DESERVE 5 STAR WARRANTIES!

5.1_hero_03.jpg

All Hathorn® Corporation products come with a One Year Limited Warranty against manufacturers defects on all parts and labor.

1. Limited Warranty Coverage.

This Limited Warranty provides one full year of coverage under our manufacturer’s standard new product warranty.  Hathorn® Corporation warrants to the original purchaser of our products that the product shall function as designed for a period of one year from the original date of purchase under normal and proper usage. This one-year Limited Warranty covers malfunctions resulting from defects in materials or workmanship only.  If a Hathorn® product fails to function as designed under normal and proper usage due to defects in materials or workmanship during the period of this Limited Warranty, Hathorn® will repair, adjust or replace defective parts as Hathorn® deems appropriate. 

This Limited Warranty applies only to Hathorn® sewer and gas camera systems that are distributed in the United States, Canada and Australia that are purchased from Hathorn® or an authorized Hathorn® dealer.  The Limited Warranty is not transferable. This Limited Warranty does not apply to Hathorn® branded products imported and/or sold by unauthorized dealers, distributors or other sellers.

In order to handle any warranty claim with a minimum of delay, please follow this procedure:

  1. Return the item to your local wholesaler and have them notify us immediately with complete information on the problem; or visit our website and fill out an electronic RMA form.  Instruction must be followed when returning items to us.

  2. We must have the serial number, the date of purchase, and the name of the wholesaler from whom your machine was purchased.

  3. Ship freight prepaid, and you will be compensated for these charges if it is determined that the part is defective. If repairs are necessary due to conditions beyond our control, or if the item is out of warranty, we will do the work at the lowest possible cost, but a charge will be made.

 

This one year Limited Warranty does not cover damage or malfunctions stemming from other than normal and proper usage or from products not meeting the requirements of end users. This Limited Warranty also does not cover the following: (a) intentional or accidental misuse or abuse (including, but not limited to, damage to push rod from excessive force), (b) failure to follow operating or maintenance instructions, (c) repairs by any individual or entity other than an authorized Hathorn® repair center, (d) use of product components, accessories or consumables not manufactured by Hathorn® (e) product tampering, (f) droppage, (g) battery leakage if equipped, (h) media cards. (i) excessive light damage to the camera element or (j) damage due to negligence, rust, exposure to corrosive chemicals, accidents, or alteration from original design or damage resulting from being used in extreme environments or due to weather events. Routine cleaning and normal cosmetic wear and tear are not covered by this Limited Warranty.
