Limited warranty coverage
Warranty service is only available from within the country where the products were originally purchased. You may be required to ship products, at your expense, to the authorized service facility for the country where the products were purchased. Kodak will repair or replace products if they fail to function properly during the warranty period, subject to any conditions and/or limitations stated herein. Warranty service will include all labor as well as any necessary adjustments and/or replacement parts. If Kodak is unable to repair or replace a product, Kodak will, at its option, refund the purchase price paid for the product provided the product has been returned to Kodak along with proof of the purchase price paid. Repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase price are the sole remedies under the warranty.

The limitations and exclusions of liability set forth herein apply to both Kodak and its suppliers.
You r rig ht s
