Triplett Model 9310-A

12: Triplett Three Year Limited Warranty

The Triplett Corporation warrants instruments and test equipment manufactured by it to
be free from defective material or workmanship and agrees to repair or replace such
products which, under normal use and service, disclose the defect to be the fault of our
manufacturing, with no charge within three years (one year on calibration) of the date of
original purchase for parts and labor.  If we are unable to repair or replace the product,
we will make a refund of the purchase price.  Consult the Instruction Manual for instructions
regarding the proper use and servicing of instruments and test equipment.  Our obligation
under this warranty is limited to repairing, replacing, or making refund on any instrument
or test equipment which proves to be defective within three years from the date of original
purchase.

This warranty does not apply to any of our products which have been repaired or altered
by unauthorized persons in any way so as, in our sole judgment, to injure their stability or
reliability, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, misapplication, negligence,
accident or which have had the serial numbers altered, defaced, or removed.  Accessories,
including batteries and fuses, not of our manufacture used with this product are not covered
by this warranty.

To register a claim under the provisions of this warranty, contact Triplett Corporation’s
Customer Service Department for a Return Authorization Number (RMA) and return
instructions.  No returned product will be accepted without an RMA number. Upon
our inspection of the product, we will advise you as to the disposition of your claim.

ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW ARE HEREBY LIMITED TO A PERIOD OF THREE
YEARS (ONE YEAR ON CALIBRATION) FROM DATE OF PURCHASE, AND THE
PROVISIONS OF THE WARRANTY ARE EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER
WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.

The purchaser agrees to assume all liability for any damages and bodily injury which may
result from the use or misuse  of the product by the purchaser, his employees, or others,
and the remedies provided for in this warranty are expressly in lieu of any other liability
Triplett Corporation may have, including incidental or consequential damages.

Some states (USA ONLY) do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.  No
representative of Triplett Corporation or any other person is authorized to extend the
liability of Triplett Corporation in connection with the sale of its products beyond the terms
hereof.

Triplett Corporation reserves the right to discontinue models at any time, or change
specifications, price or design, without notice and without incurring any obligation.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary
from state to state.
