 Leica Passport Warranty - Leica Lifetime Sport Optics Passport Protection PlanOpticsPlanet.com is an Authorized US Dealer for
Leica products,
and all Leica products
we sell are covered by Leica's Factory
Passport warranty.
Leica provides full international warranty coverage for all its
products as outlined in the warranty cards supplied with and
specific to those products shipped to you from OpticsPlanet.com.
Since we are an Authorized US Leica Dealer, all
Leica Digital
Cameras,
Leica Binoculars,
Leica Spotting
Scopes,
Leica Laser Rangefinders, and
Leica 35mm Cameras
come with full Leica Passport Warranty. Each Leica Optics product shipped from
OpticsPlanet.com is supplied
with an international warranty card that outlines the terms of the
international warranty for that product.
All
Leica Digital
Cameras,
Leica Binoculars,
Leica Spotting
Scopes,
Leica Laser Rangefinders, and
Leica 35mm Cameras
sold by OpticsPlanet.com are officially imported into the U.S. by Leica USA,
and therefore
carry the USA Passport Protection Plan (for M and R Cameras and
Lenses) or the USA Lifetime Sport Optics Protection Plan for optics
covered under that plan. USA Passport-protected Leica products
sold by Optics Planet enjoy
additional coverage over and above the warranty coverage offered by
the international, or Leica factory, warranty. For
Leica Binoculars and
Leica Spotting
Scopes
covered by the
Lifetime Sport Optics Protection Plan, the coverage is, as the title
of the plan states, for the lifetime of the user.
Though the USA Passport Protection Plan is not available for
products purchased from non-U.S. authorized dealers, any
Leica agency worldwide will help you if you experience problems with your
Leica product, as all Leica products are covered under the
international warranty.
Leica handles the repair or
replacement of the product under the terms of the warranty is at its
discretion, but the customer's needs are always
the first priority. For your own protection, while traveling, carry
your
Leica warranty card or warranty registration (international or
Leica USA
Passport) so that you can present this verification to the agency in
question should you experience any problems during the warranty
period.
Leica Lifetime Sport Optics Protection Plan
Leica Camera Inc. (USA), warranties all
Leica compact and
full-sized Ultravid and Trinovid binoculars,
Leica Televid
Spotting Scopes and eyepieces, and
Leica Duovid series
binoculars, under its Leica Lifetime Sport Optics Protection Plan.
The Leica Lifetime Sport Optics Protection Plan provides protection
against manufacturer defects, functional failures, or any accidental damage to
the product, including breakage, water damage, or any accident, excluding fire,
theft, mysterious disappearance, deliberate damage, or any occurrence for which
other insurance protection is in force. Leica Lifetime Sport Optics
Protection Plan is not extended to accessories such as straps, cases, lens
caps, for covered products. Specifically excluded from this warranty are
Leica Geovid and Leica LRF RangeMasters or future products incorporating
electronic components. By returning the product to
Leica (including
the piece with the identifying serial number) with a check for $35 for shipping
and handling,
Leica will
repair or replace the product at no charge during the lifetime of the original
purchaser, following acknowledgement of registration by Leica Camera, Inc.
(USA).
Replacement of
Leica compact and
full-sized Ultravid and Trinovid binoculars,
Leica Televid
Spotting Scopes and eyepieces, and
Leica Duovid series
binoculars, if required, will be with a functionally identical or
like-featured product, either new or refurbished, as determined by Leica
Camera, Inc. That portion of the product bearing its
serial number must be included with the return. The Leica Lifetime Sport
Optics Passport Plan provides protection for any that affects the optical or
mechanical function of the product. Cosmetic or other signs of normal wear and
tear, on any external surfaces, including lenses, are not considered as
affecting optical or mechanical functions of the product. The Lifetime Sport
Optics Passport Protection Plan is only valid for eligible products imported
by Leica Camera, Inc. (USA) and purchased by USA residents through
Authorized Leica Camera Inc. dealers such as OpticsPlanet.com.
In short, as long as you purchase from an authorized
dealer like OpticsPlanet.com,
Leica will support you, no matter where you are, and in the
way that best balances your needs with their ability to provide the
best repairs on the equipment in question, but purchasing from
OpticsPlanet.com you get something very unique and special that very
few companies can offer - Leica Lifetime Sport Optics Passport
Plan.
Leica Gray Market and Non-USA Warranted Products
To assure that one receives full
Leica warranty
coverage and products guaranteed to be genuine
Leica, customers
are strongly advised to purchase
Leica only from
Authorized Leica Dealers such as
OpticsPlanet.com. Though a product
may be marketed as carrying a factory, manufacturer's, extended, or other type
of warranty, be certain that you are buying a genuine
Leica product
imported officially into the country of your purchase, and that it carries a
valid manufacturer's warranty.
Leica products
imported into the United States through Leica Camera Inc. (USA) are available
only from Authorized Leica Dealers, and
www.OpticsPlanet.com is one of them. Be aware that if you purchase a
Leica product from
a merchant who cannot verify that the product was imported by Leica Camera Inc.
(USA) or provide authentic documentation for the Leica USA Passport
Protection Plan (for Passport-eligible products) that you may be purchasing
a "Gray Market" product, that is, a
Leica product
that has been exported to markets outside the United States and then imported
through non-official channels into the U.S. "Gray Market" products do not
necessarily enjoy international warranty coverage, and will not be covered under
Leica USA Passport Protection Plan. For your full protection, always buy new
products through authorized dealers -

should be purchased only at your own risk and will not be supported by Leica
Camera, Inc. (USA) warranties or service.
