Warranty 

Products manufactured by Seller are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for twelve (12) months from date of 
shipment thereof to Customer, and Seller’s liability under valid warranty claims is limited, at the option of Seller, to repair, to re-
place, or refund of an equitable portion of the purchase price of the Product. Items expendable in normal use are not covered by 
this warranty. All warranty replacement or repair of parts shall be limited to equipment malfunctions which, in the sole opinion of 
Seller, are due or traceable to defects in original materials or workmanship. All obligations of Seller under this warranty shall 
cease in the event of abuse, accident, alteration, misuse, or neglect of the equipment. In-warranty repaired or replaced parts are 
warranted only for the remaining unexpired portion of the original warranty period applicable to the repaired or replaced parts. 
After expiration of the applicable warranty period, Customer shall be charged at the then current prices for parts, labor, and trans-
portation. 

Reasonable care must be used to avoid hazards. Seller expressly disclaims responsibility for loss or damage caused by use of its 
Products other than in accordance with proper operating procedures. 

Except as stated herein, Seller makes no warranty, express or implied (either in fact or by operation of law), statutory or other-
wise; and, except as stated herein, Seller shall have no liability under any warranty, express or implied (either in fact or by opera-
tion of law), statutory or otherwise. Statements made by any person, including representatives of Seller, which are inconsistent or 
in conflict with the terms of this warranty shall not be bin-ding upon Seller unless reduced to writing and approved by an officer of 
Seller. 

 
 
 

 

Warranty Replacement and Adjustment 

All claims under warranty must be made promptly after occurrence of circumstances giving rise thereto, and must be received 
within the applicable warranty period by Seller or its authorized representative. Such claims should include the Product serial 
number, the date of shipment, and a full description of the circumstances giving rise to the claim. Before any Products are re-
turned for repair and/or adjustment, written authorization from Seller or its authorized representative for the return and instructions 
as to how and where these Products should be returned must be obtained. Any Product returned to Seller for examination shall 
be prepaid via the means of transportation indicated as acceptable by Seller. Seller reserves the right to reject any warranty claim 
not promptly reported and any warranty claim on any item that has been altered or has been returned by non-acceptable means 
of transportation. When any Product is returned for examination and inspection, or for any other reason, Customer shall be res-
ponsible for all damage resulting from improper packing or handling, and for loss in transit, not withstanding any defect or non-
conformity in the Product. In all cases, Seller has the sole responsibility for determining the cause and nature of failure, and 
Seller’s determination with regard thereto shall be final. 

If it is found that Seller’s Product has been returned without cause and is still serviceable, Customer will be notified and the Pro-
duct returned at Customer’s expense; in addition, a charge for testing and examination may be made on Products so returned.
