2. Lifetime Warranty (excludes RFusionID)

Assuming any Polyfuze® Label, which has been kept in accordance with Polyfuze® Raw Label Limited Warranty, is properly applied by the customer, Polyfuze® Graphic Corporations® warrants that the legibility and print quality of its Polyfuze® Label will outperform other labels available today for injection (and other) molded polyolefin plastic durable goods (normal wear and tear excepted including normal discoloration and fade due to atmospheric conditions), for the “intended life-use†” of the product from the date of application under normal and intended use and service conditions. This warranty is expressly limited to any applied Polyfuze® Label that is proven to be defective in material and/or workmanship to the satisfaction of Polyfuze® Graphic Corporation. If the applied Polyfuze® Label fails to meet the warranty criteria of good commercial legibility and print quality under normal conditions, the customer must timely notify Polyfuze® Graphic Corporation of any claimed defects and provide proof of the allegedly defective label to Polyfuze® Graphic Corporation for inspection.
