A. iOptron warrants your telescope, mount, or controller to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year. iOptron 
will repair or replace such product or part which, upon inspection by iOptron, is found to be defective in materials or workmanship. 
As a condition to the obligation of iOptron to repair or replace such product, the product must be returned to iOptron together with 
proof-of-purchase satisfactory to iOptron. 
 
B. The Proper Return Authorization Number must be obtained from iOptron in advance of return. Call iOptron at 1.866.399.4587 to 
receive the number to be displayed on the outside of your shipping container.  
 
All returns must be accompanied by a written statement stating the name, address, and daytime telephone number of the owner, 
together with a brief description of any claimed defects. Parts or product for which replacement is made shall become the property 
of iOptron.  
 
The customer shall be responsible for all costs of transportation and insurance, both to and from the factory of iOptron, and shall be 
required to prepay such costs. 
 
iOptron shall use reasonable efforts to repair or replace any telescope, mount, or controller covered by this warranty within thirty 
days of receipt. In the event repair or replacement shall require more than thirty days, iOptron shall notify the customer accordingly. 
iOptron reserves the right to replace any product which has been discontinued from its product line with a new product of 
comparable value and function.  
 
This warranty shall be void and of no force of effect in the event a covered product has been modified in design or function, or 
subjected to abuse, misuse, mishandling or unauthorized repair. Further, product malfunction or deterioration due to normal wear is 
not covered by this warranty. 

 
IOPTRON DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER OF MERCHANTABILITY OF FITNESS FOR A 
PARTICULAR USE, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HERE. THE SOLE OBLIGATION OF IOPTRON UNDER THIS 
LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE COVERED PRODUCT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS 
SET FORTH HERE. IOPTRON EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LOST PROFITS, GENERAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR 
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY RESULT FROM BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY, OR ARISING OUT OF THE USE 
OR INABILITY TO USE ANY IOPTRON PRODUCT. ANY WARRANTIES WHICH ARE IMPLIED AND WHICH CANNOT BE 
DISCLAIMED SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO A TERM OF ONE YEARS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL RETAIL 
PURCHASE.  
 
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitation on how long an implied 
warranty lasts, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.  
 
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.  
 
iOptron reserves the right to modify or discontinue, without prior notice to you, any model or style telescope.
