Shortages and Damage Claims: Examine shipments on receipt for shortages or damages, and file claims immediately with the Carrier. All damages or shortages must be noted on the Carrier's Bill of Lading when receiving shipment. We will assist you in filing claims. Bills of Lading covering shipments are an acknowledgment by the Carrier of receipt of product in apparent good condition. If shipment is not delivered to you in good condition, it is your responsibility to make a claim against the Carrier. Always have the shortage or damage noted by the delivery driver on both his/her and your copy of the delivery receipt with his/her signature. These notations should also appear on the freight bill. Make your claim promptly to the Carrier, for the Carrier will not consider a claim unless presented within ninety days from the date of delivery. If the shipment is to be rejected, notify J.C. Whitlam Manufacturing Company. If you accept from a Carrier a shipment that is short or damaged, without having proper inspections and notations made, you do so at your own risk. If there is concealed damage, call the Carrier's representative or agent to view the damage and have him/her mark the freight bill. Also obtain a copy of his/her inspection report. Concealed loss or damage, discovered after delivery of shipment, must be reported to Carrier's agent or representative immediately upon discovery, but no later than 15 days after receipt. Claims for loss or damage cannot be deducted from our invoice, nor payment of invoice withheld awaiting adjustment of such claims.
