WARRANTY POLICY
All Pentax cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic
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 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

material or workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the
liability of the manufacturer or its representatives under all guarantees or

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

equipment or to the manufacturer. If there is no representative of the
manufacturer in your country, send the equipment to the manufacturer,

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,
the manufacturers representatives in that country may charge regular
handling and servicing fees. Notwithstanding this, your Pentax returned to
