What Is Included

Claims

Carefully unpack the product immediately and check the container to make sure all the parts are in the 

package and are in good condition.
If the box or the contents (the product and included accessories) appear damaged from shipping, or show 

signs of mishandling, notify the carrier immediately, not Chauvet. Failure to report damage to the carrier 

immediately may invalidate your claim. In addition, keep the box and contents for inspection.
For other issues, such as missing components or parts, damage not related to shipping, or concealed 

damage, file a claim with Chauvet within 7 days of delivery.
