GX-SERIES

For components and parts not manufactured by Sonics but included in Sonics

manufactured equipment, this warranty shall be limited to the warranty as given

to Sonics by said original component or part manufacturer.

Ultrasonic horns supplied by Sonics are manufactured to exacting specifications

and are tuned to vibrate at a specific frequency. Using an out-of-tune horn will

cause damage to the equipment and may result in warranty nullification. Sonics

assumes no responsibility for converters, horns or fixtures not supplied by

Sonics or for consequential damages resulting from their usage.

Ultrasonic converters showing signs of excessive heat or contamination, such as

but not limited to, oils and moisture, are not covered by this warranty.

Warranty does not apply to ultrasonic horns quoted as prototype, experimental

or of unusual design which, in our judgment are more likely to fail in use.

Warranty does not apply to re-sharpening of ultrasonic blade type cutting or

slitting horns.

Warranty does not apply to knurl pattern wear on ultrasonic plastics and metal

welding horns and tips.

Warranty does not apply to ultrasonic horn or tip face wear when used with

plastics that are molded with fillers, such as but not limited to, glass or talc.

This warranty does not apply to ultrasonic plastics welding equipment, horns or

fixtures where metal-to-metal tooling contact time is in excess of 250

milliseconds.

This warranty does not apply to used or re-built equipment.

This warranty is non-transferable.

Data supplied in Sonics instruction manuals has been verified and validated and

is believed adequate for the intended use of the equipment. If the equipment or

procedures are used for purposes other than those specified herein, confirmation

of their validity and suitability should be obtained in writing from Sonics.

Otherwise Sonics does not guarantee results and assumes no obligation or

liability.

This warranty is in lieu of any other warranties, either express, implied, or

statutory. Sonics neither assumes nor authorizes any person to assume for it any

other obligation or liability in connection with the sale of its products. Sonics

hereby disclaims any warranty or merchantability or fitness for a particular

purpose. No person or company is authorized to change, modify, or amend the

terms of this warranty in any manner or fashion whatsoever.

Under no

circumstances shall Sonics be liable to the purchaser or to any other person for

any incidental or consequential damages or loss of profit or product resulting

from any malfunction or failure of this Sonics product.
