Customer Compensation Documentation

Customer Compensation Documentation is a professional term in the after-sales phase of international trade. It refers to a written document reached by both buyer and seller regarding compensation when exported products have quality issues requiring repair. Usage scenarios typically include: the buyer raises a quality objection, the seller confirms responsibility, and compensates the buyer through repair, replacement, or refund, forming a formal document as the basis for claims, settlement, or insurance claims. Precautions include: the document must specify the compensation method (e.g., free repair, discount, refund), amount, attribution of responsibility, and timeline, and attach evidence such as repair records and inspection reports; it should also state whether other terms of the original contract are affected. The difference from a 'quality claim document' is that the latter focuses on the claim request, while this term emphasizes the compensation plan in the context of repair; compared with an 'after-sales repair agreement,' it focuses more on compensation rather than the repair service itself. Foreign trade practitioners need to ensure the document complies with the applicable law of the contract and international trade practices to avoid secondary disputes caused by ambiguous wording.
