Warranty Policy - Pentax IQZoom 140M 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 equipment
does not show evidence of impact, sand or liquid
damage, mishandling, tampering, battery or
chemical corrosion, operation contrary to oper-
ating instructions, or modification by an unau-
thorized 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 Pentad 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 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
returned to you owing to the complicated cus-
toms 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.
