INSPECTION UPON DELIVERY
Immediately upon delivery, please inspect your tiles for accuracy of materials ordered, including quality, colour and quantity. In the unlikely event that tiles may have been damaged during shipment, a freight claim must be filed with the delivering carrier within five (5) days of receipt of material. Any damage that is visible upon delivery must be noted on the freight carrier delivery receipt. All claims must be presented in writing to the delivering carrier with a copy to 1000graden.
The customer or customer’s representative should inspect the tile before installation. Installation signifies acceptance and no adjustments can be made once material has been installed.
LEAD TIME
Special/custom orders of decorated tiles can take as much as 60 days after confirmation and depending on the source of the material. Please place your order as far in advance as possible to ensure that all material is available when you need it.
