6.1 Due to the characteristics of the processes of calendaring (including compression and stretching of the material, sublimation…) and tolerances in use in this business and in the interest of simplification for our clients as for ourselves our kg prices are established on the basis of a theoretical density; the maximum gap between the density obtained after calendaring and theoretical density is of +/-5% for thicknesses greater than or equal to 300 microns and +/-8% for less than 300 microns thickness. Moreover, some manufacturing defects can be identified on the workpiece and offset our initiative according to the customs of the profession.

aspects.

3.5 Our liability cannot be incurred beyond the amounts guaranteed by our insurers. Only written complaints and about past and confirmed in writing commands, can be taken into consideration, being however understood, in any event, that slight variations of thickness, color, within the limits of Normal tolerances, can justify a claim. In addition, the processes of calendaring is by nature likely to generate defects inherent in the technique (especially small defects of surface of the bites, scratches… type) the client cannot rely on them to establish a claim.
