Warranty Policy - Pentax IQZoom 135 M Operating Manual

WARRANTY POLICY
All Pentax cameras purchased through autho¬
rized bona fide photographic distribution chan¬
nels 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 equip¬
ment 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 work¬
manship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed
that the liability of the manufacturer or its repre¬
sentatives under all guarantees or warranties,
whether expressed or implied, is strictly limited
to the replacement of parts as herein before pro¬
vided. No refunds will be made on repairs per¬
formed by non-authorized Pentax service facili¬
ties.
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 equip¬
ment or to the manufacturer. If there is no repre¬
sentative of the manufacturer in your country,
send the equipment to the manufacturer with
postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a con¬
siderable 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 equip¬
ment 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 rep¬
resentatives in that country. Notwithstanding
this, your Pentax returned to the manufacturer
will be serviced free of charge according to this
procedure and warranty policy.
