ALL SHIPMENTS MUST BE CAREFULLY INSPECTED AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY

Purchaser must carefully inspect all items for damage while the delivery carrier is still present, and must note any damage with the carrier, in order to file a damage claim. If the purchaser accepts the shipment without inspecting it first, the purchaser is accepting the product as is, and it is unlikely that a successful damage claim could be filed with the carrier.

Stone Age Manufacturing shall not be responsible for any cost or monetary loss associated with such damage, and any replacement parts would be provided at normal retail cost. Inspections should include removing plastic wrapping and inspecting for potentially hidden damage not visible through the plastic wrapping. Damage should be noted in writing on the driver’s bill of lading, photos should be taken of the driver’s paperwork, showing the notation of damage, and photos should be taken of the actual damage.
