CLAIMS FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE & DISPUTES
All TERON products are carefully inspected, tested and packed, before leaving TERON’S facility in proper condition. “Risk of loss” passes to the buyer once product leaves TERON’S facility. The buyer has the assigned responsibility for immediately inspecting the received product upon delivery. If upon inspection any merchandise is delivered in damaged condition or cartons are missing, it must be noted on all papers signed by the receiver. If unreported or concealed damages are noticed after the delivery, the carrier should then be contacted by telephone or fax. The customer must file a claim for loss or damage within 15 days of receiving merchandise. The buyer must make all claims for damage or loss, directly to the carrier. Credit cannot be issued for damage claims that are not properly substantiated with supporting documentation received by TERON within the acceptable 15-day window or according to the specific carrier’s guidelines. Disputes with carriers regarding damages do not relieve the buyer’s obligation to pay the full amount of TERON’S invoice within terms.

ARBITRATION & VENUE In the event of a dispute between TLI and Customers pertaining to orders placed, such dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules in the state of Ohio.
