The Warranty
People are scared of warranties. Lots of fine print. Months
of waiting around. Well, fear no more. This warranty is de
-
signed 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 register the information at www.audiocon
-
trolregistration.com and include your 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 Director
®
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 need to register your purchases of the The Director
®
with us by going to the AudioControl web site (www.audiocon
-
trol.com), click on the “Home Theater” tab and then go to the
warranty registration department and follow the directions.
Optionally, go to www.audiocontrol-registration.com.
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 Director
®
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 Director
®
. If anyone other
than (A), or (B) messes with The Director
®
, that voids your
warranty.
5. The warranty is also void if the serial number is altered or
removed, or if The Director
®
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
Director
®
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 replacing it with a new one.
Warranty
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 Director
®
will work
are not implied by this war
-
ranty. Other than what we’ve
said we’ll do in this warranty,
we have no obligation, ex
-
press 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 conse
-
quential damages.
Failure to register a proper
warranty information negates
any service claims.
The warranty included
with the unit shall supersede
this plain-text version if there
is any inconsistency between
the two.
