Epson America, Inc. Limited Warranty
What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser that the Epson
printer covered by this limited warranty statement, if purchased and operated only in the United States,
Canada, or Puerto Rico, will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year
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: Should your Epson printer prove defective during the warranty
period, please call the Epson Connection
SM
at (562) 276-4382 (U.S.) or (905) 709-3839 (Canada) for
warranty repair instructions and return authorization. An Epson service technician will provide telephone
diagnostic service to determine whether the printer requires service. If service is needed, Epson will, at its
option, exchange or repair the printer without charge for parts or labor. If Epson authorizes an exchange for
the defective unit, Epson will ship a replacement printer to you, freight prepaid, so long as you use an address
in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. Shipments to other locations will be made freight collect. 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 printer 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 printer to Epson or its authorized service center, where the
printer will be repaired and sent back to you. You are responsible for packing the printer and for all costs to
and from the Epson authorized service center. When warranty service involves the exchange of the printer or a
part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. The replacement printer or part may be new or refurbished
to the Epson standard of quality, and, at Epson’s option, may be another model of like kind and quality.
Exchange products and parts assume the remaining warranty period of your original product covered by this
limited warranty.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty covers only normal use in the United States, Canada,
or Puerto Rico. Excessive, continuous use is not considered normal use; damage, maintenance or service from
such use will not be covered under this warranty. This warranty is not transferable. This warranty does not
cover any color change or fading of prints or reimbursement of materials or services required for reprinting.
This warranty does not cover damage to the Epson product caused by parts or supplies not manufactured,
distributed or certified by Epson. This warranty does not cover ink cartridges, ink supply units, or ink packs.
This warranty does not cover third party parts, components, or peripheral devices added to the Epson product
after its shipment from Epson, e.g., dealer or user-added boards or components. Epson is not responsible for
warranty service should the Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial number be removed or should the
product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse, improper
installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, and lightning,
improper electrical current, software problems, interaction with non-Epson products, or service other than by
an Epson Authorized Servicer. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced, you will be held
responsible for the costs incurred.
