Any custom ordered window film for any project is paid for by the customer 100% prior to ordering the product. If the job is cancelled or the customer does not want the product for any reason the film cost is non-refundable. If an issue arises the customer must submit their complaint in writing and give Accurate Tinting the opportunity to see the issue and try and resolve the issue prior to pursuing any legal actions. Since all window film installations are customized to the customers specifications Accurate Tinting must be given the opportunity to address any issues, including removal and reinstallation, before the client issues a credit card charge back or disputes. In the event that the client does request a credit card charge back or dispute, the customer will be liable for all legal fees and or additional costs that were incurred to Accurate Tinting. If a credit card dispute is decided in the favor of Accurate Tinting and we suffer any losses due to the client’s actions; the client is liable for all legal fees, court costs, etc. If the customer fails to make full payment on an invoice or completion of service, then the customer authorizes Accurate Tinting to remove the window film from the windows if installed.

Any existing scratches, cracks or other damage will be visible through the film, and such surface damage or imperfections may damage the film, cause the film to fail prematurely or the window film material may not adhere to the surface at all. We are not responsible for broken windows if there is existing damage prior to installation.
SECTION 8 - CONTENT
We reserve the right to refuse any work or vehicle for any reason.
SECTION 9 - INSTALLATIONS
Window film is a pliable material that is made to be installed on glass. We are a business who applies film carefully & always strive for quality installs. But due to static & floating particles a job will never be 100% particle free or perfect.
Per the IWFA (International Window Film Association) The glass with applied films shall be viewed at right angles to the glass from the room side and at a distance no less than six (6) feet. Viewing shall be carried out in natural daylight, not in direct sun light. The installation is deemed acceptable if all of the following are unobtrusive (effects during 30 day cure time should be disregarded); dirt particles, hair and fibers, adhesive gels, fingerprints, air bubbles, water haze, scores and scratches, film distortion, creases, edge lifting, nicks and tears. If any of these conditions still exist after 30 days we request the customer return at such time to have us evaluate the film. WE CANNOT DO AN INSPECTION OVER THE PHONE, VIA EMAIL OR THROUGH PICTURES; WE MUST SEE THE VEHICLE/GLASS AT OUR LOCATION FOR INSPECTION. Accurate Tinting is the installation company only we are not the manufacture.
ONCE INSTALLED WINDOW FILM MATERIAL IS INTENDED TO BE VIEWED FROM A DISTANCE OF SIX (6) FEET FROM THE GLASS AND IS DEEMED AS ACCEPTABLE.
While we make every effort to get the film as close to the edges as we can, when window film is installed there may be slight gaps. This allows for the water used in the installation to be squeegeed out. This also ensures that the film edges are not raised up by contact with the frame margin, dot matrix or other moldings, etc. Contact with the frame, dot matrix or moldings can lead to peeling of the film. A gap may also exist due to the type of glass or windows that the film is installed on, which Accurate Tinting is not responsible for.
WINDOW FILM COMES IN MANY DIFFERENT SHADES, COLORS, AND OPTIONS AND IS SELECTED SOLEY BY THE CUSTOMER AND IS INSTALLED AT THEIR REQUEST. Accurate Tinting IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CUSTOMERS CHOICE IN FILM SELECTION OR FOR BUYERS REMORSE.
Installation time is based upon many factors including but not limited to, film selected, curing time, places where window film is being installed, size of windows, size of vehicle, complexity of installation areas and any unforeseen circumstances that may arise. We will make every effort to give reasonable time frames for installation but reserve the right to change them at any time for any reason.
SECTION 10 - REMOVALS
All removals for window film are quoted separately as an additional cost. Window film removal can be very time consuming and costly and is billed as such. Accurate Tinting is not responsible for the condition of the glass underneath the film being removed or for any damage that occurs when such material is removed from the glass/vehicle. Accurate Tinting is not responsible for any damage that occurs to the vehicle at the owner’s request.
SECTION 11 - WARRANTY & MATERIALS
All materials are installed per the customer or authorized representatives request. We are not the manufacture of the product and all warranties are offered through the manufacture of the product. For warranty information you must visit the manufacture website. Accurate Tinting is the installer of the product, not the manufacture. However, if there is something wrong with the product our manufactures do stand behind their products as do we, so please do not hesitate to contact us. Damage done to the film by the customer or any third party is not a warranty issue and will not be covered as such. Accurate Tinting is not liable for services that are contracted out to other facilities for work to be performed. If an issue arises the customer must contact that specific company directly for any warranty issues or concerns regarding that companies product or services.
SECTION 12 - AFTER CARE
Do not roll the windows down for the first 3-5 days after film is installed. You will see bubbles and haziness (the moisture between the glass and the film) in the windows until the film has fully cured. This can take 30 days depending upon the film and the environment your vehicle is stored in. Avoid using abrasive cloths when cleaning the film. Do not use any ammonia-based products to clean the film, only use tint safe products. If you do need to return for any reason WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE BRING A FRESHLY CLEANED CAR TO THE CHECK-UP SO WE CAN SEE AND ADDRESS ALL AREAS AT THAT TIME. We must physically see the vehicle or glass in person in order to address any issues; phone conversations, emails, or pictures will not suffice.
SECTION 13 - VEHICLE MAINTENANCE/TOWING/TRANSPORTATION, ETC.
Accurate Tinting is not responsible for the vehicles maintenance, condition or any mechanical malfunctions that may occur when the vehicle is in Accurate Tinting possession. If a vehicle needs to be repaired or taken to a repair shop/dealership for any reason, including but not limited to: maintenance, recalls, electronic malfunctions, parts, etc. Accurate Tinting is not responsible for any of the costs and is the owners sole responsibility to pay for those costs.
