The Warranty

The Warranty

People are scared of warranties. Lots of fine print. Months of waiting around. Well, fear no more. This
warranty is designed to make you rave about us to your friends. It’s a warranty that looks out for you and
helps you resist the temptation to have your friend, who’s “good with electronics”, try to repair your
AudioControl Industrial product. So go ahead, read this warranty, then take a few days to enjoy the new
MP-200 before sending in the warranty card and comments.

“Conditional” doesn’t mean anything ominous. The Federal Trade Commission tells all manufacturers to
use the term to indicate that certain conditions have to be met before they’ll honor the warranty. If you meet
all of these conditions, we will warrant all materials and workmanship on The MP-200 for five (5) years
from the date you bought it, and we will fix or replace it, at our option, during that time.

Here are the conditional conditions:

1. You have to fill out the warranty card and send it to us within 15 days after installing the MP-200.

2. You must keep your sales receipt for proof of purchase showing when and from whom the unit was

purchased. We’re not the only ones who require this, so it’s a good habit to get into with any major
purchase.

3. The MP-200 must have originally been purchased from an authorized AudioControl Industrial dealer.

You do not have to be the original owner, but you do need a copy of the original sales slip.

4. You cannot let anybody who isn’t: (A) the AudioControl Industrial factory; or (B) somebody authorized

in writing by AudioControl Industrial to service the MP-200 equalizer. If anyone other than (A), or (B)
messes with the MP-200, that voids your warranty.

5. The warranty is also void if the serial number is altered or removed, or if the MP-200 has been used

improperly. Now that sounds like a big loophole, but here is all we mean by it: Unwarranted abuse is:
(A) physical damage (don’t use the MP-200 to level your projection TV); (B) improper connections (120
volts into the RCA jacks can fry the poor thing); (C) sadistic things. This is the best product we know
how to build, but if you use it to level your equipment rack, something might break.

Assuming you conform to 1 through 5, and it really isn’t all that hard to do, we get the option of fixing
your old unit or replacing it with a new one.

Legalese Section

This is the only warranty given by AudioControl Industrial. This warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have rights that vary from state to state. Promises of how well The MP-200 will work
are not implied by this warranty. Other than what we’ve said we’ll do in this warranty, we have no obliga-
tion, express or implied. We make no warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose.
Also neither we nor anyone else who has been involved in the development or manufacture of the unit will
have any liability of any incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages, including but not limited to
any lost profits or damage to other parts of your system by hooking up to the unit (whether the claim is one
for breach of warranty, negligence of other tort, or any other kind of claim). Some states do not allow
limitations of consequential damages.

Failure to send in a properly completed warranty card negates any service claims.

The warranty included with the unit shall supersede this plain-text version if there is any inconsistency
between the two.
