In any case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance fees to be borne
by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase when required, please keep
the receipt 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 approved
repair shops, unless you are sending it directly to the manufacturer. Always
obtain a quotation for the service charge, and only after you accept the quoted
service charge, instruct the service station to proceed with the servicing.
The local warranty policies available from Pentax distributors in some
countries can supersede this warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend
that you review the warranty card supplied with your product at the time
of purchase, or contact the PENTAX distributor in your country for more
information and to receive a copy of the warranty policy.

WARRANTY POLICY
All Pentax cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic dis-
tribution channels 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, pro-
vided the equipment does not show evidence 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 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 workmanship or
otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the liability of the manufacturer or its
representatives under all guarantees or warranties, whether expressed or
implied, is strictly limited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore provided.
No refunds will be made on repairs by non-authorized Pentax service facilities.
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 representatives 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 customs procedures required. 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 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 representatives in that country.
Notwithstanding this, your Pentax returned to the manufacturer will be serviced
free of charge according to this procedure and warranty policy.
