General Conditions

Genuine Bang & Olufsen products (“Bang & Olufsen Products”) are covered by this limited warranty (the “Warranty”). The terms of this Warranty apply to Bang & Olufsen Products purchased in or after November 2019. To claim any rights under this Warranty, the original invoice received at the time of purchase of the Bang & Olufsen Product must be presented to Bang & Olufsen.
This Warranty covers all defects (relevant to the specification of the Bang & Olufsen Product in question) that may arise in the Bang & Olufsen product within the warranty period. The warranty period commences upon the date of purchase by the first consumer purchaser and continues for the following 24 months after that date (the “Warranty Period”).
If a defect covered by the Warranty arises within the Warranty Period and your Bang & Olufsen product is applicable for online return, please make
your claim at: https://www.bang-olufsen.com/support
If the online return tool is not available in your country or if the Bang & Olufsen product is not applicable for the tool, please contact the legal entity stated on the original invoice for the Bang & Olufsen Product.
Coverage
Bang & Olufsen warrants that the Bang & Olufsen product is free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for the
Warranty Period.
Bang & Olufsen Products are products of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. Procedures and suggestions on proper use and maintenance of Bang & Olufsen Products and its internal components should always be followed.
Thus, this Warranty is conditioned upon proper use of the Bang & Olufsen Product within the Warranty Period. The Warranty does not cover:

• Defects which have been caused by wrongful use, incorrect and/or unauthorized installation, incorrect repairs/modifications, or maladjustment of the Bang & Olufsen Product, or neglect, including but not limited to “burn-in” of plasma or OLED displays, overdriving of speakers and similar wrongful use;

• Defects resulting from usage of the Bang & Olufsen product in conjunction with accessories that are not approved by Bang & Olufsen;

• Defects which have been caused by lightning, fire, water, voltage fluctuations, improper ventilation, or other events of force majeure beyond the control of Bang & Olufsen;

• Consequential damage, indirect or direct loss, or any related expenses claimed under the Warranty, such as but not limited to loss from inability
  to operate the Bang & Olufsen Product or costs connected with rent of substitution products;

• Software and content provided by third parties or problems occurring due to modifications made by the software provider;

• Field assistance for problems that can be solved with online software updates. It is the customer’s responsibility to provide network connection for these updates;

• Problems occurring with network/wireless connection caused by external effects present locally only and not impacting functionality in other locations not experiencing such external effects. To obtain information about the functionality of specific purposes, please contact Bang & Olufsen;

• Defects in consumables (i.e. components that are expected to require regular replacement such as but not limited to batteries) as well as defects caused by overcharging;

• Unreasonable costs or expenses related to modifications or demolitions of the space in which the Bang & Olufsen Product is placed during the
  process of repair; and/or

• Costs for cleaning the screen due to external influences.
  Defects claimed under the Warranty are rectified at Bang & Olufsen’s discretion within the rules of the marketing and consumer law.
  Rectification is ensured by way of (i) repairing the defective Bang & Olufsen Product, (ii) inserting remanufactured parts into the Bang & Olufsen Product, and/or (iii) replacing the Bang & Olufsen product with a new product equivalent in performance and reliability to the Bang & Olufsen Product. Replacement of limited or special edition Bang & Olufsen Products depends on the availability of the Bang & Olufsen Products in question. Where the Bang & Olufsen Product cannot be repaired (damage is considered a total loss) and where the exchange is not feasible, compensation is offered on a pro-rata basis of the purchase price.
  All exchange modules become the property of Bang & Olufsen.

Exclusions and limitations

Bang & Olufsen is not liable for the damage or loss of any programs, data, and/or media content during the repair process. Bang & Olufsen strongly
recommends customers ensure that, if possible, all data is backed up prior to requesting repair services from Bang & Olufsen. The Warranty will not operate if the serial number has been defaced or altered or if non-authorized modifications in the software have been made.
In countries with governmental requirements on specifically developed versions of Bang & Olufsen products, e.g. due to varying transmission systems and approval demands, and the defect or malfunction is caused by the usage of other versions than required in the specific country, this Warranty does not apply. To obtain information about the usage of the Bang & Olufsen Product in several countries, please contact the legal entity stated on the original invoice for the Bang & Olufsen Product.

All implied warranties, including without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to the duration of this Warranty. In no event shall Bang & Olufsen be liable for damages in excess of the purchase price of the Bang & Olufsen Product or for, without limitation, commercial loss of any sort; loss of use, time, data, reputation, opportunity, goodwill, profits or savings; inconvenience; incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages; or damages arising from the use or inability to use the Bang & Olufsen Product. Bang & Olufsen makes no warranties or representations, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, as to the quality, capabilities, operations, performance, or suitability of any third-party software or equipment used in conjunction with the Bang & Olufsen Product, or the ability to integrate any such software or equipment with the Bang & Olufsen Product, whether such third-party software or equipment is included with the Bang & Olufsen Product distributed by Bang & Olufsen or otherwise. Responsibility for the quality, capabilities, operations, performance, and suitability of any such third-party software or equipment rests solely with the user and the direct vendor, owner, or supplier of such third-party software or equipment. Nothing contained in the user manual or any other document shall be construed to create an express warranty of any kind with respect to the Bang & Olufsen Product.  No agent, employee, dealer, representative, or reseller is authorized to modify or extend this Warranty or to make binding representations or claims, whether in advertising, presentations, or otherwise, on behalf of Bang & Olufsen regarding the Bang & Olufsen products or this Warranty.

Severability
If any portion of this Warranty is held to be illegal or unenforceable, such partial illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the enforceability of
the remainder of the Warranty.

Consumer’s legal rights
This Warranty is provided in addition to the rights and remedies granted by the seller of the Bang & Olufsen Product or granted under applicable legislation. Any and all remedies (e.g. rectification, claim for damages, and/or right to terminate the contract) granted by the seller of the Bang & Olufsen Product or available by law remain unaffected by this Warranty.
For the Australian market only: Bang & Olufsen Products are subject to the guarantees provided under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a ‘major problem’ and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the Bang & Olufsen Product repaired or replaced if the Bang & Olufsen product fails to be of acceptable quality and the problem does not amount to a ‘major problem’. For the US market only: Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. Thus, the above limitations or exclusions 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.
