242WARRANTY POLICY

All PENTAX cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic distribution channels are guaranteed against defects of material or workmanship for a period of twelve months from date of purchase. Service will be rendered, and defective parts will be replaced without cost to you within that period, provided the equipment does not show evidence of impact, sand or liquid damage, mishandling, tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation contrary to operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair shop. The manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall not be liable for any repair or alterations except those made with its written consent and shall not be liable for damages from delay or loss of use or from other indirect or consequential damages of any kind, whether caused by defective material or workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the liability of the manufacturer or its representatives under all guarantees or warranties, whether expressed or implied, is strictly limited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore provided. No refunds will be made on repairs by non- authorized PENTAX service facilities.

 

Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period

 

Any PENTAX which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period

 

should be returned to the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment

 

or to the manufacturer. If there are no representatives of the manufacturer

 

in your country, send the equipment to the manufacturer, with postage

 

prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the

 

equipment can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs

 

procedures required. If the equipment is covered by warranty, repairs will

 

be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the equipment will be

 

returned to you upon completion of servicing. If the equipment is not

 

covered by warranty, regular charges of the manufacturer or of its

11

representatives will apply. Shipping charges are to be borne by the owner.

Appendix

If your PENTAX was purchased outside of the country where you wish to

have it serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and servicing

fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s representatives in that

country. Notwithstanding this, your PENTAX returned to the manufacturer

 

will be serviced free of charge according to this procedure and warranty

 

policy. In any case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance

 

fees to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase when
