9. Warranty 

TPS Pty. Ltd. guarantees all instruments and sensors to be free from 
defects in material and workmanship when subjected to normal use and 
service. This guarantee is expressly limited to the servicing and/or 
adjustment of an instrument returned to the Factory, or Authorised 
Service Station, freight prepaid, within twelve (12) months from the date of 
delivery, and to the repairing, replacing, or adjusting of parts which upon 
inspection are found to be defective. Warranty period on sensors is three 
(3) months. 

There are no express or implied warranties which extend beyond the face 
hereof, and TPS Pty. Ltd. is not liable for any incidental or consequential 
damages arising from the use or misuse of this equipment, or from 
interpretation of information derived from the equipment. 

Shipping damage is not covered by this warranty. 

Please note 

A guarantee card is packed with the instrument or sensor. This card must 
be completed at the time of purchase and the registration section returned 
to TPS Pty. Ltd. within 7 days. No claims will be recognised without the 
original guarantee card or other proof of purchase. This warranty 
becomes invalid if modifications or repairs are attempted by unauthorised 
persons, or the serial number is missing. 

Procedure for service 

If you feel that this equipment is in need of repair, please re-read the 
manual. Sometimes, instruments are received for "repair" in perfect 
working order. This can occur where batteries simply require replacement 
or re-charging, or where the sensor simply requires cleaning or 
replacement. 

TPS Pty. Ltd. has a fine reputation for prompt and efficient service. In just 
a few days, our factory service engineers and technicians will examine 
and repair your equipment to your full satisfaction.
