SHIPPING AND INSURANCE
"Delivery" will be FOB Caen point of shipment. Mainland deliveries are shipped via your nominated carrier for all customers with established credit terms. All COD customer deliveries will be routed through Federal Express and charged at cost.

Overseas shipments will be sent via your nominated carrier or agent, details of which should be advised on order placement. All overseas shipments are strictly Ex-Works and all insurance coverage should be arranged by the customer.

All Shipments will be marked as insured on the shipper's bill of lading for the full sale value of the product(s), including the value of any customer-supplied goods shipped with the product. If you are already insured for your shipments and do not require shipper's insurance, we must be notified by written direction directly on each purchase order, or by a written notice faxed or mailed to Caen Engineering which we will keep on file.

Claims for damage during shipment should be directed at first known instance to the courier or agent with a copy to Caen Engineering. We will endeavor to provide any assistance possible.

RMA (RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION) PROCEDURES
If you have any problems with products purchased from Caen or wish to return goods for warranty repair, or credit, the following procedures must be followed:

1. Contact your customer service representative or our Sales Department directly. They will determine if your problem first requires additional technical support. Please be prepared to give a full description of the problem you are experiencing. Item return requests for warranty repair or credit must be submitted on a completed RMA Request Form obtained upon request from Caen Engineering, Inc. RMA Request Forms will require specific part numbers, serial numbers, original order numbers, a fax number and a contact name.
2. Upon approval for product return you will be provided with a valid RMA number. The RMA number is very important as it is used to track your problem in order that we can resolve the situation in as short a time as possible.
3. Product being returned must be shipped back to our factory in the original packaging provided, including palleting of large product to ensure adequate packaging and protection during shipment. If original packaging is unfit for reshipping, new packaging must be ordered from Caen Engineering at a nominal charge and will be sent out to you without delay. All product returns are to be freight pre-paid and insured for the full original net sale value (including any customer-supplied goods included).
4. The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outer carton in which the goods are returned and on all paperwork. RMAs are valid for 15 working days once authorized. Therefore your return must be received by Caen within this time frame, or the number will be canceled. Steps 1-3 above must then be repeated for a new and valid RMA number to be secured.
5. In no case will returned product be accepted from carriers without the RMA number clearly marked on outside of carton. Packages will be refused at the door. No additional items received in packages not specifically authorized for return will be accepted.

CREDITS

Upon receipt, returned goods will be inspected and tested. Goods found to be in original condition, will be issued a full credit. Goods returned damaged, altered or incomplete (including any shipping damage) will receive adjusted credit totals to reflect our cost in rectifying the damage or faults. In this event you will be notified by fax or e-mail of our findings.

NON-WARRANTY REPAIRS
Goods coming back to factory for non-warranty repair must have a pre-authorized RMA number before return. Upon receipt, inspection and/or test, a repair estimate will be faxed or e-mailed to you. Repair work will begin upon acceptance of repair estimate per your purchase order.
