A cleaning charge of $75.00 per hour will be assessed for any additional cleaning or removal of existing window film material. Shade Custom Tint is not responsible for the condition of the surface the car is brought to us in. 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 prior damage prior to installation. WE AR NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDITION OF THE GLASS/VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE WINDOW FILM BEING INSTALLED OR WHAT IS UNDERNEATH THE WINDOW FILM ONCE IT IS INSTALLED.
RETURNS: Window film material is a non-returnable item once the material is ordered, cut and or installed per the customer’s personal request. If the job is cancelled or the customer does not want the product for any reason the film cost is non-refundable. All returns are at the discretion of Shade Custom Tint. If an issue arises the customer must submit their complaint in writing and give Shade Custom Tint 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 Shade Custom Tint must be given the opportunity to address any issues, including removal and reinstallation, before the client issues a credit card charge backs or check cancellations. In the event that the client does request a credit card charge back or check cancellation, the customer will be liable for all legal fees and or additional costs that were incurred to Shade Custom Tint. If a credit card dispute is decided in the favor of Shade Custom Tint 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, then the customer authorizes Shade Custom Tint to remove the window film from the windows if installed. SINCE WINDOW FILM IS CUSTOM INSTALLED TO THE CUSTOMERS SPECIFICATIONS ONCE THE FILM IS CUT AND OR INSTALLED ALL CONTRACTS ARE FINAL AND NO MONETARY REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED.
ESTIMATES: Estimates are good faith estimates and are based on the current information Shade Custom Tint has at the time the estimates are given. Estimates given are good for 30 days and are subject to change.
VEHICLE INSPECTION/CONDITION: Shade Custom Tint will complete a pre-inspection the day the car is delivered and alert the customer of any concerns prior to work being performed. We will also perform a post-inspection once the vehicle is completed prior to the release of the vehicle.
Shade Custom Tint is not responsible for the condition of the surface the of the vehicle or the glass prior to installation. 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.
CONTENT: We reserve the right to refuse any work or vehicle for any reason.
INSTALLATIONS: Window film is a pliable material that is made to be installed on glass. We make every effort to make the look as clean and seamless as possible, however, there may be certain surfaces that window film will not adhere to such as plastic, rubber, dot matrix, etc. and customers are not advised to install on such areas. If the customer requests that these areas be installed, we are not responsible for the material not sticking or adhering to those surfaces and the manufacture will not warranty such items.
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 30-60 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 30-60 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. 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 Shade Custom Tint 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. SHADE CUSTOM TINT 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 instillation but reserve the right to change them at any time for any reason.
In most cases bubbles and haziness will subside in the 30-60 day cure time. We DO NOT require a 30-60 day check-up for window film. However, if you see any areas of concern please return to our location with the vehicle so we can see the vehicle first hand and to be able to address any issues at that time. If you do not return within the 30-60 day required time frame to address any issues we are not responsible for the condition of the window film material or any installation issues. Shade Custom Tint is the installation company only we are not the manufacture.
REMOVALS: All removals for window film are quoted separately and are based on a per hour basis. Window film removal can be very time consuming and costly and is billed as such. Shade Custom Tint 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. Shade Custom Tint is not responsible for any damage that occurs to the vehicle at the owner’s request.
WARRANTY AND MATERIALS: All materials are installed per the customer or authorized representative’s request. We are not the manufacture of the product and all warranties are offered through the manufacture of the product the customer specifically ordered. For warranty information you must visit the manufacture website or brochure for specific information regarding the product(s) you ordered. Shade Custom Tint 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.

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
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 30-60 days depending upon the type of film you select and the environment your vehicle is stored in. Avoid using abrasive washing cloths as well as drying towels when cleaning the film. Do not use any ammonia-based products to clean the film, only use tint safe products. Be sure to return for your free 30-60 day check-up (ONLY IF NECESSARY). 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.
VEHICLE STORAGE FEES: Vehicles left beyond the authorized pickup day (definition of authorized pickup day: is the date vehicle is ready to be picked up and the client has been notified) will be charged $50.00 per day, per occupied space, until the vehicle or vehicles have been picked up and paid for.
