If you make a valid claim under this Limited Warranty, TAYLOR will at its choice either repair the defective product or replace its defective parts without charge to you for either parts or labor.

TAYLOR may choose to have the Warranty Repair carried out on its behalf by an authorized Taylor Guitars dealer, distributor or repair center.
Limitations. The obligations of TAYLOR under this Limited Warranty are limited to repair or replacement of parts of the product found to be defective. In no event shall TAYLOR be liable under this Limited Warranty for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including but not limited to time, wages or lost profits, of any nature or kind or for damages to or loss of property.

2. to setups, adjustments, routine maintenance of any kind, strings, and batteries;

Claim Procedures. In order to make a claim under this Limited Warranty, you must first contact TAYLOR (or, alternatively, any authorized Taylor Guitars dealer, distributor or repair center). A list of current authorized repair centers is available at https://www.taylorguitars.com/support/repair-centers. If you plan to ship your guitar instead of visiting a repair center in person, you must first call TAYLOR for a return authorization number. If outside of Europe, call Customer Service +1 800 943 6782. After getting a return authorization, you must obtain and pay for any permits required to export from your country to the US ; then you must send the product with any required permits, with shipping and insurance prepaid by you, to TAYLOR at 1900 Gillespie Way, El Cajon, CA, 92020 to the Attention of the Repair Department and listing the RA (return authorization) number on the outside of the box, together with (a) evidence confirming the original purchase by you (such as a copy of the sales invoice or receipt, a credit card slip, or the like); (b) a brief description of the nature of the asserted defect and photographic or other documentary evidence requested by TAYLOR; and (c) your name and phone number and your address to which the product is to be returned. If you fail to contact TAYLOR prior to exporting your guitar from your country, or if you fail to get any necessary permit for your guitar, the guitar could be subject to government confiscation and/or TAYLOR may not be able to obtain a permit to ship it back to you in your country.
If your claim is valid, the product will be returned to you upon completion of the Warranty Repair, shipping, permits and insurance to be paid by you. In the event it is determined that an asserted defect is not covered by or is excluded from this Limited Warranty, you will be contacted with an estimate of repairs. If you do not give approval for the cost of the repair, then the product will be returned to you without repair or replacement; any costs for shipping, permits and insurance are to be paid by you.
TAYLOR does not make any other express warranty than stated herein or any implied warranty, in particular not regarding the fitness for a particular purpose or its merchantability. No representation or warranty made by any TAYLOR salesperson, dealer, agent, representative or employee shall be binding upon TAYLOR other than as set forth herein.
Non-transferability. This Limited Warranty is not transferable or assignable in whole or in part without TAYLOR's prior written consent.
