LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT –WARRANTY PERIOD: THREE (3) YEAR
1. Lake Shore warrants that products manufactured by Lake Shore (the "Product") will be free from
defects in materials and workmanship for three years from the date of Purchaser's physical
receipt of the Product (the "Warranty Period"). If Lake Shore receives notice of any such defects
during the Warranty Period and the defective Product is shipped freight prepaid back to Lake
Shore, Lake Shore will, at its option, either repair or replace the Product (if it is so defective)
without charge for parts, service labor or associated customary return shipping cost to the
Purchaser. Replacement for the Product may be by either new or equivalent in performance to
new. Replacement or repaired parts, or a replaced Product, will be warranted for only the
unexpired portion of the original warranty or 90 days (whichever is greater).
2. Lake Shore warrants the Product only if the Product has been sold by an authorized Lake Shore
employee, sales representative, dealer or an authorized Lake Shore original equipment
manufacturer (OEM).
3. The Product may contain remanufactured parts equivalent to new in performance or may have
been subject to incidental use when it is originally sold to the Purchaser.
4. The Warranty Period begins on the date of Purchaser's physical receipt of the Product or later
on the date of operational training and verification (OT&V) of the Product if the service is
performed by Lake Shore, provided that if the Purchaser schedules or delays the Lake Shore
OT&V for more than 30 days after delivery then the Warranty Period begins on the 31st day
after Purchaser's physical receipt of the Product.
5. This limited warranty does not apply to defects in the Product resulting from (a) improper or
inadequate installation (unless OT&V services are performed by Lake Shore), maintenance,
repair or calibration, (b) fuses, software, power surges, lightning and non-rechargeable
batteries, (c) software, interfacing, parts or other supplies not furnished by Lake Shore, (d)
unauthorized modification or misuse, (e) operation outside of the published specifications, (f)
improper site preparation or site maintenance (g) natural disasters such as flood, fire, wind, or
earthquake, or (h) damage during shipment other than original shipment to you if shipped
through a Lake Shore carrier.
6. This limited warranty does not cover: (a) regularly scheduled or ordinary and expected
recalibrations of the Product; (b) accessories to the Product (such as probe tips and cables,
holders, wire, grease, varnish, feed throughs, etc.); (c) consumables used in conjunction with
the Product (such as probe tips and cables, probe holders, sample tails, rods and holders,
ceramic putty for mounting samples, Hall sample cards, Hall sample enclosures, etc.); or, (d)
non-Lake Shore branded Products that are integrated with the Product.
7. To the extent allowed by applicable law,, this limited warranty is the only warranty applicable to
the Product and replaces all other warranties or conditions, express or implied, including, but
not limited to, the implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose. Specifically, except as provided herein, Lake Shore undertakes no responsibility that
the products will be fit for any particular purpose for which you may be buying the Products. Any
implied warranty is limited in duration to the warranty period. No oral or written information, or
advice given by the Company, its Agents or Employees, shall create a warranty or in any way
increase the scope of this limited warranty. Some countries, states or provinces do not allow
limitations on an implied warranty, so the above limitation or exclusion might not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you might also have other rights that vary from
country to country, state to state or province to province.
8. Further, with regard to the United Nations Convention for International Sale of Goods (CISC,) if
CISG is found to apply in relation to this agreement, which is specifically disclaimed by Lake
Shore, then this limited warranty excludes warranties that: (a) the Product is fit for the purpose
for which goods of the same description would ordinarily be used, (b) the Product is fit for any
particular purpose expressly or impliedly made known to Lake Shore at the time of the
conclusion of the contract. (c) the Product is contained or packaged in a manner usual for such
goods or in a manner adequate to preserve and protect such goods where it is shipped by
someone other than a carrier hired by Lake Shore.
9. Lake Shore disclaims any warranties of technological value or of non-infringement with respect
to the Product and Lake Shore shall have no duty to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless you
from and against any or all damages or costs incurred by you arising from the infringement of
patents or trademarks or violation or copyrights by the Product.
10. THIS WARRANTY IS NOT TRANSFERRABLE. This warranty is not transferrable.
11. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, neither Lake Shore nor any of its
subsidiaries, affiliates or suppliers will be held liable for direct, special, incidental, consequential
