All Pentax cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photo-
graphic distribution 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, provided the equip-
ment does not show evidence of impact, sand or liquid damage, mis-
handling, tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation con-
trary 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 other-
wise; 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 man-
ufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a consider-
able length of time before the equipment can be returned to you
owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If the equip-
ment is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts replaced
free of charge, and the equipment will be returned to you upon com-
pletion of servicing. If the equipment is not covered by warranty, reg-
ular 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. In any case, however, shipping charges and customs clear-
ance fees to be borne by the sender.To prove the date of your pur-
chase 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 pro-
ceed with the servicing.
