 All descriptions, images (in both print or on the internet) and samples of our goods are for the purpose of giving an approximate representation of the product only.
You acknowledge that stone is natural and geological variations will occur in terms of colour, markings, texture, size and between consignments, which are beyond our control. We advise you to view as much of the goods as possible before entering into this Agreement. 
You should be aware that all natural stone is porous to some degree and should be sealed. Some may easily be scratched and/or be subject to natural pitting/chipping.

All Sales

We reserve the right to change the price by giving you notice at any time before delivery to reflect any increase in the cost to us such as foreign exchange fluctuations, alteration of duties, increase of the costs of materials and such like. If we change the price and you are not happy with it, you will be able to cancel your order.
Products which are not standard and are therefore specifically ordered for you or are fabricated for you cannot be cancelled after the order/fabrication process has started. If we do agree to cancel the order, you will be liable for any reasonable costs incurred.

Payment

-
Payment is required on placement of your order. Please note that we will not arrange delivery until we are in receipt of cleared funds.

Delivery 

We shall endeavour to have the goods delivered to the delivery address on the delivery date, but time for delivery is not of the essence of this agreement. We use an independent delivery company for which we are not responsible so we cannot guarantee delivery times.
The goods will be offloaded at the nearest accessible point to the delivery address at the discretion of the driver, which may be the kerbside. The driver will not handle the goods further. The lorry has a tail lift off load so please be aware the pallet truck, will not be able to travel over gravel or any rough uneven ground.

However, if your goods have been a special order then your order may not have a tail lift lorry and would need to be taken from the curtain side of the lorry ether by hand or by fork lift. 
You must make us aware of any access restrictions or difficulties for a large lorry and you must ensure a responsible person is at the delivery address at the time of delivery to supervise the offload and sign for the goods.
When delivery is charged, the cost of delivery is in addition to the price and subject to VAT.
If we are not able to deliver the goods as a result of you not complying with your obligations under these terms, the goods will be retained by the driver and you will be responsible for any re-delivery or storage charges. 
Although every effort will be made to honour the delivery date arranged with yourselves, we cannot be held responsible for any delays caused due to reasons beyond our control ( broken down vehicle, delays with imports, punctures, acts of God etc.)

Order and Sale

-

You order and agree to buy, and we agree to sell, the goods at the price, subject to these terms and conditions.
Products which are not standard and are therefore specifically ordered for you or fabricated for you must be paid for in full before the order/fabrication will be processed and cannot be cancelled after the order/fabrication process has started. 

Orders direct from our supplier are special order which when cannot be cancelled/returned after payment to us has been cleared.* 

Most of our tiles are special orders, from Italy and Spain. Any tiles from Grespania, Saloni, ABK, Geo Tiles, Emil or Marazzi or any Italian or Spanish factory’s  are special orders and tile order items will need to be ordered in from the manufacturer.

Please Note: If you receive broken tiles, please send images as soon as possible. Due to the nature of our tiles in transport they are prone to breaking, this is also why we encourage you to add an extra percentage to your order.  If they can not be used for cuts we will honer a full refund per broken tile. How ever we can replace the box but we can not guaranty delivery times.

Unpacking, stacking and storing

-

Care needs to be taken when unpacking the goods as the spacers may need to be removed from the packaging before the goods are lifted out. The goods should always be stacked and stored vertically (on edge) but not on a hard surface as this may cause unnecessary edge chipping. We cannot be held responsible for damage which occurs after delivery.
Stone tiles may need to dry out before the installation process begins. You should ask your fitter to advise you if this is the case.

Right of Cancellation for Consumers

This clause only applies if you are acting for a purpose outside your business and there has been a distance contract.

Any advice given by us or our staff relating to fixing products and installation is given in good faith but should be used as a general guide only and cannot therefore be sure that our advice is correct. It is your responsibility to purchase the correct fixing products and sealants for the environment in which (and in particular the surface upon which) the goods will be installed.

Third Parties

-
This Agreement is not intended to and does not give any third parties any right to enforce any of its provisions.

-
Applicable terms, conditions and representations

-
These terms are the express terms and conditions governing the agreement.
There cannot be a variation or change to anything in this agreement unless it is agreed in writing and signed by both of us.
It is your responsibility to check that all the details relating to your order are correct and to provide us with all relevant information relating to the environment in which the goods are intended to be used and for their delivery.
It is important that you check your measurements carefully. An order should always include an additional 10% to allow for wastage to cover cutting, minor imperfections, as could be expected with the type of stone and finish ordered, and breakage. If you do not order enough, subsequent goods (as they are a naturally occurring product) may not be exactly the same as the original goods.
We can provide estimates of quantities of goods but this will be based on general guidelines and the measurements which you have supplied. It is your responsibility to provide accurate measurements to ensure that the correct quantities of goods are ordered. You should therefore seek professional advice as variations in surfaces and angles may affect the quantities required. We will not be responsible for any shortfalls or surpluses. 
Where you are acting other than as a consumer, you confirm that you are not entering into this Agreement on the basis of, or relying on, any representation made to you by us that is not expressly incorporated into this Agreement in writing and signed by both of us. 
As we have not carried out a survey or inspection of the installation site of the goods, we cannot give any warranty as to the suitability of the goods for that, or any other given environment. If you are acting other than as a consumer, you cannot rely on any implied or express representation, advice or information given to you by us that is not incorporated into the Agreement and signed by both of us. 
We cannot be held responsible for circumstances beyond our reasonable control. This may include (without limitation) shortfalls at source, natural disasters and restraints or delays affecting suppliers or transportation to us. We will endeavour to notify you as soon as possible should these problems occur.
In the case of Business Sales, you confirm that these are the only terms of the agreement between us and any provisions upon which you purport to purchase including those on any of your purchase order, or confirmation of order or similar documents or forms do not apply to this agreement between us.

It is your responsibility to ensure a professional fitter is carrying out your installation. We strongly recommend that you take up independent references.
We cannot therefore be responsible for the manner of installation of the Goods or for damage caused during or arising out of installation.
