WARRANTY 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 is no representative 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 representatives will apply. 
Shipping charges are to be borne by the owner. 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.
