Limited Warranty; Exclusion of Certain Damages
The Bogen Foreground Speaker Model FG20 (B/W) is warranted to be free from defects in material
and workmanship for two (2) years from the date of sale to the original purchaser. Any part of the
product covered by this warranty that, with normal installation and use, becomes defective (as
confirmed by Bogen upon inspection) during the applicable warranty period, will be repaired or replaced
by Bogen, at Bogen’s option, provided the product is shipped insured and prepaid to: Bogen Factory
Service Department, 4570 Shelby Air Drive, Suite 11, Memphis TN 38118, USA. Repaired or replace-
ment product will be returned to you freight prepaid. This warranty does not extend to any of our
products that have been subjected to abuse, misuse, improper storage, neglect, accident, improper
installation or have been modified or repaired or altered in any manner whatsoever, or where the serial
number or date code has been removed or defaced.
THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY IS BOGEN’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND
THE PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. BOGEN MAKES NO OTHER WARRAN-
TIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED
AND EXCLUDED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW. Bogen's liability arising out of
the manufacture, sale or supplying of products or their use or disposition, whether based upon warran-
ty, contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to the price of the product. IN NO EVENT SHALL BOGEN
BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF USE DAMAGES) ARISING
OUT OF THE MANUFACTURE, SALE OR SUPPLYING OF PRODUCTS, EVEN IF BOGEN HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES. Some States do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights which vary from State to State.
Products that are out of warranty will also be repaired by the Bogen Factory Service Department –
same address as above or call 201-934-8500. The parts and labor involved in these repairs are
warranted for 90 days when repaired by the Bogen Factory Service Department. All shipping charges
in addition to parts and labor charges will be at the owner's expense. All returns require a Return
Authorization number. For most efficient warranty or repair service, please include a description of the
failure.
