Returning 

Products to 
CHAUVET® 

Call the corresponding CHAUVET® Tech Support office and request a Return 
Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number before shipping the product. 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 product 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).
