CHECKLIST BEFORE SUBMITTING A CLAIM FOR AN INSTALLED PRODUCT

- Invoice (from reseller, retailer, contractor or other) clearly identifying the Duchesne product purchased for the property.
- Confirmation letter from the contractor who installed the Duchesne products. Note that this document is not a proof of purchase, Duchesne reserves the right, in these circumstances, where the purchase at the retailer was not found, to refuse that proof.
Electronic versions (PDF) of the proof of purchase and pictures taken with any type of device, including mobile devices, are accepted. Any document that is illegible, incomplete, or otherwise presented in such a way as to make authentication impossible will be rejected.
Also attach a picture of any given detail (product label, Duchesne product identification codes, etc.) in order to correctly identify the product related to the claim. This information will allow us to accelerate the processing time of your claim, but remains optional.
Please follow the procedure below for pictures:
