licensed and incorporated business located in Surrey,
British Columbia Canada.
Precision Disc
Manufacturing Corp. warrants that our products will be free
from manufacturing defects or the defective product(s) will
be repaired or replaced as per the definitions and
guidelines noted herein.
Defective product must be
reported to Precision Disc no later than 14 calendar days
after the product has either [A] been received by the
client, or [B] reached its shipping destination, or
Precision Disc will be deemed to be released from any and
all liability. Precision Disc's liability for defective
product is limited solely to product replacement or repair,
as the case may be, and shall not extend to any further
liabilities whatsoever. The forgoing warranties are
exclusive and are in lieu of all other warranties (whether
written, oral, or implied) including warranty of
merchantability in other respects than expressly set forth
above.
Please note: While
every effort will be made to fill orders within the timeline
quoted at the outset of the project, stated ready-by-dates
(including rush and deadline orders) can not be guaranteed
due to the inherent nature of manufacturing custom-made
goods. Though uncommon, delays can occur and Precision Disc
Manufacturing Corp. is not responsible for (a) any
damages growing out of or owing to any delays, or (b)
compensating the client over-and-above the terms of the
Product Warranty and Claims Policy as stated herein.
CD Content -
Definition of Manufacturing Defect
The quality and
performance of client-supplied content master discs is the
sole responsibility of the client and, thus, the content
master is considered to be in final form and ready to
manufacture as supplied. Manufactured product that does not
perform as per the clients supplied content master qualifies
as a manufacturing defect unless the issue falls into one of
the following categories:
1.
Performance issues with
duplicated media: Compatibility/playback issues can occur
when using duplicated CDR/DVDR media on some playback
devices - the majority of such issues occur due to older
devices having weaker disc-reading capabilities than newer
devices. A compatibility/playback issue that is device
related, where the disc performs properly in some (but not
all) playback devices does not qualify as a manufacturing
defect.
2.
Performance issues with
multimedia and/or enhanced content: Compatibility/playback
issues can occur when using media on some playback devices
that do not support the programming, applications, software,
etc. that are required to properly run the discs content.
Compatibility/playback issues of this nature do not qualify
as manufacturing defects.
3.
A master disc waiver has
been signed by the client: In the event a client wishes to
proceed with the production of their product, (a) despite
stated quality concerns, or (b) without reviewing and
approving a master proof disc, the client must agree to a
Precision Disc waiver which releases Precision Disc from
responsibility for any manufacturing defect subsequently
found in the finished product. In situations where a waiver
has been agreed to by the client, a claim for manufacturing
defects cannot be made.
Printed
Materials Definition of Manufacturing Defect
Unless Proof Option "C"
(pre-approved artwork files - no proof required) has been
selected by the client, electronic proofs are provided for
all printed materials including on-disc printing, paper
inserts and custom printed disc packaging.
It is the sole
responsibility of the client to review all details of the
supplied proof which includes (but is not limited to) the
correctness of the overall layout and design, dimensions,
spelling and punctuation. In order to proceed with
production the client must submit written approval of the
proofs. Manufactured product that does not match the
approved electronic proof qualifies as a manufacturing
defect unless it falls into one of the following categories:
1.
Acceptable colour
variation in printed products: Client supplied artwork files
are expected to be in final form which means they are ready
to print without any modifications or revisions. Printed
materials are produced from the colour values as supplied in
the clients artwork files. Due to the fact that computer
monitors do not provide an accurate/true representation of
the actual colours in the design, colour variation between
the electronic proofs and the final product may occur but
this does not qualify as a manufacturing defect.
2.
If print colouration is a
concern we recommend that hard-copy (printed) proofs be
requested for review and sign-off. If hard-copy proofs are
requested additional charges may be applicable and the
standard production timeline will have to be lengthened to
accommodate the hard-copy proof process. Please contact your
Sales Representative for details.
3.
Please note: Up to 5-10%
color variation between hard-copy and finished product may
be unavoidable due to tolerances inherent with offset
printing processes and this is considered within acceptable
industry standards.
Damage To
The Product That Occurs During Shipping
Precision Disc
Manufacturing Corp. is not responsible for any damage that
may occur to products after they leave our facility and,
thus, such damage does not qualify as manufacturing defects.
All claims for damaged or missing/lost products are to be
made with the third party that transported the products from
Precision Disc.
