SERVICE

Should you be using your MartinLogan product in a country other than the one in which
it was originally purchased, we ask that you note the following:

1 The appointed MartinLogan distributor for any given country is responsible for warranty

servicing only on units distributed by or through it in that country in accordance with its
applicable warranty.

2 Should a MartinLogan product require servicing in a country other than the one in

which it was originally purchased, the end user may seek to have repairs performed
by the nearest MartinLogan distributor, subject to that distributor’s local servicing
policies, but all cost of repairs (parts, labor, transportation) must be borne by the owner
of the MartinLogan product.

3 If, after owning your speaker for six months, you relocate to a country other than the

one in which you purchased your speaker, your warranty may be transferable. Contact
MartinLogan for details.
