Two-Year Projector Limited Warranty and 90-Day Lamp Limited Warranty
What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail
purchaser of the Epson projector product enclosed with this limited warranty
statement that the product, if purchased new and operated in the United
States, Canada, or Puerto Rico will be free from defects in workmanship and
materials for a period of two (2) years from the date of original purchase.
This limited warranty applies only to the projector and not to the projector
lamp, which carries a limited warranty period of ninety (90) days from the
date of original purchase. For warranty service, you must provide proof of
the date of original purchase.
What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: If your product requires service
during the limited warranty period, please call Epson at the number on
the bottom of this statement and be prepared to provide the model, serial
number, and date of original purchase. Epson will, at its option, repair
or replace the defective unit, without charge for parts or labor. If Epson
authorizes an exchange for the defective unit, Epson will ship a replacement
product to you, freight prepaid, so long as you use an address in the United
States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. You are responsible for securely packaging
the defective unit and returning it to Epson within five (5) working days of
receipt of the replacement. Epson requires a debit or a credit card number
to secure the cost of the replacement product in the event that you fail to
return the defective one. If Epson authorizes repair instead of exchange,
Epson will direct you to send your product to Epson or its authorized service
center, where the product will be repaired and sent back to you. You are
responsible for packing the product and for all costs to and from the Epson
authorized service center. When warranty service involves the exchange of
the product or of a part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. The
exchanged product or part may be new or refurbished to the Epson standard
of quality, and at Epson’s option, the replacement may be another model of
like kind and quality. Epson’s liability for replacement of the covered product
will not exceed the original retail selling price of the covered product.
Exchange or replacement products or parts assume the remaining warranty
period of the product covered by this limited warranty. If Epson replaces the
lamp as part of the warranty service, the replacement lamp carries the limited
90-day warranty stated above.
In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions. Arbitration,
Governing Laws: Any disputes arising out of this Agreement will be settled
by arbitration to be conducted in Los Angeles, California, in accordance with
the commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association,
and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered
