ALERTS & DISCLAIMERS

1) Please be aware that this service is provided for storing the data and does not mean the corrective action comments will be reviewed by PrimusLabs.

2) When stating that a question's corrective action(s) has/have been "fully completed", please note that this must mean that the corrective actions have been completed in full, not partially completed.

3) Please note that when you complete this corrective action form online customers and buyers are able to access some or all of your corrective action responses.

4) Please be aware that customers and buyers are able to stipulate the type and level of corrective action data they wish to see. Many customers/buyers only see partial/no completion of corrective action comments and uploads i.e. they do not see any comments or uploads associated with "fully completed" responses.
