In order to make a claim under this Limited Warranty, you must first contact TAYLOR GUITARS (or, alternatively, any authorized 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 GUITARS for a return authorization number. Call Customer Service +1 619 258 1207. 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 GUITARS 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 GUITARS; and (c) your name and phone number and your address to which the product is to be returned. If you fail to contact TAYLOR GUITARS 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 GUITARS 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, with 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.
