Limited Warranty
Valid only in the United States. AKG Acoustics warrants AKG products against defects in material
or workmanship for a period of two years from the date of original purchase for use, and agrees to
repair or, at our option, replace any defective unit without charge for either parts or labor. Important:
This warranty does not cover damage resulting from accident, misuse or abuse, lack of reasonable
care, the affixing of any attachment not provided with the product, loss of parts or connecting the
product to any but the specified receptacles. This warranty is void unless service or repairs are
performed by an authorized service center. No responsibility is assumed for any special, incidental
or consequential damages. However, the limitation of any right or remedy shall not be effective
where such is prohibited or restricted by law. Simply take or ship your AKG product prepaid to our
service department. Be sure to include your sales slip as proof of purchase date. (We will not repair
transit damage under the no-charge terms of this warranty.) Note: No other warranty, written or oral
is authorized by AKG Acoustics, Inc. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitation on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above exclusions and limitation may not apply to you.
