Support

All products manufactured by AtlasIED (Atlas Sound/Innovative Electronic Designs) are warranted to the original dealer/installer, industrial or commercial purchaser to be free from defects in material and workmanship and to be in compliance with our published specifications, if any. The product warranty is non-transferrable and all third-party products supplied by AtlasIED are warranted for the period of time and with the warranty given by the third party but not less than one year from invoice date.

This warranty shall extend from the date of shipment for the duration in the product page’s Specifications.

AtlasIED will solely at its discretion, replace at no charge, repair free of charge, or issue credit for defective parts or products when the product has been applied and used in accordance with our published operation and installation instructions. AtlasIED is not responsible for defects caused by improper storage, misuse (including failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance), accident, abnormal atmospheres, water immersion, lightning discharge, or malfunctions when products have been modified or operated in excess of rated power, altered, serviced or installed in other than a workman like manner.

In cases where the customer experiences problems with a product within the initial standard warranty period, AtlasIED may issue an advance replacement for the defective product if requested by the customer and permitting that the replacement is in stock and available. AtlasIED provides no guarantee that a replacement will be available. If a replacement is not available, the customer will be required to send the product in for a warranty repair or replacement of similar product. If the requesting customer is a direct customer of AtlasIED, the replacement product will be charged to the customer’s account, then credited back once the defective unit is returned. If the customer is not a direct customer of AtlasIED, a credit card payment for MSRP of the replacement item is mandatory for Advance Replacement. Once the defective unit is returned, the credit card will be credited in the original amount. Both credits are subject to our standard warranty policy for covering defective units.

The following provisions apply to advance replacement requests:

• Advance replacements will not be sent to cover any product that is currently out of warranty unless the customer is a Platinum Assurance Plan or Modified Assurance Plan member with the appropriate coverage for replacement hardware through IED Support Services, LLC.
• The customer may be required to issue a purchase order for the replacement product that includes the purchase price of the product with a note indicating that the purchase order is for an advance replacement exchange. A credit will be issued against the order once the defective product has been returned. In the event that the customer does not return the product to AtlasIED in a timely manner, they will be liable for paying the outstanding invoice for the product.
• The serial number(s) for the return part(s) must be provided in order to issue an advance replacement exchange. AtlasIED will issue a Return Authorization (RA) that will be used for the return of the exchanged product.
• Advance replacements are covered for the original product warranty period only.

AtlasIED will provide diagnostic support for 5400 and ACS (GLOBALCOM®) system failure or total system interruption via telephone and/or customer provided high-speed Internet access on a 24/7/365 basis. All other assistance will be available during the warranty period only between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday through Friday except holidays. All interpretation of this provision will be in the sole discretion of AtlasIED. The original sales invoice must be retained as evidence of purchase under the terms of this warranty. All warranty returns must comply with our returns policy set forth below. When products returned to Atlas Sound do not qualify for repair, replacement, or credit under our warranty, repairs may be performed at prevailing costs for material and labor unless there is included with the returned product(s) a written request for an estimate of repair costs before any non-warranty work is performed. In the event of replacement or upon completion of repairs, return shipment will be made with the transportation charges collect.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW PREVENTS THE LIMITATION OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY, ATLASIED (ATLAS SOUND/INNOVATIVE ELECTRONIC DESIGNS) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE IN TORT OR CONTRACT FOR ANY DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF THE INSTALLATION, USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCTS. THE ABOVE WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. AtlasIED does not assume, or does it authorize any other person to assume or extend on its behalf, any other warranty, obligation, or liability. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights, which vary in your local market.

Please note: This return policy only applies to approved AtlasIED dealers only.

Atlas Sound L.P. and Innovative Electronic Designs, LLC (AtlasIED) take pride in providing and selling high-quality products under brand names including Atlas Sound, Atlas Power, Atlas Racks, Atlas Support, Innovative Electronic Designs, AtlasIED, and others, and expects retailers who resell the products to maintain AtlasIED’s high standards and the image of the high-quality brands it sells. We also expect the retailers who offer AtlasIED’s products to take the time to learn about our products so that they can properly support their customers. To encourage these efforts, we want retailers to enjoy the rewards of their hard work. This is why it is our policy not to do business with retailers who use low advertised price tactics to induce customers created through the hard work of others. AtlasIED believes that these tactics lower the level of service that other retailers can provide to customers. For these reasons, AtlasIED has implemented this Minimum Advertised Price Policy (the “Policy”).

Each retailer selling products it purchases through AtlasIED remains free to establish its own resale prices; however, following verification by AtlasIED to its satisfaction that a retailer has advertised or promoted any product below AtlasIED’s Minimum Advertised Price (“MAP”), AtlasIED may immediately suspend or terminate the retailer’s ability to purchase products offered by AtlasIED. The current MAP can be found on AtlasIED’s pricelist or upon request.

This Policy applies to all authorized Atlas Sound and Innovative Electronic Designs dealers and resellers. It applies to all advertisements, published or online information in hard copy or digital form that reference AtlasIED products. Advertisements include any form of media such as post cards, flyers, print ads, signage, digital signage, radio, television, auction sites, social media, and broadcast emails to public or private lists. Online pricing includes any communication of price accessible by a web crawler or price comparison site.

AtlasIED MAP guidelines:

AtlasIED resellers may not use online pricing below MAP if it is accessible by a web crawler or price comparison site.

AtlasIED resellers may advertise AtlasIED products:

• Without prices
• With free shipping
• With a discount or rebate applied in the cart to all products
• Advising to call for pricing

MAP will not apply to discontinued AtlasIED products beginning 90 days after the date AtlasIED announces the discontinuation.

Each retailer who purchases products from AtlasIED is free to independently decide whether or not to follow this Policy. AtlasIED does not ask for, nor will it accept, any assurance of compliance or agreement from a retailer regarding this Policy; nor will AtlasIED discuss any conditions of acceptance related to this Policy. Nothing in any contract or understanding between AtlasIED and any retailer is intended to create any agreement by retailers to adhere to this Policy.

AtlasIED will decide independently and on its own whether a retailer has violated this Policy and what to do about it. While every retailer is free to decide for itself how to do business and what prices to offer, AtlasIED reserves its own right to suspend or stop doing business with any retailer who chooses to ignore this important Policy.

AtlasIED dealers, representatives and employees do not have the authority to discuss or modify this Policy or create exceptions to it. This Policy is subject to change at any time by AtlasIED in its sole discretion.

AtlasIED rejects any terms or conditions stated by customer or contained in customer’s purchase documents or correspondence which are in addition to, conflict with or limit the terms and conditions herein. Customer’s placement of an order shall constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions herein and shall be deemed to exclude any additional, conflicting or limiting terms stated by Customer or contained in Customer’s purchase documents or correspondence.

Even though we make every effort to avoid errors, we reserve the right to correct typographical, photographic, clerical or printing errors, and to change specifications to improve products and/or manufacturing methods.

All orders placed without ship dates or ship dates longer than 90 days may be subject to scheduled price increase(s).

Generally, purchasing products and/or services on our website require full pre-payment of products/services, taxes (where applicable) and shipping costs (if applicable). Credit card payments can be made during the checkout process.

Direct AtlasIED dealers will have different terms.
