Warranty Policy
All PENTAX RICOH IMAGING 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 evi-
dence 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 altera-
tions 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 nonauthorized PENTAX RICOH IMAGING service facilities.
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any PENTAX RICOH IMAGING which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period 
should be returned to the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment or to the manufac-
turer. If there are 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 re-
quired. 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 equip-
ment 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 RICOH IMAGING 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 RICOH 
IMAGING returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge according to this proce-
dure 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 
equipment for servicing, please make sure that you are sending it to the manufacturer’s autho-
rized 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.
