Warranty conditions
12 year warranty for loudspeakers and 2 year warranty
for amplifiers and electronics from date of purchase.
Covers materials and workmanship, excludes damage
caused by improper use or electrical or mechanical
overload. Proof of warranty is the original of our invoice.
This warranty applies solely to loudspeakers, amplifiers
and electronics purchased from Teufel by an end user for
private use. The warranty is not valid for loudspeakers,
amplifiers and electronics which pass to an end user via
a third party merchant. In the case of a private re-sale of
Teufel products the warranty may be transferred to the
purchaser as long as the original proof of purchase is
also passed on to the purchaser.
Returns
Teufel provides the right to exchange or return within
eight weeks with refund of the purchase price paid.
Return of individual components sold as a package is
only possible if these components are also sold individually by Lautsprecher Teufel. In the case of the return of
one or more individual components the package price
reduction offered by Lautsprecher Teufel on all components in a package no longer applies. The amount
refunded to the customer for the components returned will
therefore only be the difference between the package
price and the purchase price of the individual parts. The
economic result for the customer is that it is as if he/she
had originally bought the remaining components at their
individual prices.
Further information on the subject of returns may be
found on the back of the returns form enclosed with the
order or online in the support area of our website www.
teufel.eu
If you need to return your goods please do not act without first speaking to Lautsprecher Teufel.
We can only process or accept your returns if you give
us prior notification by telephone and discuss how to
proceed!
