And now a word from the legal department...
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 us to your friends. It’s a
warranty that looks out for you and helps you resist the
temptation to have your friend, “...who’s good with electron-
ics”, try to repair your AudioControl product. So go ahead,
read this warranty, and then take a few days to enjoy EQS
before sending 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 your EQS for one year from the date you bought it (five
years if it is installed by an authorized United States Audio-
Control dealer). 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 purchasing your EQS.
2. You must keep your sales receipt for proof of purchase,
showing when and from whom the unit was bought. We’re
not the only ones who require this, so it’s a good habit to get
into with any major purchase.
3. Your EQS 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; (B) somebody authorized in writing by AudioControl
to service your EQS. If anyone other than (A) or (B) messes
with your EQS, that voids your warranty.
5. The warranty is also void if the serial number is
altered
or removed
, or if EQS 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
EQS for a jack stand); (B) improper connections (120 volts into
the power jack can fry the poor thing); (C) sadistic things.
