I 

IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATIONI PLEASE READ

Return Policy on Kits When Not Purchased Directly From Vectronics: Before continuing any

further with your VEC kit check with your Dealer about their return policy. If your Dealer

allows returns, your kit must be returned before you begin construction.

Return Policy on Kits When Purchased Directly From Vectronics: Your VEC kit may be

returned to the factory in its pre-assembled condition only. The reason for this stipulation is,

once you begin installing and soldering parts, you essentially take over the role of the device's

manufacturer. From this point on, neither Vectronics nor its dealers can reasonably be held

accountable for the quality or the outcome of your work. Because of this, Vectronics cannot

accept return of any kit-in-progress or completed work as a warranty item for any reason

whatsoever. If you are a new or inexperienced kit builder, we urge you to read the manual

carefully and determine whether or not you're ready to take on the job. If you wish to change

your mind and return your kit, you may-but you must do it before you begin construction,

and within ten (10) working days of the time it arrives

Vectronics Warrants: Your kit contains each item specified in the parts list.

Missing Parts:

If you determine, during your pre-construction inventory, that any part js

missing, please contact Vectronics and we'll send the missing item to you free of charge.

However, before you contact Vectronics, please look carefully to confirm you haven't misread

the marking on one of the other items provided with the kit. Also, make certain an alternative

part hasn't been substituted for the item you're missing. If a specific part is no longer

available, or if Engineering has determined that an alternative component is more suitable,

Vectronics reserves the right to make substitutions at any time In most cases these changes

Defective Parts: Today's electronic parts are physically and electrically resilient, and defective

components are rare. However, if you discover an item during your pre-construction

inventory that's obviously broken or unserviceable, we'll replace it. Just return the part to

Vectronics at the address below accompanied with an explanation. Upon receipt, we'll test it.

If it's defective and appears unused, well ship you a new one right away at no charge.

Missing or Defective Parts After You Begin Assembly: Parts and materials lost or damaged

after construction begins are not covered under the terms of this warranty. However, most

parts supplied with VEC kits are relatively inexpensive and Vectronics can replace them for a

reasonable charge. Simply contact the factory with a complete description. We'll process your

order quickly and get you back on track.

excluded from coverage by the Vectronics warranty. However, as a service to customers,

technicians are available
