Returning 

Products to 

CHAUVET® 

Call  the  corresponding  CHAUVET®  Tech  Support  office  and  request  a  Return 

Merchandise  Authorization  (RMA)  number  before  shipping  the  fixture.  Be  prepared  to 

provide the model number, serial number, and a brief description of the cause for the 

return. 
You must send the merchandise prepaid, in its original box, and with its original packing 

and accessories. CHAUVET® will not issue call tags.  
Clearly label the  package  with  the  RMA  number.  CHAUVET®  will refuse  any  product 

returned without an RMA number. 

 

 

 

DO NOT write the RMA number directly on the box. Instead, write it on a properly 

affixed label. 

 

 

 

Before sending the product, clearly write the following information on a piece of paper 

and place it inside the box: 

  Your name 

  Your address 

  Your phone number 

  The RMA number 

  A brief description of the problem 

Be  sure  to  pack  the  fixture  properly.  Any  shipping  damage  resulting  from  inadequate 

packaging will be your responsibility. As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-

boxing is always a safe method to use. 

 

 

 

CHAUVET®  reserves  the  right  to  use  its  own  discretion  to  repair  or  replace 

returned product(s).
