The PASCO Promise of Learning

90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee

We are confident that PASCO solutions will help your students achieve more success in science education. However, if you are not satisfied that your students are more engaged and learning more effectively, you may return your purchase for a full refund within 90 days of purchase. We do not want you spending precious budget dollars on something you won't use. Certain exceptions apply, such as software that has been opened, digital downloads, e-books, and radioactive sources. These items may not be returned for credit. See instructions for Returns at the bottom of this page.

5-year Warranty for Education

Unless otherwise stated, PASCO-branded products are covered by a 5-year limited warranty from ship date against defects in material and workmanship. The PASCO warranty does not extend to rechargeable batteries contained inside products or to any product containing a touch screen, products that have been subject to abuse, neglect, accident, and improper installation, or products that have been repaired or altered outside of our factory. Consumables and limited-life products (such as pH probes, ezSamples, membranes, fast-response temperature probes, alkaline batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, 9 Volt), chemical solutions, software, printed materials, etc.) are excluded from the 5-year warranty, but they do fall under the 90-day Satisfaction Guarantee. Product-specific and additional warranty information is available upon request.

PASCO 5-Year Warranty

Rechargeable Battery (2) Year Limited Warranty

PASCO warrants rechargeable batteries built into new products and replacement rechargeable batteries to be free from defects in workmanship and materials under normal use for a period of (2) years from the date of purchase. It is normal for battery life, defined as the amount of time a device runs before it needs to be recharged, to decrease over time. This is not considered a defect in workmanship or materials. Please contact PASCO Technical Support for replacement battery information.

SPARK LX and LXi

The SPARK LX and SPARK LXi (products containing touch screens) carry a limited warranty for a period of 3 years from delivery date against defects in material and workmanship. This limited warranty applies only to hardware components of the SPARK LX and SPARK LXi that are not subject to accident, misuse, neglect, fire or other external damage. This warranty can also be voided by unauthorized use, alterations or repair.

Force Platforms

When used exclusively for Educational Purposes, all PASCO Force Platforms (PS-3229, PS-3230, PS-2141, & PS-2142) fall under the 5-Year Warranty for Education stated above. If used in athletic-related diagnostics and/or training (a non-educational application), all PASCO Force Platforms carry a limited warranty of 1 year from delivery date against defects in material and workmanship. This limited warranty does not apply to any PASCO Force Platforms subject to accident, misuse, neglect, fire or other external damage. Other restrictions apply per the "Designed for Education" section below, specifically "They should not be used in any apparatus involved with life support, patient diagnosis, or industrial control."
