Epson America, Inc. Limited Warranty
Two-Year Projector Limited Warranty and 90-Day Lamp Limited Warranty.
What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser
of the Epson projector product enclosed with this limited warranty statement that the
product, if purchased new and operated in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico
will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of two (2) years
from the date of original purchase. This limited warranty applies only to the projector
and not to the projector lamp, which carries a limited warranty period of ninety (90)
days 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: If your product requires service during
the limited warranty period, please call Epson at the number on the bottom of this
statement and be prepared to provide the model, serial number, and date of original
purchase. Epson will, at its option, repair or replace the defective unit, without charge
for parts or labor. If Epson authorizes an exchange for the defective unit, Epson will
ship a replacement product to you, freight prepaid, so long as you use an address in
the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. 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 product 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 product to
Epson or its authorized service center, where the product will be repaired and sent
back to you. You are responsible for packing the product and for all costs to and from
the Epson authorized service center. When warranty service involves the exchange of
the product or of a part, the item replaced becomes Epson property. The exchanged
product or part may be new or refurbished to the Epson standard of quality, and at
Epson’s option, the replacement may be another model of like kind and quality. Epson’s
liability for replacement of the covered product will not exceed the original retail
selling price of the covered product. Exchange or replacement products or parts assume
the remaining warranty period of the product covered by this limited warranty. If Epson
replaces the lamp as part of the warranty service, the replacement lamp carries the
limited 90-day warranty stated above.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty covers only normal use in the
United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. Excessive continual use is not considered normal
use. This warranty does not cover consumables such as filters. This warranty is not
transferable. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the Epson label or
logo or the rating label or serial number be removed. Epson is not responsible for
warranty service 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, the use of non-Epson lamps, add-in cards or cables,
interaction with non-Epson products, or service other than by Epson or an Epson
Authorized Servicer. Postage, insurance, or shipping costs incurred in presenting your
Epson product for carry-in warranty service are your responsibility. Epson will pay for all
freight charges if you choose to send your unit to Epson for repair. If a claimed defect
cannot be identified or reproduced in service, you will be held responsible for costs
incurred.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES: THE WARRANTY AND REMEDY PROVIDED ABOVE
ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,

this Agreement will be limited to a refund of the price paid for the Epson products
covered by this Agreement. Any action for breach of warranty must be brought within

delays or for nonperformance due to causes beyond its reasonable control. Except as
provided in this written warranty, neither Epson nor its affiliates shall be liable for any
loss, inconvenience, or damage, including direct, special, incidental or consequential
damages, including lost profits, cost of substitute equipment, downtime, claims of third
parties, including customers, or injury to property, resulting from the use or inability to

theory. Some jurisdictions do not allow limits on warranties or remedies for breach in
certain transactions. In such jurisdictions, the limits in this paragraph and the preceding
paragraph may not apply.
