Customer-Supplied Parts
Customers may provide original components, samples, plugs, or other items for use in reproduction, design, tooling, or manufacturing.
Condition Upon Receipt
COVEX Carbon may document the condition of customer-supplied property upon receipt, including through photographs or video. Customers should disclose any known damage, repairs, brittleness, rarity, or other condition that may affect the component before sending it to COVEX Carbon.
Manufacturing Risk
Tooling and composite manufacturing may require exposure to heat, pressure, vacuum, chemicals, release agents, adhesives, molding materials, disassembly, or other processes that can affect an original component.
If COVEX Carbon determines that a process creates a material risk of permanently altering or damaging a customer-supplied component, we may require the customer's approval before proceeding.
Approval of a disclosed manufacturing risk means the customer accepts the reasonably foreseeable risks specifically disclosed for that process. It does not waive responsibility that cannot legally be waived.
Loss or Damage
If customer-supplied property is lost or damaged while in COVEX Carbon's possession, responsibility will be determined according to the circumstances of the loss or damage and applicable law.
Any contractual limitation on COVEX Carbon's liability for rare, discontinued, collectible, unusually valuable, or irreplaceable customer property must be separately disclosed and agreed upon where appropriate.
Customers should notify COVEX Carbon before shipment if a supplied component is rare, discontinued, irreplaceable, or has a replacement value substantially greater than the value of the order.
Inbound Shipping
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, customers are responsible for the cost of shipping customer-supplied property to COVEX Carbon.
Customers are responsible for adequately packaging their property and are encouraged to use tracking and shipping insurance appropriate to its value.
COVEX Carbon is not responsible for loss or damage occurring before customer-supplied property is delivered to and accepted by COVEX Carbon.
If COVEX Carbon provides a prepaid shipping label, responsibility for shipping loss or damage will be determined by the terms communicated for that shipment and applicable carrier coverage.
Return Shipping
Return shipping, packaging, freight, and insurance for customer-supplied property may be included in the project quote or charged separately.
Any special shipping arrangement should be confirmed before the project begins.
