You should have visually inspected the outside of the shipping carton and noted any damage on
the shipping bill you signed. After unpacking, if you find concealed damage to the loudspeaker,
save the packing materials for the carrier's inspection, notify the carrier immediately and file a
shipping damage claim. Although EAW will help in any way possible, it is always the responsibility of
the receiving party to file any shipping damage claim. The carrier will help prepare and file this claim.

All units returned must have a factory Return Authorization Number. Any units received without
