Warranty for consumers from the USA

MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY STATEMENT (US)

The service policies and warranty statements on this page are relevant for all Sennheiser products and Sennheiser distributed brands. Sennheiser Electronic Corporation (referred to as SEC or Sennheiser for the duration of this document) warrants to the original purchaser that the product purchased will be free of defects related to manufacturing, parts, materials, and workmanship under normal and accepted use. Conditions under which the manufacturer’s limited product warranty statement is no longer valid can be found below. Sennheiser offers a worldwide warranty on its products though it is strongly encouraged that all warranty returns be sent to the customer’s local Sennheiser Authorized Service Center.

This limited product warranty is SEC’s only warranty and the customer’s only remedy concerning the product. All other representations, warranties or conditions, expressed or implied, written or oral, including but not limited to any warranties or guarantees of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, are expressly excluded. As a result, except as set forth in the previous and following paragraphs, the product is sold “as-is” and the customer is assuming the entire risk as to the product’s suitability to their needs, its quality and its performance.

• Sennheiser Products: 2 Years
• Wired Evolution Products: 10 Years
• Neumann Products: 1 Year
• Refurbished Products: Carry the standard warranty**

** Remanufactured product warranties are only valid when purchased from an authorized Sennheiser reseller. Excludes any remanufactured Headphone, TeleCom Headset, or Bluetooth® product, which carry a 90-day warranty. Out of warranty TeleCom headset replacements have a 1 year warranty.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

PRODUCT ADVANCE REPLACEMENTS

SEC does not provide advance replacement products.

REFUNDS

SEC will only provide refunds to customers that have purchased product directly from SEC within 30 days from the date of purchase. Customers that purchased product from a Sennheiser distributor/vendor seeking a refund will have to request reimbursement from the original distributor/vendor.

SHIPPING TO SEC

SEC will be responsible for shipping to the customer after repair/replacement ONLY. The customer is responsible for all shipping/handling charges related to returning the product to SEC or one of the SEC authorized repair facilities. Products must be shipped in their original packaging or otherwise suitably protected to avoid damage during shipping. SEC will not be responsible for any damage incurred during shipment. SEC will only be responsible for packages that are verified as having been received into our warehouse via a shipment tracking number provided by the customer’s shipping company.

SHIPPING FROM SEC

All packages will ship within the 50 United States via UPS ground, no signature required, at no expense to the customer. International shipping as well as other shipping methods and options are available; however, all related charges will be the sole responsibility of the customer.

WARRANTY REPAIRS

In the event that a repair action is performed, SEC will be responsible for all costs associated with the repair including parts and labor costs. All service labor is guaranteed for 90 days or until the conclusion of the originally purchased product’s original warranty period, whichever period of time is greater.

WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS

SEC may, at its discretion, choose to replace the product completely with a new or remanufactured product. In the event of product obsolescence, a suitable replacement will be chosen based upon the features, the intended use (according to SEC) and the retail price of the original product. In the event of product obsolescence SEC cannot guarantee the same color or aesthetic attributes as the original product. All warranty replacements are guaranteed for 90 days or until the conclusion of the originally purchased product’s original warranty period, whichever period of time is greater.

The expected turnaround time is subject to parts and product availability and therefore cannot be guaranteed. For information regarding current turnaround times for warranty repairs and replacements please contact Service Administration at (860) 434-9190 extension #2.

DETERMINING AUTHORITY

The SEC Service Department will be the final determining authority for all potential warranty claims for service and/or replacement.
