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. 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 equip-
ment for servicing, please make sure that you are sending it to the manufactur-
er'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.
