LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT

Diamond Audio Technology, Inc. (DAT) warrants all DAT products to be
free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1)
year from the date of original purchase provided they are purchased
from an authorized DAT retailer in the United States.  However, the
effective warranty period will be three (3) years if the products were
purchased from and installed by an authorized DAT retailer.

What is covered: Parts and labor to effect repair or, at the sole
discretion of DAT, replacement of either any malfunctioning or
defective part(s) or the entire system should the system or any
component part(s) thereof fail to perform as designed.  Includes return
freight via ground transportation to destinations within the United
States.

What is NOT covered: Installation or setup and repair or replacement of
the system or any parts thereof which, in DAT’s judgment, fail or
become damaged as a result of negligence, improper use, abuse,
unauthorized modification or service, improper or inadequate
packaging during shipment, installation by a non-authorized dealer,
accident, or use for any purpose other than those for which this
product was originally intended, or where the model’s serial number
has been removed, altered or defaced.

Who is covered: Original purchaser so long as they reside in the United
States and can provide proof of the original date of purchase (e.g.,
store receipt) from an authorized DAT retailer.

OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES: Customers outside the United States
should contact their local sales office to obtain information on prices,
exchange unit availability, instructions, service and warranty/non-
warranty repairs.

Repair or replacement under this warranty is the exclusive remedy of
the consumer.  DAT shall not be liable for any incidental or
consequential damages for breach of any expressed or implied
warranty on this product.  Except to the extent prohibited by applicable
law, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular
purpose on this product is limited in duration to the duration of this
warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, or allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may
not apply to you.  This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you
may also have other rights that may vary from state to state.

HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE

In the event a DAT product should require servicing, you should (a) visit
an authorized DAT retailer or (b) call the DAT Service Dept. at  (866) 328
2834.  To be eligible for warranty service within a three (3) year period,
the accompanying receipt of original purchase from an authorized DAT
retailer must specifically note that dealer installation was provided.

Product returned for repair/service must be properly packaged and
clearly marked with the Return Authorization (RA) number issued by
DAT. If the RA number is not clearly marked on the package or no RA
number was issued by DAT, the product may be refused upon delivery.
DAT does not assume responsibility for lost or misdirected product.
