Sales of AudioScience Inc. (ASI) products are authorized only through our Value Added Resellers (VARs) and select audio equipment distributors. Products purchased through any means other than those authorized are not supported and we reserve the right to restrict warranty repairs on any product that do not meet this criteria. Products purchased through any 3rd party such as eBay or direct sales between individuals will not be supported.

As part of our reseller agreement, all initial inquiries for support should be directed to the reseller where you purchased your product. In most cases they will be able to assist with replacement products in the rare instance of DOA units. Even after the initial installation and burn in period (2-3 months) inquiries for support should first be directed to the reseller who will contact AudioScience if they are unable to resolve the problem. If the reseller is unable or unwilling to assist then please contact us directly by sending an email to support(at)audioscience.com (change the (at) to @).

The ASI warranty as of Jan-1-2005 on standard products is 3 years from the date of shipping (i.e., the date the product leaves our California office). We log all serial numbers into our database as of the date they ship. This database is the master log for warranty reference. Prior to Jan-1-2005 the warranty is 1 year. The product is warranted to the original purchaser when purchased either directly or through an ASI authorized reseller. The return of ASI product is handled through the original place of purchase of the ASI product. ASI does not warrant secondhand or gray market products. This warranty will be VOID if the serial number has been removed or defaced; or if the product has been altered, subjected to damage, abuse, fire, flood, lightening, or force majeure (greater force), rental usage, repaired by any person not authorized by AudioScience to make repairs; or installed in any manner that does not comply with AudioScience recommendations. Repair or replacement will not renew or extend the product warranty period. Replacement products will be covered for the remainder of the original warranty period or for ninety (90) days from the date of repair or replacement, whichever is longer.

AudioScience does not provide "loaner" or advance replacement equipment while units are in for repair except in very rare instances. Sometimes our VAR partners can provide units in emergency situations, please contact your reseller to discuss options. Any instances where we are able to provide loaners or advance replacement units should be considered a courtesy to our customers and not be taken as official policy.

Products over 5 years old can no longer be serviced. For items less than 5 years old, ASI will attempt to repair a product that is out of warranty and no longer functions. A Return Material Authorization (RMA) number must be obtained as described below. There is a $250.00 charge for the testing of OWP. This amount will be credited against any repair that may be done. The hourly repair rate is $125/hour with a $250 minimum. There will be no warranty extension on products in this category. Due to the inability to source obsolete components, there are certain adapters that we can no longer repair.

All items, components, parts, or equipment returned to ASI must have a valid Return Material Authorization (RMA) number issued and assigned exclusively by ASI Support.

The RMA number will be valid for 30 days after it is issued. If a customer fails to return the item within 30 days, ASI Support automatically closes the RMA number; customer must then obtain another RMA number to continue with the return.

The customer is responsible for packaging the product, including its components and other accessories, all in a well-padded sturdy box with adequate protection for shipment. ASI cannot be responsible for any physical damage to the product due to poor packaging.

Buyer/End Customer accepts responsibility for all freight charges, excise, customs, or other taxes for the return of goods/commodities to ASI's designated facility.

ASI will pay return freight charges back to the Buyer's/Customer's location on all Warranty Repaired and Replaced equipment via ground services.

The RMA number must appear on the outside of the shipping container/box or on a shipping label to be accepted by ASI, Inc. Packages, or boxes without RMA# appearing on the outside will not be accepted and will be returned.

All items, components, parts, or equipment purchased from ASI can be returned within 30 days of purchase date as long as the units have never been opened/used (ASI will confirm upon return) or the unit(s) did not fulfill your requirement and are not damaged in any way. When returning please follow guidelines listed under Returning of Goods.
