The preceding warranties are the exclusive warranties given by QSC for the QSC Product and supersede any prior, contrary or additional representations, whether oral or written. QSC and its distributors, jobbers, and dealers disclaim and exclude all other warranties—whether express, implied, or statutory—including any warranty of merchantability, any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, and any implied warranties otherwise arising from course of performance, course of dealing, or usage of trade.

If the QSC Product fails to conform to the preceding warranties, you must notify QSC or its authorized dealer within a reasonable time and in no event more than fifteen (15) days after the discovery of the nonconformity and deliver the QSC Product, together with proof of date of purchase, to the original point of purchase, a QSC factory, one of QSC’s authorized service stations, or an authorized QSC International Distributor via pre-paid transportation. QSC will investigate and, in the event of a breach of warranty, will provide, at its sole option and within a reasonable period of time:

  • Repair of any nonconforming QSC Product or components
  • Replacement of any nonconforming QSC Product or components with conforming product or component
  • Refund of the lesser of either the current value of the product at the time the warranty claim is made or the purchase price

When providing repair or replacement service, QSC will use reasonable efforts to reinstall the product’s original software configuration and subsequent update releases, but will not provide any recovery or transfer of software or data contained on the serviced QSC Product unit not originally included in the QSC Product. Repaired or replacement products will conform to the warranty for the unexpired duration of the warranty period for the original, nonconforming QSC Product. QSC may use used or repaired material for all warranty claims. This remedy does not cover
any labor charged or travel time incurred by you for diagnosis, removal, or reinstallation of the QSC Product; the cost of transportation of the QSC Product to or from Purchaser; or any other contingent expenses. The remedy selected by QSC in accordance with this paragraph shall be the exclusive and sole remedy for any breach of warranty.

QSC shall not be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages resulting from any breach of warranty—whether resulting from non-delivery or from the use, misuse, or inability to use the product or from defects in the product. This exclusion covers, without limitation, damages for loss of use, revenue or profit, cost of substitute equipment, loss of or damage to any data, and claims by purchaser’s customers or other third parties.

This Warranty is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding the application of its conflicts of law rules. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement.

If any part of this Warranty is found to be void or unenforceable, then the remainder shall have full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be partially enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law to effectuate the purpose of the Warranty.
