Warranty for the Model PDC - Patient Dose Calibrator 

Radcal Corporation warrants that, in the event that any defects in material or workmanship
should develop within one year of the date of shipment, the company assumes full
responsibility for servicing equipment of its manufacture without charge upon return of the
equipment to Radcal, with shipping costs prepaid by the customer. Costs to return-ship to
customer by ground transportation will be paid by Radcal if the repairs are warranty-
applicable. This warranty excludes batteries.
Radcal shall not be held liable for damages or delays caused by defects beyond making
repairs or furnishing replacement parts, nor shall Radcal be liable for any defective
material replaced without Radcal’s consent during the period of this warranty. Radcal
reserves the right to perform warranty services at its own factory.

Non-Warranty Repairs

The calibration of this instrument was correct within specified limits when the instrument
left our factory. Radcal cannot be responsible for injury or damage resulting from improper
use or calibration errors which develop subsequent to our shipment of the instrument.
If Radcal determines that a fault has been caused by misuse, abnormal operating
conditions, or repairs by unauthorized personnel during the warranty period, repairs and
shipping costs will be billed at normal rates.
If the equipment is found to be in proper working condition, Radcal will return-ship the
equipment at customer expense.
