Returns Procedure 

Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing; call tags will not be issued. 

Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandize Authorization Number (RMA #). 

Products returned without the RMA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET® and request an RMA # prior to 

shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number and a brief description 

of the cause for the return. Be sure to pack fixture properly; any shipping damage resulting from 
inadequate packaging is the customer’s 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 product(s). 

If you are given an RMA #, please include the following information on a piece of paper inside 
the box:

 

 

1) 

Your name 

2) 

Your address 

3) 

Your phone number 

4) 

The RMA # 

5) 

A brief description of the symptoms 

 

Claims 

Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper; therefore, the damage must be 

reported to the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's responsibility to notify and 

submit claims with the shipper in the event that a fixture is damaged due to shipping.  Any other claim 

for items such as missing component/part, damage not related to shipping, and concealed damage, 

must be made within seven (7) days of receiving merchandise.
