For Products Purchased in the U.S.A.

Cobra Electronics Corporation warrants that its Cobra microTALK

®

radios

and charger, and the component parts thereof, will be free of defects in
workmanship and materials for a period of one year from the date of first
consumer purchase. This warranty may be enforced by the first consumer

Cobra will, without charge, repair or replace, at its option, defective
microTALK

®

radios, chargers, products or component parts upon delivery

to the Cobra Factory Service department, accompanied by proof of the date
of first consumer purchase, such as a duplicated copy of a sales receipt.

You must pay any initial shipping charges required to ship the product for
warranty service, but the return charges will be at Cobra’s expense, 
if the product is repaired or replaced under warranty. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which may
vary from state to state.

Exclusions: This limited warranty does not apply:

1) To any product

damaged by accident; 2) In the event of misuse or abuse of the product or
as a result of unauthorized alterations or repairs; 3) If the serial number
has been altered, defaced, or removed; 4) If the owner of the product
resides outside the U.S.A.

All implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness
for a particular purpose are limited in duration to the length of this warranty.
Cobra shall not be liable for any incidental, consequential or other damages;
including, without limitation, damages resulting from loss of use or cost of
installation. 

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

For Products Purchased Outside the U.S.A.

Please contact your local dealer for warranty information.
