CLAIM FOR DAMAGE IN SHIPMENT
Under the FOB factory terms of sale, ownership and responsibility are transferred to the customer when the
equipment leaves the factory. Each Behlman equipment is shipped from the factory in proper operating
condition.
Immediately upon receiving equipment, unpack and inspect it for evidence of damage incurred in shipment.
File a claim with the freight carrier if the equipment has been damaged in any way or it fails to operate
properly. Forward a copy of the damage claim report to Behlman. Include the model number, serial number
and date the shipment was received. Behlman will advise the disposition of the equipment and will arrange
for necessary repair or replacement.
RETURNING EQUIPMENT TO FACTORY
Do not return equipment to the factory without prior authorization from Behlman.
A RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION NUMBER (RMA) is required to return equipment.
This equipment, like all precision electronic equipment, is susceptible to shipping damage. It contains
heavy magnetic components as well as delicate electronic components.
If equipment is returned without prior authorization, the shipment will be refused, the customer being liable
for all shipping, handling and repair costs.
When packing for reshipment, use the original shock absorbent material and shipping container to preclude
damage to the equipment.
Insure that the return authorization numbers (RMA) is available on the container for identification.
