WARRANTY POLICY
All Asahi 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 has not been abused, altered, or
operated contrary to instructions. Because the tolerances, quality, and design compatibility of
lenses other than Pentax-Takumar lenses are beyond our control, 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 any 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.
PROCEDURE DURING 12-MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD
Any Asahi 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 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 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 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 Asahi 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 manufacturers representatives in that country.
Notwithstanding this, your Asahi 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 are to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of
purchase when required, please keep the receipts 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 accredited
repair shops, unless you are sending it directly to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation
of the service charge, and only after you accept the quoted service charge, instruct the service
station to proceed with the servicing required, or send the equipment for servicing, if not yet
delivered.
