LOUDSPEAKER PRODUCTS

FIVE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

Welcome to the family of McIntosh owners. This is the Warranty for your new McIntosh Loudspeaker Product (the

“Speaker”). Your Speaker has been designed to give many years of trouble-free performance. Nonetheless, failures do sometimes occur even with equipment as well-built as McIntosh’s. Therefore, please read this Warranty carefully, because it contains rights, as well as limitations, exclusions, and obligations, which in the event of such a failure may be very important to you. If after reading it thoroughly, you have any questions about

the Warranty, please do not hesitate to write or telephone McIntosh at the address or phone number shown on the back of this warranty. Please note that this is the only Warranty which McIntosh provides for your Speaker, and that no one, including your dealer, has any authority to either modify or expand upon this Warranty. If your dealer has offered or made any warranties or representations concerning the Speaker which differ from those contained in this Warranty, they are strictly between you and the dealer, and will neither be binding upon McIntosh nor change any of the provisions in this Warranty.

Scope and Duration of Warranty

Subject to the terms and conditions stated below, McIntosh Laboratory, Inc. (“McIntosh”) warrants to the original owner that this Speaker shall be free from defects in workmanship or materials for a term of five (5) years from the date when it was purchased from an Authorized McIntosh Dealer.

Limitations on Persons and Speakers Covered by this Warranty

This Warranty and all rights provided here under are limited to the original owner. In the event that the original owner transfers ownership of the Speaker prior to expiration of the five-(5) year term, this Warranty shall terminate in its entirety upon the date of such transfer. In addition, McIntosh does not warrant in any way Speakers which are purchased from anyone who is not an Authorized McIntosh Dealer, or which have had their Serial Numbers altered or defaced. Therefore this Warranty is void and inapplicable if this Speaker has been purchased from someone other than an Authorized McIntosh Dealer, or has had its original Serial Numbers altered or defaced.

Important Note Regarding Mail, Telephone, and Online Purchases

In order to insure the highest possible level of customer satisfaction, Authorized McIntosh Dealers are expressly prohibited from selling new McIntosh Speakers by mail, telephone, or the internet. Therefore, if you purchased the Speaker which is accompanied by this Warranty by mail, by telephone, or over the internet, your seller was not an Authorized McIntosh Dealer, and/or the Speaker you purchased is used and you are not its original owner. In any such event, this Warranty is void, as provided in the preceding paragraph, and any warranties, service agreements, or other representations of any kind which you may have received from your seller are binding solely upon your seller and not upon McIntosh. If you have been misled in any way on this subject, you should make immediate inquiry of your seller.

Geographical Limitations

This Warranty has been included with a McIntosh Speaker that is designed, intended to be sold and used only within the United States and Canada. Accordingly, this Warranty only applies to Speakers which are purchased in the United States or Canada, and only applies while such Speakers are used in the United States or Canada. Speakers purchased outside the United States or Canada, and failures occurring outside the United States or Canada, are not covered by this Warranty.

What McIntosh will do under the Warranty

In the event of any defect covered by this Warranty, McIntosh shall without charge provide all parts, materials, and labor necessary to restore the Speaker to its original specifications. After repair, McIntosh shall return the Speaker to its owner at the owner’s expense. In the alternative, McIntosh may at its sole option either replace the Speaker without charge, or if replacement is not commercially practicable or repair or replacement cannot be accomplished within a reasonable time, McIntosh may refund the purchase price of the Speaker, subject where appropriate to reasonable depreciation for actual use in accordance with applicable laws, in full satisfaction of its warranty obligations. McIntosh or its Authorized Service Agency will undertake to complete the repair and return of the Speaker as soon as circumstances permit, unless prevented by causes beyond their reasonable control.

Limitations on McIntosh’s Obligations under the Warranty

McIntosh’s sole Obligation under this Warranty shall be to repair or replace the Speaker, or at its option refund the purchase price, as provided for hereinabove. McIntosh

does not warrant against, nor shall it be liable for, any of the following: removal or installation charges; shipping expenses either to or from McIntosh or its Authorized Service Agency; loss of use; property damage of any kind; or other incidental or consequential damages or losses of any kind.

Note: Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the foregoing exclusions may not apply to you.

Parts and Occurrences that are not Covered by the Warranty

This Warranty does not cover any of the following: (a) glass panels, cabinetry, trim, or other appearance items (except where they are defective at the time of original sale and the Speaker is delivered for repair within the first thirty (30) days thereafter); (b) batteries, or damage to the Speaker caused by failure of batteries; (c) failures arising from accident, catastrophe, misuse, neglect, or failure to properly connect and operate the Speaker in accordance with the accompanying instructions; (d) failures arising from improper installation or removal of the Speaker; or (e) failures arising from any tampering, alteration, or attempted servicing of the Speaker by anyone other than McIntosh or an Authorized McIntosh Service Agency; and McIntosh shall have no liability or obligation of any kind with respect to any of the foregoing types of failures.

What the Owner must do to obtain service under this Warranty

To obtain service under this Warranty, the owner must at the owner’s expense arrange for any necessary de-installation of the Speaker, and deliver or ship the Speaker to McIntosh at the address below, or to an Authorized McIntosh Service Agency, properly packaged, prepaid, and insured at the owner’s expense. In addition, the owner must provide evidence that the Speaker is at the time of delivery within the scope of his Warranty, by either having completed and submitted to McIntosh on a timely basis the accompanying Warranty Registration Card, or by including the original sales receipt (photocopies are not acceptable) with the Speaker when it is delivered for repair.

What the Owner must Pay For

As noted above, the owner must pay any expense of removing the Speaker from its installation, and must pay any expenses for delivery of the Speaker to McIntosh or the Authorized McIntosh Service Agency. Upon return of the Speaker to the owner following repair, it shall be the owner’s responsibility to pay for the shipping charges incurred in return of the Speaker, as well as to arrange and pay for any re-installation which may be required. In addition, it shall be the owner’s obligation to pay for any repairs made to any Speaker for which the owner has neither completed and submitted the Warranty Registration Card at the time of purchase nor included the original sales receipt with the Speaker when delivered for service, at McIntosh’s or its Authorized Service Agency’s then-current repair rates.
