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 herein before provided. No
refunds will be made on repairs performed by non-authorized 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 is no 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 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 are to be borne by the sender. To prove the
date of your purchase when required, please keep the receipts 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. Always obtain a quotation for the service charge, and only after you accept the quoted service
charge, instruct the service station to proceed with the servicing.
The local warranty policies available from Pentax distributors in some countries can supersede this warranty
policy. Therefore, we recommend that you review the warranty card supplied with your product at the time of
purchase, or contact the PENTAX distributor in your country for more information and to receive a copy of the
warranty policy.
