CLO Virtual Fashion, Inc. (“CLO”) warrants to the end user purchaser (“Customer”) that the components of the CLO Fabric
Kit described above (each, a “Covered Component”) will be free in all material respects from manufacturing defects, under
normal and intended use as described in the Fabric Kit Manual furnished by CLO (“Documentation”), for a period of one
(1) year from Customer’s original date of purchase of the CLO Fabric Kit, from CLO, its afliates, or its authorized resellers
(“Warranty Period”). If a Covered Component fails to conform to the foregoing warranty and CLO receives a valid written
claim within the Warranty Period, CLO will, at CLO’s option and expense: (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to repair
or replace the defective Covered Component or part with a new or refurbished Covered Component or part, or (b) accept
the return of the Fabric Kit and refund to Customer the full original purchase price of the Fabric Kit. The foregoing warranty
is CLO’s sole obligation and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any defects in a Covered Component. Repair or
replacement of a defective Covered Component or part does not extend the original Warranty Period for such Covered
Component.
Exclusions and Limitations. This warranty is void and does not apply to: (a) damage resulting from mishandling, abuse,
misuse, accident, negligence, or the Customer’s failure to properly calibrate a Covered Component or follow installation or
operating instructions, (b) normal wear and tear, (c) defects caused by alterations, modications, repair and servicing not
made or authorized by CLO, (d) damage caused by handling, operating, storing, and using the Fabric Kit outside the
permitted or intended uses described in the Documentation, including but not limited to use in wet conditions, (e) defects
that are not reproducible by CLO, and (f) batteries used in a Covered Component. Actual battery life varies depending on
use. This warranty is also void and does not apply if Customer opens the casing of any Covered Component.
Instructions to Obtain Warranty Service. In order to receive any remedy under this Limited Warranty, Customer must follow
CLO’s RMA Procedures (See Fabric Kit Return and Exchange Policy).
EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICA-
BLE LAW, CLO DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT
TO THE FABRIC KIT AND ANY COVERED COMPONENT, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILI-
TY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CLO
ALSO LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS TO THE DURATION OF
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.

THEORY OF LIABILITY EVEN IF CLO WAS PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE TOTAL
CUMULATIVE ACTUAL DAMAGES TO WHICH YOU MAY BE ENTITLED ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY, THE FABRIC KIT OR ANY COVERED COMPONENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU, IF
ANY, TO PURCHASE THE PRODUCT AT ISSUE FROM CLO. THIS LIMITATION IS CUMULATIVE AND WILL NOT BE
INCREASED BY THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE INCIDENT OR CLAIM.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF STATUTORY OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, OR THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS THE
LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS SET FORTH HEREIN MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. CONSEQUENTLY, IN SUCH JURISDIC-
TIONS, THE LIABILITY OF THE CLO PARTIES IS LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THEREBY MINIMIZING

Contacting Us
Customs, Duties and Taxes for International Shipments
You, the purchaser, are the importer of record and you must comply with all laws and regulations of the order destination.
Orders shipped outside of the United States or South Korea may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees
levied by the destination country, which are levied once a shipment reaches the destination country. Additional charges for
customs clearance must be fullled by you, the recipient. CLO has no control over these charges, nor can we predict what
they may be. Customs policies vary widely. Please contact your local customs ofce for more information. When customs
clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates.
Customs ofces in some countries or regions require the importer of record (i.e. you) to provide a particular form of
identication before releasing a shipment. You may be required to provide an identication number such as a Unique
Identication Number, CPF, or Tax ID.
3. Items you return must be securely packaged to prevent loss or damage in transit. A valid RMA number and your
return address should be clearly visible on the outside packaging. Postage must be pre-paid, and you must be able
to track and conrm delivery to us. You bear all in-transit risk of loss or damage to items you return. If you send

5. OVERVIEW
Launch CLO Enterprise, then switch to Emulator mode using the top-right drop-down
menu to enter the values measured from the Fabric Kit.
A. SWATCH PREPARATION
6. HOW TO MAKE FABRIC
Prepare a total of three swatches with the provided stencil.
Each swatch will represent a different grain, cut in the (1) weft, (2) warp, and (3) bias directions,
measuring 220mm x 30mm in size.
These will be used to measure the weight, bending, thickness and stretch properties of the
swatch
.
2
Before cutting out the swatches, please ironing the swatch gently without causing any shrinkage.
Conrm the grainline of the
swatch

Measure and enter this point of contact as the Contact Distance (A).
Place the 1-1 Ruler beneath the swatch, then enter the measured length (B) in the Emulator.

The Bending Test is performed 3 times : rst for the weft swatch, and next the warp swatch, then the last for the
bias swatch.

E. STRETCH TEST
Wind the Control Lever until the needle aligns with 0 on the Length Ruler.
Loosen the Clamps at each end of the Fabric Bed.
Insert both ends of the swatch between the Jig openings, aligning the 10mm line marks.
Tighten the Clamps at each end to secure the swatch ends.
Turn on the Digital Force Gauge.
Determine Length constant:

1) Pull the fabric swatch until the force value is 0.01kgf.
2) Starting with the length reached at step 1, check the length and force of each 10mm increment.
3) Record 10 sections.(In the case of not being able to record 10 sections, record all the measurable sections.)
4) Use a value only when the force difference of each section is at least 0.02kgf.(If the force difference for each interval is less
than 0.02kgf, do not use that value.)
5) Finally, select and use values resulted in at least 3 sections and up to 5 sections.(We recommend that you ll out all ve
sections as much as possible because the more measurements you have, the more accurate the data is.)
1) Check the value of the force when swatch is pulled to 1mm.
2) Starting with the length reached at step 1, check the length and force of each 1mm increments.
3) At this time, measure 3 to 5 sections.(We recommend that you ll out all ve sections as much as possible because the more
measurements you have, the more accurate the data is)
We recommend you to ll out all ve sections as possible because when you have more measurements, data is more accurate.
When the swatch is pulled by 1mm and the force is less than 0.01kgf
When the swatch is pulled by 1 mm and the force value is over 0.01kgf
The stretch test will allow you to measure the stretchability and threshold at which a fabric will no longer stretch.
To do this you will explore the relationship between length of stretch and force applied to the swatch, then
record and input your ndings into the Emulator Mode of CLO.
The reading from the Length Ruler and Digital Force Gauge combined will be one set of measurements.
You will need a minimum of 3 sets and a maximum of 5 sets for each swatch.
When testing, you will need to determine, which unit of length will be your constant.

Once the test has been completed for a swatch, reset the Control Lever so the needle aligns with 0 on the
Length Ruler. Then unscrew the clamp at each end and remove the swatch. If you are nished testing you can
turn the Digital Force Gauge off. In between each swatch test you should turn the digital force gauge off and
then back on after the needle has been returned to the 0 mark.
