In order to implement the provisions of warranty repair, the Purchaser must first notify Seller in writing concerning suspected defects and then, if so instructed, ship the instrument to the designated facility, correctly packaged in an appropriate shipping container, for examination and servicing. For most products, Preventive maintenance and Service Contracts are available which provide overall continuing parts and labor coverage after the expiration of the original warranty term.
