Acceptance of Terms

By placing an order, submitting payment, signing an invoice, approving shop drawings, or otherwise proceeding with a transaction, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions of Sale. These Terms form a legally binding agreement upon acceptance.

Acceptance may occur through one or more of the following methods:

(i) Execution of a written agreement or invoice;
(ii) Submission of a deposit or full payment;
(iii) Email confirmation or written approval of an order;
(iv) Reply to an invoice or order email confirming specifications, dimensions, pricing, or any other order details;
(v) Providing a phone number that authorizes transactional text messaging related to your order;
(vi) Use of any website checkout process incorporating these Terms.

All binding aspects of your order — including pricing, specifications, dimensions, materials, finishes, and order approval — must be confirmed in writing (via email, signed invoice, or written agreement). No order is binding and no specifications are confirmed based on verbal communication alone. Phone calls with our representatives are for discussion purposes only; any changes, approvals, or order decisions must be documented in writing for them to be effective.

An email or other acknowledgement of your order is notification that it has been received, not acceptance of it. We may decline an order for any reason, e.g., if there has been a pricing error on our website or in our printed literature.

Electronic Signatures. You consent to the use of electronic signatures and electronic records in connection with your transactions with us. You acknowledge that electronic signatures and records are legally binding and enforceable to the same extent as physical signatures and records under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) and similar state and provincial laws.

Accessibility

This Agreement is available in an accessible format or alternative language upon request. If you require this Agreement in large print, audio, or another format, please contact us at [email protected].

Deposit, Estimates, Order Acceptance, Payment, Pricing, Billing, Account Information

1. Estimates expire after 30 days.

2. The total cost of your order is the price for the products and/or services, charges and, if applicable, taxes, all as set out on the invoice, including any adjustments described in this Agreement.

3. (a) Your custom order is accepted and your product(s) goes into production when we receive:

(i) A deposit of sixty-five percent (65%) of the total invoice amount. The remaining balance is due in full before the product is shipped, and no product will be released for shipment until payment in full (including any adjustments described in this Agreement, and any applicable shipping, customs, duties, or tariff charges where applicable) has been received.
(ii) A deposit on an invoice will serve as acceptance of all terms, including this Agreement.
(iii) An email or other acknowledgement of your order is notification that it has been received, not acceptance of it.
(iv) We may decline an order for any reason, e.g., if there has been a pricing error on our website or in our printed literature.
(v) Custom orders cannot be changed after going into production, i.e., you cannot pick a different mantel design or alter the dimensions.
(vi) Deposits are non-refundable under all circumstances once received. The deposit amount represents a good-faith allocation of resources and costs already incurred and committed by the Company, including but not limited to: design development, CAD drawings and engineering preparation, material sourcing and procurement, production scheduling, administrative and project coordination time, and labor allocation and factory planning. Buyer acknowledges that upon payment of the deposit, the Company immediately commits time, labor, materials, and production capacity to the order. Accordingly, the deposit is not a penalty, but a reasonable and agreed-upon recovery of committed costs and lost production opportunity.

(b) Your in-stock order is accepted and your product(s) will be prepared for delivery when we receive:

(i) Payment in full.
(ii) A signed copy of the invoice indicating your acceptance of all terms, including this Agreement.
(iii) An email or other acknowledgement of your order is notification that it has been received, not acceptance of it.
(iv) We may decline an order for any reason. We reserve the right to refuse any order placed with us. In our sole discretion, we may impose limits or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. These limitations may apply to orders placed under the same customer account and/or orders using the same billing and/or shipping address. If we make changes to or cancel an order, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you.
(v) In-stock orders cannot be changed after being scheduled for shipping.

4. The balance of the invoice amount is payable when we advise that your product(s) has been manufactured and is ready to be shipped to the destination you indicated on the invoice. Your product will not be shipped until we receive payment in full, including any adjustments described in this Agreement and any applicable shipping, customs, duties, or tariff charges where applicable.

5. We accept payment for orders by check or wire or electronic transfer in U.S. dollars. Make checks payable to Stone Fireplaces, LLC. If you pay by check, we receive payment when the check clears, usually 2 to 5 days.

