LIMITED 2-YEAR WARRANTY

SpeakerCraft Inc. warrants to the original retail purchaser 

only

 that this SpeakerCraft product will be free from defects in 

materials and workmanship for a period of two years, provided the product was purchased from a SpeakerCraft Authorized 
Dealer. 

Defective products must be shipped, together with proof of purchase, prepaid insured to the SpeakerCraft Authorized 
Dealer from whom they were purchased, or to the SpeakerCraft factory at the address listed on this installation 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 SpeakerCraft Authorized Dealer, it is determined that the unit was defective in materi-
als or workmanship at any time during this warranty period, SpeakerCraft or the SpeakerCraft Authorized 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 cannot be repaired effectively, SpeakerCraft, at its sole option, may replace the unit with a current model of equal or 
greater 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, SpeakerCraft assumes no responsibility or liability for such modification. All 
replaced parts and product become the property of SpeakerCraft Inc. 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 SpeakerCraft. 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 SpeakerCraft be liable 
for any incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the product, even if SpeakerCraft Inc.   
or a SpeakerCraft Inc. Authorized 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.
