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 look as clean and seamless as possible, however, there may 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 Simply design ltd (sdesign) 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. Simply design ltd (sdesign) 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. Simply design ltd (sdesign) 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. Simply design ltd (sdesign) 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. Simply design ltd (sdesign) is not responsible for any damage that occurs to the vehicle at the owner’s request.

If an issue arises the customer must contact that specific company directly for any warranty issues or concerns regarding that companies product or services.
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 2-10 days depending upon the type of film you select and the environment your vehicle is stored in. Avoid using abrasive washing clothes 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 2-10 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.
