Warranty

Spaun Drums

Spaun Drums and hardware carry a one year warranty against any manufacturing defect from the original date of purchase. All electronics, including LEDs, controllers, and power supplies have a warranty of 30 days. Our warranty does not apply to the following: a) Improper maintenance or repair, including the installation of parts or components that do not conform to the quality and specification of the original. b) Items that have been altered, modified or have been damaged through misuse, negligence or improper operation. c) Items with badge or serial numbers changed or removed. d) Items subjected to abnormal strain, neglect, abuse, modification or exposure to extreme variances in temperature or humidity. e) Special Finishes - all plating including, but not limited to, Gold plating, Satin Chrome, Black Nickel, Powder Coating, and lacquered finishes. Each are highly sensitive to cosmetic damage that can occur during normal handling and use. Plating and Powder Coating often have minor imperfections due to the coating process and these imperfections are considered within tolerance. Plating and powder coating can and will wear off. Particularly on snare drums from rim shots or anywhere it is struck or rubbed against. Therefore, no warranty of any kind, is provided against cosmetic defects or appearance to these finishes. f) LED double stick tape can lose adhesion dependent on weather conditions, exposure to direct sunlight, shipping, handling, or other factors. Any loss of adhesion is not covered by warranty and is easily rectified by the end user with reinstallation using new double stick tape. g) Threads- on lugs, clamps, and all hardware are not covered against cross-threading or stripping. h) Color matching to previously made drums is not guaranteed, we will do our best to get close. i) Striped finishes can be imperfect at the seam and have an acceptable tolerance of 1/4". j) Wood hoops are fragile and not recommended on snare drums for heavy hitters. Consider it like a drum stick, it WILL wear out. How long it lasts depends on how hard and often you hit it and breakage is not covered under warranty. If you need warranty service, call or email us for instructions on how to do so.
