3.13 Proprietary Tooling. All tooling purchased by the Customer shall be property of the customer. However, any proprietary components of such tooling will remain the property of Senturi and must remain at Senturi or its partners facilities.
3.14 Tooling Transfers. Most tooling developed for a Senturi-fulfilled order is not compatible or transferable to other equipment outside of Senturi or its manufacturing partners’ facilities. As such, all molds and tooling developed for an accepted order is defined as “Non-Export” tooling. If the Customer requires its transfer, the Customer is solely responsible for all associated costs and shall indemnify Senturi for any losses, liabilities, damages or expenses resulting from the transfer.

The Customer can request in writing prior to the 24 month limit to request an extension and Senturi, at its sole discretion, may choose to grant the extension and continue to store the tool for a fee.
3.16 Manufacturing Location. Unless the Customer explicitly states that the manufacturing needs to be done domestically, Senturi reserves the right to use its global network of partners for the quotation of tooling and manufacturing for the project. You acknowledge and agree that Senturi may subcontract or otherwise delegate any order you place for a part to one of Senturi’s partners. As such, you acknowledge and agree that Senturi may share your specifications with our partners to process and manufacture your order. You will not have any obligation to pay any partner directly. For injection molding projects done domestically, Senturi can guarantee that all tooling, TX samples, and production parts will be molded in the United States. However, the tooling may be cut elsewhere to offer the most competitive rates to customers.
3.17 Molding Project Timelines. Senturi will provide the Customer design for manufacturing (DfM) feedback on all injection molding projects. To avoid project delays, the customer must provide feedback on the DFM in 14 days. If the Customer does not provide feedback within this period, Senturi reserves the right to cancel the project and bill the Customer for any work done to date. Additionally, once TX samples (i.e T1) are delivered to the customer, they are also required to provide feedback within a 14 day period. If feedback is not received within that time period, Senturi reserves the right to move forward with production and bill the Customer for the completed parts.
3.18 TX Samples. Any changes to design parameters during the TX sample stage may results in additional expenses to the Customer. Once the Customer provides approval of TX samples, the customer takes on full liability of the design and material choice.
