Scope

Record acceptable condition in the quotation. Cosmetic grade and the functional-test scope are different requirements.

Dependencies

For mixed builds, state which components are new and which are pre-owned. Do not describe the entire assembly with an unqualified single label.

Evidence

Ask for actual-unit images, replaced-component lists and test scope. Independent refurbishment is not automatically manufacturer certification.

Commercial boundary

Set warranty term, exclusions, return procedure and region explicitly. Other retailers warranties are not inherited by this website.

Handover

At receiving, compare condition, identity and accessories to the accepted bill of materials and document discrepancies.

Facility reference scenes

Warehouse and test-bench environment for the equipment family this guide supports.