6. Payment by credit card is accepted only for incidental orders, such as for samples or small replacement items. In some circumstances, we may accept credit card payments from trade and other clients. A charge of 3.5% will be levied for invoices paid by credit card.

7. (a) If framing is required in connection with the installation of your product (e.g., mantel, over-mantel), the framing must be completed by your contractor prior to installation. Framing is the construction of a frame to support a mantel, and framing materials include 2" x 4" wood or engineered wooden beams, or structural steel. The Company does not provide framing services.

(b) The Company does not perform installation of Products. Buyer is solely responsible for engaging a qualified, professional contractor to install the Product.

8. Ensuring the accuracy of billing and account information.

(a) Orders Placed by Dealers, Resellers, or Distributors: In our sole judgment, we reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors. This measure ensures fair distribution and availability of our products to individual customers.

(b) Accurate Purchase and Account Information: To facilitate successful transactions and effective communication, you agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all transactions made on our store. It is your responsibility to promptly update your account details and other information, including your email address, to ensure accuracy and completeness.

Sales Tax

9. (a) The Company collects sales tax on orders shipped to destinations in Illinois and California because we have an economic nexus with those states.

(b) We will collect sales tax on orders shipped to other destinations if and when required to do so by changes to state tax laws following the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., 138 S. Ct. 2080 (2018).

(c) If you are located in Illinois or California and are purchasing product(s) for resale as part of our Trade program, you will be required to submit a Resale or Sales Tax Certificate. Without that documentation, sales tax will be collected.

(d) If you are located in another state and are purchasing product(s) for resale as part of our Trade program, we will collect sales tax if and when legally required to do so in the absence of a Resale or Sales Tax Certificate (or the equivalent applicable in your state).

Custom Order Lead Times, Shop Drawings, Rush Orders

10. (a) Lead times. For custom natural stone products, the normal lead time (from order acceptance to packed for shipping) is 20+ weeks. For custom cast stone products, the normal lead time (from order acceptance to packed for shipping) is 8 weeks. Lead times are estimates only and subject to change.

(b) Shop drawings. We have shop drawings (CADs) for most of our standard items. We provide shop drawings when we deem they are required for your order.

The architecture, engineering, and design of any project using our cast stone or natural stone products are the responsibility of the project's design professional, contractor, architect, and installer. All systems and products, including but not limited to fireplace mantels, range hoods, bathtubs, and architectural surrounds, must meet all applicable state and local building codes and safety standards. We disclaim any liability for the engineering, architecture, design, or workmanship of any project using our stone materials. Information in this specification reflects standard product details as of the publication date and is provided in good faith. Any CAD drawings or design files provided by us are intended solely as a guide for design and general proportion and should not be used as finalized construction or engineering documents. These are not intended for any construction, engineering, or safety use. We assume no expressed or implied liability for the architecture, engineering, or workmanship of any project.

(c) When shop drawings are provided, you will be required to carefully review and sign off on shop drawings before your product is manufactured. The completion of shop drawings is contingent upon our receipt of accurate information from you. Errors are your responsibility. The lead time when shop drawings are required begins when you sign off on the drawings.

(d) Rush orders. If you require a rush order, a charge of 25% will be added to your invoice. For custom natural stone products, the normal rush time is approximately 16 weeks. For custom cast stone products, the normal rush lead time is approximately 6 weeks. For both, additional variables may apply that would extend the rush lead time.

Force Majeure

11. The Company shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement to the extent such delay or failure is caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquakes, pandemics or public health emergencies, war, terrorism, civil unrest, governmental actions, labor shortages, labor disputes, supply chain disruptions, material shortages, transportation delays, utility or telecommunications failures, internet or website outages, cyberattacks, power outages, and other events beyond our reasonable control. In such cases, we are not responsible for any resulting loss or inconvenience. The affected party shall provide prompt written notice and use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance.

Confidentiality

12. Buyer acknowledges that the Company's pricing, designs, and business methods are proprietary. By requesting an estimate, soliciting and/or accepting a bid from us, or placing an order with us, you agree to use reasonable efforts not to disclose or share Company pricing, proposals, or Confidential Information with a competitor or third parties, except as necessary for the completion of your project. If we have submitted a bid, you agree that you will not disclose Confidential Information to another bidder(s). This provision is intended to protect the Company's legitimate business interests and is not intended to restrict lawful consumer rights, including the ability to leave reviews or discuss general experiences. This confidentiality obligation continues for a period of five years from the date on your invoice.

