And now a word from the legal department.
THE WARRANTY
People are scared of warranties. Lots of fine
print. Months of waiting around. Well, fear no
more, this warranty is designed to make you rave
about us to your friends. It’s a warranty that looks
out for you and helps you resist the temptation to
have your friend, “...who’s good with electronics”,
try to repair your AudioControl product. So go
ahead, read this warranty, and then take a few
days to enjoy your DQS before sending in the
warranty card and comments.
“Conditional” doesn’t mean anything ominous.
The Federal Trade Commission tells all manufac-
turers to use the term to indicate that certain
conditions have to be met before they’ll honor
the warranty. If you meet all of these conditions,
we will warrant all materials and workmanship
on your DQS for one year from the date you
bought it (five years if it is installed by an autho-
rized United States AudioControl dealer). We will
fix or replace it, at our option, during that time.
Here are the conditional conditions:
1. You have to fill out the warranty card and send
it to us within 15 days after purchasing your DQS.
2. You must keep your sales receipt for proof of
purchase showing when and from whom the unit
was bought. We’re not the only ones who require
this, so it’s a good habit to get into with any major
purchase.
3. Your DQS must have originally been pur-
chased from an authorized AudioControl dealer.
You do not have to be the original owner, but you
do need a copy of the original sales slip.
4. You cannot let anybody who isn’t (A) the
AudioControl factory; (B) somebody authorized
in writing by AudioControl to service your DQS.
If anyone other than (A) or (B) messes with your
DQS, that voids your warranty.
5. The warranty is also void if the serial number
is altered or removed, or if your DQS has been used
improperly. Now that sounds like a big loophole,
but here is all we mean by it.
Unwarranted abuse is (A) physical damage
(don’t use the DQS for a jack stand); (B) improper
connections (120 volts into the power jack can fry
the poor thing); (C) sadistic things. This is the best
mobile product we know how to build, but if you
mount it to the front bumper of your car, some-
thing will go wrong.
