Usage Terms
QuickManifolds® is a web based service, powered by the patented AutoRouter™ technology*.
It designs hydraulic manifolds from schematics created in VEST HyDraw® for Visio.
The service is available at QuickManifolds.com, which is owned, promoted and managed
by VEST, Inc.
Scope of Schematics
Schematic will be limited to 12 screw-in cartridges, or 8-10 cartridges with up
to a maximum of 2 D03/D05 interface. Orifices in a manifold are treated as cartridges.
Optimization of Design
1. Goodness of design is offered as-is.
2. While QuickManifolds.com designs manifolds for minimal construction holes and
small
block size, there is no pressure-drop optimization in the design.
Correctness of Design
- The internal connections of the design are checked by QuickManifolds for correctness.
- The internal design is based on a minimum wall-thickness specified by the Subscriber. The Subscriber assumes responsibility for the consequences of choosing a specific wall-thickness. The Subscriber understands that it is the Subscriber's responsibility to interpret machine duty cycle, operating pressure, material, and desired endurance life, etc., in order to request a minimum wall-thickness from QuickManifolds designs.
- The external geometry of the components assembled on the manifold is controlled by input from the Subscriber. VEST is not liable for errors resulting from incorrect Subscriber input.
- Subscriber understands that QuickManifolds.com cannot check a circuit for its intended function. Errors in the circuit design will be mirrored in the manifold design.
- The Subscriber agrees that all hardware manufactured from designs produced through QuickManifolds.com will be tested for safe operation before being put into production.
- In the event that a design is claimed as incorrect, VEST's liability is limited to refund a maximum of two times the cost of the design claimed as incorrect, and additionally, issue credit for a re-design. VEST accepts no other liability and provides no other warranty.
- Subscriber agrees to hold VEST, Inc. harmless for any and all liabilities that may arise in connection with this service.
Availability of Service
1. It is understood that while VEST will make every effort to ensure that the service
is available
at all times, there may be times when the service is unavailable
momentarily.
2. If the Subscriber wishes to cancel a particular design submission due to unavailability
of
service, the charges for that design will be reversed.
Guarantee of Results
Designs once submitted to QuickManifolds, cannot be cancelled. For schematics
which have a large number of components and/or a large number of connections, QuickManifolds
may fail to deliver a result. No charge will appear on Subscriber's account if QuickManifolds
fails to design.
If the Subscriber believes that a design produced is unacceptable, then the Subscriber
must notify VEST within 3 business days of the design being created. Charges for
the design will be reversed within an additional 3 business days of such notification,
and the credit will appear in the Subscriber's account.
Software from QuickManifolds
1. Subscription to QuickManifolds.com entitles the Subscriber to free download of
the
QuickManifolds Viewer. The viewer can be installed on any number of machines.
The viewer
can only be used to view QuickManifolds manifold designs.
2. When the Subscriber terminates subscription to QuickManifolds.com, Subscriber
agrees to
uninstall all installations of the QuickManifolds Viewer.
Mandatory Software purchase
1. QuickManifolds.com requires HyDraw or MDTools software to submit circuits for
manifold
design. The Subscriber must purchase a minimum of one license of either
HyDraw
schematic drawing software, or MDTools for Inventor or SolidWorks.
2. The Subscriber must have a maintenance & support subscription for the licenses of HyDraw
or MDTools purchased.
Subscription Restrictions
The subscription minimum fee, entitles only the Subscriber the rights to use the
service. This subscription cannot be shared with others. Violation will result in
cancellation of subscription privileges.
Terms of Agreement
This agreement sets the terms for one year of service. VEST may unilaterally change
