The limited warranty on all NEW Esoteric products sold in the North American Market can be increased to 5-years parts and labor for your new Esoteric products – Upon Registration. Please complete the registration process at https://www.esoteric.jp/en/support/northamerica/registration so there is a record of your information in our system. Warranty coverage for non-registered units is otherwise considered as 3-years parts and labor. The warranty is non-transferrable.

Esoteric provides a warranty only on products imported by Playback Distribution LLC. and sold only by our authorized dealers as new equipment.

Esoteric in the USA and Canada will not service product under warranty that has been opened by end-users, modified, or altered. In the unlikely event that warranty service is needed, the consumer must provide a copy of their original bill of sale, and, if so applied for and received, the extended warranty certificate (if applicable), to the independent ESOTERIC Service Center noted below.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON MODIFIED PRODUCTS!

Products modified (or “Modded”) by third party companies render ESOTERIC products unserviceable by us.

Modifying products immediately voids all warranties from ESOTERIC. More importantly, since we do not know what these “mods” are, how they affect other circuits within the ESOTERIC product and most importantly, affect the timing and control functions within the product, we are not able, at any cost, to repair a modified ESOTERIC product.

Modified products should be returned to the modifier for service.

For more information on factory service and service return please see the next section of this document
