Sure - it's a weasel clause related to their potential risk exposure
related to snow and ice loading. Since their towers won't comply with any
tower
ice loading standards, it's caveat emptor for buyers.
A weasel clause is a statement that if you don't comply with, they can
weasel out of any liability. Since tower manufacturers are insurance
driven enterprises, they are very risk averse.
