Installation:

All products require professional installation. For the best possible fitment, we recommend having an expert install your product(s) û someone who has experience working with composites. Although some body shops have been in business for many years, they may not have sufficient experience in installing carbon fiber or fiberglass components. Make sure that your installer is familiar with these products. Buyer understands that some products may require modifications for correct fitment. Minor adjustments may be necessary as part of the normal installation process. All carbon fiber and fiberglass products will not sustain heavy force or weight, for they could be cracked by such force or weight. Do not over tighten threaded fasteners (hand tighten only), composite components will not withstand high pressure and may crack or fail by such force. Anderson Composites has made an effort to produce all its aftermarket products to fit the original factory vehicles as closely as possible. However, some occasional prepping may be necessary for an ideal fit. The buyer needs to perform these steps to his/her satisfaction before installation. If the buyer wishes to paint the products, he or she must pre-fit the parts to the vehicle before painting to ensure proper fit. There are absolutely no returns on painted products.

Hood Pins:

All hoods require hood pins for safety reasons. Anderson Composites will not be liable for any damages to the product and the vehicle caused by not properly using hood pins.

Heat Shields:

Anderson Composites requires the use of heat shields for all carbon fiber and fiberglass hoods. Heat shields help avoid pre-mature aging of the product. Damages to the hood that results from the absence of heat shields will not be covered under warranty.

Shipping Damage:

Anderson Composites packs all products carefully to prevent damage during shipping, however, damage may still occur occasionally. Buyer must inspect the packaging and the products carefully upon receiving them, then accept the shipment and notate any damages and irregularities, such as crushed, torn, punctured, or broken parts on both the packaging and the product, on the freight bill or receipt at the driverÆs presence. Buyer must retain all cartons, packing materials, and damaged products for the carrierÆs damage inspector to inspect. Do not refuse shipment or return it without approval, because the buyerÆs right to make a damage claim may be denied. A signed receipt without any notation indemnified the carrier as well as Anderson Composites from any further damage claims. Discovery of damages after a clear delivery becomes the responsibility of the customer. Please document the product and box with at least 3 photos and email within 24 hours.

Email 3 photos to ShippingDamage@andersoncomposites.com, use tracking number as the subject line.

All damages must be notified to carrier, dealer and Anderson Composites within 24 hours. In cases of damage with proper notation on receipt, the carrier will determine whether to pay for repair cost or replacement value of the damaged goods after damage inspection. Replacement value is the amount the buyer paid to the distributor and is not negotiable. All disputes about the settlement amount should be addressed with the carrier. Anderson Composites, under no circumstances, shall be liable for the damaged product or for subsequent settlement of the claim with the carrier.

Defective Products:

All products require professional installation. Minor adjustments might be necessary. These are normal body work and installation steps. Therefore it is NOT considered to be defective. In addition, most carbon fiber products are hand-crafted, and no two items will be identical. Small imperfections such as wavy weaves, small bubbles, and clear finish blemishes are inevitable. Pictures are required to demonstrate true defects on products prior to return. In the event such parts prove defective following their purchase and installation, the buyer assumes the entire value of any cost related to installation, repair or replacement. Anderson Composites will not be held liable for anything other than replacement of said defective part and will not incur any other costs. See below for information on our return policy.

If the buyer decides to return any part of the ordered item, he or she must contact the distributor who in turn can contact Anderson Composites and receive a return authorization within three (3) days of receiving the parts. A Return Authorization number (RA number) will be issued to the buyer by Anderson Composites, and it must be written on the outside of the packages being returned. Returned products must be received back at Anderson Composites within 10 days of issuing the return authorization.

Shipping and Backorders:

Anderson Composites tries to maintain a good stocking level in order to prevent backorders. However, in case a backorder is necessary, Anderson Composites will ship the order as soon as the parts become available. Backorders must be canceled within five days from when the order is placed, or before when the parts become available, whichever is sooner. Otherwise, the parts will automatically be shipped to the buyer. Anderson Composites tries to ship regular, in-stock items in 3-5 business days. Please allow 5-10 working days for in-stock items to arrive. All shipping dates are approximate. Buyer is fully responsible for all shipping charges, unless otherwise negotiated with Anderson Composites. Shipping to residential addresses (as opposed to business addresses) will incur additional costs.

Contingencies:

Anderson Composites shall not be liable for any failures to produce product to buyer when the cause of such failure is the result of the forces of nature, labor disputes, supplies or material shortage, acts of local, state, national, civil, or other authorities or public agencies; utility or communication failures, accidents, strikes, transportation problems, or any act or cause that does not normally occur in the ordinary course of Anderson Composites business.
