LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE (U.S. ONLY)

Sonance warrants to the original retail purchaser only that this
Sonance product will be free from defects in materials and workman-
ship for a period of five (5) years, provided the product was purchased
from a Sonance Authorized Dealer.

Defective products must be shipped, together with proof of
purchase, prepaid insured to the Authorized Sonance Dealer 
from whom they were purchased, or to the Sonance factory at the address

listed on this instruction manual. Freight collect shipments will 
be refused. It is preferable to ship this product in the original shipping
container to lessen the chance of transit damage. In any case, the risk or
loss or damage in transit is to be borne by the purchaser. If, upon 
examination at the factory or Authorized Sonance Dealer, it is 
determined that the unit was defective in materials or workmanship at
any time during this warranty period, Sonance or the Authorized
Sonance Dealer will, at its option, repair or replace this product at no
additional charge, except as set forth below. If this model is no longer
available and can not be repaired effectively, Sonance, at is sole option,
may replace the unit with a current model of equal or grater value. In
some cases where a new model is substituted, a modification to the
mounting surface may be required. If mounting surface modification is
required, Sonance assumes no responsibility or liability for such modifi-
cation. All replaced parts and product become the property of Sonance.
Products replaced or repaired under this warranty will be returned to the
original retail purchaser, within a reasonable time, freight prepaid.

This Warranty does not include service or parts to repair damage caused
by accident, disaster, misuse, abuse, negligence, inadequate packing or
shipping procedures, commercial use, voltage inputs in excess of the
rated maximum of the unit, or service, repair or modification of the
product which has not been authorized or approved by Sonance. This
Warranty also excludes normal cosmetic deterioration caused by 
environmental conditions. This Warranty will be void if the Serial
Number on the product has been removed, tampered-with or defaced.
This Warranty is in lieu of all other expressed warranties. If the product
is defective in materials or workmanship as warranted above, the 
purchaser’s sole remedy shall be repair or replacement as provided above.
In no event will Sonance be liable for any incidental or consequential
damages arising out of the use or inability to use the product, even 
if Sonance or a Authorized Sonance Dealer has been advised of the 
possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any other party.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential 
damages, so the above limitation and exclusion may not apply. All implied
warranties on the product are limited to the duration of this expressed
Warranty. Some states do not allow limitation on the length of an implied
warranty. If the original retail purchaser resides in such a state, this 
limitation does not apply.

EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS

The warranty set forth above is in lieu of all other warranties, express or
implied, of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise.
The warranty is limited to Sonance products registered herein and 
specifically excludes any damage to loudspeakers and other allied or 
associated equipment which may result for any reason from use with this
product. Sonance shall, in no event, be liable for incidental or consequential
damages arising from any breach of this warranty or otherwise. This 
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights
which vary from state to state.
