WARRANTY AND CLAIMS
We warrant that any equipment of our own manufacture or manufactured for us pursuant to our
specifications which shall not be, at the time of shipment thereof by or for us, free from defects
in material or workmanship under normal use and service will be repaired or replaced (at our
option) by us free of charge, provided that written notice of such defect is received by us within
twelve (12) months from date of shipment of portable analyzers or within eighteen (18) months
from date of shipment or twelve (12) months from date of installation of permanent equipment,
whichever period is shorter. All equipment requiring repair or replacement under the warranty
shall be returned to us at our factory, or at such other location as we may designate, transportation
prepaid. Such returned equipment shall be examined by us and if it is found to be defective as
a result of defective materials or workmanship, it shall be repaired or replaced as aforesaid. Our
obligation does not include the cost of furnishing any labor in connection with the installation
of such repaired or replaced equipment or parts thereof, nor does it include the responsibility
or cost of transportation. In addition, instead of repairing or replacing the equipment returned
to us as aforesaid, we may, at our option, take back the defective equipment, and refund in full
settlement the purchase price thereof paid by Buyer.
Process photometric analyzers, process moisture analyzers, and sample systems are warranted
to perform the intended measurement, only in the event that the customer has supplied, and
AMETEK has accepted, valid sample stream composition data, process conditions, and electrical
area classification prior to order acknowledgment. The photometric light sources are warranted
for ninety (90) days from date of shipment. Resale items warranty is limited to the transferable
portion of the original equipment manufacturer’s warranty to AMETEK. If you are returning
equipment from outside the North America, a statement should appear on the documentation
accompanying the equipment being returned declaring that the goods being returned for repair
are North American goods, the name of the firm who purchased the goods, and the shipment
date.
The warranty shall not apply to any equipment (or part thereof) which has been tampered
with or altered after leaving our control or which has been replaced by anyone except us, or
which has been subject to misuse, neglect, abuse or improper use. Misuse or abuse of the equip-
ment, or any part thereof, shall be construed to include, but shall not be limited to, damage by
negligence, accident, fire or force of the elements. Improper use or misapplications shall be
construed to include improper or inadequate protection against shock, vibration, high or low
temperature, overpressure, excess voltage and the like, or operating the equipment with or in a
corrosive, explosive or combustible medium, unless the equipment is specifically designed for
such service, or exposure to any other service or environment of greater severity than that for
which the equipment was designed.
The warranty does not apply to used or secondhand equipment nor extend to anyone other than
the original purchaser from us. Should the Buyer’s technical staff require the on-site assistance
of AMETEK’s agents or employees for service calls covered by this warranty clause, the Buyer
shall pay travel time plus actual travel and living expenses.
THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN AND ACCEPTED IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION AND WARRAN-
TIES OF FITNESS OR OF MERCHANTABILITY OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH
HEREIN, AND OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON OUR PART. IN NO
EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE UNDER THIS WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER PROVISION OF
THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY ANTICIPATED OR LOST PROFITS, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES,
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, TIME CHANGES OR ANY OTHER LOSSES INCURRED BY
THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PUR-
CHASE, INSTALLATION, REPAIR OR OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT, OR ANY PART THEREOF
COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF FITNESS OR
OF MERCHANTABILITY, AS TO ANY OTHER MANUFACTURER’S EQUIPMENT, WHETHER
SOLD SEPARATELY OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH EQUIPMENT OF OUR MANUFACTURE.
WE DO NOT AUTHORIZE ANY REPRESENTATIVE OR OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME FOR
US ANY LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH EQUIPMENT, OR ANY PART THEREOF, COV-
ERED BY THIS WARRANTY.
