WARRANTY

free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the original

WARRANTY REGULATIONS

• Warranty is enforceable only by the original retail purchaser.

• Warranty services will be furnished only if the product is accompanied by an original retail 
dealer’s invoice. Any product deemed eligible for repair or replacement by SM Pro Audio under 

the terms of this warranty will be repaired or replaced at SM Pro Audio’s sole discretion.

• If the product needs to be modified or adapted in order to comply with applicable 
technical or safety standards on a national or local level, in any country that is not the 
country for which the product was originally developed and manufactured, this 
modification/adaptation shall not be considered a defect in materials or workmanship.

• The warranty does not cover any such modification/adaptation, irrespective of whether it 
was carried out properly or not. Under the terms of this warranty, SM Pro Audio shall not 
be held responsible for any cost resulting from such a modification/adaptation.

• Free inspections, maintenance/repair work, and replacement of parts are expressly 
excluded from this warranty, in particular if caused by inappropriate use. Likewise, the 
warranty does not cover defects of expendable parts caused by normal wear of the product. 
Expendable parts are typically pots, potentiometers, switches and similar components.

• Damages/defects caused by the following conditions are not covered by this warranty: 
Misuse and/or abuse; Neglect or failure to operate the unit in compliance with the 
instructions given in the user or service manuals; Connection or operation of the unit in 
any way that does not comply with the technical or safety regulations applicable in the 
country where the product is used; Damages/defects that are caused by any other condition 

beyond the control of SM Pro Audio.

• Repairs and modifications performed by unauthorized personnel will void the warranty.

• Products that do not meet the terms of this warranty will be repaired solely at the buyer's 
expense. SM Pro Audio will inform the buyer of any such circumstance. If the buyer fails to 
submit a written repair order within 4 weeks after notification, SM Pro Audio will return the 
unit C.O.D. with a separate invoice for freight and packing. Such cost will also be invoiced 
separately when the buyer has sent in a written repair order.

CLAIM FOR DAMAGES

Failure of SM Pro Audio to provide proper warranty service shall not entitle the buyer to 
claim (consequential) damages. In no event shall the liability of SM Pro Audio exceed the 
invoiced value of the product.

OTHER WARRANTY RIGHTS

This warranty does not exclude or limit the buyer's statutory rights provided by national 
law, in particular, any such rights against the seller that arise from a legally effective 
purchase contract.
