20. Blank Media Compatibility
20.a. If you encounter any problems with the media that we sell please stop using the media immediately and contact us, if you continue to use the media and continue to have disc failures we are not liable for the "burnt" media with which you have had problems.
Most problems with media are usually related to hardware, firmware compatibility and setup and is not usually the media which is defective.
We get countless emails from people who buy the cheapest media expecting it to work in all DVD players who think they have `Faulty` media.
The media is usually not faulty but simply incompatible with their hardware. Please bear this in mind when purchasing media.
Budget media is hardly ever as universally compatible as quality media.
If you want virtually universal compatibility, we always recommend using media with a quality dye i.e. VERBATIM or SONY DADC.
20.b. Alleged `Faulty Media`. Most customers who experience trouble burning media always leap to the conclusion that the media must be faulty in some way.
In over 97% of these cases the fault lies elsewhere in their setup, or the media is simply incompatible, not defective.
In cases where the customer is adamant that the media is faulty, we have the following test procedure that we follow.
We have 5 test writers here (different makes) and 4 test DVD players. We usually burn 5 discs, 1 in each writer (or in extreme cases 10 discs) then test each disc in each DVD player.
We then compare the results to a previous test using the same media (or we run a new test with same media from different batch of the same media and compare results).
If the media does not show as defective in our test, we will only replace unused media.
These terms of sale and the supply of the goods will be subject to English law and the English courts will have jurisdiction in respect of any dispute arising from the contract,

of Scottish courts.
