Our Policy Regarding Beta and Research Products
Adopted February 26, 2001
Our policy for accepting and reviewing beta products and those that are still in the development phase are as follows. We are more then happy to assist in the development phases of a product but these guidelines must be followed and agreed upon prior to shipping any product for these purposes.
1 . We must agree to accepting and reviewing a beta or research product prior to shipment. We will do a review on such a product but we need to know the status of the product prior to sending it to us so we are prepared to review the product accordingly.
2. You must notify us if the product needs to be returned after reviewing it prior to shipping the product. We must know prior to agreeing to accept the product if it needs to be returned.
3. A return label or arrangements for sending the product back must be included in the shipment. We cannot pay postage to return a product back to you. This must be done at your expense.
4. Products currently available to the public cannot be sent back. This is a business and we consider this compensation for the time and efforts of reviewing the product and posting it on our site. On each review every manufacturer gets a link going from our site to theirs at the end. If more then one company's products are reviewed a link to each product will be
placed. We don't charge any fees to do this or any service we provide as a courtesy to companies nor do we ask for anything in return except the ability to retain any products we review. We feel this is a small price to pay for the exposure the company will receive as a result of us posting the review on our site.. Again, this does not apply to products still being developed and in need of opinions to improve the quality of the product.
5. We cannot be held responsible for any damage done to products subject to being returned. Products will be treated with as much care as possible. We want to maintain a relationship with those who support our company and intrust such products to us. If something happens to a product while it is being reviewed and used, a full explanation of what happened as a result in efforts to correct any problems with the unit prior to introducing it to the public will be included in the review. We look forward to seeing a product on the market that we helped review and seeing the changes made that we felt, in our opinion, need to be done.
6. Pictures of every beta and research product will be posted to our site to show other companies and individuals what products have been reviewed by us. In fairness to the companies trying to improve their products and market them to the public we will not post our findings and any faults with the products. Spec sheets with a picture of the product MUST be included in shipping materials. For our records these cannot be returned.
This policy is subject to updates and changes without notice.
