• Environmental conditions or use exceeding design standards
• Damages resulting from : vandalism, accidents, incorrect installation, inadequate maintenance, neglect, misuse, abuse, incorrect measurements provided by the customer.
• Power surges or any type of physical damage to the material or its electrical connections.
• Smart Tint does NOT install like traditional window film. For example: “Do NOT pop bubbles with a pin, as the film is electrified and this will result in an electric shock and permanently damage the film.”
• Smart Tint is not to be cut in the field. Smart Tint can only be trimmed at the factory prior to shipping. Field trimming can only be preformed by a Smart Tint® Authorized Installer. Any other field trimming will automatically void warranty.
* NOTE: FINISHED SIDE PROTECTIVE RELEASE LINER MUST BE REMOVED WITHIN 7 (SEVEN) DAYS POST INSTALLATION.
Do not store un-installed material in direct sunlight as the UV light may imprint on the release liner of the film and an impression of the film installation labeling that is on the finish side release liner of the technology. Do not store film in original shipping container for longer than 14 days as it is rolled around a tube and may curl the product. If storing for an extended amount of time lay the film flat on a clean table in a hermetically controlled environment {indoors only}. You may stack and cover all pieces with card board or a thick blanket as to protect against any UV exposure or physical damage. The finished side release liner must be removed within 7 days post installation on interior glass projects and with 48 hours of exterior window glass projects.
The customer is responsible for all shipping and handling charges with any claims of warranty. –
If your package is damaged, crushed, punctured, or opened prior to your acceptance, DO NOT accept package.
Smart Tint is custom manufactured and all sales are final.
No Standard Limited (2) Year Warranty will be enforced and no exchanges will be made if the Smart Tint film has been cut, trimmed, altered, bent, kinked, dented, nicked, scratched, incised, gouged, gashed, scored, if the protective backing has been peeled off, or if the film has been installed already. However, this coverage is available with our paid Premium (5) Year Warranty.
All Videos and Photos of your project that are sent or uploaded to Smart Tint become the sole property of Smart Tint, inc. and can be allocated to any internet, web or social media platform at our discretion. An operating video of the finished product is required to honor any warranty disclaimer.
We do not guarantee the clarity or opacity levels and all material is sold as a custom application. Smart Tint® is a linear technology. For best optical performance, view looking straight on at the film. Depending on lighting conditions you may see a hue at an angle.
Warranty turn around time response is a minimum of 1 week from date of package receipt unless otherwise stated.
We make no claims to the appearance of clarity or opacity in the installed state due to the many environmental factors. For large projects that encompass multiple windows we recommend you install 1 piece first and wait 24-48 hours for product acclimation and evaluate in multiple lighting conditions and a static temperature of normal operating mode.
There can be no claim of any product defect after protective film has been removed from either side of product for the Standard Limited (2) Year Warranty.
Smart Tint® is not responsible for any damage occurring from not following our installation guidelines. Most importantly please cover the wire transition to the film with a non-conductive trim or the fore mentioned Smart Film Edge Sealant. DO NOT OPERATE your Smart Tint® installation until the approved Smart Film® Edge Sealant is 100% cured and dry. This process could take 4-24 hours post install.
It is assumed that these warranty conditions are accepted by form of initial order payment receipt.
