control requirements. Aftermarket EFI/EMS systems are not for sale or use on pollution controlled
vehicles. Alteration of emission related components constitutes tampering under the US EPA guidelines and can
lead to substantial fines and penalties. Your state/district may also have specific rules restricting your tampering
with your vehicle’s emissions system. In short, as stated before, our official policy has to be RACE or OFF-ROAD
USE-ONLY in ground based vehicles ONLY.
Race parts are inherently dangerous and may cause injury or damage if improperly modified or altered before
use. Hoffmann Innovations will not be held liable for and will not pay you for any injuries or damage caused by
misuse, modification, redesign, or alternation of any of our products. Hoffmann Innovations will not be held in
any way responsible for any incidental or consequential damages including direct or indirect labor, towing, lodging,
garage, repair, medical, or legal expense in any way attributable to the use of any item in our catalog or to the
delay or inconvenience caused by the necessity of replacing or repairing any such item.
