SECTION 6. DAMAGE CLAIMS
AND WARRANTY
A. DAMAGE CLAIMS
1. Thoroughly examine the enclosure as soon as it is
received. If damaged, write on the face of the freight bill a
complete and detailed description of the damage. Have the
carrier's agent sign the description.
Note: Insist that the carrier's agent verify the inspection
and sign the description.
2. Immediately notify the delivering carrier of damage or
loss. This notification may be given either in person or by
telephone. Written confirmation must be mailed within 48
hours. Railroads and motor carriers are understandably
reluctant to make adjustments for damaged merchandise
unless inspected and reported promptly.
3. Risk of loss of, or damage to merchandise remains with the
Buyer. It is the Buyer's responsibility to file a claim with the
carrier involved.
4. Immediately advise your Veeder-Root representative,
distributor, or the factory so that we may assist you.
B. RETURN SHIPPING. All shipments of Veeder-Root
products must be prepaid. Equipment must be packed in a
strong exterior container and surrounded by shock absorb
ing material. Veeder-Root will accept no liability for damage
caused by improper packing. It is suggested that the original
shipping container be used if it is available. Address sh ipment
to Veeder-Root Co., 6th Avenue at Burns Crossing, P.O. Box
1073, Altoona.PA 16603.
