Upon completion of the service, the instrument shall be returned to the First Owner, shipping and insurance to be paid by the First Owner. In the event it is determined that the asserted defect is not covered by or is excluded from this Limited Warranty, the instrument shall be returned without repairs or replacement, shipping and insurance to be paid by the First Owner.
