E.  MATERIAL AMOUNTS AND PRODUCT COLOUR

Material Amounts
A 2% variance on material widths is within mill tolerances and is agreed to be acceptable within the industry limits.
The amount of materials sold is compatible to measurement of floor covering and the material dimensions.

Material overage of approximately 10% is required in order to cut, seam, and trim materials. In some instances the amount of padding or underlayment installed may be less. The Company has taken this variation into full account in establishing pricing. Installation charges are based on the amount of material needed and not on the installed amount.

Product Colour
Colour match to samples will vary from dye lot to dye lot. Buyer agrees to accept colour variances that fall within industry-established ranges.  Hardwood and bamboo are natural materials that will have colour variations such as variations from heartwood to sapwood, mineral streaks and variations in the grain. Temperature and humidity must be maintained within manufacturer specifications.

Despite every effort to accurately duplicate each product’s colour when shown on our website, actual colours may vary. Due to computer monitor resolution and colour settings, subtle variations in colour and surface texture may not be fully revealed when viewing products on our website. We make every attempt to give you a good representation of the available colours for each product available.

For an accurate representation of product appearance, you should view a sample at our warehouse or request a sample of the product (if available) to be sent to your home.

F.  MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY
All floor covering products, goods and/or materials are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty. No other warranties, either expressed or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, are provided.

Any warranty offered by the Manufacturer is direct from the Manufacturer and not from BOARD WAREHOUSE. See manufacturers’ separate warranties for the terms of their warranties.

No other warranty, express or implied, is made. BOARD WAREHOUSE assumes no liability for damages arising from the purchase, use or inability to use this product or from any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages. This means any loss, expense or damage other than to the flooring itself that may result from a defect in the flooring, incurred or suffered by or occasioned to the end user/purchaser of a defective product or to any third party.

G.  FLOORING SERVICES

H.  PREPARATION, INSTALLATION AND GENERAL COMMENTS
To ensure your installation proceeds smoothly, the following information needs to be reviewed. Your cooperation in meeting our requests will be greatly appreciated and will help us ensure the quality of your installation.