Change Orders, Invoice Adjustments, Cancellation

13. Change Orders for Custom Products

(a) Estimates and orders for custom products are based on dimensions calculated in accordance with measurements you provide. It is your responsibility to double-check your order to verify its accuracy, including dimensions. If you make a change that affects the product's dimensions before your custom product(s) goes into production, we reserve the right to adjust your invoice amount.

(b) Custom orders cannot be changed after going into production. In-stock orders cannot be changed after they have been packed for shipping without payment of applicable restocking charges.

14. Other Invoice Adjustments

(a) We reserve the right to initiate adjustments of up to 15% of the total invoice after your custom product(s) goes into production. An adjustment resulting from a change to tax rates, or the imposition of additional taxes, is not limited to 15%.

(b) We may initiate an adjustment because of an increase in the price of raw materials or our cost of labor, a change to tax rates, or the imposition of additional taxes. A pricing error/omission on our website or in our printed literature, or made by a Company representative, is another example of when we may make an adjustment to an invoice amount.

(c) We reserve the right to initiate an adjustment before or after you have made (and we have received) payment/paid the deposit and we have accepted your order.

(d) In the event that increased costs of materials, labor, transportation, tariffs, or other unforeseen economic factors make performance commercially impracticable or materially more burdensome, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to adjust pricing as outlined herein, or to cancel the order upon written notice to Buyer. In the event of cancellation by the Company due to such circumstances, the Company will refund amounts paid by Buyer less any costs already incurred, including but not limited to design, materials, and production commitments. Buyer acknowledges that pricing in the construction materials industry is subject to volatility and agrees to these terms as a condition of sale.

15. Switching In-Stock Items. If you wish to change an in-stock order to a different in-stock item after the order has been packed for shipping, we may, at our sole discretion, accommodate the switch. Any such change is subject to the following:

(a) A re-stocking charge will be added to your new invoice. We will advise you of the applicable charge amount, which must be paid before your new product is shipped;

(b) Payments already made toward the original in-stock order, including any deposits, are non-refundable. Such payments may, at our discretion, be applied toward the cost of the new in-stock item, minus the re-stocking charge and any additional costs associated with the switch;

(c) Additional costs may include re-packaging, new shipping arrangements, administrative fees, and any price difference between the original and replacement item;

(d) Switching between in-stock items does not constitute a cancellation and does not entitle Buyer to a refund. Buyer acknowledges that costs are incurred by the Company in accommodating any such switch, and that payments are applied toward these costs.

Returns, Refunds, and Cancellations

ALL SALES ARE FINAL EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION.

Due to the custom, made-to-order, and high-value nature of the Company's products, returns are not accepted as a general practice. However, under limited and exceptional circumstances, and solely at the Company's discretion, the Company may agree in writing to accept a cancellation or return subject to the terms below.

16. (a) No General Right of Return. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that products are manufactured to order or prepared specifically for shipment, that products are not stocked consumer retail goods, and that the Company does not offer a general return policy. No right of return or refund exists except as expressly set forth herein or where required by applicable law.

(b) Restocking / Cancellation Charges — Liquidated Damages. Any approved cancellation or return is subject to a restocking and cancellation charge of no less than sixty-five percent (65%) of the total invoice amount. This charge represents a reasonable and good-faith estimate of costs and losses incurred by the Company, including but not limited to: engineering preparation, CAD drawings and design development, material sourcing and procurement, factory scheduling and production allocation, labor and administrative time, project coordination and overhead, and loss of production capacity and opportunity cost. The parties agree that these amounts are not a penalty, but rather liquidated damages reflecting a reasonable estimate of losses at the time of contracting.

(c) Custom Orders. If a custom order is canceled prior to shipment, any such cancellation — if approved by the Company — will be subject to a charge of not less than 65% of the total invoice amount, and may be higher depending on the stage of production and costs incurred. Once a custom product has entered production or has been completed, no cancellation or return will be accepted, except where required by applicable law.

