9.0  LIMITED WARRANTY 

If any consumer product from Audio Authority fails due to defects in materials or workmanship within one year from the 

date of the original sale to the end-user, Audio Authority guarantees that we will replace the defective product at no cost.  

Freight charges for the replacement unit will be paid by Audio Authority (ground service only).  A copy of the invoice 

showing the item number and date of purchase (proof-of-purchase) must be submitted with the defective unit to constitute 

a valid in-warranty claim.

Units that fail after the warranty period has expired may be returned to the factory for repair at a nominal charge, if not 

damaged beyond the point of repair.  All freight charges for out-of-warranty returns for repair are the responsibility of the 

customer.  Units returned for repair must have a Return Authorization Number assigned by the factory.

This is a limited warranty and is not applicable for products which, in our opinion, have been damaged, altered, abused, 

misused, or improperly installed.  Audio Authority makes no other warranties either expressed or implied, including 

limitation warranties as to merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.  Additionally, there are no allowances or 

credits available for service work or installation performed in the field by the end user.

immediately on a defect-exchange basis and a Return Authorization Number will be issued for the return of the defective 

product.  Replacement units are sent out at the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price which is debited to the Customer’s 

Credit Card at the time of shipment.  Once we receive the defective unit back at the factory, it will be evaluated under the 

conditions of this warranty and if found to be in-warranty, a full credit will be issued to the Customer’s Credit Card.  Return 

freight charges for the defective unit are the customer’s responsibility.  Please contact our Technical Support Department
