13800-101-Rev. E
This product is warranted by Reichert, Inc. against defective material and workmanship under normal use for a period
of one year from the date of invoice to the original purchaser. (An authorized dealer shall not be considered an original
purchaser.) Under this warranty, Reichert’s sole obligation is to repair or replace the defective part or product at
Reichert’s discretion.
This warranty applies to new products and does not apply to a product that has been tampered with, altered in any way,
misused, damaged by accident or negligence, or which has had the serial number removed, altered or effaced. Nor
shall this warranty be extended to a product installed or operated in a manner not in accordance with the applicable
Reichert instruction manual, nor to a product which has been sold, serviced, installed or repaired other than by a
Reichert factory, Technical Service Center, or authorized Reichert Dealer.
Lamps, bulbs, charts, cards and other expendable items are not covered by this warranty.
All claims under this warranty must be in writing and directed to the Reichert factory, Technical Service Center, or
authorized instrument dealer making the original sale and must be accompanied by a copy of the purchaser’s invoice.
This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties implied or expressed. All implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for
a particular use are hereby disclaimed. No representative or other person is authorized to make any other obligations
for Reichert. Reichert shall not be liable for any special, incidental, or consequent damages for any negligence, breach
of warranty, strict liability or any other damages resulting from or relating to design, manufacture, sale, use or handling
of the product.
PATENT WARRANTY
If notified promptly in writing of any action brought against the purchaser based on a claim that the instrument infringes
a U.S. Patent, Reichert will defend such action at its expense and will pay costs and damages awarded in any such
action, provided that Reichert shall have sole control of the defense of any such action with information and assistance
(at Reichert’s expense) for such defense, and of all negotiation for the settlement and compromise thereof.
PRODUCT CHANGES
Reichert reserves the right to make changes in design or to make additions to or improvements in its products without
obligation to add such to products previously manufactured.
If, upon delivery, the outside of the packing case shows evidence of rough handling or damage, the transportation
company’s agent should be requested to make a “Received in Bad Order” notation on the delivery receipt. If within 48
hours of delivery, concealed damage is noted upon unpacking the shipment and no exterior evidence of rough handling
is apparent, the transportation company should be requested to make out a “Bad Order” report. This procedure is
necessary in order for the dealer to maintain the right of recovery from the carrier.
