(1) Details of Warranty
Warranty Period
The warranty period for a product that was purchased (hereafter called “delivered product”) is one year from
the time of delivery to the location specified by the customer or 18 months from the time of shipment from
the Yaskawa factory, whichever is sooner.
Warranty Scope
Yaskawa shall replace or repair a defective product free of change if a defect attributable to Yaskawa occurs
during the warranty period above. This warranty does not cover defects caused by the delivered product
reaching the end of its service life and replacement of parts that require replacement or that have a limited
service life.
This warranty does not cover failures that result from any of the following causes.
1. Improper handling, abuse, or use in unsuitable conditions or in environments not described in product cat-
alogs or manuals, or in any separately agreed-upon specifications
2. Causes not attributable to the delivered product itself
3. Modifications or repairs not performed by Yaskawa
4. Abuse of the delivered product in a manner in which it was not originally intended
5. Causes that were not foreseeable with the scientific and technological understanding at the time of ship-
ment from Yaskawa
6. Events for which Yaskawa is not responsible, such as natural or human-made disasters
(2) Limitations of Liability
1. Yaskawa shall in no event be responsible for any damage or loss of opportunity to the customer that arises
due to failure of the delivered product.
2. Yaskawa shall not be responsible for any programs (including parameter settings) or the results of pro-
gram execution of the programs provided by the user or by a third party for use with programmable
Yaskawa products.
3. The information described in product catalogs or manuals is provided for the purpose of the customer pur-
chasing the appropriate product for the intended application. The use thereof does not guarantee that there
are no infringements of intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights of Yaskawa or third parties,
nor does it construe a license.
4. Yaskawa shall not be responsible for any damage arising from infringements of intellectual property
rights or other proprietary rights of third parties as a result of using the information described in catalogs
