AMX Limited Warranty and Disclaimer

AMX Corporation warrants its products to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use for three 

(3) years from the date of purchase from AMX Corporation, with the following exceptions:

Electroluminescent and LCD Control Panels are warranted for three (3) years, except for the display and touch 
overlay components that are warranted for a period of one (1) year.

Disk drive mechanisms, pan/tilt heads, power supplies, and MX Series products are warranted for a period of one 
(1) year.

AMX Lighting products are guaranteed to switch on and off any load that is properly connected to our lighting 
products, as long as the AMX Lighting products are under warranty. AMX Corporation does guarantee the 
control of dimmable loads that are properly connected to our lighting products. The dimming performance or 
quality cannot be guaranteed due to the random combinations of dimmers, lamps and ballasts or transformers.

Unless otherwise specified, OEM and custom products are warranted for a period of one (1) year.

AMX Software is warranted for a period of ninety (90) days.

Batteries and incandescent lamps are not covered under the warranty.

This warranty extends only to products purchased directly from AMX Corporation or an Authorized AMX Dealer.

All products returned to AMX require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number is 

obtained from the AMX RMA Department. The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of each box. 

The RMA is valid for a 30-day period. After the 30-day period the RMA will be cancelled. Any shipments received 

not consistent with the RMA, or after the RMA is cancelled, will be refused. AMX is not responsible for products 

returned without a valid RMA number.

AMX Corporation is not liable for any damages caused by its products or for the failure of its products to perform. 

This includes any lost profits, lost savings, incidental damages, or consequential damages. AMX Corporation is not 

liable for any claim made by a third party or by an AMX Dealer for a third party.

This limitation of liability applies whether damages are sought, or a claim is made, under this warranty or as a tort 

claim (including negligence and strict product liability), a contract claim, or any other claim. This limitation of 

liability cannot be waived or amended by any person. This limitation of liability will be effective even if AMX 

Corporation or an authorized representative of AMX Corporation has been advised of the possibility of any such 

damages. This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury.

Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or 

exclusion of incidental or consequential damages for consumer products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of 

the Limited Warranty may not apply. This Limited Warranty gives the owner specific legal rights. The owner may 

also have other rights that vary from state to state. The owner is advised to consult applicable state laws for full 

determination of rights.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY, AMX CORPORATION MAKES NO 

OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 

MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. AMX CORPORATION 

EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. ANY 

IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED BY LAW ARE LIMITED TO THE TERMS OF THIS 

LIMITED WARRANTY.
