2. Damage caused by improper installation or improper application or improper alteration of the handrail.

5. Damage resulting from abrasion, vandalism, misuse, physical abuse, riot, insurrection or civil disorder.
6. Damage caused by negligence in, or failure to provide, reasonable and necessary maintenance of the handrail to prevent an accumulation of surface dirt, chalk, staining, salt, mildew or fungus.
