In these conditions the following words shall have the meanings set out opposite them:
Technical and other advice is given by the Company's authorised representatives in good faith and for general guidance only.
We recommend that you never book a tiler or fitter until the Goods have been delivered.
The Company is not liable for errors or defects by the Manufacturer or other circumstances beyond its control.
All prices shown and quoted are inclusive of V.A.T. unless stated otherwise.
Prices stated and availability of products are correct at the time of publishing and will not necessarily be available in the Company's store.
Samples are exhibited solely to enable the Customer to judge the quality of the Goods, but not so as to constitute a sale by sample.

QUALITY, CONDITION AND SUITABILITY OR GOODS
It is a particular condition of sale that all Goods be inspected and approved by the Customer in all aspects of quality, shade and condition prior to any cutting or fixing, and that the Customer is responsible as to the suitability of the product to meet design and manufacturing needs.
The use of Goods delivered implies their acceptance by the Customer.
The Company is not liable for incorrect use or installation of Goods.
Considering the distance that most tiles travel, you should expect a few breakages and these should be used for cuts.
Goods are supplied within the Manufacturers tolerance limits of size, texture and colours variations.
Shading and crazing are inherent characteristics of all ceramic tiles. MAM Tiling Ltd reserves the right to refuse any responsibility for tiles shaded, crazed or faulty in any way once said goods have been fixed.
MAM Tiling Ltd cannot guarantee to match shades of previous orders.
In modern manufacturing of most types of ceramic and porcelain tiles, the calibration i.e. size of the tile, may vary from batch to batch. It is important to check the calibration stamped on each box before installation commences.
The company cannot accept any claims once materials are fixed or if they are ordered specifically, a specific calibration cannot be guaranteed.
In these products there are some natural characteristics which make handling and fixing more specialised than factory pressed ceramic tiles. The material is formed over many years by natural process. The thickness of tiles may vary within the same batch or box. Therefore, we do not guarantee that the thickness of tiles will be uniform nor will cracked or broken tiles be accepted as faulty. There will be a natural variation in colour; no two tiles are the same. Consequently, we cannot accept any returns on any natural products.
You are responsible for your own choice of Goods and their suitability for purpose.
You are responsible for your telephone & postal charges in contacting the Company.
You must provide the Company with all reasonable courtesy, information, cooperation, facilities and access to enable the Company to perform our duties. Failing which the Company shall not be obliged to perform any service or assistance.
All items are subject to availability at time of order.
We will advise you of the delivery day for your goods. Normal delivery times are between 9:00am and 5:00pm on a Monday to Friday. Weekend deliveries are not available.
Tiles will normally be shrink wrapped on a pallet and delivered to the ground level edge of your property.
Someone will need to be present at the time of delivery to accept and sign for the Goods as a failed delivery may result in you incurring a re-delivery charge.
The driver will not be able to assist getting the Goods into your property due to insurance purposes. Orders under 20kg weight will be delivered with a parcel courier.
As we use a national carrier to fulfil our deliveries it is not possible to guarantee a 100% success rate on the confirmed delivery day.
Where the Company delivers to site, delivery will be to the nearest hard road to site. If the Customer requests delivery to a site beyond the nearest hard road then all risk as to the condition of the Goods on the delivery is with the Customer, and no claims will be entertained as to the condition of the Goods on delivery. Unloading is the responsibility of the Customer.
If the Company delivers in its own vehicle the Company retains the risk for the condition of the Goods until delivery has been made.
If delivery is by carrier or by post then risk for the condition of the Goods is with the Customer after the Goods have left the Company's premises.
Delivery to the site or nearest hard road to the site requested by the Customer, established by a signed delivery note, is conclusive evidence that delivery has been made to the order of the Customer, and in compliance with the agreement.
The Company will endeavour to comply with reasonable requests by the Customer for postponement of delivery of the Goods but shall be under no obligation to do so and where delivery is postponed by agreement otherwise than due to default by the Company, the Customer shall pay all costs and expenses including a reasonable charge for storage and transportation occasioned thereby.
Any claim as to shortages or condition of Goods on delivery which would not be apparent on visual inspection must be communicated within 48 hours. Subject to this condition, the Customer is deemed to have accepted the Goods upon delivery as having been supplied in good condition, and in accordance with the order.

A copy of your original receipt must be placed in an envelope and then securely attached to the returning goods.
We expect returned tiles in a re-saleable condition. Therefore we recommend that you put the Goods back on the pallet they were delivered on, and securely fasten the Goods so they are not able to move around. It is always helpful in the event that damage may be caused in transit to take a couple of photographs before they are wrapped and when they are wrapped, before they are collected. Because of batching issues etc, we can only accept returns within 28 days of the tiles being delivered.
Please note that these terms do not affect your statutory rights. For more information you should contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office.
