1. The definitions and rules of interpretation in the Appendix apply to these terms and conditions.
2. To buy from us, you must place an order, by confirming to us in writing your acceptance of our Quotation, within its validity period (this is 28 days from the date of the Quotation, or any other period given in the Quotation). Exceptionally, if you buy from us without a Quotation having been given by us, these terms and conditions shall apply and you will be deemed to have placed an order, with references to "Quotation" in these terms and conditions meaning the written communications between you and us specifying your requirements and how we propose to fulfil them.
3. When you place an Order, this will result in a separate Contract between you and us, under which we agree to sell and you agree to buy the Products specified in the applicable Quotation for the price stated in that Quotation, or where prices are not stated our list prices will apply, subject always to our rights to vary prices under clauses 5, 8 and 21. In addition you agree to pay for delivery costs and any other costs stated in that Quotation, or where not stated our list prices will apply, subject always to our rights to make additional charges, under clauses 6, 11, 14 and 21.
4. These terms and conditions and the content of the Quotation will make up the entire Contract between you and us. All other terms and conditions (including the conditions implied by sections 3–15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979), whether express or implied by statute, common law or otherwise are excluded to the extent permitted by law and we make no representations concerning the Products. In particular, if you attempt to apply further or different terms and/or conditions, they will be of no effect. To be effective, any variation to these terms and conditions and/or a Quotation, must be agreed between you and us in writing.
5. If your Product requirements change after you place an Order, you may request and we may at our discretion agree to change the Order to include additional Products and/or to accept the return of unwanted Products and supply substitute Products in their place. If we do this:
5.1. you must pay for all additional Products at our list price prevailing on the date we accept your request;
5.2. you must pay the difference if the price of the replacement Products (for an equivalent quantity and at our list price prevailing on the date we accept your request) is higher than price (as agreed in the Order) of the Products to be replaced;
5.3. you must reimburse us for any costs and expenses we reasonably incur including, without limitation, additional delivery costs, storage costs and insurance costs; and
5.4. we will not agree to make refunds, allow the return of Products ordered in excess of your requirements, nor allow the return of Products made to order.
6. If your delivery requirements (as to Delivery Point and/or timing) change after you place an Order, you may request and we may at our discretion agree to change the Order to accommodate this by rearranging deliveries. If we do this, you must reimburse us for any costs and expenses we reasonably incur including, without limitation, additional delivery costs, storage costs and insurance costs.
7. You are responsible for deciding on your own requirements, and, for selecting Products with a specification suitable for your intended use and in sufficient quantities for your project, allowing for tolerances in estimating quantities, wastage and breakage. When Products are cut to size from oversized porcelain or ceramic slabs, some breakage should be allowed for and quantities should be increased to reflect this based on guidance from our sales team.
8. We will round up quantities of Products to ensure we deliver whole cartons and charge accordingly.
9. Samples, drawings, descriptive material, specifications and advertising issued by us and by Product manufacturers and importers, and any descriptions or illustrations contained in our or any manufacturer's or importer's catalogues, brochures or websites are for illustration purposes only. They do not form part of the Contract and we do not sell by reference to samples. In particular:
9.1. printed material and electronic devices may not display the colour and/or texture of Products accurately;
9.2. some Products have a random or repeating pattern, requiring a minimum expanse of tiling to best display the pattern;
9.3. resulting from the use of natural materials and the nature of the manufacturing processes involved, there may be variations in size, colour, shade and texture of individual Products; Products may be porous, subject to veining, prone to staining, prone to pitting and/or prone to change their appearance and/or performance over time and Products may need regular care, attention and treatment to avoid deterioration. Contact us for information on individual Products.
10. Our aim is to deliver Products to the Delivery Point or to make Products available for collection from designated premises, as applicable, within a reasonable time after a Quotation is accepted. However, time is not of the essence. When we give a delivery or collection date, this will be an estimate and is not guaranteed as a firm date. Our staff have no authority to guarantee delivery or collection dates.
11. We have the right to deliver or make Products available for collection in instalments. We will deliver Products in instalments at your request, however, you must reimburse us for any costs and expenses we reasonably incur including, without limitation, additional delivery costs, storage costs and insurance costs.

13.3. in our opinion you have not made appropriate arrangements for delivery or collection (including a means of identification);
13.4. you are Insolvent;
however, if we do deliver or make Products available for collection in these circumstances, that will not affect our rights under the Contract.
14. If you do not collect Products within three Business Days of us telling you that they are ready for collection, or you do not accept delivery of Products, or we decline to deliver or make Products available for collection; then, subject always to our rights under clause 13:
14.1. we will take reasonable steps to rearrange the delivery or collection and in these circumstances you must reimburse us for any costs and expenses we reasonably incur including, without limitation, additional delivery costs, storage costs and insurance costs until the Products are delivered or collected; and
14.2. if delivery or collection does not take place within three months of the date of the first attempted delivery or availability for collection, in these circumstances we have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of the Products.
15. The quantity of Products recorded by us or our agent on despatch, or making available for collection, will be sufficient evidence of the quantity received by you unless you can provide conclusive evidence to the contrary.
16. You must promptly inspect Products after collection or taking delivery and inform us in writing of any suspected shortage of quantities or problem with quality.(see clause 29 for your limited warranty).
