Warranty Policy
All our cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic distribution
channels are guaranteed against defects of material or workmanship for a period of
twelve months from the date of your purchase. Service will be rendered, and defective
parts will be replaced without cost to you within that period, provided the camera 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 service facilities.
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any camera which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period should be
returned to the dealer from whom you purchased the camera or to the manufacturer. If
there are no representatives of the manufacturer in your country, send the camera to
the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length
of time before the camera can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs
procedures required. If the camera is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and
parts replaced free of charge, and the camera will be returned to you upon completion
of servicing. If the camera 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 camera 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 camera 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 camera
for at least a year. Before sending your camera 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.
