Every Meade telescope and telescope accessory is warranted by Meade Instruments Corporation (“Meade”) to be free of

defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ONE YEAR from the date of original purchase in the U.S.A. and Cana-

da. Meade will repair or replace a product, or part thereof, found by Meade to be defective, provided the defective part is

returned to Meade, freight-prepaid, with proof of purchase. This warranty applies to the original purchaser only and is non-

transferable. Meade products purchased outside North America are not included in this warranty, but are covered under sep-

arate warranties issued by Meade international distributors.

RGA Number Required:

Prior to the return of any product or part, a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number

detailing the nature of the claimed defect, as well as the owner’s name, address, and phone number.

This warranty is not valid in cases where the product has been abused or mishandled, where unauthorized repairs have been

attempted or performed, or where depreciation of the product is due to normal wear-and-tear. Meade specifically disclaims

special, indirect, or consequential damages or lost profit which may result from a breach of this warranty. Any implied warranties

which cannot be disclaimed are hereby limited to a term of one year from the date of original retail purchase.
