Limited Warranty – Marine Amplifiers (USA)
JL Audio warrants this product to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two (2) years
from the original date of purchase. This warranty is not transferable and applies only to the original purchaser
from an authorized JL Audio dealer. Should service be necessary under this warranty for any reason due to
manufacturing defect or malfunction, JL Audio will (at its discretion), repair or replace the defective product with
new or remanufactured product at no charge. Damage caused by the following is not covered under warranty:
accident, misuse, abuse, product modification or neglect, failure to follow installation instructions, unauthorized
repair attempts, misrepresentations by the seller. This warranty does not cover incidental or consequential
damages and does not cover the cost of removing or reinstalling the unit(s). Cosmetic damage due to accident
or normal wear and tear is not covered under warranty.
Products installed as original equipment by boat manufacturers are covered by the boat manufacturer’s
warranty, not JL Audio, Inc.
Warranty is void if the product’s serial number has been removed or defaced.
Any applicable implied warranties are limited in duration to the period of the express warranty
as provided herein beginning with the date of the original purchase at retail, and no warranties,
whether express or implied, shall apply to this product thereafter. Some states do not allow
limitations on implied warranties, therefore these exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
If you need service on your JL AUDIO product:
All warranty returns should be sent to JL Audio ’s Amplifier Service Facility freight-prepaid through an authorized
JL Audio dealer and must be accompanied by proof of purchase (a copy of the original sales receipt). Direct
returns from consumers or non-authorized dealers will be refused unless specifically authorized by JL Audio with
a valid return authorization number. Warranty expiration on products returned without proof of purchase will be
determined from the manufacturing date code. Coverage may be invalidated as this date is previous to purchase
date. Non-defective items received will be returned freight-collect. Customer is responsible for shipping charges
and insurance in sending the product to JL Audio. Freight damage on returns is not covered under warranty.
