Limited Warranty

Lafayette Instrument Company warrants equipment manufactured by the company to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year* from the date of shipment, except as provided hereinafter. This assumes normal usage under commonly accepted operating parameters and excludes consumable products.

Warranty period for repairs or used instrumentation purchased from Lafayette Instrument is 90 days. Lafayette Instrument Company agrees either to repair or replace, at its sole option and free of part charges to the customer, instrumentation which, under proper and normal conditions of use, proves to be defective within the warranty period. Warranty for any parts of such repaired or replaced instrumentation shall be covered under the same limited warranty and shall have a warranty period of 90 days from the date of shipment or the remainder of the original warranty period whichever is greater. This warranty and remedy are given expressly and in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and constitutes the only warranty made by Lafayette Instrument Company.

Lafayette Instrument Company neither assumes nor authorizes any person to assume for it any other liability in connection with the sale, installation, service or use of its instrumentation. Lafayette Instrument Company shall have no liability whatsoever for special, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind from any cause arising out of the sale, installation, service or use of its instrumentation. All products manufactured by Lafayette Instrument Company are tested and inspected prior to shipment. Upon prompt notification by the Customer, Lafayette Instrument Company will correct any defect in warranted equipment of its manufacture either, at its option, by return of the item to the factory, or shipment of a repaired or replacement part. Lafayette Instrument Company will not be obliged, however, to replace or repair any piece of equipment which has been abused, improperly installed, altered, damaged, or repaired by others. Defects in equipment do not include decomposition, wear, or damage by chemical action or corrosion, or damage incurred during shipment.

Limited Obligations Covered by this Warranty

1. In the case of instruments not of Lafayette Instrument Company manufacture, the original manufacturer's warranty applies.
2. Shipping charges under warranty are covered only in one direction. The customer is responsible for shipping charges to the factory if return of the part is required.
3. This warranty does not cover damage to components due to improper use or installation by the customer.
4. Consumable and or expendable items, including but not limited to electrodes, lights, batteries, fuses, O-rings, gaskets, and tubing are excluded from warranty.
5. Failure by the customer to perform normal and reasonable maintenance on instruments will void warranty claims.
6. If the original invoice for the instrument is issued to a company that is not the company of the end user, and not an authorized Lafayette Instrument Company distributor, then all requests for warranty must be processed through the company that sold the product to the end user, and not directly to Lafayette Instrument Company.

*The LX4000 and LX5000 Data Acquisition Systems have extended three (3) year warranties and a new LX6 DAS is warrantied, as described above, for five (5) years.

Cancellations

Orders for custom products, custom assemblies or instruments built to customer specifications will be subject to a cancellation penalty of 100%. Payment for up to 100% of the invoice value of custom products may be required in advance. Cancellation for a standard Lafayette Instrument manufactured product once the product has been shipped will normally be assessed a charge of 25% of the invoice value, plus shipping charges. Resell items, like custom products, will be subject to a cancellation penalty of 100%.

Repairs

Instrumentation may not be returned without prior authorization of Lafayette Instrument Company and a completed Return Materials Authorization Form. When you complete the form, or call Lafayette Instrument, you will receive a Return Materials Authorization. Your Authorization will be good for 30 days. Address the shipment to:

Lafayette Instrument Company
3700 Sagamore Parkway North
Lafayette, IN 47904, USA.

Shipments cannot be received at the LIC PO Box. Items should be packed well, insured for full value, and returned along with the Return Materials Authorization.
