Warranty & Service

VanGuard microscopes are warranted by VEE GEE Scientific LLC 

to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period 

of five (5) years from the date of purchase, except for electrical 

components which have a one (1) year limited warranty. During 

this period, VEE GEE Scientific, or its authorized service station, 

will at their option and without charge, either repair or replace any 

part found to be defective in materials or workmanship.

This warranty is subject to the following limitations and exceptions 

and will not apply if:
1) There is lack of proof of date and place of purchase. The 

purchase invoice must accompany the unit when sent in for repair. 

The warranty extends to the original consumer purchaser only and 

is not assignable or transferable.
2) The damage is due to normal wear and tear, misuse, abuse, 

negligence, accident, inadequate maintenance, disregard 

for operating instruction, or to any other cause not due to the 

manufacture of the microscope (e.g., objective failure because of 

oil penetration due to lack of timely cleaning).
3) The serial numbers, names, and/or functions are altered or 

obliterated; or unauthorized repair or replacement of parts by the 

End-User or an unauthorized third party while under warranty.
4) Consumable items (such as, but not limited to, bulbs) have failed.

This warranty expressly excludes transportation damage and 

adjustment or readjustment. In no case shall VEE GEE Scientific 

be liable to the Buyer or any person for any special, indirect, 

incidental, or consequential damage whether claims are based 

in contract or otherwise with respect to or arising out of product 

furnished hereunder. For goods manufactured by any third party, 

VEE GEE Scientific’s liability under warranty is limited to the terms 

of the warranty by the supplier for the goods. All warranty work 

shall be performed at the authorized service center. Contact your 

distributor or VEE GEE Scientific to discuss the problem and obtain 

instructions for the return of your microscope for repair. The original 

purchaser returning this product must prepay all postage, shipping, 

transportation, packaging, and delivery costs.
