WARRANTY
KODAK Professional DCS Digital Camera
THIS WARRANTY APPLIES TO EQUIPMENT PURCHASED IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Warranty Time Period
Kodak warrants your camera to be free from malfunctions and defects in
both materials and workmanship for six months from the date of purchase.
Warranty Repair Coverage
If this equipment does not function properly during the warranty period,
due to defects in either materials or workmanship, Kodak will, at its
option, either repair or replace the equipment, without charge, subject to
the conditions and limitations stated herein. Such repair service will
include all labor as well as any necessary adjustments and/or replacement
parts.
If replacement parts are used in making repairs, these parts may be
remanufactured, or may contain remanufactured materials. If it is neces-
sary to replace the entire system, it may be replaced with a
remanufactured system. If it should become necessary to repair or replace
a malfunctioning or defective system, the provisions of this warranty shall
apply to the repaired or replaced system until the expiration of 30 days
from the date of return, or until the end of the original warranty period,
whichever is later.
Kodak will also provide telephone assistance during the warranty period.

Limitations
Warranty service will not be provided without return of the Warranty
Registration card or dated proof of purchase. Please return the Warranty
Registration card within 30 days of purchase.
As a condition of warranty service, before sending in your unit to the
nearest service center for repair, you must first contact a Kodak represen-
tative for return authorization and instructions.
This warranty becomes null and void if, during shipment, you fail to pack
your camera in a manner consistent with the enclosed repacking instruc-
tions in an appendix.
This warranty does not cover the following: circumstances beyond
Kodak’s control; service or parts to correct problems resulting from the
use of attachments, accessories or alterations not marketed by Kodak;
unauthorized modifications or service; misuse; abuse; failure to follow
Kodak’s operating, maintenance, or repacking instructions; or failure to
use Kodak supplied items (such as cables).
KODAK MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Repair or replacement
without charge is Kodak’s only obligation under this warranty. Kodak will
not be responsible for any consequential or incidental damages resulting
from the purchase, use, or improper functioning of this equipment even if
the loss or damage is caused by the negligence or other fault of Kodak.
Such damages for which Kodak will not be responsible include, but are
not limited to, loss of revenue or profit, downtime costs, loss of use of the
equipment, cost of any substitute equipment, facilities, or services, or
claims of your customers for such damages.

In countries other than the United States, the terms of this warranty may
be different. Unless a specific Kodak warranty is communicated to the
purchaser in writing by a Kodak company, no other warranty or liability
exists beyond the information contained above, even though defect,
damage or loss may be by negligence or other act.
