Warranty
AKAI Electric Co., Ltd., warrants its products, when purchased from an authorized AKAI dealer, to be free
from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 (twelve) months from the date of purchase.
Warranty service is effective and available to the original purchase only, and only on completion and return of
the AKAI Warranty Registration Card within 14 days of purchase.
Warranty coverage is valid for factory-authorized updates to AKAI instruments and their software, when their
installation is performed by an authorized AKAI Service Center, and a properly completed Warranty Registra-
tion has been returned to your AKAI Professional dealer.
To obtain service under this warranty, the product must, on discovery of the defect, be properly packed and
shipped to the nearest AKAI Service Center. The party requesting warranty service must provide proof of
original ownership and date of purchase of the product.
If the warranty is valid, AKAI will, without charge for parts or labor, either repair or replace the defective
part(s). Without a valid warranty, the entire cost of the repair (parts and labor) is the responsibility of the
product's owner.
AKAI warrants that it will make all necessary adjustments, repairs and replacements at no cost to the original
owner within 12 (twelve) months of the purchase date if:
1. The product fails to perform its specified functions due to failure of one or more of its components.
2. The product fails to perform its specified functions due to defects in workmanship.
3. The product has been maintained and operated by the owner in strict accordance with the written instruc-
tions for proper maintenance and use as specified in this Operator's Manual.
Before purchase and use, owners should determine the suitability of the product for their intended use, and
owner assumes all risk and liability whatsoever in connection therewith. AKAI shall not be liable for any
injury, loss or damage, direct or consequential, arising out of use, or inability to use the product.
The warranty provides only those benefits specified, and does not cover defects or repairs needed as a result
of acts beyond the control of AKAI, including but not limited to:
1. Damage caused by abuse, accident, negligence. AKAI will not cover under warranty any original factory
disk damaged or destroyed as a result of the owner's mishandling.
2. Damage caused by any tampering, alteration or modification of the product: operating software, mechani-
cal or electronic components.
3. Damage caused by failure to maintain and operate the product in strict accordance with the written in-
structions for proper maintenance and use as specified in this Operator's Manual.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty becomes void if the product or its software is electronically modified,
altered or tampered with in any way.
AKAI shall not be liable for costs involved in packing or preparing the product for shipping, with regard to time,
labor, or materials, shipping or freight costs, or time or expense involved in transporting the product to and
from AKAI Authorized Service Center or Authorized Dealer.
AKAI will not cover under warranty an apparent malfunction that is determined to be user error, or owner's
inability to use the product.
THE DURATION OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER IMPLIED OR EXPRESS, INCLUDING BUT

OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY HEREIN.
AKAI hereby excludes incidental or consequential damages, including but not limited to:
1. Loss of time.
