SUMMARY OF WARRANTY
The Crown Audio Division of Crown International, Inc., 1718 West Mishawaka Road, Elkhart,
Indiana 46517-4095 U.S.A. warrants to you, the ORIGINAL PURCHASER and ANY SUBSE-
QUENT OWNER of each NEW Crown product, for a period of three (3) years from the date of
purchase by the original purchaser (the "warranty period") that the new Crown product is free of
defects in materials and workmanship. We further warrant the new Crown product regardless of
the reason for failure, except as excluded in this Warranty.
ITEMS EXCLUDED FROM THIS CROWN WARRANTY
This Crown Warranty is in effect only for failure of a new Crown product which occurred within
the Warranty Period. It does not cover any product which has been damaged because of any
intentional misuse, accident, negligence, or loss which is covered under any of your insurance
contracts. This Crown Warranty also does not extend to the new Crown product if the serial
number has been defaced, altered, or removed.
WHAT THE WARRANTOR WILL DO
We will remedy any defect, regardless of the reason for failure (except as excluded), by repair,
replacement, or refund. We may not elect refund unless you agree, or unless we are unable to
provide replacement, and repair is not practical or cannot be timely made. If a refund is elected,
then you must make the defective or malfunctioning product available to us free and clear of all
liens or other encumbrances. The refund will be equal to the actual purchase price, not includ-
ing interest, insurance, closing costs, and other fi nance charges less a reasonable depreciation
on the product from the date of original purchase. Warranty work can only be performed at our
authorized service centers or at the factory. We will remedy the defect and ship the product from
the service center or our factory within a reasonable time after receipt of the defective product
at our authorized service center or our factory. All expenses in remedying the defect, including
surface shipping costs in the United States, will be borne by us. (You must bear the expense of
shipping the product between any foreign country and the port of entry in the United States and
all taxes, duties, and other customs fees for such foreign shipments.)
HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE
You must notify us of your need for warranty service not later than ninety (90) days after expira-
tion of the warranty period. All components must be shipped in a factory pack, which, if needed,
may be obtained from us free of charge. Corrective action will be taken within a reasonable time
of the date of receipt of the defective product by us or our authorized service center. If the repairs
made by us or our authorized service center are not satisfactory, notify us or our authorized
service center immediately.
DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL & INCIDENTAL DAMAGES
YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM US ANY INCIDENTAL DAMAGES RESULT-
ING FROM ANY DEFECT IN THE NEW CROWN PRODUCT. THIS INCLUDES ANY DAMAGE
TO ANOTHER PRODUCT OR PRODUCTS RESULTING FROM SUCH A DEFECT. SOME
STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATIONS OF INCIDENTAL OR CON-
SEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY
TO YOU.
WARRANTY ALTERATIONS
No person has the authority to enlarge, amend, or modify this Crown Warranty. This Crown War-
ranty is not extended by the length of time which you are deprived of the use of the new Crown
product. Repairs and replacement parts provided under the terms of this Crown Warranty shall
carry only the unexpired portion of this Crown Warranty.
DESIGN CHANGES
We reserve the right to change the design of any product from time to time without notice and
with no obligation to make corresponding changes in products previously manufactured.

OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. No action to enforce this Crown War-
ranty shall be commenced later than ninety (90) days after expiration of the warranty period.
