Warranty Policy - Pentax EL-100 Operating 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 defec-
tive 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 con-
sequential damages of any kind, whether caused
b y d e f e c t i v e m a t e r i a l o r w o r k m a n s h i p o r
otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the li-
ability of the manufacturer or its representatives
under all guarantees or warranties, whether ex-
pressed or implied, is strictly limited to the replace-
ment of parts as hereinbefore provided. No re-
funds will be made on repairs 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 representa-
tive 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 re-
turned to you owing to the complicated customs
procedures required. If the equipment is covered
by warranty, repairs will be made and parts re-
placed free of charge, and the equipment will be
returned to you upon completion of servicing. If
the equipment is not covered by warranty, regu-
lar charges of the manufacturer or of its repre-
sentatives 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 han-
dling 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 ac-
cording to this procedure and warranty policy. In
