Warranty Information
Helena Laboratories’ electronic instruments are warranted to be free from defects in workmanship. Liability under this warranty is limited to service or adjustment of the unit on-site or replacement of the unit, at the discretion of Helena Laboratories. On-site warranty service is provided at no charge during regular business hours, which are defined as Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, except national holidays. If service is requested to be performed outside of regular business hours and can be provided, the customer is responsible for labor and travel at Helena’s current rates. This warranty is effective for a period of six months (some instruments carry a one year warranty) from date of shipment to original purchaser, and does not cover faults caused by misuse, abuse, damage incurred in shipment, or acts of nature including but not limited to fires, floods, and electrical surges. This warranty does not cover damage due to malicious software, such as computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, etc.

Service Contracts
Service contracts are an effective method of insuring that your instrument is maintained to the highest standards. Several agreements are available, but if you don’t find one that suits your situation, we can design one just right for you.
Extended Warranty Service Agreement (EWSA)
This agreement extends the standard warranty coverage for instruments with six month warranties to a full one year and provides one scheduled preventive maintenance (PM) call. All provisions of the warranty remain in effect. Since during its first year of use an instrument experiences the greatest amount of “settle-in”, it is most important to have routine attention during that time. This contract is designed to provide that attention.
Consolidated Service Agreement (CSA)
This ‘blanket-protection’ agreement is the best way to prevent unplanned expenses should an instrument require emergency service. The Consolidated Service Agreement includes one scheduled PM calls as well as travel, labor and repair parts costs on all calls.
Comprehensive Replacement Agreement (CRA)
Designed for smaller instruments where factory service via overnight freight is more cost effective, this agreement offers the benefit of fast and easy instrument turnaround. Helena Laboratories will repair or replace your unit and pay the costs of shipping up to three times.

None of these agreements cover consumable item costs and some instruments may require pre-agreement service checkups at the customer’s expense.
