Limited Warranty

For five years from the date of purchase, Boston Acoustics will repair for the original owner any

defect in materials or workmanship that occurs in normal use of the VRS Micro speaker system,

without charge for parts and labor.

Your responsibilities are to use the system according to the instructions supplied, to provide safe

and secure transportation to an authorized Boston Acoustics service representative and to present

proof of purchase in the form of your sales slip when requesting service.

Excluded from this warranty is damage that results from abuse, misuse, accidents, shipping or repairs

or modifications by anyone other than an authorized Boston Acoustics service representative. 

This warranty is void if the serial number has been removed or defaced.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from

state to state.

If Service Seems Necessary

First, contact the retailer from whom you purchased the speakers. If that is not possible, write to:

We will promptly advise you of what action to take. If it is necessary to return your speaker to the

factory, please ship it prepaid. After it has been repaired, we will return it freight prepaid in the U.S.

and Canada.
