Repair Terms
“Customer” authorizes Clay Art Center and its employees to operate, test, inspect, disassemble, and reassemble equipment as reasonably necessary for diagnostic and repair purposes. Customer acknowledges that a diagnostic fee is required and due prior to any repair work. Diagnostic fees are non-refundable and apply regardless of repair approval. No repairs beyond diagnostics will be performed without Customer authorization. Authorization may be given verbally, electronically, or in writing.
Customer acknowledges that repair timelines are dependent on parts availability and supplier transit times, which are outside the control of Clay Art Center. Delays related to parts sourcing or shipping do not constitute breach of service or grounds for cancellation of diagnostic fees. Clay Art Center shall not be liable for loss, theft, fire, vandalism, or damage to equipment, parts, or accessories, including but not limited to damage occurring during handling, testing, storage, or delivery, except where caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Customer is responsible for providing accurate contact information. Clay Art Center will make reasonable, good-faith attempts to notify Customer using the information provided.
Payment in full, or valid credit card information, is required prior to release of equipment. Completed repairs must be picked up within 10 business days of notification of completion. If repairs are declined, equipment must be picked up within 5 business days of notification. Customer authorizes disposal of replaced or faulty parts unless otherwise requested in writing prior to repair. Equipment left for more than 60 days after notification of completion or repair declination will be deemed abandoned. Clay Art Center may dispose of or sell abandoned equipment to recover unpaid charges, including diagnostic, repair, and storage fees, without further notice or liability.
