Terms of Sales
PRODUCT
Our cement- and terrazzo tiles are handmade one by one, using traditional production methods. Understanding how they are made, how the tile colors are achieved and wear over time is critical to appreciating the beauty and performance of the tile. Due to the way of manufacturing, slight variations in colours, light effloressence, small deviations in size and thickness are the very nature and base character of the cement tiles and are NO ground for any claims later on. If in doubt, or have no previous experience with cement tiles, we strongly recommend to order a sample before going ahead of your order.
ORDERING AND LEAD TIMES
In stock tile orders ship within 2 business days of order receipt. Custom cement tile lead times vary depending on the design and schedule needs of clients. All lead times provided are estimated arrival times to our warehouse in Törökbálint, Hungary, and additional transit days may be necessary for outbound shipments from our warehouse to our customers.
We will make every effort to meet or reduce lead times where possible but there are no guarantees due to the custom nature of the manufacturing process.
Disclaimer: regarding customized orders we have to produce, please note that international shipping companies guarantee no fixed arrival dates for containers. Based on our many years of experince, production and transport take 3 months approxiametly, this is the lead time we normally give for delivery, but can not be relied upon fully – Marrakesh Cement Tile can not be hold responsible for delays of the transport companies. If the deadline of your project is very tight, please choose something from stock.
OVERAGE
All customers are solely responsible for providing measurements and quantities needed for each order. In addition, all customers are strongly advised to order 10-15% more tile than necessary to ensure that enough product is on-hand to successfully complete installation. Please consult your tile installer to ensure that your take-off quantity and overage calculations are correct.
Keep in mind that the price of the overage quantity is minimal in comparison to the cost of rush product and one-off shipping in the event that more product is needed after the original order due to site conditions, mistakes in order quantities, or installation errors. Trying to save a few hundred euros by decreasing or eliminating the standard 10-15% overage is the most common mistake customers make when placing orders. This mistake can end up costing 5-10 times more to place small incremental orders AND significantly delay projects by weeks or months!
