importing retailer or distributor has accepted the responsibility 
for warranty of products sold by that retailer or distributor.

importing retailer or distributor from whom you purchased your 
product. In the unlikely event of service required beyond the 
capability of the importer, PS Audio will fulfill the conditions of 
the warranty. Such product must be returned at the owner’s 
expense to the PS Audio factory, together with a photocopy 
of the bill of sale for that product, a detailed description of the
