ABOUT OUR WARRANTY

Warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests 
for warranty service may not be appropriate or applicable. For 
example, warranty service would not apply if equipment damage 
occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, 
shipping, handling, warehousing, or improper installation. 
Similarly, the warranty is void if the manufacturing date or the 
serial number on the equipment has been removed, altered, or 
modified. During the warranty period defined above, the authorized 
certified technician, at its option, will repair or replace any part 
that, upon examination, is found to be defective under normal 
use and service. No allowances shall be made to the Buyer for 
any transportation, duties, brokerage fees, labor costs, or parts 
adjustments or repairs, or any other work, unless said charges 
have been authorized in writing, in advance, by the Seller. The 
Seller shall not be liable for determining whether any Article(s) 
or parts thereof are suitable for the Buyer’s or any third-party’s 
intended use or application. The Seller shall in no event be liable 
for any special or consequential damages or for loss of profit as 
a result of a breach of this warranty, including without limitation, 
any damages relating to any direct or indirect damage to property 
resulting from any use, removal or installation of the article(s) by 
the Buyer or any third-party.  

This warranty will not cover the following repairs and equipment:

  •   Normal  Wear:

 Electrical equipment, like any mechanical 

device, needs periodic parts and service to perform well.  This 
warranty does not cover repair when normal use has exhausted 
the life of the part or equipment.

  •   Installation and Maintenance:

 This warranty does not apply 

to equipment or parts that have been subjected to improper or 
unauthorized installation or alteration or modification, misuse, 
negligence, accident, overloading, improper maintenance, 
repair or storage so as, in our judgment, to adversely affect its 
performance and reliability.  This warranty also does not cover 
normal maintenance such as adjustments, cleaning and fuse 
replacement.

Other exclusions:

 This warranty excludes wear items or damage 

or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, modifications, 
alterations, or improper servicing. Accessory parts are excluded 
from the product warranty. This warranty excludes failure due 
to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the 
manufacturer’s control. Also excluded is used, reconditioned, and 
demonstration equipment. The warranty shall not apply to any 
materials or parts thereof furnished by the Buyer, or acquired from 
others at the Buyer’s request and/or the Buyer’s specifications or 
designs.
