WARRANTY POLICY
All PENTAX cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic
distribution channels are guaranteed against defects of material or workmanship
for a period of twelve months from date of purchase. Service will be rendered, and
defective parts will be replaced without cost to you within that period, provided the
equipment does not show evidence of impact, sand or liquid damage,
mishandling, tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation contrary to
operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair shop. The
manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall not be liable for any repair or
alterations except those made with its written consent and shall not be liable for
damages from delay or loss of use or from other indirect or consequential
damages of any kind, whether caused by defective material or workmanship or
otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the liability of the manufacturer or its
representatives under all guarantees or warranties, whether expressed or
implied, is strictly limited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore provided. No
refunds will be made on repairs by nonauthorized PENTAX service facilities.
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any PENTAX which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period should
be returned to the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment or to the
manufacturer. If there are no representatives
of the manufacturer in your country, send the equipment to the manufacturer, with
postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the
equipment can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs procedures
required. If the equipment is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts
replaced free of charge, and the equipment will be returned to you upon
completion of servicing. If the equipment is not covered by warranty, regular
charges of the manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping charges
are to be borne by the owner. If your PENTAX was purchased outside of the
country where you wish to have it serviced during the warranty period, regular
handling and servicing fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s
representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your PENTAX returned to
the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge according to this procedure and
warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance
fees to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase when
required, please keep the receipt or bills covering the purchase of your equipment
for at least a year. Before sending your equipment for servicing, please make sure
that you are sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized representatives or their
approved repair shops, unless you are sending it directly to the manufacturer.
