Warranty Information 

X-Rite warrants this Product against defects in material and workmanship for a period of twelve 
(12) months from the date of shipment from X-Rite’s facility, unless mandatory law provides for 

longer periods.  During such time, X-Rite will either replace or repair at its discretion defective 
parts free of charge.  

 
X-Rite’s warranties herein do not cover failure of warranted goods resulting from:  (i) damage 

after shipment, accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, alteration or any other use not in accordance 
with X-Rite’s recommendations, accompanying documentation, published specifications, and 
standard industry practice; (ii) using the device in an operating environment outside the 

recommended specifications or failure to follow the maintenance procedures in X-Rite’s 
accompanying documentation or published specifications; (iii) repair or service by anyone other 

than X-Rite or its authorized representatives; (iv) the failure of the warranted goods caused by 
use of any parts or consumables not manufactured, distributed, or approved by X-Rite; (v) any 

attachments or modifications to the warranted goods that are not manufactured, distributed or 
approved by X-Rite.  Consumable parts and Product cleaning are also not covered by the 

warranty. 
 
X-Rite‘s sole and exclusive obligation for breach of the above warranties shall be the repair or 

replacement of any part, without charge, which within the warranty period is proven to X-Rite‘s 
reasonable satisfaction to have been defective.  Repairs or replacement by X-Rite shall not revive 

an otherwise expired warranty, nor shall the same extend the duration of a warranty.  
 

Customer shall be responsible for packaging and shipping the defective product to the service 
center designated by X-Rite.  X-Rite shall pay for the return of the product to Customer if the 

shipment is to a location within the region in which the X-Rite service center is located. Customer 
shall be responsible for paying all shipping charges, duties, taxes, and any other charges for 
products returned to any other locations.  Proof of purchase in the form of a bill of sale or 

receipted invoice which is evidence that the unit is within the Warranty period must be presented 
to obtain warranty service.  Do not try to dismantle the Product.  Unauthorized dismantling of the 

equipment will void all warranty claims.  Contact the X-Rite Support or the nearest X-Rite Service 
Center, if you believe that the unit does not work anymore or does not work correctly.   

 
THESE WARRANTIES ARE GIVEN SOLELY TO BUYER AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER 

WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED 
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR APPLICATION, 
AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.  NO EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF X-RITE, OTHER THAN AN OFFICER OF 

X-RITE, IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY WARRANTY IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING. 
 

IN NO EVENT WILL X-RITE BE LIABLE FOR ANY OF BUYER’S MANUFACTURING COSTS, 
OVERHEAD, LOST PROFITS, GOODWILL, OTHER EXPENSES OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, 

INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES BASED UPON BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY, BREACH 
OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.  IN ANY EVENT OF 

LIABILITY, X-RITE’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY HEREUNDER WILL NOT EXCEED THE PRICE OF THE 
GOODS OR SERVICES FURNISHED BY X-RITE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
