Limitations on Non-Cary Audio Provided Services 

Certain Cary Audio Products are designed to employ non-Cary Audio provided services (such as, by way of example only, Spotify, Tidal, etc.), some of which require separate customer subscriptions and some of which do not, as part of the Products’ functionality. Because Cary Audio cannot control the providers of such services or the services themselves, the owner of the Product therefore assumes all risks related to the use of services provided by anyone other than Cary Audio itself. Cary Audio cannot and does not warrant against, and shall have no liability of any kind for any of the following that are attributable to non-Cary Audio providers or services: (1) interruption, discontinuance, or other unsatisfactory performance of service, (2) reduced Product functionality that is so attributable, or (3) any other loss or damage of any kind that is so attributable.

Exclusion of Damages

How State Law Relates to the Warranty

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
