Before unpacking the equipment, check the shipping carton for any visible
damage. If you see any, be sure to follow the procedures described below
under “Visible Loss or Damage.” Otherwise, proceed to remove the equipment
from the carton. Before disposing of any packing material, check it carefully
for small parts. Then perform a visual inspection of the equipment to detect
any evidence of damage which might have occurred during shipment. Check
the following:
1. all components against the enclosed packing list,
2. all module plug-in units,
3. all wire plug-in connections.
The equipment was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving
our factory. All units are tested and checked for problems prior to shipping. It
is asked that when a problem does occur that all parts and components be
inspected for damage (especially when the unit is not in working order when
received). Responsibility for safe delivery was assumed by the carrier upon
acceptance of the shipment. Claims for loss of damage sustained in transit
must therefore be made upon the carrier, as follows:
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be noted on the freight bill or
express receipt, and signed by the carrier’s agent. Failure to adequately
describe such external evidence of loss or damage may result in the carrier’s
refusal to honor a 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. The contents might have
been damaged in transit due to rough handling even though the container
may not show external damage. When the damage is discovered upon
unpacking, make a written request for inspection by the carrier’s agent within
48 hours of the delivery date. Then file a claim with the carrier since such
damage is the carrier’s responsibility. The form required to file such a claim
will be supplied by the carrier. Do not destroy packing materials, or move
material from one location to another before the carrier makes their
inspection.
If the system or any unit is damaged, notify “Sonics.” “Sonics” will arrange for
repair or replacement of damaged equipment without waiting for the claim
against the carrier to be settled, provided a new purchase order is issued to
cover the repair or replacement costs. Should any damage, shortage or
discrepancy exist, please notify us immediately.
NOTE: We recommend
keeping all carton(s) and
packing material in case it
might be necessary to
move the equipment, or to
ship it for repair.
