Polyfuze Raw Label Material Limited Warranty, Disclaimer, and Waiver of Claims (pre-application)

Thank you for purchasing a POLYFUZE GRAPHICS® CORPORATION Label Product (herein after referred to as the “Product”). We are pleased to present you with this Limited Warranty, Disclaimer, and Waiver of Claims (“Limited Warranty”).

The terms of this Limited Warranty state the entire obligation of POLYFUZE GRAPHICS® CORPORATION (herein after referred to as “POLYFUZE GRAPHICS® CORPORATION”), or its successor and assigns with respect to the Product. The Product is warranted only against any manufactured defects as described below within twelve (12) months from the date of manufacture and prior to application to any substrate. The remedies under this Limited Warranty against manufactured defects are strictly limited to replacement of the Product.

For the purposes of this Limited Warranty being provided to you (referred to herein as “Buyer”), the Product is supplied as a raw material component which is applied to a polyolefin product by Buyer. POLYFUZE GRAPHICS® CORPORATION provides a full warranty that the Product meets technical specifications as tested and qualified by Buyer at the time of delivery.

Should the Product fail to meet the technical specifications within 12 months of the manufacture date and prior to application, POLYFUZE GRAPHICS® CORPORATION will immediately replace, at its expense, the non-complying Product, provided that the Product had been stored in accordance with the following POLYFUZE GRAPHICS® CORPORATION climate-controlled environment storage requirements:

1. The Product should not be pressed or stacked upon.
2. The Product should be stored at a temperature between 10c – 35c.
3. The Product should not be stored in direct sunlight.
4. Partially used Product rolls need to be re-rolled tightly and taped in place after initial use.

In the event these requirements are not followed, this Limited Warranty is void. To prove that the Product does not comply with the technical specifications, Buyer must, in writing within 12 months of the manufacture date and prior to application, provide POLYFUZE GRAPHICS® CORPORATION the Item Code, Item Description, PO Number and ID Number affixed to the inner core of the Product rolls delivered to Buyer, and prove that the storage requirements have been met.

The Product is made from polyolefin materials. Successful application of the Product requires that three application components (e.g. temperature, pressure and dwell time) be in compliance with POLYFUZE GRAPHICS® CORPORATION’S technical specifications for proper application that results in complete fusion of label to substrate. Buyer understands that these settings impact Product performance. Upon request, POLYFUZE GRAPHICS® CORPORATION will provide free phone and/or email technical assistance to Buyer on the proper application of the Product. On-site assistance is also available at a mutually agreeable fee to Buyer. Once the application process has been initiated by Buyer, POLYFUZE GRAPHICS® CORPORATION no longer has control over the conditions to which the Product will be exposed and used under (e.g. application guidelines, operator error, temperature, environment, substrate, chemicals, etc.).
