Although we have made every effort to display colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of colours or the printed pictures in our brochure accurately reflects the colour of the Goods. Your Goods may vary slightly from those images.
3.4 Any tile layouts are to provide a visual guide of the potential finish, they are not a plan to be followed by installers – tile layout preferences and grout decisions should be discussed with your installers before work begins.
3.5 It is possible that the design may need to be altered to accommodate structural elements of the building which are not possible to ascertain until installation begins e.g. recesses might need to be adapted to work around structural wall supports.

3.7 If the Buyer is supplying any of the products themselves it is their responsibility to make sure the products work within the design. The Company will not be held liable for the cost of any problems with products sourced by the Buyer themselves.

6. DAMAGES TO GOODS
6.1 The Buyer must notify the company in writing of any shortages and/or damages to Goods within 72 hours of delivery. After that time, the Goods are deemed to be ‘accepted’ by the Buyer thereafter the Company will not be liable for any claims for shortages and or damages.
6.2 Should the Buyer be personally collecting a consignment of Goods from the premises of the Company, risk of loss or damage passes to the Buyer from the time they collect the consignment. Therefore, the consignment should be checked in store by the clients before it is taken away.
7. RETURNS AND CANCELLATIONS
7.1 If the Company are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the Goods. This might be because the Goods are out of stock, because we have identified an error in the price of description of the Goods or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
7.2 The Buyer is entitled to 7 days from delivery of Goods during which they may return unwanted Goods to the Company. Any items accepted for cancellation or return will be subject to a handing/restocking charge which for some suppliers could be in excess of 40%. Goods that have been delivered into the warehouse, from the supplier, awaiting delivery to the Buyer, will also be subject to a restocking charge. Where Buyers wish to exercise this right, the Buyer must inform the Company in writing of their intention within the stated time period.
7.3 This (7.2) excludes bespoke orders, which cannot be cancelled/amended/returned once approval drawings have been confirmed and the item has been paid for and ordered. Likewise, orders for special finishes cannot be cancelled/amended once the product has been paid for and ordered.

7.6 The Company will not be responsible for any damage or loss arising during the return transit of the Goods. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to take all due care to ensure that the Goods are protectively packaged.
7.7 Tiles are non-returnable. This is because they cannot be re-sold due to small differences in finish between batches.
8. INSTALLATION
8.1 Where the Buyer is using their own installer any problem relating to the install of the products should be taken up with the installers and is not the responsibility of the Company. For example, if a product is installed incorrectly or not according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, the Company is not liable for the cost of replacing the products or re-installing them.
8.2 It is the Buyers responsibility to confirm with their installers that the Goods are suitable for any intended installation, prior to install. The Company will not be liable for the cost of removing and re-installing goods that were faulty or damaged, where the problem could have been discovered prior to install.
8.3 Where the Buyer is using an installer recommended by the Company, while we will only ever recommend installers we have worked with for years whose work we know to be of high quality, the Company is not in a position to be able to offer any type of guarantee or be held liable for their workmanship as we have no formal business relationship with any recommended installer.
8.4 Where the Buyer is using an installer recommended by the Company, we will charge an installation deposit to hold your position in the installer’s customer list.
8.5 Installation of Goods constitutes acceptance. If the Buyer changes their mind after installation the cost of replacing the Goods is incurred by the Buyer.
8.6 It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ensure that any installation using Goods supplied by the Company complies with all statutory water and building regulations.
8.7 It is the Buyer’s responsibility to discuss preferences regarding the final aesthetic with their installer before work begins e.g. tile lines and layouts, recess heights, height of boxing. Otherwise, the plan is as agreed and accepted by the Buyer as part of the design process.
8.8 In the event that a product fault is discovered after installation, the Company will facilitate the replacement of the faulty goods free of charge if the product is within its warranty period and it can be proven that it’s a product fault rather than mis-use. As we are a product supply only Company, the cost of installation of replacement goods does not sit with us. This would be taken up with the manufacturer, which we would help to facilitate.
9. PRODUCT WARRANTIES

While we will always endeavour to help replace faulty goods we will not be held liable for the replacement of goods where the Buyer has failed to register the product.
