  Customer Own Material Program
 

Customers may request fabrics, surface materials, and powdercoats that are not standard to Watson's finish offering according to the guidelines below.

Watson Customer Service will apprise customers of any possible impact on lead times resulting from the use of off-card materials and finishes.

 

Watson shall not be responsible for the appearance or performance of any COM material and customer shall hold Watson harmless for any damages or losses arising out of, or related to, the use of the COM on the Product.

COM orders cannot be cancelled and Watson will not accept product returns. Product repair or replacement is the customer's exclusive remedy for any and all product defects.
