ImportantContents

Your Quest speakers are provided with an automatic Limited 90 Day Warranty coverage.

You have the option, at no additional charge, to receive Limited 3 Year Warranty coverage. To obtain Limited 3 Year Warranty coverage you need only complete and return the Certificate of Registration that was included with your speakers to Martin-Logan, within 30 days of purchase.

Martin-Logan may not honor warranty service claims unless we have a completed Warranty Registration card on file!

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

1)The appointed Martin-Logan 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 Martin-Logan 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 Martin-Logan distributor, subject to that distributor's local servicing policies, but all cost of repairs (parts, labor, transportation) must be born by the owner of the Martin-Logan product.

If you did not receive a Certificate of Registration with your Quest speakers you cannot be assured of having received new units. If this is the case, please contact your Authorized Martin-Logan dealer.
