1. LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE

This Limited Warranty provides one full year of coverage under our manufacturer’s standard new product warranty.  Hathorn® Corporation warrants to the original purchaser of our products that the product shall function as designed for a period of one year from the original date of purchase under normal and proper usage. This one-year Limited Warranty covers malfunctions resulting from defects in materials or workmanship only.  If a Hathorn® product fails to function as designed under normal and proper usage due to defects in materials or workmanship during the period of this Limited Warranty, Hathorn® will repair, adjust or replace defective parts as Hathorn® deems appropriate. 

​

This Limited Warranty applies only to Hathorn® sewer and gas camera systems that are distributed in the United States, Canada and Australia that are purchased from Hathorn® or an authorized Hathorn® dealer.  The Limited Warranty is not transferable.
