Transit Damage

Transit damage can be obvious or concealed, and in either case will
only be admitted by the carrier if it is reported as agreed in the terms
of their agreement. For any claims against damage in transit, the
following general rules apply.

Agilent 4100 MP-AES instruments are inherently robust, and the
packaging is designed to prevent damage. It must be remembered
that the contents form part of a precision measuring system and all
packages should be handled accordingly. In transit, sharp jolts and
shocks must be avoided and the packages must not be inverted or
tilted unnecessarily. Markings on the shipping cartons generally
indicate the required orientation of the carton.

Before accepting delivery, you should inspect the packages for
signs of obvious damage. The nature of any obvious damage must
be noted on the carrier's waybill, and then must be countersigned
by a representative of the carrier.
Within the time limits stated in the terms of conditions of
carriage, a further inspection must be made for concealed
damage. If any damage is found at this stage, the carrier must be
notified in writing and all packaging material must be retained
for subsequent inspection by a representative of the carrier.
A copy of any damage report must be forwarded to the Agilent
Sales Office dealing with the supply of the equipment.
