Unpacking and Damage
This merchandise was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected; save all
packing material if apparatus is received damaged.
Responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by the carrier upon
acceptance of the shipment; therefore, claims for loss or damage sustained
in transit must be made upon the carrier by the recipient as follows:
Visible Loss or Damage: Note any external evidence of loss or damage on
the freight bill, or express receipt, and have it signed by the carrier's agent.
Failure to adequately describe such external evidence of loss or damage
may result in the carrier's refusing to honor your damage claim. The form
required to file such a claim will be supplied by the carrier.
Concealed Loss or Damage: Concealed loss or damage means loss or
damage which does not become apparent until the merchandise has been
unpacked and inspected. Should either occur, make a written request for
inspection by the carrier's agent within 15 days of delivery date; then file a
claim with the carrier since the damage is the carrier's responsibility.
If you follow these instructions carefully, we guarantee our full support of
your claim to be compensated for loss from concealed damage.
DO NOT, FOR ANY REASON , RETURN THIS UNIT WITHOUT
FIRST OBTAINING AUTHORIZATION. In any correspondence to
Thermo, supply the nameplate data, including catalog number and serial
number.
