Safety Information and Warnings

Tensive Effects – Product Safety Information

IMPORTANT! READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE.

Your safety and the longevity of your Tensive Effects pedal are important to us. Please read and understand the following safety information before operating your pedal. Failure to follow these safety instructions may lead to product damage, damage to other equipment, personal injury, or damage to property. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Tensive Effects shall not be liable for any such damage or injury resulting from non-adherence to the safety information provided herein.

1. Electrical Safety

Power Supply Unit (PSU):

  • Correct Specifications: ALWAYS use a power supply unit (PSU) with the correct specifications as set out in your product's owner's manual and as available in the product information on the Tensive Effects website.
  • The primary concern is using the correct voltage and polarity (e.g., centre-negative).
  • The PSU must be capable of supplying at least the current (mA) required by your pedal.
  • Using an incorrect PSU can severely damage your pedal and the PSU, and is a fire hazard.
  • This damage is not covered by warranty.

Damaged PSU/Cords:

Do not operate your pedal with a damaged PSU, power cord, or plug. If the PSU or its cord is damaged, replace it immediately with a unit that meets the specified requirements.

Phantom Power:

Ensure that any cables connected to your Tensive Effects unit (especially from mixers, audio interfaces, or other studio equipment) DO NOT have +48V phantom power enabled. Phantom power can cause immediate and permanent damage to your pedal. This damage is not covered by warranty.

Accessibility:

Position your PSU so that it is easily accessible and can be quickly unplugged if necessary.

Powering On/Off & Connections:

To prevent sudden loud noises or electrical surges that may cause damage to hearing, speakers, or other equipment:

  • Always turn OFF all devices in your audio signal chain (including amplifiers, mixers, and other pedals) BEFORE making or changing any connections to or from your Tensive Effects unit.
  • Ensure your amplifier is turned OFF or its volume is fully down BEFORE powering your Tensive Effects unit ON or OFF.

Internal Access & Modification:

  • No User-Serviceable Parts Inside: Your Tensive Effects unit contains no user-serviceable parts.
  • Do Not Open: Opening the enclosure of your pedal can expose you to the risk of electric shock (especially if inadvertently connected to power) and can damage sensitive electronic components.
  • Unauthorised opening or modification of the unit will void your warranty.

Fuses & Batteries:

Your Tensive Effects unit does not contain any user-accessible fuses or internal batteries for operation.

Lightning Storms:

During an electrical storm, or if the unit will be unused for extended periods, unplug the power supply unit from the mains power outlet to prevent damage due to lightning and power line surges.

2. Operating Environment & Physical Handling

Liquids & Moisture:

Keep your Tensive Effects unit away from all liquids and sources of moisture. Do not operate in wet conditions or expose it to rain, splashes, or condensation. Spills can cause severe damage and electrical hazards.

Temperature & Sunlight:

  • Operate your pedal within a reasonable temperature range (e.g., 0°C to 40°C or 32°F to 104°F).
  • Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
  • Avoid leaving the pedal in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause overheating or damage to the finish.

Ventilation:

While most pedals are sealed, if your unit has any ventilation openings, ensure they are not blocked to allow for proper air circulation.

Dust & Dirt:

Operate in a relatively clean environment. Excessive dust or dirt can potentially affect switches and potentiometers over time.

Physical Shock & Impact:

  • Avoid subjecting your Tensive Effects unit to heavy shock, such as dropping it or placing heavy objects on it.
  • Allow sufficient space between pedals on your pedalboard to prevent accidental stomping on knobs, switches, or adjacent controls, which could cause damage.

Cable Management:

  • Secure cables properly to prevent tripping hazards.
  • Ensure that cables connected to your Tensive Effects unit are not under excessive strain, which could damage the jacks or plugs on the pedal or the cables themselves.

Placement:

Always place your pedal on a flat, stable surface to prevent it from falling or being accidentally kicked.

3. Cleaning

  • Clean your Tensive Effects unit using only a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth.
  • Do NOT use solvents, alcohol, abrasives, or any other chemical cleaning agents, as these can damage the finish, labels, or components of your pedal.
  • Ensure the unit is disconnected from power before cleaning.

4. Hearing Safety

Effects pedals can significantly alter the volume and characteristics of your instrument's signal. Always start with your amplifier volume at a low level when first using a new pedal or sound setting, and gradually increase it to a comfortable listening level to protect your hearing from sudden loud sounds.

5. Servicing

If your Tensive Effects unit requires servicing, please refer to our Product Warranty Terms and Conditions and contact us at support@tensiveeffects.com. All servicing should be performed by Tensive Effects or qualified service personnel authorised by us.

6. Responsible Disposal

When your Tensive Effects unit reaches the end of its life, please dispose of it responsibly in accordance with your local e-waste and recycling regulations. Do not dispose of it with general household waste.

Thank you for choosing Tensive Effects. Enjoy your pedal safely!

Estimated delivery times will be provided by the shipping carrier at checkout once you have entered your delivery address and selected a shipping method. Please note that all delivery times are estimates only and are provided by the respective shipping carriers. Tensive Effects cannot guarantee delivery dates.

