Terms and Conditions of Warranty:
  • This warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of a product or component that should become defective under normal use, as outlined in the product description and product manual.

  • If, during the applicable warranty period, the product is found to be defective by Paul C. Buff, Inc., we will repair or replace the defective product with an equivalent model without charge for labor or parts.

  • This warranty will not cover deterioration or malfunction resulting from accident, act of nature, abuse, misuse, neglect, unauthorized product repair, shipping of the product, opening of or modification or failure to follow instructions supplied with product.

  • This warranty does not apply to any flashtubes, modeling lamps, batteries (except the VMB8.8A internal Vagabond Mini™ Lithium battery), or memory cards that may arrive with a product as these become exhausted based on normal use. Specifically with the Vagabond Mini™ Lithium system, as battery capacity is a function of the number of charge / discharge cycles and other factors, batteries are considered exhaustible and no warranty can be offered for batteries that have been depleted from heavy and frequent use or misuse.

  • The product must be returned to Paul C. Buff, Inc.™ for warranty service. For customers in the United States, warranty service includes return shipment via UPS ground to the original destination (where the equipment was sent to the original purchaser). Customers outside of the United States will be responsible for all shipping fees, duties, taxes and brokerage fees to ship the product to and from our offices.

  • Paul C. Buff, Inc.™ IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, OR PRODUCTS LOST, STOLEN OR DAMAGED DURING SHIPPING, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE. ALL LIABILITY OF Paul C. Buff, Inc. SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, AT OUR OPTION, OF ANY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

  • THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY MADE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

  • This warranty may not be altered other than in writing.
