Customer-Supplied Module & Programming Release

Customer Name: __________________________ Date: _______________

Vehicle VIN: _____________________________ Part Type: ____________

1. Scope of Service

G&S Performance and Auto I/O are being contracted to perform Software Programming/Coding services only. We are not the providers of the hardware (the module) and have not inspected its internal circuitry.

2. No Warranty on Used/Outside Hardware

  • Hardware Functionality: We cannot guarantee the internal health of a used or "outside" electronic component. If the module is internally defective, shorted, or has "bricked" firmware from a previous owner, our programming tools may not be able to communicate with it.

  • The "Programming Fee" Policy: Our labor fee covers the time and use of specialized software/subscriptions to attempt the programming. This fee is due regardless of whether the customer-supplied part is internally healthy enough to accept the flash.

3. Liability Release

  • Incompatibility: If the part number provided by you “the customer” is incompatible with the vehicle’s VIN, G&S Performance and Auto I/O is not responsible for the mismatched hardware.

  • Associated Risks: Programming involves writing data to a chip. If a customer-supplied module fails during the "write" process due to its own internal age or defect, G&S Performance and Auto I/O is not liable for the replacement of said part.

4. Diagnostic Recommendation

We highly recommend a full system diagnostic before attempting to program a replacement module to ensure a mechanical fault (like a shorted wiring harness) didn't kill the original module—which would also kill the new one.

Customer Acknowledgment:

"I understand that G&S Performance and Auto I/O is providing a programming service for a part I have supplied. I agree to pay the programming labor fee regardless of the internal condition of the part. I release the shop from any liability regarding the failure of outside electronics."
