Warranty information

All equipment is inspected and tested before shipping from the manufacturer. All parts are warranted to be new and free from defects in workmanship and material, under normal use to the original retail purchaser. This warranty limits manufacturer’s liability for defects in workmanship or materials for replacement of defective parts only. The manufacturer accepts no liability for incidental or consequential damages arisen from the use of any equipment, defective or not. This warranty is in lieu of all expressed or implied warranties and is extended only to the original retail purchaser. Manufacturer sales and service representatives are not authorized to waive or alter the terms of this warranty, or to increase the obligations of the manufacturer under the warranty. Parts replaced or repaired under this warranty are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period.

Labor is only provided by authorized service centers. If an authorized service center is not near you, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to take their machine to an authorized service center. International clients are responsible for all shipping needed for complete warranty. Freight charges and travel charges are not covered by the manufacturer.

The manufacturer covers up to one (1) year (365 days) of service labor at the manufacturer’s calculated hourly labor rate/repair time when performed by a manufacturer-authorized service provider. Ultimately, labor reimbursement costs are at the discretion of the manufacturer. At no time is the manufacturer responsible for travel time to complete on-call repairs. After one (1) year, the original retail purchaser is responsible for all labor costs with no manufacturer reimbursement. Shipping is covered up to 90 days for all warranty parts.

The original distributor must contact the manufacturer to follow correct RMA/warranty procedures. They must include a copy of the RMA Sheet enclosed in the box with the returned item. No returns shall be authorized unless the proper RMA procedures are followed. It is the responsibility of the distributor to repair the client’s equipment as soon as possible.

The manufacturer charges a 25% restocking fee for any items that are being returned to stock. Items must be new, unused, and free of damage and are only good for up to 30 days. After 30 days, the manufacturer does not accept the return of any items for a store credit.

Authorized warranty replacement parts need to come directly from the manufacturer. Any use of any other parts will void warranty. The manufacturer does not reimburse for parts used by client that were not supplied directly for the machine under warranty.

The client must contact the manufacturer prior to working on or changing out of any parts, etc. The manufacturer must issue an RMA Sheet containing approved labor time and replacement parts. Do not send parts or equipment back to the manufacturer without an RMA Number and approval. No labor will be paid for, nor parts cost paid for or reimbursed, that have not previously been approved by the manufacturer. All warranty work must be approved and authorized to qualify, and appropriate warranty procedures must be followed.

The warranty starts on the purchase date by the original purchaser from an authorized distributor, subject to proof of purchase. If proof of purchase cannot be identified, the warranty start date is ninety (90) days after the date of sale to an authorized distributor.
