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 electronics”, try to repair your
AudioControl product. So go ahead, read this warranty, then take a few days to enjoy your new SA-3051/
SA-3052 equalizer 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 the SA-3051/SA-3052
analyzer for one (1) year 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 purchasing the SA-3051/
SA-3052 equalizer.
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. The SA-3051/SA-3052 equalizer must have originally been purchased from an authorized AudioCon-
trol 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 writ-
ing by AudioControl to service the SA-3051/SA-3052 equalizer. If anyone other than (A), or (B) messes
with the SA-3051/SA-3052 equalizer, that voids your warranty.
5. The warranty is also void if the serial number is altered or removed, or if the
SA-3051/SA-3052 equalizer 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 SA-3051/SA-3052 equalizer to level your pro-
jection TV); (B) improper connections (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 replacing it with a new one.
Legalese Section
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 SA-3051/SA-3052 equalizer
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 inconsistency
between the two.
