1. Terms of Return Policy
Chartwell requires Purchasers make a good faith effort to maintain inventory on a first-expired, first-out basis (FEFO), to actively attempt to sell or effect intra-company transfers of all Product or to contact Chartwell in a timely manner for assistance reducing significant quantities of merchandise that are, or will become, short-dated. Failure to do so may result in Chartwell denying the return.
Products returned are subject to final review and acceptance by Chartwell and will be processed in accordance with the return policy in effect when the return is requested. Products received at Chartwell become the property of Chartwell, who reserves the right to dispose of the merchandise or declare no credit value. Product received outside of policy guidelines will not be returned to Purchasers and no credit will be issued. Chartwell reserves the right to request proof of purchase in the form of an invoice identifying the name of the supplier, which is (or was at the time of purchase) a Chartwell Authorized Distributor of record (“Authorized Distributor”); the specific Purchaser for whom return is being requested; lot or serial number; quantity and date of purchase.

2. Return Procedure
