in Laufen, Switzerland. However, due to excessive work load or component supply deliveries this repair
time may be extended. The warranty on demo equipment is limited in all cases to a maximum period
of 2 years after delivery ex works (see EMC PARTNER Invoice date). For sales by sub-resellers or rental
companies, the warranty will not be extended. Shipping expenses "Customer to EMC PARTNER "
