Limited Warranty & Limitation of Liability

Each product from Fluke Corporation, Hart Scientic Division ("Hart") is warranted to be free
from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period
is one year(s) for the Platinum Resistance Thermometer. The warranty period begins on the date
of the shipment. Parts, product repairs, and services are warranted for 90 days. The warranty ex­tends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of a Hart authorized reseller, and does not
apply to fuses, disposable batteries or to any other product, which in Hart's opinion, has been
misused, altered, neglected, or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or
handling. Hart warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional
specications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Hart
does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption. Hart does not
warrant calibrations on the Platinum Resistance Thermometer.

Hart authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user
customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Hart.
Warranty support is available if product is purchased through a Hart authorized sales outlet or
Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Hart reserves the right to invoice Buyer for
importation costs of repairs/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submit­ted for repair in another country.

Hart's warranty obligation is limited, at Hart's option, to refund of the purchase price, free of
charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Hart authorized
service center within the warranty period.

To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Hart authorized service center or send the prod­uct, with a description of the difculty, postage, and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination), to
the nearest Hart authorized service center. Hart assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following
warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destina­tion). If Hart determines that the failure was caused by misuse, alteration, accident or abnormal
condition or operation or handling, Hart will provide an estimate or repair costs and obtain
authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to the
Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation
charges (FOB Shipping Point).

THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PAR­TICULAR PURPOSE. HART SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL. OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF
DATA, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BASED ON CON­TRACT, TORT, RELIANCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY.

Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of
this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision.
