Warranty

WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Only Kalena Branded Instruments are covered under this limited manufacture’s warranty. Accessories, clothing, plastic toys, etc are not covered. Failure to use a humidifier on all solid-wood instruments while stored will void the warranty. Kalena® recommends keeping the instrument in a gig bag or hard case while not in use. Certain sound hole designs prevent the insertion of a humidifier into the instrument. The humidifiers can be placed directly in the gig bag or hard case to achieve the desired effect.

Damage, corrosion or rusting of any hardware components or damage to finishes or cracks, splitting, or warpage of wood due to changes in temperature or humidity, or from exposure to extreme temperatures, acts of nature, dry climates, or salt air climates,  or exposure to moisture, contact with sun, fire,, body salts and acids of perspiration will void the warranty.

Kalena® warranty is non-transferable and good for one year after purchase date on wooden instruments and 90 days after purchase date on electronics. Kalena® reserves the right to determine upon inspection if the warranty claim is valid or not. This warranty only covers product defects that would cause the product not to operate normally. Events caused by the owner such as animal bites, acid burns, sediment buildup, bent connectors, etc. are not covered under this warranty. This warranty does not cover shipping and handling charges to and from Kalena®. The buyer understands that the cost of return shipping on a product for replacement and the additional cost of shipping a new product may cost more than the original purchase. It is advised that the buyer visit a Kalena® store directly after a claim is accepted.
