The above information is valid at the time of publication. Consult factory for up-to-date ordering information. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Argus Technologies Ltd. warrants all equipment manufactured by it to be free from defects in parts
and labor, excluding third party OEM materials (example: air conditioners, batteries), for a period of
two years from the date of shipment from the factory. For third party products the OEM’s warranty
shall apply. The liability of Argus applies solely to repairing, replacing or issuing credit (at Argus’ sole
discretion) for any equipment manufactured by it and returned by the customer during the warranty
period. The terms of the warranty are Ex Works (EXW) from Argus’ factory service location.
Argus reserves the right to void the warranty if:
(1) identification marks or serial numbers are removed or altered in any way,
(2) invoice is unpaid, or
(3) defect is the result of misuse, neglect, improper installation, environmental
conditions, non-authorized repair, alteration or accident.
Argus shall not be liable to the customer or other parties for any loss of profits, loss of use, costs for
removal or installation of defective equipment, damages or consequential damages based upon
equipment failure during or after the warranty period. There shall be no other obligations either
expressed or implied. Argus will not honor warranties for batteries and other third party products
without prior written Argus authorization.
Freight Policy
Customer is responsible for all shipping and handling charges (COD and freight collect will not be
accepted without prior approval from Argus Technologies).
Terms of Payment (North America)
Payment terms are net 30 days subject to prior credit approval. All other orders require payment
before shipping.
Terms of Payment (International)
Payment terms are subject to prior approval and are typically through Tele-Transfer.
Return Material Policy
Our RMA policy is designed to ensure prompt, efficient and high quality factory service. A Return
Material Authorization (RMA) number must be obtained before products can be accepted for
servicing by the Argus factory. For returns to an authorized service center (refer to “Authorized
Service Centers” for locations), please consult the individual service center for specific return policies
and instructions.
To obtain a RMA number for a factory return, customers must call the appropriate location with the
product serial and model number, as well as a brief description of the problem, shipment instructions
and billing details.
The original packing container should be used whenever possible. Both the shipping documents
and the outside of the box must have the RMA # clearly marked and the product shipped prepaid to
the Argus factory service center. Argus will endeavor to repair products within five working days of
receipt. Repairs to the returned product are warranted for a period of six months. A service charge
may be applied if no fault is found in the returned product. Argus will not accept products without an
RMA number.
