Introduction
The following procedure describes the shipping coordination procedure between NavVis and the Reseller Partner.
If the device is still under warranty, NavVis organises and co-ordinates and pays all costs related to shipping and repair of the device.
If the device is no longer under warranty, the costs for shipping will be included in the initial quotation.
Batteries and SSD/USB C-flash drive
Batteries are considered Dangerous Goods and should never be sent to a NavVis office!
If devices are sent with batteries, the whole shipment can be blocked at air freight boarding, adding significant time and complications to the process.
For data security reasons and to prevent any accidental data loss, do not ship the device with the SSD or USB stick, these should remain with either the Reseller Partner or the End Client.
