ARRANTY
MICROMERITICS INSTRUMENT CORPORATION warrants for one year from the date of shipment each instrument it
manufactures to be free from defects in material and workmanship impairing its usefulness under normal use and
service conditions except as noted herein.
Our liability under this warranty is limited to repair, servicing and adjustment, free of charge at our plant, of any
instrument or defective parts when returned prepaid to us and which our examination discloses to have been defective.
The purchaser is responsible for all transportation charges involving the shipment of materials for warranty repairs.
Failure of any instrument or product due to operator error, improper installation, unauthorized repair or alteration, failure
of utilities, or environmental contamination will not constitute a warranty claim. The materials of construction used in
MICROMERITICS instruments and other products were chosen after extensive testing and experience for their
reliability and durability. However, these materials cannot be totally guaranteed against wear and/or decomposition by
chemical action (corrosion) as a result of normal use.
Repair parts are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for 90 days from the date of shipment.
No instrument or product shall be returned to MICROMERITICS prior to notification of alleged defect and authorization
to return the instrument or product. All repairs or replacements are made subject to factory inspection of returned parts.
MICROMERITICS shall be released from all obligations under its warranty in the event repairs or modifications are
made by persons other than its own authorized service personnel unless such work is authorized in writing by
MICROMERITICS.
The obligations of this warranty will be limited under the following conditions:
1. Certain products sold by MICROMERITICS are the products of reputable manufacturers, sold under their
respective brand names or trade names. We, therefore, make no express or implied warranty as to such
products. We shall use our best efforts to obtain from the manufacturer, in accordance with his customary prac-
tice, the repair or replacement of such of his products that may prove defective in workmanship or materials. Ser-
vice charges made by such manufacturer are the responsibility of the ultimate purchaser. This states our entire
liability in respect to such products, except as an authorized person of MICROMERITICS may otherwise agree
to in writing.
2. If an instrument or product is found defective during the warranty period, replacement parts may, at the dis-
cretion of MICROMERITICS, be sent to be installed by the purchaser, e.g., printed circuit boards, check valves,
seals, etc.
3. Expendable items, e.g., sample tubes, detector source lamps, indicator lamps, fuses, valve plugs (rotor) and
stems, seals and O-rings, ferrules, etc., are excluded from this warranty except for manufacturing defects. Such
items which perform satisfactorily during the first 45 days after the date of shipment are assumed to be free of
manufacturing defects.
Purchaser agrees to hold MICROMERITICS harmless from any patent infringement action brought against
MICROMERITICS if, at the request of the purchaser, MICROMERITICS modifies a standard product or manufactures a
special product to the purchaser’s specifications.
MICROMERITICS shall not be liable for consequential or other type damages resulting from the use of any of its
products other than the liability stated above. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, including
but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for use.
