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)๏ผš

  • 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 valueย (for other distributors, not exceeding 20% of the supply value).

Non-Compensable Conditions๏ผš

  • Minimal corner chips not affecting usage
  • Minor scratches not affecting usage
  • Slight color variations due to natural wood grain differences