(d) In-Stock Orders. If an in-stock order is canceled prior to shipment, any such cancellation — if approved by the Company — will be subject to a restocking charge of not less than 65% of the total invoice amount. Once an in-stock order has been packed for shipment or shipped, no cancellations or returns will be accepted, except at the Company's sole discretion.

(e) All orders cancelled after delivery of the product(s) has been scheduled with the shipper will be subject to a cancellation charge of 65% of the total invoice amount.

(f) Returns After Delivery (If Approved). If, in rare circumstances, the Company agrees in writing to accept a return after delivery, Buyer is solely responsible for proper packaging and crating of the product in accordance with industry standards, arranging and paying for return shipping, and coordinating pickup and logistics. All such costs are the responsibility of the Buyer and are non-refundable. All returned products must be received in original condition, free from damage, and properly packaged. If any returned product is damaged, altered, improperly handled, or otherwise not in resalable condition, the Company reserves the right to deny the return entirely or apply additional charges beyond the 65% restocking fee, including up to the full value of the product.

(g) On-Site Damage. Products that have been damaged after delivery, including during unloading, handling, storage, or installation, are not eligible for return.

(h) No Buyer's Remorse. Orders may not be canceled or refunded due to changes in preference, design decisions, or project conditions.

(i) Compliance with Applicable Law. Nothing in this section limits any rights that may not be waived under applicable consumer protection laws in the United States (including California and other applicable states) or Canada. Where required by such law, certain cancellation or refund rights may apply and will take precedence over this Agreement.

Product Images, Descriptions, and Presentation

17. Product Appearance. Product images displayed on our website or in printed materials are for illustrative purposes only. Due to factors beyond our control, the actual appearance of products may vary slightly from the images shown. We do not accept liability for such variations.

18. Natural Material Variations. Products crafted from natural materials may exhibit variations in color, texture, fossilization, and veining. These characteristics are inherent to natural stone and similar materials and contribute to their unique beauty. Such variations are not considered defects and do not qualify as valid reasons for returns or exchanges.

19. Accuracy of Information. We make every reasonable effort to ensure that product descriptions, specifications, and pricing are accurate at the time they are published on our website or in printed materials. However, information may occasionally be subject to updates or corrections, and may not always reflect the exact details at the moment an order is placed.

20. Color Representation and Photography Disclaimer. We strongly advise against making purchasing decisions based solely on product images. Colors may appear differently depending on environmental factors such as lighting conditions, wall colors, surrounding furnishings, and the amount of natural light. Additionally, digital displays — including phones, tablets, and monitors — render colors differently due to screen settings and automatic enhancements.

Please note that the color of your mantel or product will not match customer-provided photos. Instead, the final product color will correspond to the official color sample when viewed in your specific environment. All batches are mixed according to precise specifications to maintain consistent quality.

21. Rendered Images and Samples. Some images on our website or in marketing materials may be digitally rendered to closely represent our products for presentation purposes. For the most accurate representation, we strongly recommend ordering official color samples and material samples prior to purchase.

22. Product Dimensions. Because of the characteristics of natural and cast stone:

(a) Quoted dimensions and weight on an estimate or order will not be exact and are approximations only.

(b) In-stock products will be within ± ½" to 1" of specified dimensions.

23. Physical Characteristics of Stone.

(a) Natural (cut) stone products may have physical traits that are or resemble the effects of erosion in nature, such as small fractures, chips/chipping, and/or incising (naturally-occurring cuts, splits, or fissures). Such qualities are not deficiencies in the material or finished product.

(b) Using their best judgment regarding the appearance of the product and having regard to its structural integrity and suitability for purpose, our professional stonemasons/fabricators may take no action with respect to the effects of naturally-occurring wear-and-tear on a finished product or they may fill such traits with grout, epoxy, caulk, etc.

(c) Natural (cut) and cast stone products may have spotting and marks on the stone that occur either naturally or from the production/manufacturing process. Such qualities are also not deficiencies in the finished product.

