The Warranty
People are scared of warranties. Lots of fine print. Months of
waiting around. Well, fear no more. This warranty is designed to
make you rave about AudioControl. It’s a warranty that looks out
for you and your client, plus helps you resist the temptation to
have your friend, who’s “good with electronics”, try to repair your
AudioControl product. So go ahead, read this warranty, then send
in the warranty card and comments.
“Conditional” doesn’t mean anything ominous. The Federal
Trade Commission tells all manufacturers to use the term to
indicate that certain conditions have to be met before they’ll honor
the warranty. If you meet all of these conditions, we will warrant
all materials and workmanship on The Architect for five (5) years
from the date you bought it, and we will fix or replace it, at our
option, during that time.
Here are the conditional conditions:
1. You have to fill out the warranty card and send it to us within 15
days after installing the The Architect.
2. You must keep your sales receipt for proof of purchase showing
when and from whom the unit was purchased. We’re not the only
ones who require this, so it’s a good habit to get into with any
major purchase.
3. The Architect must have originally been purchased from an
authorized AudioControl dealer. You do not have to be the
original owner, but you do need a copy of the original sales slip.
4. You cannot let anybody who isn’t: (A) the AudioControl factory;
or (B) somebody authorized in writing by AudioControl to service
the The Architect. If anyone other than (A), or (B) messes with
The Architect, that voids your warranty.
5. The warranty is also void if the serial number is altered or re-
moved, or if The Architect has been used improperly. Now that
sounds like a big loophole, but here is all we mean by it:
Unwarranted abuse is: (A) physical damage (don’t use The
Architect
tm
to level your projection TV); (B) improper connec-
tions (120 volts into the RCA jacks can fry the poor thing); (C)
sadistic things. This is the best product we know how to build,
but if you strap it to the front bumper of your Range Rover,
something might break.
Assuming you conform to 1 through 5, and it really isn’t all
that hard to do, we get the option of fixing your old unit or replac-
ing it with a new one.
Legalese Section
Warranty
This is the only warranty given
by AudioControl. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have rights that
vary from state to state. Promises
of how well The Architect will
work are not implied by this
warranty. Other than what we’ve
said we’ll do in this warranty, we
have no obligation, express or
implied. We make no warranty of
merchantability or fitness for any
particular purpose. Also neither
we nor anyone else who has been
involved in the development or
manufacture of the unit will have
any liability of any incidental,
consequential, special or punitive
damages, including but not limited
to any lost profits or damage to
other parts of your system by
hooking up to the unit (whether
the claim is one for breach of
warranty, negligence of other tort,
or any other kind of claim). Some
states do not allow limitations of
consequential damages.
Failure to send in a properly
completed warranty card negates
any service claims.
The warranty included with the
unit shall supersede this plain-text
version if there is any inconsis-
tency between the two.
