18. Warranty

We guarantee our products for a

period of twenty-four months, except
for cables, batteries and cells (includ-
ing rechargeable batteries and cells)
and any other products of other man-
ufacturers for which SCHOEPS is only
the reseller; for these products the
period of guarantee is six months. The
guarantee period begins on the date
of purchase. Please provide your bill of
sale in all cases as proof of guarantee;
without it, repairs will be undertaken
only at the owner’s expense.

We reserve the right to satisfy all

warranty requirements regarding defects
of workmanship or materials by means
of repair or partial or complete replace-
ment of the unit, at our sole discretion.

Excluded from this guarantee are

defects due to misuse (e.g. incorrect
operation; mechanical damage), abuse
or “acts of God.” This guarantee is
nullified in the event of tampering by
unauthorized persons or agencies. 

To secure your rights under this guar-

antee, send the unit with all included
accessories and proof of purchase, at
your expense, either to SCHOEPS (if
you are a customer in Germany), or to
our representative (if you are a customer
outside of Germany).

In exceptional cases you can, by

prior arrangement with SCHOEPS,
send a unit directly to us from a for-
eign country. But since any return
shipment to a foreign customer must
be prepaid, this would be slower espe-
cially when the conditions for service
under guarantee are not met; all pay-
ment must then be carried out before
the repaired item could be returned to
the customer.

This guarantee does not affect any

contractual agreements which may
exist between the buyer and seller of
the equipment.

This guarantee is world-wide.