24. Disclaimer on Published Information. Product descriptions and prices are presented in good faith on our website and in printed literature and are believed to be correct when published. Errors occasionally occur and we are not liable for errors or omissions in published information. We make no representations or warranties concerning the completeness or accuracy of such information and we are not obligated to honor published information. We reserve the right to change, delete, or otherwise modify the information on our website and in printed literature without prior notice. In no event are we responsible for damages of any kind resulting from the use of or reliance on information on our website or in printed literature. Although we make every reasonable effort to provide you with information that is accurate at the time it is provided, we do not warrant the accuracy of information or advice provided in emails or otherwise in writing to you or expressed verbally by employees. We are never responsible for any representations made by contractors, subcontractors, or any other third party. Prices shown are subject to change without notice.

Shipping & Delivery

25. (a) You will receive email notification that your product has left our warehouse (in-stock order) or factory (custom order) ("the shipment date") and has been turned over to the common carrier (shipping company). We will provide you with the name of the shipping company, your order's tracking number, and the shipping company's telephone number and/or website for tracking. Please ensure this information is provided to the representative who will be responsible for receiving delivery if that is not you.

(b) We ask our shippers to contact you (telephone or email) so you will know when to expect delivery. You should nevertheless track your shipment with the tracking information provided. If you have not been contacted within 4 to 5 days of the shipment date, call the shipping company and request the delivery date.

(c) Delivery dates and times are determined by the shipping company and are beyond our control. We cannot be held responsible for delays. We do not guarantee delivery schedules and any delivery date we indicate is approximate only and based on information provided to us by the shipping company. Check tracking information regularly and confirm your delivery date with the shipping company the day before.

(d) You are advised not to commit to an installation schedule with a third party until you have received delivery of your product and have inspected it for damage or missing pieces. We are not responsible for any costs or other losses incurred by you, your agents, or any other party because an installation schedule or any other appointment was made before the product was received and checked.

26. Shipping to Canada and International Destinations

(a) Destinations Served. Through our website checkout, we ship only to destinations within the United States and Canada. For customers outside the United States and Canada, orders are handled through a separate off-platform process as described in the Geographic Scope and Jurisdictional Limitations section above and require direct communication with the Company prior to order acceptance.

(b) Customs, Duties, Taxes, and Tariffs — Buyer Responsibility. Regardless of destination, Buyer is solely responsible for all customs duties, import duties, taxes (including general sales tax, value-added tax, harmonized sales tax, and any similar taxes), tariffs, brokerage fees, customs clearance fees, and any other charges assessed by any customs or governmental authority in connection with the importation, exportation, or delivery of the Product. This responsibility applies to all orders — domestic, Canadian, and international — and applies both to shipments to the destination and, where applicable, to any return or re-shipment. Buyer acknowledges that tariff rates, duty rates, and import-related fees may change between the time of order and the time of delivery, and Buyer is responsible for any such changes. The Company does not collect these charges on Buyer's behalf except where expressly required by law.

(c) No Advice on Import Charges. It is Buyer's responsibility to obtain information about applicable customs duties, taxes, tariffs, and other import-related charges before placing an order. The Company cannot and does not provide advice about such charges.

(d) Canadian Orders — Cancellation. Given the extended processing time, customs documentation, cross-border logistics, and non-recoverable fees associated with Canadian shipments, Canadian orders cancelled after delivery of the product(s) has been scheduled with the shipper will be subject to a cancellation charge of one hundred percent (100%) of the total invoice amount, except where a lesser amount is required by applicable Canadian consumer protection law. Buyer is responsible for all shipping, customs, duties, tariffs, brokerage, and return-shipping fees, both outbound and inbound, associated with any such cancellation or return.

(e) International Orders — Cancellation. Given the extended processing time, specialized export documentation, cross-border logistics, carrier-specific requirements, and non-recoverable fees associated with international shipments, international orders (i.e., orders shipped outside the United States and Canada) cancelled after delivery has been scheduled with the shipper will be subject to a cancellation charge of one hundred percent (100%) of the total invoice amount. Buyer is responsible for all shipping, export, customs, duties, tariffs, brokerage, and return-shipping fees, both outbound and inbound, associated with any such cancellation or return.

(f) Title and Risk of Loss on International Shipments. For orders shipped outside the United States, title and risk of loss pass to the Buyer upon delivery of the product to the common carrier at our facility, unless otherwise specified in a separate written agreement.

