Unless otherwise stated, new night vision devices sold by DARQ Industries LLC (hereby referred to as either DARQ Industries LLC or DARQ Industries) carry a transferable* (authorization required) ten year warranty on night vision monoculars and a five year transferable* warranty on night vision dual tube devices.
Factory systems and finished goods are subject to their manufacturer warranty. Pre-owned, trade-in, limited run, and other products may be subject to their stated warranty terms as noted in their descriptions and are not subject to the 10 and 5 year warranties. If no warranty is stated for a pre-owned, trade-in, limited run, or other non standard device then no warranty applies.
This warranty covers the housing and image intensifier of your unit against manufacturer/workmanship defects. This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, damage from use, modified or disassembled devices, devices with serial number or any part thereof altered, defaced, destroyed, or removed, or any condition or happenstance induced by an external variable. It is up to the sole discretion of DARQ Industries to determine and allow or deny any warranty concern or claim. In the event a concern is covered, we will either repair or replace the product or component with an equivalent, provided an equivalent replacement is attainable. If an equivalent replacement is not attainable we will make a substitution at our discretion and selection. We may also offer alternative options of equal, lesser, or greater value. If a lesser value option is selected we will offer a refund amount determined to be suitable to the cost difference at our discretion. If a greater value option is selected we will generate an invoice for the greater value amount. This shall be the full extent of coverage, no compensation may be sought in place. There may be varying timeframes in repairing or replacing a product or component. A timeframe estimate will be provided if your warranty claim is authorized. Bear in mind, this is an estimate and may vary in being either shorter than the projected timeframe or longer depending on various factors. Devices bearing our previous name are covered within the same scope of this policy.
This warranty does not cover devices, parts, components, labor, shipping, or any effect of these if any of the following are determined:
- Misuse or negligence
- Products used in an inappropriate manner
- Abuse
- Modified or altered products
- Products altered or repaired by anyone other than DARQ Industries
- Light exposure, laser exposure, over exposure
- Impact damage
- Use of improper battery, or rechargeable with improper voltage, or otherwise not acceptable
- Other external variables not described
- Discontinuance by the manufacturer
Night vision can be damaged from light exposure, lasers, and daytime use; regardless of pinhole cap (day cap, day filter) use. We do not advise storing your night vision with batteries installed. This will prevent accidental battery corrosion, accidental light exposure, or leaving your device on by mistake. It is the user’s responsibility to understand the capabilities and limitations of night vision to avoid damage. If you have any questions, please contact us. The majority of damage is due to simple mistakes. If you happen to damage a device, housing, or lens assembly we are able to remedy the condition via servicing or replacement. Cost for repair or replacement will be determined after a diagnostic is performed.
No other warranties will be applied other than this warranty.

Warranty Transfer
*To request a warranty transfer you must contact us with your order number, intensifier serial number located on the data sheet, and device serial number. We will then coordinate a device evaluation which you will need to send your device and data sheet in for inspection. There is no cost for a warranty transfer inspection. This must be done prior to transferring your device to the new owner. You must contact us requesting a transfer and obtain authorization prior to sending any shipments. The user/customer is responsible for any and all shipment and transit charges and liabilities. The purpose of the warranty inspection is to verify the device condition and function for the new owner to validate nothing has been altered or damaged. This provides both the buyer and seller with comfort in knowing the device is in proper functional condition as a means of additional buyer and consumer protection.
