Guarantee
All of our products carry the warranty stated for each individual item against cracking, discolouration and delaminating. Please note that the vast majority of problems found with Window Films are due to installation error and not product failure and this is not covered under warranty. We recommend that customers follow our installation instructions accurately to promote a trouble free product life. This does not affect your statutory rights.
You agree that it is your responsibility to determine if your glass is suitable to have window film fitted to it. Tintfit Window Films cannot be held responsible for any glass breakage or cracking that may result in the fitting of window films to your glass. Please phone 0191 419 4558 for any further information on film compatibility.
We reserve the right for ourselves and our suppliers to inspect claims under the above warranty prior to any settlement being authorised, in any event this could take upto 120 days.
When purchasing a product the buyer agrees that the product installation quality is determined by their own, or their appointed installer’s ability and Tintfit Window Films cannot be held responsible for defects or breakages resulting from poor installation. These include, but are not limited to, bubbling, visual impairment, scratches, glass breakage or cracking, damage to surrounding fixtures and fittings, paintwork, personal injury and financial loss.
Window film is made in batches which can result in slight shading differences during the manufacturing process, usually not more than +/- 5%. It is recommended that where possible the full installation is completed using the same master roll to avoid shading differences. This is especially important when joints are used on larger panes. Shading differences in the film are not covered under the guarantee.
Tintfit Window Films does not guarantee that the use of safety/security products will prevent injury or criminal access. The films when applied professionally do comply with the Health & Safety Regulation 14 and Building Regulations Document N however self application does not qualify the glass to these regulations. The film is tested to BS6206/EN12600 which categorises the performance of the film and from these tests it can be concluded that safety /security film does increase protection against injury but does not necessarily eliminate injury. Similarly the performance of safety/security films can increase the time and effort required to break through glass but does not prevent access by determined attackers.
Returns Policy
All of our products come with a 14 day returns guarantee. Just send the item back to us in its original condition within 14 days of delivery and we will gladly refund your money. We do not require a return authorisation. Returns will be subject to a 20% or £20.00 re-stocking fee, whichever is greater, if the return is due to customer error. We recommend you use an insured carrier to return the item. We will not be responsible for any return postage costs.
Please email us before returning any item on sales@tintfit.com.
If your order is damaged in any way once you receive it i.e. creases in the film, please email or phone us straight away and do not attempt to fit the film, we will replace the damaged unused goods as soon as possible. (We are unable to replace damaged goods if you have tried to fit them).
Your rights to return goods are protected under the EU Distance Selling Directive which can be found at http://www.hmso.gov.uk/si/si2000/20002334.htm
