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.
This warranty policy does not apply to Pentax
products purchased in the U.S.A., U.K., or Canada.
The local warranty policies available from Pentax
distributors in those countries supersede this
warranty policy.
