NOTE: Please contact Maxey Archtops directly regarding all warranty claims.

Maxey Archtops warrants that your new Maxey Archtops guitar will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, under normal use and service conditions, for a period of one 1 year from the original date of purchase.

This warranty applies only to the original retail purchaser when the instrument is purchased as new from Maxey Archtops or an Authorized Maxey Archtops Dealer. This warranty is non transferable. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty service requests.

Instruments sold as Factory Seconds or B Stock are covered for a period of thirty 30 days from the date of purchase, unless otherwise stated. Electronic components and guitar hardware are covered for a period of one 1 year from the date of purchase.

WARRANTY COVERAGE

If a Maxey Archtops guitar is determined, after inspection, to have a defect in materials or workmanship within the warranty period, Maxey Archtops will, at its sole discretion, repair the instrument or replace it with the same or most similar model, not to exceed the original purchase price.

This limited warranty covers labor and materials for repairs approved by Maxey Archtops within the warranty period.

In the event that an instrument is lost, damaged, or destroyed while in the possession of Maxey Archtops during approved warranty service, Maxey Archtops will replace the instrument with one of the same or most similar style, not to exceed the original purchase price. The owner is responsible for maintaining appropriate insurance coverage, including any collector or market value.

Maxey Archtops reserves the right to use materials and components currently available at the time of repair if original materials are no longer available.

Environmental and structural exclusions

Wood instruments are sensitive to temperature and humidity. This warranty does not cover cracks, separations, warping, glue joint movement, or other structural changes caused by or related to environmental factors including but not limited to humidity, dryness, temperature fluctuation, sun exposure, or moisture.

Finish checking, hairline cracks, or finish movement are considered cosmetic and are not covered unless directly associated with an approved structural repair.

SHIPPING AND SERVICE CONDITIONS

All warranty service requires prior Return Authorization. Instruments returned without authorization may be refused.

Shipping the instrument to Maxey Archtops for inspection or service is the responsibility of the owner. Instruments must be fully insured for their replacement value and packaged to professional shipping standards. Damage resulting from improper packaging or insufficient insurance is not covered under this warranty.

Repaired instruments approved under warranty will be returned prepaid for freight and insurance.

Only Maxey Archtops or its authorized service providers may perform warranty repairs. Unauthorized repair work will void this warranty.

Maxey Archtops does not provide non warranty repair services. Repairs not covered under this warranty should be performed by a qualified professional at the owner’s expense.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Maxey Archtops assumes no liability for property damage, loss of income, loss of use, or other incidental or consequential damages related to product failure or service time.

This warranty is the only warranty provided by Maxey Archtops and supersedes all other warranties, expressed or implied. Any implied warranties, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to one 1 year from the date of purchase. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on the duration of implied warranties, so these limitations may not apply.
