Palette — Limited Warranty & Returns
Updated June 19, 2017
(This warranty applies to both Palette and Palette+.)
Here’s the gist of the warranty, without all the legal jargon:
First year or 50,000 splices
Mosaic provides a manufacturer's limited warranty to cover material and workmanship defects in Palette for the first year or 50,000 splices (whichever comes first). If you find something wrong with the material or in the workmanship of your Palette in the first year or 50,000 splices of you receiving your Palette, we’ll send you the parts and clear instructions you need to fix your Palette, and we’ll cover the cost of parts and shipping for these issues. If necessary, we may choose to send you a replacement Palette (which may be refurbished).
Beyond 1 year or 50,000 splices
If there is something wrong with your Palette beyond 1 year or 50,000 splices of you receiving your Palette, we’ll make reasonable attempts to work with you to fix it. We want you to love printing with Palette as much as we do, and if there are reasonable steps that we can take to help, rest assured that we will endeavor to take these steps.
Please don’t feed Palette a glass of milk. Palette has lactose intolerance.
If you launch Palette in a catapult, test Palette’s buoyancy in a pool, use Palette to prop up a vehicle during a tire change, or feed Palette spaghetti -- well, you might be able to make some hilarious videos, but as far as warranties go, we ain’t honoring them! We won’t honor warranty claims that result from using Palette for activities that are not in line with its intended uses (no matter how funny they may be).
We also don’t cover unapproved modifications to Palette
We’re inspired to help make 3D printing tech better every day by makers, tinkerers, artists, engineers, and all those who see their craft as more than just work. We know that many of these lifelong learners love taking things apart, modifying them, and putting them back together -- we love to do these things too. However, Palette is a very precisely tuned system; the slightest modifications to its systems can drastically affect its performance -- especially the quality of its splices (have a look at the challenges encountered while manufacturing Palette’s drive systems to pass our QC tests: new highly-tunable drive systems, challenges with splices, drive systems & splicing failures, drive quality control). The point of all this is to say: please email us before making any modifications to your Palette, or you will void your Palette’s warranty. We’ll either (1) say yes, go ahead and make that modification, or (2) provide you with reasons why that modification might not be a good idea, including voiding your warranty.
Other stuff to keep in mind
(1) Please keep the receipt (or email confirmation) from your Palette purchase.
(2) The warranty applies to the person or party who buys a Palette directly from Mosaic or from an authorized Palette reseller. This warranty is not transferable.

Now, here’s the actual legal warranty we are providing:
Limited Warranty

E. EXCLUSIONS: This warranty is not applicable to cases other than defects in material, design, and workmanship. The warranty does not cover alleged Palette failure, or damages arising from Palette failure, that may have been caused in part or whole by:
i. improper handling during shipping;
ii. normal wear and tear in Palette’s use;
iii. unusual physical or electrical stress;
iv. parts installed or altered that were not certified or approved by Mosaic;
v. improper, incorrect, and/or unauthorized modifications, alterations, or repair;

vii. failure due to incorrect assembly, installation, or use not consistent with the instructions (including safety and standards discussed in Palette’s user manual);
viii. accidents, Acts of God, lightning, fire, water, improper ventilation, electrical surges, or causes beyond Mosaic’s control.
MOSAIC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR OBJECTS, OR THE APPLICATION OR USE OF OBJECTS, ARISING OR CREATED FROM USE OF PALETTE.

G. LIMITATIONS/DISCLAIMERS: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE END-USER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST MOSAIC WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW. EXCEPT FOR THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, MOSAIC MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE, WITH REGARD TO PALETTE’S PERFORMANCE. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED. MOSAIC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, COLLATERAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF USE OR LOSS OF PROFITS, EVEN IF MOSAIC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CLAIMS OR DAMAGES.
