Un-Authorized internet sales Buyers Beware
It has come to our attention that product originally sold as export to Canada is starting to show up back in the U.S. market. Beware that product sold as export, that comes back into the U.S. market for sale, carries no warranty or service with Zapco.
Here are some things to remember when buying Zapco product:

* 1) Product is purchased on internet websites other than zapco.com. (zapco.com is the only authorized site)

* 4) You are not the Original Owner of the Equipment, Warranty does not transfer owner ship
* 5) Sales reciept must have your name, address, phone number and date of purchase
Zapco product has a 3 year warranty if purchased and installed by an authorized Zapco Dealer. This warranty is void if;
* 1) Product is purchased on internet websites other than zapco.com. (zapco.com is the only authorized site)
* 2) Product does not have original Zapco Serial number
* 3) Product is not purchased from and Authorized Zapco Dealer.
* 4) You are not the Original Owner of the Equipment, Warranty does not transfer owner ship
* 5) Sales reciept must have your name, address, phone number and date of purchase

REMEMBER NO ONE IS AUTHORIZED TO SELL ZAPCO OVER THE INTERNET.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU ARE BUYING FROM AN AUTHORIZED DEALER
Zapco Buyers Beware!
It has come to our attention again that companies known as Woofers etc. and acaraudio.com are selling Zapco products on the Internet.
We emphatically say Woofers etc. and acaraudio.com are not authorized Zapco dealers.
Also, we don't know exactly how it's happening but amplifiers bought from the two companies and sent to us for repair have lost their original Zapco serial numbers, even the serial numbers we carefully hide inside each unit.
This removal or defacement of the official Zapco serial number voids Zapco's product warranty completely and borders on legally questionable action.
We once again warn all of you out there to make absolutely certain you are buying a fully warrantable Zapco product by asking to see the original ARPA of America Warranty Registration Card originally shipped with the unit (a serial number is always affixed to this card) or ask for the actual serial number and call us to verify its authenticity.
Tampered products hurt you and damage the reputation you've come to expect from Zapco products.
Beware and check for an original Zapco serial number every time you buy Zapco.
A World Wide Problem
Yes they are everywhere making claims. For example, www.caraudiosa in South Africa is not a Zapco distributor, and they are not a Zapco dealer.
The pictures on their web site were stolen directly from our 2002 catalog. Most of the products on the site are at least 3 model years old.
Remember, if you buy our product from this type of company you will not receive any support from Zapco or from our representative in your country.
If you have questions about finding our current products at a legitimate reseller, you can check our International Distributor list or mail us at sales@zapco.com
