                                                        ..........

                           (3). A PURCHASERS UNDERSTANDING.

A purchaser*, is deemed to be the person/organization named on the invoice, and/or includes any person who places an order on behalf of the purchaser, whether authorized to do so or not, will also be held responsible for that purchase.

As Australian Night Vision can only offer guidance to a purchaser, we therefore cannot and do not guarantee suitability of the product.

A purchaser must assure themselves that their choice of product will fulfil their own requirements BEFORE purchase, as those requirements vary greatly from user to user.

The purchaser must also be fully aware of the fact that all classes of IMAGE INTENSIFYING, THERMAL IMAGING & DIGITAL devices, performance WILL vary considerably under differing atmospheric conditions, and does NOT constitute faulty equipment.

Regardless of claims made by some, stating that thermal imaging is not affected by smoke, fog, rain etc., it is important to be aware that all of those situations will affect the performance of all grades of thermal imaging by varying degrees, dependent on the prevailing conditions. As it will with all other types of night vision products. 

Humidity, even atmospheric pressure will alter the performance to some extent.

It is claimed at times by various sources, that thermal imaging will “see through thick bushes etc., unlike other forms of night vision". 

Anything that completely shields an object/target or any part thereof, will prevent it, or that part, being seen with all optical devices.

More details and explanation of specifications used with all night vision & thermal imaging equipment can be found in the "Night Vision Information" pages on this site.

It is important to be aware that delivery times are estimated only, due to unforeseen situations in the time taken to obtain the Canadian Government Export Permits and international freight times, as well as most items are produced "to order" to suit specific customer requirements.

It should be understood that all products on this site will need to be returned to the manufacturer for repair during, and/or after the warranty period has expired and therefore may entail delays in servicing of products from the service centre. 

The purchaser should be aware they will be liable for the cost of freight and insurance to the manufacturer as per their (GSCI) warranty statement, as well as for any non-warranty repairs.

It is therefore understood by all parties that -                                            

THE PURCHASER HAS AGREED TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS PRIOR TO MAKING A PURCHASE.

                                                       ............                     

NOTE !

PRICES AND SPECIFICATIONS CAN CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

IMAGES ARE INDICATIVE AND THE PRODUCT MAY VARY SLIGHTLY.