• It is recommended that all other building work is completed and contractors are off site prior to installing your new floors.
• The required sub floor condition is flat, level and moisture free. Installation of engineered hardwood, laminate, vinyl or bamboo flooring, requires preparation of the subfloor. The costs for this subfloor preparation are not included in the quote estimate because these costs can only be determined upon site inspection. Additional labour and materials may be required in order to remove existing flooring or to accommodate removal and replacement of secondary subflooring and flashing materials. The condition of the sub floor, if carpeted, can only be assessed once carpeting is removed. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure cavity floors have sufficient ventilation prior to BOARD WAREHOUSE installing the new floor.
• It is the customer’s responsibility to inform the installation team of any water/electrical piping in the floors/walls that lie just below the surface. The Company has no responsibility or liability regarding and any resulting damage from pipes being broken during installation will not be for BOARD WAREHOUSE’s account.
• Should the installation be carried out in a complex, please ensure delivery is allowed and please ensure BOARD WAREHOUSE staff and its sub-contractors have permission to gain entrance to the complex and that security staff are aware of our presence onsite. Please notify BOARD WAREHOUSE of complex “quiet times” which will affect our ability to work.
• Please plan to be home the entire day your installation is scheduled as we cannot guarantee a specific starting time. Every effort will be made to complete your installation in a timely and professional manner; however, we are not responsible for ancillary or consequential damages or any other expenses, e.g. time lost from work, hotels expenses, meals, inconvenience, etc. that may occur from unforeseen delays in materials or installation.
• Each installation is custom and some may take longer than others. Therefore it is extremely difficult to determine what time the installers will arrive on the date of installation. Please make arrangements for a responsible adult to be at the jobsite the entire day.
• Rooms should be cleared in preparation for your goods and/or materials’ delivery. Please be sure that there is a clear path from the point of entry to your home to the room where your new flooring will be placed.
• Engineered Hardwood. Bamboo, Vinyl and Laminate must be stored in the areas to be installed for a minimum of three days prior to installation. Temperature and humidity must be maintained within manufacturer’s specifications during acclimation, installation and after installation. Failure to maintain proper temperature and humidity may cause permanent damage to flooring for which the Company cannot be held responsible.
• Installers will need access to electricity and water during the installation.
• Whilst our teams are happy to help remove wiring that is glued/nailed to old skirting’s they are not qualified electricians and any resulting damage will not be for BOARD WAREHOUSE’s accounts.
• If no power is available BOARD WAREHOUSE will hire a generator at customer’s expense.
• Kick plates of new kitchen/bedroom cupboards should be installed after we have completed your floor.
• Prior to installation, all breakable items, remote controls, sun glasses and electrical items such as televisions, music centres, computers, etc., including books, toys, CD’s should be removed from the work area. Our installation team will move large furniture as required for the installation to proceed. Whilst every care will be taken, accidental damage caused during moving furniture will not be covered by BOARD WAREHOUSE.
• Please complete the following tasks before the installer arrives:
• Remove all items from china cabinets.
• Remove wall plaques and pictures from all areas including rooms adjacent to areas being installed.
• Remove bedding and pillows.
• Remove items from the top of dressers and tables.
• Remove drawers from dressers.
• Remove items from closet floors and all low hanging garments.
• Pianos & Pool Tables: If you have contracted us to move your piano or pool table, please be advised that we are not responsible for tuning the piano or levelling the pool table. We do not move slate pool tables or grand pianos.
• Electronics: Our installers do not move electronics of any kind. Customer is responsible for disassembly, moving, assembling and connecting equipment after units.
• Remove low handing draperies.
• The standard fitting fee includes unwanted skirting and profile removal and the removal of pertinent waste from site. Not included in the standard fitting fee is moving of electrical equipment, removal and cutting of doors, levelling or screeding sub floors, removal of tiles/parquet/ Marley type flooring. These items can be completed at additional charges – contact BOARD WAREHOUSE for a full list of services offered.
• The installers DO NOT move, disconnect or reconnect the following items: gas appliances, icemaker refrigerators, grand pianos, aquariums, waterbeds, grandfather clocks, antiques, breakables, bedding, draperies or anything that may be very fragile.
• Dust: Installing new flooring may cause a considerable amount of dust. Please take adequate measures to protect your belongings. The dust cannot be contained to just the areas being installed.
• Squeaks: The installers cannot repair existing floor squeaks or guarantee that any attempt to do so will be effective.
• Doors: We assume no responsibility for cutting doors. Installers can remove doors to install flooring, but we are not responsible for replacing doors if the new flooring does not provide adequate clearance.
• Walls & Baseboards: Even though the installers will take all normal precautions when new flooring is installed, it may be necessary for the customer to touch up the baseboards after installation. The installers will exercise every care possible in removing and reinstalling skirting, but we cannot be responsible for breakage because the condition of the skirting is beyond our control. If you would like your old skirting removed, please tell the installers. If you plan to paint or wallpaper, this should be completed after installation. New applied paint and wallpaper is especially susceptible to damage.
• Carpet Removal: If you have wall to wall carpeting now, the installers will use your existing tack strip. If it is not reusable the installers will replace it at no charge. Please do not remove existing tack strip but do be sure to remove all staples used to secure cushion and carpet to the subfloor.
• Seams will be visible: Where seaming is necessary the product will be seamed according to the best known method, and the best possible way for the material involved. The visibility of your seams will depend on the type of flooring, lighting and direction of seam. Unless otherwise specifically mentioned on the order in writing, seams will be left to the discretion of the installer.
• Existing or subfloors not installed by the Company: Installing new hard surface floors without the required sub-floor will void all installation warranties and may affect the manufacturer’s warranty as well. Problems arising from underlayment not installed by us or arising from floor structure are not our responsibility and are not covered by the warranties.
• Unforeseen structural issues: Many structural issues cannot be seen until the old flooring is removed. If the installers find any structural issues during installation such as termite damage or water damaged structural subflooring, the install will be stopped until the customer is able to remedy the structural issue.
• On site, the main contractor, will make provisions for safe and secured storage of the flooring products and at all times will be responsible for the health and safety of our operatives on their site.

I.  SIGN OFF
An authorized signatory must be available on completion of installation in order to sign off the work done. Once sign off has occurred, the customer is agreeing to the satisfaction of work completed. If there are any disputes with the work carried out, the work must not be signed off. Sign off is at customer’s discretion. Any damages or marks found in the floor that have been caused by the installer will only be rectified if pointed out to the installer before the customer has signed off work.  Any damages noticed after this time i.e. the following day, will be assumed to be the fault of the customer and will not be rectified.

J.  CUSTOMER SUPPORT & SERVICE
Apart from providing excellent quality products at the best possible price, our Company is completely dedicated to exceeding customer expectations. If you have any suggestions, comments or any cause for complaint please contact us. The Company keep the right to amend the terms and condition, without notice.
