11.Quality Standards and Compensation Reference
The following criteria serve as a reference for assessing quality issues:
Full Compensation (Replacement or Refund)
Applies to cases severely impacting usability or finished product quality:
- Multiple prominent scratches affecting the finished appearance
- Obvious surface defects compromising project outcomes
- Surface peeling exposing underlying wood core
- Severe warping or bulging affecting flatness
- Edge damage (does not affect practical use)
Full compensation applies only when over half the ordered materials exhibit the above issues. Otherwise, compensation ranges from 20% to 50% based on actual circumstances. Defects are counted by the number of panels affecting practical use, not by individual defects.
Partial Compensation (negotiable):
- Edge damage (does not affect practical use
- Small-scale defects covering a significant proportion of the panel
- Flaws present but not affecting cutting areas
- Specific compensation percentage negotiated based on actual circumstances.
Compensation amount shall not exceed 20% of the order value (for other distributors, not exceeding 20% of the supply value).
Non-Compensable Conditions:
- Minimal corner chips not affecting usage
- Minor scratches not affecting usage
