Please note that invoices for all custom products and developments are issued in advance, and must be fully prepaid prior to commencement of fabrication. These costs are non-refundable and custom products are non-returnable.  The ultimate responsibility for on-site compatibility rests with the customer, and we can provide limited technical support.  Please make sure of full usage and compatibility of all components with your systems prior to purchase.  We quote normal delivery times of 1 week or longer, based on our current stock, components availability, work schedule, and other factors.  In some instances there may be delays in fulfilment beyond quoted delivery dates, and we urge customer patience and understanding to effectively complete orders.  All components and assembled modules are tested during the assembly process.  Please note that all products in OEM (bare) format are non-returnable consumables (which includes all photodiode amplifiers, amplified and unamplified photodetectors, photodiodes, and microwave components), the purchase of which requires payment in advance, prior to shipment.  Once these products are subjected to soldering, packaging, and possibly careless general handling, they could be compromised by ESD and other external forces and may not perform to original specifications.  We are not responsible and / or liable in any way for any misuse or any damage by any operator, in any operation involving our products, in any capacity, to any systems at end user sites, and to any employees / contractors / personnel and their belongings.  We do retain the right to refuse service or terminate service for any reason determined by us for which notification may be provided verbally, by e-mail, by phone, or by any convenient means of communication.  This could occur, for example, if component parts are declared obsolete by the (OEM) manufacturer, or stock is unavailable, or the project is unfeasibile, or if the product is updated, or for any other reason assessed solely by us, at our discretion, which could make service unattainable / unachievable.  We eschew returns requests for superficial reasons or for used and/or damaged products, habitual delays in payments, requests for free products and services, requests for price changes and adjustments.  Please refer to items 08.-12. below for issues pertaining to invoices and payments.  ALL shipments are FOB ORIGIN, and once the package containing purchased products leaves our facility and is deposited at the shippers desk / dock, and a receipt is issued by the shipper, we have absolutely no control or responsibility over its route and its condition to the customer specified destination address.  We highly recommend that ALL high value purchases are insured by the customer to protect your purchase investment, and to mitigate loss in the event of damage or non delivery.
