What
kind of Warranty comes with White's detectors?
[Menu]
White's warranties standard models from all defects in
materials and workmanship for two years transferable parts and labor. White's
two year parts and labor warranty often offers more warranty coverage than "limited
lifetime" or extended years of coverage. One must read the fine print carefully
when comparing warranties. Labor and high wear parts are the most likely areas
of cost in repair service.
The Full White's Warranty
is as follows:
If within two years (24 months) from the original
date of purchase, your White's detector fails due to defects in either material
or workmanship, White's will repair or replace at its option, all necessary parts
without charge for parts or labor. Simply return the complete detector to the
Dealer where you purchased it, or to your nearest Authorized Service Center. The
unit must be accompanied by a detailed explanation of the symptoms of the failure.
You must provide proof of date-of-purchase before the unit is serviced. This
is a transferable manufacturer warranty, which covers the instrument two years
from the original purchase date, regardless of the owner. Items excluded
from the warranty are nonrechargeable batteries, accessories that are not standard
equipment, shipping / handling costs outside the continental USA, Special Delivery
costs (Air Freight, Next Day, 2nd Day, Packaging Services, etc.) and all shipping
/ handling costs inside the continental USA 90 days after purchase. White's
registers your purchase only if the Sales Registration Card is filled out and
returned to the factory address by your dealer, soon after original purchase for
the purpose of recording this information, and keeping you up-to-date regarding
White's ongoing research & development. The warranty does not cover damage
caused by accident, misuse, neglect, alterations, modifications, unauthorized
service, or prolonged exposure to corrosive compounds, including salt. Duration
of any implied warranty (e.g., merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose)
shall not be longer than the stated warranty. Neither the manufacturer or the
retailer shall be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. Some
states however, do not allow the limitation on the length of implied warranties,
or the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages. Therefore, the above
limitations may not apply to you. In addition, the stated warranty gives you specific
legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state-to-state. The
foregoing is the only warranty provided by White's as the manufacturer of your
metal detector. Any "extended warranty" period beyond two years, which may be
provided by a Dealer or other third party on your detector, may be without White's
authority involvement and consent, and might not be honored by White's Electronics,