7. Shipping Address Accuracy

It is your responsibility to provide a complete and accurate shipping address at the time of purchase. Tensive Effects is not responsible for orders shipped to incorrect or incomplete addresses provided by the customer. If a package is returned to us due to an incorrect or incomplete address, or if redirection is required, you will be responsible for any additional shipping charges incurred.

9. Customs, Duties, and Taxes (for International Orders)

Customers with shipping addresses outside of Australia are solely responsible for all import duties, sales taxes (such as VAT or GST in your country), customs clearance fees, brokerage fees, and any other taxes or charges levied by your country's customs authorities or other governmental bodies upon arrival of the goods in your country. These charges are not included in the product price or the shipping cost paid to Tensive Effects. Tensive Effects has no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. We recommend you contact your local customs office or tax authority for more information on potential charges before placing your order.

If you refuse to pay these charges and the shipment is consequently returned to Tensive Effects, any refund issued will be for the product cost only, less the original shipping cost paid to Tensive Effects, any return shipping costs incurred by Tensive Effects, and any other fees or duties charged to Tensive Effects by the carrier or customs authorities for the return. The product must be received back by us in its original, undamaged, and saleable condition for any such refund to be considered. If the product is abandoned or disposed of by customs due to non-payment of these fees, no refund will be issued.

10. Lost or Damaged Shipments

Lost in Transit:

  • If your order does not arrive within a reasonable timeframe beyond the carrier's estimated delivery date, please contact us at support@tensiveeffects.com with your order number.
  • We will initiate an investigation with the shipping carrier to locate your parcel.
  • An item will be considered officially "lost" only after the carrier has concluded its investigation and declared the parcel as undelivered and lost.
  • If the carrier declares your insured shipment as lost and undelivered, Tensive Effects will issue a full refund for your order.

Damaged in Transit:

  • Upon receiving your order, please inspect the packaging and contents carefully.
  • If your order arrives damaged, please contact us at support@tensiveeffects.com within five (5) days of delivery.
  • You must provide your order number and clear photographic evidence of both the damaged product(s) and the damaged packaging (including the shipping label).
  • Tensive Effects will use this information to lodge a claim with the shipping carrier.
  • If the carrier accepts the claim for damage during transit for an insured shipment, we will arrange for a replacement of the damaged product(s) to be sent to you.
  • Please retain all original packaging and damaged items until the claim is resolved, as the carrier may require them for inspection.

11. Undeliverable or Refused Packages

If a package is returned to Tensive Effects because it was undeliverable (e.g., incorrect address provided, recipient not available for multiple delivery attempts by the carrier) or if you refuse the delivery for reasons other than shipping damage confirmed by us or a mistake on our part:

  • The original shipping charges paid by you are non-refundable.
  • You will be responsible for any return shipping costs charged to Tensive Effects by the carrier.
  • If you request a refund, the refund will be for the product cost less the original shipping charges and any return shipping costs incurred by Tensive Effects.
  • A restocking fee may also apply.

Alternatively, you may opt to have the order reshipped, in which case you will be responsible for paying the new shipping charges and any return fees incurred from the initial failed delivery.

12. Order Consolidation & Backorders

If you order multiple items, we will generally ship them together in one package once all items are available. If an item in your order is on backorder (as outlined in our Terms and Conditions), your entire order will be held until all items are available for shipment. We do not typically split shipments unless by special arrangement.

13. Holiday Periods & Peak Seasons

Please be aware that during peak shopping seasons (e.g., November-December holidays, major sales events) and public holidays, shipping carriers may experience higher volumes, which can lead to longer than usual delivery times. We recommend placing orders well in advance during these periods.

If the order has already been shipped, it cannot be cancelled but may be eligible for return under our separate Returns Policy (if applicable).

2.6. Payment:

Payment for all orders must be made in full at the time of placing the order through the available payment methods on our Site.

2.7. Taxes, Duties, and Import Fees:

  • The prices displayed for products on our Site and the shipping charges cover the cost of the item and its shipment by Tensive Effects.
  • You, the buyer, are solely responsible for any and all local import duties, sales taxes (such as VAT, GST in your country of import), customs clearance fees, brokerage fees, and any other taxes or charges that may be levied by your country's customs authorities or other governmental bodies upon arrival of the goods in your country.
  • These charges are not included in the purchase price or shipping cost paid to Tensive Effects.
  • Please check with your local customs office for information on potential charges before placing your order.
  • Refusal to pay these fees will not entitle you to a refund from Tensive Effects if the product is returned or disposed of by customs.

2.8. Shipping and Delivery:

Our shipping practices are outlined in our separate Shipping Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Risk of loss and title for products purchased from Tensive Effects pass to you upon our delivery of the items to the shipping carrier. While we will assist with claims where possible, you are responsible for liaising with the carrier for any loss or damage occurring after this point, subject to any rights you may have under applicable consumer laws.

2.9. Returns and Refunds:

Our policy regarding returns for reasons other than warranty claims (e.g., change of mind, if permitted) will be outlined in a separate Returns Policy. All warranty claims are subject to our Product Warranty Terms and Conditions.
