Applied Biosystems Limited Warranty Statement
Limited Warranty
Statement
PE Corporation (NY), through its Applied Biosystems Group (“Applied Biosystems”)
warrants to the customer that, for a period ending on the earlier of 1 year from the
completion of installation or 15 months from the date of shipment to the customer (the
“Warranty Period”), the ABI PRISM™6100 Nucleic Acid PrepStation purchased by the
customer (the “Instrument”) will be free from defects in material and workmanship, and will
perform in accordance with the minimum specifications set forth in the Instrument User
Guide and/or the Instrument’s Product Specification Sheet (the “Specifications”).
During the Warranty Period, if the Instrument's hardware becomes damaged or
contaminated or if the Instrument otherwise fails to meet the Specifications, Applied
Biosystems will repair or replace the Instrument so that it meets the Specifications, at
Applied Biosystems expense. However, if the instrument becomes damaged or
contaminated, or if the chemical performance of the Instrument otherwise deteriorates due
to solvents and/or reagents other than those supplied or expressly recommended by
Applied Biosystems, Applied Biosystems will return the Instrument to Specification at the
customer's request and at the customer's expense. After this service is performed,
coverage of the parts repaired or replaced will be restored thereafter for the remainder of
the original Warranty Period.
This Warranty does not extend to any Instrument or part which has been (a) the subject of
an accident, misuse, or neglect, (b) modified or repaired by a party other than Applied
Biosystems, or (c) used in a manner not in accordance with the instructions contained in
the Instrument User Guide. This Warranty does not cover the customer-installable
accessories or customer-installable consumable parts for the Instrument that are listed in
the Instrument User Guide. Those items are covered by their own warranties.
Applied Biosystems obligation under this Warranty is limited to repairs or replacements
that Applied Biosystems deems necessary to correct those failures of the Instrument to
meet the Specifications of which Applied Biosystems is notified prior to expiration of the
Warranty Period. All repairs and replacements under this Warranty will be performed by
Applied Biosystems on site at the Customer's location at Applied Biosystems sole
expense.
No agent, employee, or representative of Applied Biosystems has any authority to bind
Applied Biosystems to any affirmation, representation, or warranty concerning the
Instrument that is not contained in Applied Biosystems printed product literature or this
Warranty Statement. Any such affirmation, representation or warranty made by any agent,
employee, or representative of Applied Biosystems will not be binding on Applied
Biosystems.
Applied Biosystems shall not be liable for any incidental, special, or consequential loss,
damage or expense directly or indirectly arising from the purchase or use of the
Instrument. Applied Biosystems makes no warranty whatsoever with regard to products or
parts furnished by third parties.
This Warranty is limited to the original location and electrical power connection, unless the
customer with written consent of Applied Biosystems arranges for relocation of the
instrument. This warranty is not transferable.
THIS WARRANTY IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AS TO THE
INSTRUMENT AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND IS IN LIEU OF
ANY OTHER OBLIGATION ON THE PART OF APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS.
