Warranty Policy - Pentax P3 Instruction Manual

WARRANTY POLICY
All Pentax cameras purchased through authorized
bona fide photographic distribution channels are
'guaranteed against defects of material or work¬
manship 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. Because the tolerances, quality, and
design compatibility of lenses other than Pentax
lenses are beyond our control, damage caused by
use of such lenses will not be covered by this
warranty policy. 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 work¬
manship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed
that the liability of the manufacturer or its
representatives under all guarantees or warranties,
whether express or implied, is strictly limited
to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore
provided. IMo refunds will be made on repairs
performed by non-authorized Pentax service
facilities.

representative 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 equip¬
ment can be returned to you owing to the
complicated customs procedures required in
Japan in importing and re-exporting photographic
equipment. 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,

representatives will apply. Shipping charges are
