Terms of warranty

Lautsprecher  Teufel  GmbH  provides  a  twelve-
year  warranty  for  loudspeakers  and  a  two-
year  warranty  for  amplifiers  and  electrical 
components, starting at the purchase date. The 
warranty  covers  all  materials  and  time  needed. 
The warranty does not cover devices damaged as 
a result of improper use or electrical/mechanical 
overloading.  The  original  Teufel  invoice  is  your 
proof of warranty. This warranty applies exclusively 
to  loudspeakers,  amplifiers  and  electronic 
components  purchased  by  consumers  from 
Teufel  for  private  usage.  The  warranty  does  not 
apply  to  loudspeakers,  amplifiers  and  electronic 
components  sold  to  consumers  through  third-
party dealers. For third-party products supplied 
together  with  the  Teufel  system,  the  terms  of 
warranty of the manufacturer in question apply. 
When  Teufel  products  are  resold  privately,  the 
warranty  may  be  transferred  to  the  new  owner. 
For  this,  the  new  owner  requires  the  original 
Teufel invoice.

Returns policy

For  all  products  purchased  directly  from  Teu-
fel  and  from  www.teufel.de,  Teufel  provides  an 
eight-week  right  of  return  with  a  money-back 
guarantee. You will not have to pay any additional 
shipping costs for returning Teufel goods. Teufel 
covers  the  freight  for  transporting  the  goods 
back to the factory, and we will promptly refund 
the purchase price to your account once we have 
verified the condition of the goods. 

You may only return individual components from 
a set if Teufel offers these components for sale 
separately.  If  you  return  one  or  more  individual 
components  from  a  set,  this  voids  the  discount 
that  Teufel  provides  on  the  sale  of  components 
as  a  set.  This  means  that  for  individually  retur-
ned components from a set, you will be refunded 
the difference between the set price and the sum 
purchase price of the individual components you 
decide  to  keep,  i.e.,  we  will  deduct  the  discount 
that applies to set purchases.

If you decide to return any or all of the purchased 
goods, please always contact us first.
Note that we can only process and accept returned 
goods if you have telephoned us in advance and dis-
cussed the required returns procedure.
