1. Raw Label Limited Warranty (includes RFusionID)
For the purposes of this Limited Warranty, the Product is considered a raw material component applied to a polyolefin product by the Purchaser.

Assuming any MIGS® Label, which has been kept in accordance with MIGS® Raw Label Limited Warranty, is properly applied by the customer, Mold In Graphic Systems® warrants that the legibility and print quality of its label will outperform other labels available today for polyolefin plastic durable goods (normal wear and tear excepted including normal discoloration and fade due to atmospheric conditions), for the “intended life-use†” of the product from the date of application under normal and intended use and service conditions. This warranty is expressly limited to any applied MIGS® Label that is proven to be defective in material and/or workmanship to the satisfaction of Mold In Graphic Systems®. If the applied MIGS® Label fails to meet the warranty criteria of good commercial legibility and print quality under normal conditions, the customer must timely notify Mold In Graphic Systems® of any claimed defects and provide proof of the allegedly defective label to Mold In Graphic Systems® for inspection. If the applied label is determined defective, Mold In Graphic Systems® will provide the customer with label credit or a replacement label at no charge for the customer to re-install and/or place over the defective part in question as an alternative to molding another part.
