CLAIMS FOR SHORTAGES
We use extreme care in selection, checking,
rechecking and packing to eliminate the possibility
of error. If any shipping discrepancies are
discovered:
1 . Carefully go through the packing materials to be
sure nothing was inadvertently
overlooked when the unit was unpacked.
2. Call the distributor you purchased the product
from and report the shortage. The contents of
the shipping container are packed at the
factory and none should be missing if the box
has never been opened.
3. Claims should be filed within 30 days.
PRODUCT CHANGES
Reichert reserves the right to make changes in
design or to make additions to or improvements in
its products without obligation to add such to
products previously manufactured.

CLAIMS FOR DAMAGE IN TRANSIT
Our shipping responsibility ceases with the safe
delivery in good condition to the transportation
company. Claims for loss or damage in transit
should be made promptly and directly to the
transportation company.
If, upon delivery, the outside of the packing case
shows evidence of rough handling or damage, the
transportation company’s agent should be
requested to make a “Received in Bad Order”
notation on the delivery receipt. If within 48 hours
of delivery, concealed damage is noted upon
unpacking the shipment and no exterior evidence
of rough handling is apparent the transportation
company should be requested to make out a “Bad
Order” report. This procedure is necessary in
order for the dealer to maintain the right of
recovery from the carrier.

copy of the purchaser’s invoice.
This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties
implied or expressed. All implied warranties of
merchantability or fitness for a particular use are
hereby disclaimed. No representative or other
person is authorized or allowed to make any other

defend such action at its expense and will pay
costs and damages in any such action, provided
that Reichert shall have sole control of the defence
of any such action with information and assistance
(at Reicher''s expence) for such defence, and of all
negotiation for the settlement and compromise
thereof.
