Limited Warranty – Amplifiers (USA)
JL Audio warrants this product to be free of defects in materials and workmanship
for a period of two (2) years from the original date of purchase. This warranty is
not transferable and applies only to the original purchaser from an authorized
JL Audio dealer. Should service be necessary under this warranty for any reason due
to manufacturing defect or malfunction, JL Audio will (at its discretion), repair or
replace the defective product with new or remanufactured product at no charge.
Damage caused by the following is not covered under warranty: accident, misuse,
abuse, product modification or neglect, failure to follow installation instructions,
unauthorized repair attempts, misrepresentations by the seller. This warranty does
not cover incidental or consequential damages and does not cover the cost of
removing or reinstalling the unit(s). Cosmetic damage due to accident or normal
wear and tear is not covered under warranty.
Warranty is void if the product’s serial number has been removed or defaced.
Any applicable implied warranties are limited in duration to the period of the
express warranty as provided herein beginning with the date of the original
purchase at retail, and no warranties, whether express or implied, shall apply to
this product thereafter. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties,
therefore these exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
If you need service on your JL AUDIO product:
All warranty returns should be sent to JL Audio ’s Amplifier Service Facility
freight-prepaid through an authorized JL Audio dealer and must be accompanied
by proof of purchase (a copy of the original sales receipt). Direct returns from
consumers or non-authorized dealers will be refused unless specifically authorized
by JL Audio with a valid return authorization number. Warranty expiration on
products returned without proof of purchase will be determined from the
manufacturing date code. Coverage may be invalidated as this date is previous
to purchase date. Non-defective items received will be returned freight-collect.
Customer is responsible for shipping charges and insurance in sending the
product to JL Audio. Freight damage on returns is not covered under warranty.
