WARRANTY

POLICY

All

Pentax

cameras

purchased

through

authorized

bona

fide

photographic

distribution

channels

are

guaranteed

against

defects

of

material

or

workman-

ship

for

a

period

of

twelve

months

from

date

of

pur-

chase.

Service

will

be

rendered

and

defective

parts

will

be

replaced

without

cost

to

you

within

that

period,

provided

the

equipment

has

not

been

abused,

altered,

or

operated

contrary

to

instruction.

Because

the

tolerances,

quality,

and

design

compatibility

of

lenses

other

than

Pentax

lenses

are

beyond

our

con-

trol,

damage

caused

by

use

of

such

lenses

will

not

be

covered

by

this

warranty

policy.

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

guar-

antees

or

warranties,

whether

expressed

or

implied,

is

strictly

limited

to

the

replacement

of

parts

as

here-

in

before

provided.

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

representative

of

the

manufacturer

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

in

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

com-

pletion

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

pur-

chased

outside

of

the

country

where

you

wish

to

have

serviced

during

the

warranty

period,

regular

handling

and

servicing

fees

may

be

charged

by

the

manufacturer's

representatives

in

that

country.

Not-

withstanding

this,

your

Pentax

returned

to

the

manu-

facturer

will

be

serviced

free

of

charge

according

to

this

procedure

and

warranty

policy.

In

any

case,

however,

shipping

charges

and

customs
