If your claim is denied or out of warranty

Common reasons JBL denies a claim or treats it as out of warranty:

Damage resulting from accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, or unauthorized repair.
Product purchased from an unauthorized dealer or without valid proof of purchase.
Normal wear and tear, including cosmetic damage that does not impair functionality.
Missing original packaging or accessories, which may be required for certain returns.

Third-party protection plans (Asurion, Upsie, SquareTrade) or your credit card's purchase protection may still cover a repair or replacement — check those before paying out of pocket.
