1 Warranty
MKS Instruments, Inc. (MKS) warrants that for one (1) year from the date of shipment the equipment,
which is described above and manufactured by MKS, shall be free from defects in materials and
workmanship.
For the period commencing with the date of shipment of this equipment and ending one (1) year later,
MKS will, at its option, either repair or replace any part which is defective in materials or workmanship
without charge to the purchaser. The foregoing shall constitute the exclusive and sole remedy of the
purchaser for any breach of MKS of this warranty.
The purchaser, before returning any equipment covered by this warranty, which is asserted to be
defective by the purchaser, shall make specific written arrangements with respect to the responsibility
for shipping the equipment and handling any other incidental charges with the MKS Sales
Representative or distributor from which the equipment was purchased or, in the case of a direct
purchase from MKS, with the MKS home office in Andover, Massachusetts, USA.
This warranty does not apply to any equipment which has not been installed and used in accordance
with the specifications recommended by MKS for the proper and normal use of the equipment. MKS
shall not be liable under any circumstances for indirect, special, consequential, or incidental damages
in connection with, or arising out of, the sale, performance, or use of the equipment covered by this
warranty.
MKS recommends that all MKS pressure and flow products be calibrated periodically (typically) every 6
to 12 months) to ensure accurate readings. When a product is returned to MKS for this periodic re-
calibration it is considered normal preventative maintenance not covered by any warranty.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER RELEVANT WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTY AGAINST
INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT.
