Limited Warranty
(VALID IN THE UNITED STATES AND PUERTO RICO ONLY.)
LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below, this HITACHI ®
Wi-Fi Speaker product (the
"Product") is warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 1 year starting from the original date of purchase (the
"Limited Warranty Period") by the original purchaser ("Purchaser"). During the Limited Warranty Period, if the Product does not work properly due to a
defect in materials or workmanship, Hitachi will, at Hitachi's option, either: (i) repair the Product with new or refurbished parts, or (ii) replace the Product
with a new or refurbished product with equal or greater features and functions as the Product. If Purchaser rejects, refuses or otherwise does not
accept Hitachi's repair or replacement offer, this Limited Warranty shall be void and of no further force or effect. This Limited Warranty extends to the
Purchaser only and is not transferable. To qualify for coverage under this Limited Warranty, purchaser must notify Hitachi of a warranty claim during
the Limited Warranty Period by calling 800-HITACHI and must provide a dated sales receipt for the Product.
PARTS AND LABOR: There will be no charge for any replacement parts or labor required to correct a qualifying defect that arises during the Limited
Warranty Period. Any replacement part used to repair the Product may be, at Hitachi's option, a new or refurbished part, and such replacement part
will be warranted only for 90 days or the remainder of the original 1-year Limited Warranty Period, whichever is later.
SERVICE LOCATIONS AND RETURNS: Products must be transported or shipped to a Hitachi-designated service center (call 800-HITACHI for more
information). Hitachi will not be responsible for any costs of transporting or shipping the Product to Hitachi-designated service center, but Hitachi will be
responsible for the cost of return-shipping repaired or replacement Product to Purchaser. The purchaser must obtain pre authorization from Hitachi
before shipping any Product to Hitachi for replacement, and Purchaser must ship the Product with all shipping charges prepaid using the Product's
original box and packaging, including all original parts, written materials and accessories.
IMPORTANT WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS: This Limited Warranty specifically excludes any warranty coverage of any kind with respect to the
operation, performance, compatibility, functionality or accessibility of the "Hitachi Wi-Fi Speaker" App that is made available for download at no charge
in the Apple App Store and the Google Play store (the "App"). The App (including any updates thereto) is provided strictly on an "AS IS" basis and
without any express or implied warranties of any kind. Hitachi does not promise, and is not obligated or required, to ensure that the App will function
with mobile devices running any mobile device operating systems other than those specifically identified in the Product's specifications, regardless of
whether future versions or iterations of such operating systems are released by the third parties responsible for such operating systems. Moreover,
Hitachi does not warranty or guarantee that any third party services (e.g., Rhapsody, Spotify, Qualcomm TuneIn, etc.) accessible via the App will
always be available, operable or compatible with the Speaker or the App during or after the Limited Warranty Period, or that such third party services
will achieve any particular uptime or service level during or after the Limited Warranty Period, as such third party services are furnished, operated and
maintained solely by the third party owners of such services and not by Hitachi.
WARRANTY LIMITATIONS: This Hitachi Limited Warranty does not cover: (a) any Product that has been modified or repaired in a manner not
previously authorized by Hitachi in writing; (b) any Product whose serial number (if any) has been removed, altered, replaced, defaced or rendered
illegible; (c) any defect, malfunction, or failure caused by or resulting from non-authorized service, maintenance, repair or part replacements; (d)
damage resulting from abuse, misuse, mishandling, neglect or damage caused by exposure to hostile or unstable operating environments, such as
areas containing dust and/or smoke, or in any manner other than those identified as acceptable in the Product's Owner's Guide; (e) damage caused by
power surges, accidents, natural disasters/occurrences or any other events or circumstances outside Hitachi's control; (f) any Product used in any
manner inconsistent with the safe and proper set-up, usage and installation requirements and configurations identified in the Product's Owner's Guide;
(g) improper opening, tampering with, or modification of the Product or any Purchaser misadjustments of user-operated controls; (h) any obligation
related to the removal of Product from a custom cabinet or other specialized product installation; (i) product knobs, buttons, switches, batteries or
accessories; (j) damage caused by cleaning Product in any manner other than as specified in the Product's Owner's Guide; (j) normal usage or
ordinary wear and tear, including, without limitation, scratches or marks on the Product's exterior; (k) any damage to a Product returned to Hitachi or
any Hitachi-designated facility for repair or replacement that is attributable to improper packaging, mishandling or shipping by Purchaser; (l) any
Product purchased or serviced outside the United States (including Puerto Rico); (m) any Product that has been used for commercial or industrial
purposes; or (n) any Product purchased in non-new or non-factory-sealed condition, such as in "AS IS", "refurbished", "reconditioned," or "previously
owned" condition or any other similar condition. NO PERSON, AGENT, DISTRIBUTOR, DEALER, SERVICE FACILITY, OR COMPANY IS
AUTHORIZED TO CHANGE, MODIFY OR AMEND THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER. EXCEPT AS
PROVIDED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, HITACHI MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTY REGARDING THE PRODUCT OR THE APP. FURTHER,
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES RELATING TO ANY PORTION OF THE PRODUCT AND THE APP, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED BY HITACHI TO
THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PREMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. HITACHI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON
FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFIT, LOSS OF DATA, OR DAMAGE TO THE
PRODUCT OR ANY DEVICE ON WHICH THE APP IS INSTALLED THAT IS ALLEGED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM ANY DEFECT IN, OR
MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE OF, THE PRODUCT OR THE APP. BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN
IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS AND/OR THE EXCLUSION OF INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE
LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO EVERY PURCHASER. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY CONFERS SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING
CERTAIN OTHER RIGHTS THAT MAY VARY DEPENDING ON PURCHASER'S JURISDICTION. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF PURCHASER'S RESIDENCE. FOR QUESTIONS
