Warranty Terms
Warranty Terms
Product Warranties vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Gollihur Music is an authorized retailer for ALL of the products we sell, so each individual manufacturer's warranties apply to their products according to their terms.
In order to take advantage of warranties, you may be required to register your purchase with the manufacturer. You may also have to ship (sometimes at your cost) the item back to them for inspection, service, or replacement. Once you've had an item for 30 days, the manufacturer's terms take over. We cannot act on your behalf -- but if you need information about your order, including a proof of purchase, we're happy to provide it.
Please let us know if you have any questions or are having any issues, we are here to help.
For your convenience, Gollihur Music has collected the terms of many of our manufacturers' product warranties. These are the terms that are supplied by each manufacturer, and are subject to change without notice. I hope that this information is useful to you, but please be aware that each manufacturer sets their own policies and any warranty service is subject to those policies.
If warranty terms for your product are not shown on our site, do not presume they don't have one; some item manufacturers do not post a formal, written statement, and you should visit their websites for the most common information, as I may have overlooked an update. Please check the packaging/documentation that came with your item(s) and see if the information is there. You should also contact them directly for full clarification of any terms you do not understand or agree with.
Important note about warranty coverage outside the USA: Products sold are subject to US warranty terms, and in many cases may need to be returned to the US for service. In those cases purchasers must return items to the US at their cost, and in some cases may need to cover some or all the costs for reshipment, depending on the warranty arrangement with the manufacturer. In some cases parts may be supplied for local installation/replacement.
Acoustic Image
Amps, Preamps, Combos, Speaker Cabinets
Our Warranty, Simply Stated
We stand behind our products with a full warranty of five years from the date of purchase. Speaker components are warranted for 180 days. Should a problem arise, please call us before returning your amplifier or enclosure. Naturally, our warranty does not cover products that have been damaged through misuse.
Bottom line, we don't say that ours is a "lifetime warranty" or even a "limited lifetime warranty". We do, however, commit to treat you the way we would like to be treated. For good.
ART (Applied Research and Technology)
ARTcessories Mic Preamp
Warranty Page
All ART and ARTcessories products are covered by a 3 year manufacturer's defect warranty, and M Series microphones feature a 2 year manufacturer's defect warranty. In most cases, we simply do not stock replacement parts on older products where they are discontinued and the warranty period has expired. If you seek warranty/repair service for your ART product, visit our Return Authorization page and fill out the required form.
Outside of USA, warranty terms may be more or less than three years depending on the policy of the respective territory distributor/agent. Please check with your local distributor to confirm their warranty terms for ART products.
*Please note: ALL warranty periods start from the original purchase date.

D'Addario
Strings for Musical Instruments
String Issues FAQ Response
I've experienced a problem with a string (or set of strings). What should I do?
We are sorry to hear of your experience. If you experience a problem with your strings (or string set), you may contact us to see whether a manufacturing mishap is the cause. If you wish to return the string(s), visit http://www.daddario.com/ra. Please return the string or set in question in its original packaging (including corrosion intercept bag if possible). This will help us determine if a defect or other malfunction has occurred. Upon receipt and evaluation, if a manufacturing defect is revealed, we will quickly send you a replacement.
NOTE: Though it may not be the case in your situation, please keep in mind that premature string breakage is often caused by burrs or rough edges that develop at the nut or bridge/saddle. These rough edges are often difficult to see, but can be ruthless on strings. If your string continuously breaks at the nut or bridge, please check these points of contact for a nice, smooth surface. If burrs or rough edges are found, contact your local music shop or luthier to perform the necessary minor repair to resolve this common problem.

Radial Engineering (ToneBone)
Preamps, DI Boxes, Switchers, Electronics
Warranty Page
Standard Warranty:
All products sold by RADIAL come with a 1-year limited warranty. This limited warranty protects you against defects in workmanship. The warranty does not cover any consequential or inconsequential damage or any losses. Specifically, if you have a problem due to defect, you must make the arrangements and cover the costs to return the product to us with a copy of the original sales invoice and we will repair the product and return it to you at our cost. All warranty claims require a return authorization. Contact the RADIAL service department for details.
Transferable 3-Year Warranty:
Some RADIAL products come with a 3-Year Transferable Warranty. This means that if you buy the product and decide to sell it, the warranty can be transferred to the person that buys it, thus providing continuous warranty support and added value. This Transferable Warranty follows the same procedures and limitations outlined in the Standard Warranty. This means that if you sell the product, you must provide the buyer with a copy of your original invoice so that he, in turn, may be able to submit this should a warranty claim be required.
Warranty Limitation:
As with all typical warranties, only manufacturing defects are covered. Furthermore, parts that are subject to wear and tear such as switches, potentiometers and tubes are not covered under this warranty. This, however, does not mean that these will not be repaired or replaced free of charge. We pride ourselves in supporting the products we sell and will often exchange these parts free of charge pending the age of the device. This decision will be undertaken by RADIAL and in no way obliges the company to perform such tasks.
