Q-Beam 260-LED User Manual Rev. 01d 

Returns 

Procedure 

 

The user must send the merchandise prepaid,  in the original box,  and  with its original 
packing and accessories. CHAUVET® will not issue call tags.  

Call CHAUVET®  and request a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #) 
before shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number, 
and a brief description of the cause for the return. 

The user must clearly label the package with a Return Merchandise Authorization 
Number (RMA #). CHAUVET® will refuse any product returned without an RMA #. 

 

 

 

 

 

DO NOT write the RMA # directly on the box. Instead, write it on a properly affixed 
label. 

 

 

 

   

Once you receive  the  RMA #, please include the following information on a piece of 
paper inside the box: 

 

Your name 

 

Your address 

 

Your phone number 

 

The RMA # 

 

A brief description of the problem 

Be sure to pack the fixture properly. Any shipping damage resulting from inadequate 
packaging will be 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 
returned product(s). 

   

 

Claims 

 

The carrier is responsible for any damage incurred during shipping to this product or any 
part that shipped with it. Therefore, if the received  merchandise appears to have 
damages caused during shipping, the customer must submit the damage report and any 
related claims with the carrier, not CHAUVET®. The customer must submit the report 
upon reception of the damaged merchandise. Failure to do so in a timely manner may 
invalidate the customer’s claim with the carrier. 

For other issues such as missing components or parts, damage not related to shipping, 
or concealed damage, the customer must make claims to CHAUVET® within seven (7) 
days of receiving the merchandise.
