To claim under this warranty, the original retail purchaser must at the time the claim is made (a) – supply proof, to Fender’s satisfaction, of his/her original purchase of the product (at least the original sales receipt which must contain the serial number and the purchaser’s name) and (b) – supply documentary evidence of its service history, and must within the applicable warranty period, return the product to an Authorised Fender® Dealer or to an Authorised Fender® Electronics Service Centre.

This warranty is for a limited period (following the date of the original purchase) of 5 years except that (a) – bulbs, vacuum tubes and meters are covered for only 90 days; (b) – microphones and speakers are covered for 1 year; and (c) – cables are covered for 30 days, from the date of original purchase.

This warranty does not cover:

  • Normal wear and tear on any part of the product, including input jack, output jacks, controls and switches, plated surfaces, nuts, screws etc;
  • Transportation, insurance or freight charges associated with warranty claims;
  • Any product whose serial number is missing, unable to be read, defaced or has been altered or tampered with in any manner;
  • Any product which has been modified except by an Authorised Fender® Service Technician only after first having obtained Fender’s prior written approval.
  • Case and case hardware;
  • Mic Clips and Battery clips;
  • Any product which has been hired out; or
  • All other defects and deterioration due to normal usage, ageing, wear and tear, accidents, neglect, abuse, or acts of Nature.
YOU MUST RETAIN YOUR SALES RECEIPT
IT IS REQUIRED AS PROOF OF YOUR PURCHASE.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS VOID WITHOUT SUCH SALES RECEIPT

If original materials or products are not readily available to Fender, alternatives may be used for service, replacement or repair.

Repair service of defects covered by this warranty can only be performed by the Authorised Fender® Electronics Service Centre designated by Fender.

YOUR FENDER DEALER MAY ALSO BE AUTHORISED FOR WARRANTY SERVICE AND SHOULD BE THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT WHEN SERVICE OF ANY KIND IS REQUIRED FOR THE PRODUCT.

Any damage or defect resulting from unauthorised removal, replacement or interference with parts is not covered by this warranty. Any repair or service performed by anyone other than Fender’s nominated Authorised Fender® Dealer or Authorised Fender® Electronic Service Centre is not covered by this warranty, is not reimbursable and may void this warranty.

The foregoing constitutes the express warranty given by Fender with respect to the product. Except for such terms, conditions and warranties implied by statute, and which cannot be excluded, all terms, conditions, warranties and representations, implied by law or statute are expressly excluded to the maximum extent permitted in Australia, including those in relation to the condition, or suitability of the product, or its quality, merchantability, fitness for purpose, safety or otherwise.

The maximum liability for breach of any term, condition, warranty or representation, including those implied by statute which cannot be excluded, is limited, at the option of Fender, to the replacement of the goods, or the supply of equivalent goods, or the repair of the goods, or the payment of the cost of such replacement, supply or repair.

Except to the extent that exclusion is prohibited by statute and to the maximum extent permitted by law, all liability arising from, or in connection with, personal injury, death or from or in connection with loss or damage to property, howsoever arising, including Fender’s negligence or resulting from failure of, or defect in, any product sold or supplied by Fender, or, in connection with the supply, assembly, installation or operation of any such product is expressly excluded. Under no circumstances is there, or can there be, any liability for consequential loss or damages nor for loss of income, satisfaction and otherwise (including arising from unavailability or delay during service, repair or replacement).

Fender recommends servicing of your instrument not less frequently than yearly, and more frequently if used professionally, by an Authorised Fender® Dealer or an Authorised Fender® Repairer/Service Technician.
