IMPORTANT! FOR YOUR PROTECTION PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY!


Every TRUVU® product, shipped out of our factory, is checked by a supervisor, foreman and packer. When merchandise is picked up, by the shipping company, the general condition of the packaging is inspected by the driver. The driver signs for the merchandise, thereby releasing TRUVU® from further liability for the merchandise. Although damage, incurred in shipping, is uncommon, you must know the proper procedures and your rights if damage does occur.

1. Open and Inspect your order, prior to signing the delivery receipt!

The shipping company, entrusted with your merchandise, is responsible for damages or loss; however, you waive that liability when you sign for and accept delivery. Don’t be rushed or intimidated by a driver who insists you sign before inspecting the merchandise. Remove the protective packing and thoroughly inspect your order for damage or missing pieces prior to signing. Even when packaging appears to be in good condition, concealed damage may be present. Remember the shipper, not TRUVU®, is responsible for delivery of your merchandise.

2. Damage

Have the driver note the damage on the Bill of Lading, file a damage claim with the carrier and report the damage to TRUVU®, at once!

3. Third party receiver

When you allow a neighbor, relative or contractor to sign for your TRUVU® product, and they fail to inspect it and note damage, you lose the rights you would have had if you had inspected and signed for the merchandise yourself.

Metal Halide lighting: With the popularity of "Reef" aquariums many different types of lighting have been introduced over the last few years. One such type of lighting is Metal Halide. Although most types of Metal Halide lights are safe for use it is not recommended to use Metal Halide lights that produce light in the wavelengths below 400 nanometers. Light below 400 nanometers has been proven in tests** to be destructive to organic material. Since acrylic and all plastics are organic materials this applies to aquariums as well. Any damage to your TRUVU® acrylic aquarium from use with Metal Halide lighting is not covered in the warranty. Please select a Metal Halide light that produces light above 400 nanometers or consider the very popular "Compact Fluorescent" lighting.
