Thank you for your report. I have talked with Nemoto San just now.
Please reply to K2 that NEX accept and cover the material cost for this case, but please make it clear about the volume how many pcs of material we should cover.
As long as we have already had meeting and set basic agreement about trial products between NEX and K2, we can decide how to handle the case if happened in the future.
Basically, NEX can not assure to produce trial products without defective. In the future, K2 will request trial coating to NEX under the condition of "No claim".
