Limit of Liability
BEGA's liability under the BEGA Limited Warranty is expressly limited to the repair or replacement of such parts where, in BEGA’s sole judgment, damage is caused by a manufacturing defect and not misuse, accident, alteration, negligence, abuse, or tampering, and is limited to repair or replacement being made at the factory.

All freight charges to and from the factory will be borne by the purchaser. BEGA’s Limited Warranty excludes claims for lost profits, indirect, special, or consequential damages, labor, performance, materials, or deductions from invoices. Unauthorized repairs or alterations will void BEGA’s Limited Warranty.
Damaged Merchandise or Lost in Transit
All BEGA shipments are F.O.B. Factory. Once all shipments are delivered to the transportation company in good condition, then BEGA’s liability ceases at that time. If a shipment is received damaged and/or concealed damage is found, notify BEGA at once to issue a claim and request an inspection. Without this inspection the transportation company will not consider a claim for loss or damage.
If the shipment is not delivered in accordance with the quantity of cartons or packages as shown on the Bill of Lading and/or Freight Bill, do not accept it until such shortages are noted on the Bill of Lading and/or Freight Bill.
Loss or disputes with carriers regarding damaged product does not relieve the buyer’s obligation to pay the full amount of BEGA’s invoice in a timely manner. Shipments must be inspected by the receiver immediately upon receipt for noticeable transportation loss or damage. BEGA must be notified immediately to enter a claim with the freight carrier.
All claims against BEGA, including claims for shortages and errors, must be made in writing within ten days after delivery. Failure to make any such claim within ten days shall constitute acceptance of the merchandise and waive any such shortages, errors, or other claims.
