and repairs or provide other proof of purchase satisfactory to Princeton
Instruments.

defective. With the exception of customers who claim a "technical issue" with
the operation of the product or part, all invoices must be paid in full in
accordance with the terms of sale. Failure to pay invoices when due may result
in the interruption and/or cancellation of your one (1) year limited warranty
and/or any other warranty, expressed or implied.
3. All warranty service must be made by the Princeton Instruments factory or, at our
option, an authorized service center.

Instruments factory or a Princeton Instruments-authorized representative for
repair information and/or extended warranty plans.
