Standard Equipment & Accessories

We retain the right to change specifications or discontinue products without prior notice and without responsibility for incorporating such changes into equipment previously sold.

Warranty
We strive to maintain the highest quality standards in all products. We provide a warranty for these products against defects in workmanship or materials, and all our products retain a warranty that is stated in the product’s manual: typically, this is one year for parts and labor except for consumable items for which warranty varies from 30 days to six months. However, we hereby specify that no use or application of any product may be suitable or successful for a specific application and therefore we waive all liability in that regard. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer/user to apply the product in a manner consistent with its intended use.

We maintain competitive world wide pricing. Prices listed for standard items as described are net and subject to change without notice. Prices (in U.K. Pounds Sterling) do not include shipping charges. Formal quotations are valid for a period of 30 days unless otherwise specified. Purchases may be charged to your VISA, MasterCard, or American Express account. Purchase Orders may be emailed to sales@ResearchDevices.com
Quotations
We regard as invalid any special terms and conditions set forth by any other party, including purchasing, quotations, warranties or other statements. Our response to a quotation, purchase order or inquiry shall not be construed as acceptance of any conditions stated therein.

We reserve the right to add any taxes required by local law or ordinance. Institutions operating under tax-free conditions must state applicable license or contract number. Tax exemption certificates (e.g,. in the UK, VAT exemption certificate) should be emailed to sales@ResearchDevices.com. Equipment is shipped in adequate commercial packing.
