The Website and the documents offered for download provide general information about PLAS and the technology it is developing. They are not an offer, quotation, warranty or commitment of any kind.

• Technical parameters, specifications, descriptions and illustrations are indicative, depend on material, configuration, operating mode and experimental conditions, and may change without notice.
• Scientific and technical information is based on particular experimental conditions, unless stated otherwise. It is not a guarantee of results under other conditions, with other materials or in other laboratories.
• Images, diagrams and renderings are illustrative and may not show a final design.
• No statement on the Website or in a downloadable document becomes part of any agreement unless a written agreement signed by PLAS expressly incorporates it. Binding specifications, if any, are defined only in such an agreement.
• Any supply of equipment or materials, any participation in a pilot program and any transfer of samples are subject to a separate written agreement or written terms provided by PLAS.
