Alt Pentax cameras purchased through authorized

guaranteed against defects of material or workman-
ship 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 evi-
dence 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
repatrs or alterations except those made with its
written consent and shall not be liable for damages
from delay or loss of use or for other indirect or
consequential damages of any kind, whether caused
by defective material or workmanship or otherwise;
and it is expressly agreed that the liability of the
manufacturer or its representatives under all guar-
antees or warranties, whether expressed or implied,
is strictly limited to the replacement of parts as
hereinbefore provided. No refunds will be made on
repairs performed by non-authorized Pentax service
facilities.
Procedure during 12-month Warranty Period
Any Pentax equipment which proves defective during
the 12-month warranty period should be returned to
the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment
or 10 the manufacturer. If there is no representative
of the munufacturer in your country, send the equip-
ment 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 customs procedures required in
Japan for importing and re-exporting photographic
equipment. If the equipment is covered by warranty,
repairs will be made and parts replaced free of
charge, and the equipment will be returned to you
upon completion of servicing. If the equipment is not
covered by warranty, regular charges of the manu-
facturer or of its representatives will apply. If your
Pentax equipment 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 representa-
tives in that country. Notwithstanding this, Pentax
equipment returned to the manufacturer will be
serviced free of charge according to this procedure
and warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping
charges and customs clearance fees are to be borne
by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase
when required, please keep the receipts or bills —
covering the purchase of your equipment for at least
a year. Before sending your equipment for servicing,
please make sure that you are sending it to the
manufacturer's authorized representatives or their
accredited repair shops, unless you are sending it
directly 10 the manufacturer. Always obtain a
quotation of the service charge, and only after you
accept the quoted service charge, instruct the service
station 10 proceed with the servicing.
This warranty does not apply to Pentax products
purchased in the U.S.A., U.K. or Canada. The local
warranty policies available from Pentax distribu-
tors in those countries supersede this warranty
policy.
