Limited Warranty & Limitation of Liability
Each product from Fluke Corporation, Hart Scientific Division ("Hart") is warranted to be free from de
fects 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, dispos
able 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 specifications 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 cus
tomers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Hart. War
ranty 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 an
other 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 difficulty, 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).

sion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this war
ranty 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.
