English translation: Agreement

English term or phrase: solely
"The Product you purchased is warranted by the Company solely in accordance with this Agreement. "

I would like to know whether "solely" is attached to "in accordance with" or is attached to "by the Company."

In other words, does it limit the condition of warranty or does it limit who the warrantor is?
