This warranty covers only the actual defects within the products
themselves. IT DOES NOT cover costs of installation in (or removal
from) a fixed installation, or normal setup, claims based on any
misrepresentation by the seller, or performance variations resulting
from installation related circumstances such as signal quality, AC
power or incompatibilities with other system components.

During the warranty period, Aperion Audio will, at its option, either
repair the defect, or replace the defective product, or the defective
parts, or components thereof with the then current
product/component in use by Aperion Audio, at no charge to the
owner for parts and labor covered by this warranty. If necessary
repairs are not covered by this warranty, or if a unit is examined
which is not in need of repair, you will be charged for the repairs
and/or the examination.

If non-warranted repairs are needed, we will notify you of the
estimated cost and ask for your authorization to perform said
repairs. You must pay shipping charges incurred in getting your
product to the factory. We will pay the return shipping charges
if the repairs are covered by the warranty. Please save the original
shipping cartons as the unit MUST be returned in the original
carton and packing. (Replacement cartons are available at a
modest charge.)
