9.Warranty

Our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions generally carry a one to three-year warranty for parts and a one-year warranty for labor and travel related to warranty. Product sales to the forest products industry carry a three-year warranty for TriCam® sensors. Sales of ScanWorks® have a one-year warranty for parts. Sales of WheelWorks® products have a two-year warranty for parts. We provide a reserve for warranty based on our experience and knowledge. Our Off-Line Measurement Solutions generally carry a twelve-month warranty after the machine passes the acceptance test or a fifteen-month warranty from the date of shipment, whichever date comes first, on parts only.

Factors affecting our warranty reserve include the number of units sold or in-service as well as historical and anticipated rates of claims and cost per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of our warranty reserve based on changes in these factors. If a special circumstance arises which requires a higher level of warranty, we make a special warranty provision commensurate with the facts.
