Terms and Conditions for Flooring Products

1. Warranty Coverage
All flooring products sold by FloorDesigns are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. For specific warranty details, please refer to the warranty documentation provided with your product.

The manufacturer’s warranty typically covers:

  • Manufacturing defects.
  • Performance under normal use as outlined in the manufacturer’s terms.

The warranty does not cover:

  • Color or texture variations, as these are inherent to natural products like wood.
  • Damage resulting from improper installation, use, or maintenance.
  • Wear and tear caused by normal aging, climate changes, or exposure to sunlight.
  • Installation of defective boards, which should be identified and excluded by the installer prior to fitting.

2. Responsibility for Inspection and Installation
It is the responsibility of the purchaser and/or installer to:

  • Inspect all flooring materials prior to installation.
  • Avoid installing boards with visible defects, as installation implies acceptance of the product’s quality.

If boards with visible defects are installed, neither FloorDesigns nor the manufacturer can be held liable for any resulting claims. Always follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines to maintain the validity of the warranty.

3. Retailer’s Role
FloorDesigns acts as a retailer and distributor of flooring products. As such:

  • Any claims relating to manufacturing defects must be directed to the manufacturer in accordance with their terms and conditions.
  • FloorDesigns facilitates communication between the customer and the manufacturer but cannot provide warranty coverage or compensation beyond the terms offered by the manufacturer.

4. Customer Acknowledgment
By purchasing from FloorDesigns, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Natural variations in color, texture, and grain are not considered defects.
  • Batch differences may occur, and products purchased at different times may vary in appearance.

5. Claims Process
For warranty claims:

  • Notify us within 14 days of discovering the issue.
  • Provide a copy of your invoice and any supporting documentation (e.g., photos).

We will liaise with the manufacturer to assess your claim. Please note that the manufacturer’s decision is final, and any replacement or compensation will be in line with their warranty terms.

6. Liability Disclaimer
FloorDesigns shall not be liable for:

  • Labor costs or consequential losses incurred due to product defects.
  • Issues arising from improper storage, handling, or installation of the product.
