Limited Warranty
What is covered:
All parts defective in material and workmanship. This limited warranty for the LIFESTYLE® VS-2 video
enhancer covers the functionality of the system for its normal, intended use as specified in the
Owner’s Guide and does not cover a malfunction that has resulted from improper or unreasonable use
or maintenance, accident, excess moisture, improper packing, lightning, power surges, or unauthorized tampering, alteration or modification while not under the control of Bose. Bose
designed to be used in every environment, so please review your Owner’s Guide.
WHERE PERMITTED, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER
WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
For how long:
In countries where the duration of a warranty is not determined by statute, the Bose Limited Warranty
lasts one year from the purchase date. For countries where minimum warranty terms are determined
by statute, the Bose Limited Warranty term is the longer of the statutory period or the term listed
above.
Notwithstanding the above, in the United States, where applicable, if you qualify as a “consumer”
under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, then you may be entitled to any implied warranties allowed
by law for the period of the express Limited Warranty as set forth below. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied Limited Warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
What we will do:
At our option, we will repair or replace any defective parts within a reasonable period of time and free
of charge.
How you can obtain limited warranty service:
1. You can ship the system to either a Bose Service Agency or to Bose directly with a proof of
purchase from an authorized dealer. Please:
A. Properly and carefully pack the product for shipping. If you need a carton for shipping,
contact Bose for a new carton
B. Please contact Bose to get a return reference number. Place this number prominently on
the outside of the carton.
C. Label and ship the product to the appropriate Bose location.
2. You can return the system with proof of purchase from an authorized dealer to a Bose Service
Agency or directly to Bose. Proof of purchase is not required where it is excluded by statute.

Other Rights:
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY:
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE PROVIDED THAT THE CURRENT OWNER
FURNISHES THE ORIGINAL PROOF OF PURCHASE FROM AN AUTHORIZED BOSE DEALER. THE
MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF BOSE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY
YOU FOR THE PRODUCT. IN NO EVENT SHALL BOSE BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES. SOME PLACES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS OR THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF RELIEF, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT
DAMAGES TO SPECIFIED AMOUNTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
OTHER CONDITIONS:
FOR YOUR BENEFIT, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU RECORD YOUR SERIAL NUMBERS(S), FOUND
ON THE PRODUCT(S), AND OTHER PURCHASE INFORMATION, AND KEEP IT WITH YOUR PERSONAL RECORDS ALONG WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE. IF NECESSARY, THIS INFORMATION
WILL ALLOW US TO BETTER SERVE YOUR NEEDS.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC RIGHTS SUBJECT TO SPECIFIED CONDITIONS.
YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS WHICH APPLY TO THE PRODUCT YOU HAVE
ACQUIRED. THESE LEGAL RIGHTS VARY FROM STATE TO STATE OR COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.
SOME PLACES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION, RESTRICTION OR MODIFICATION OF CERTAIN
IMPLIED RIGHTS OR THEIR EFFECT. IN THOSE SITUATIONS THIS LIMITED WARRANTY WILL ONLY
APPLY TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICABLE LAW ALLOWS. OTHER LAWS PROVIDE YOU WITH
A STATUTORY CLAIM AGAINST THE SELLER.
The laws of your state or country may provide you with legal claims against the seller or manufacturer
of this product. The Limited Warranty does not affect those rights.
Remedies:
The provisions of this Limited Warranty are in lieu of any other warranties or conditions, except those
provided by law. This Limited Warranty does not affect any legal rights provided to you by law and
does not preclude any legal remedy you may have under the law.
This Limited Warranty is void if the label bearing the serial number has been removed or defaced.
