Warranty Period

Non-original buyers must notify us to inquire about the warranty status of their purchase and whether a warranty claim is available. We require details such as the order number, the non-original buyer's personal contact information, and the shipping address.
For Audione's own brands, such as TANGZU, we can provide repair services even if the order number is not available, as long as the product is still repairable. However, this service does not apply to discontinued products. You are responsible for all shipping and repair costs. For products without an order number, expect longer repair times.