27. Delivery is curbside

(a) There must be a drop-off point visible from the street and clear of debris or other natural or non-natural impediments to unloading large, heavy crates/boxes. The area must be cleared of snow. Shipping company drivers do not unload crate(s)/box(es). Unloading a manufactured stone product is not a one-person job.

(b) We always request delivery by trucks equipped with power liftgates. However, such is not always available. You will need to check with the shipping company to determine if your delivery is by a power-liftgate-equipped vehicle. If so, you will need a crew of, at minimum, 2 to 3 physically-fit individuals to move crate(s)/box(es) onto and off the liftgate.

(c) If a power-liftgate-equipped truck is not available, we recommend you have a forklift and operator available at the expected delivery time. Neither the Company nor the shipping company is responsible if the product is damaged at the time of delivery, i.e., while being unloaded from the truck.

28. Shipping company unable to deliver

If delivery does not take place because you did not make the necessary arrangements (e.g., no suitable drop-off area, no one authorized to receive and sign for the delivery, no crew or equipment to unload crate(s)/box(es)), you will be responsible to the shipping company for all costs associated with the failed delivery, the storage of the crate(s)/box(es) pending rescheduled delivery, and the rescheduled delivery.

29. You must contact the shipping company directly (not us) if you need to reschedule delivery. The shipping company may charge a fee for rescheduling delivery and you will be responsible for paying that fee directly to the shipping company.

30. Shipping damage

The requirement to report damage within 24 hours is based on the policies and strict claim deadlines imposed by third-party freight carriers and their insurance providers. Failure to report damage within this timeframe may result in denial of the claim by the carrier. Accordingly, timely inspection and reporting is a material condition of this Agreement.

We pack/crate products as much as possible to eliminate the possibility of damage during shipping. However, it can still happen. Please carefully review and follow these inspection and reporting instructions:

(i) All products are inspected and damage-free when packed and turned over to the shipping company.

(ii) The shipping company takes all industry-standard precautions to avoid damage during shipping.

(iii) We are not liable for damage during shipping. The shipping company is responsible for damage but because we will carry out repairs to or replace damaged products, we will work with you and the shipping company/its insurance company to have damaged products repaired or replaced at no additional cost to you. Note that you must report damage within 24 hours to have products repaired or replaced at no additional cost. Additional charges will apply to repair or replace damaged products reported after the 24-hour window.

(iv) The shipping company's responsibility for damage ends when the truck arrives at the drop-off point. Drivers do not unload and you are responsible for unloading and for any damage that occurs during unloading.

(v) Visual inspection. Before your delivery is removed from the truck, inspect it for visible external damage to the crate(s)/box(es) or packaging. Use a flashlight if necessary. Minor scuffing or shallow tears to external packaging do not indicate damage.

(vi) If you see what appears to be material damage (i.e. damage significant enough to indicate your product may be damaged taking into account that we pack product in foam and/or plastic wrap within weight-appropriate crates), DO NOT SIGN FOR OR ACCEPT DELIVERY, i.e. do not remove the product from the truck, WITHOUT FIRST:

(A) Taking photographs of the crate(s)/box(es) showing the visible damage (take as many photographs as you believe are necessary; you may also wish to record a video circling the crate(s)/box(es) paying particular attention to the visibly damaged area(s). Note that it is unlawful to photograph or video record people without their specific consent. Do not attempt to record video if the driver objects.);

(B) Contacting us by telephone for instructions and following those instructions;

(C) If the delivery takes place outside our normal business hours, contacting the shipping company and reporting the visible damage and following their instructions;

(D) If you are unable to reach us or the shipping company or have been instructed to accept delivery (which is likely), or if external damage is not visible until the crate(s)/box(es) are off the truck, print "VISIBLE DAMAGE TO CRATE/BOX" on the Bill of Lading/delivery receipt the driver will require you to sign. If you do not observe visible external damage, but you have not opened the crate(s)/box(es), which is likely, write "DELIVERY ACCEPTED – CONTENTS HAVE NOT BEEN EXAMINED." Do not let the driver do this for you;

(E) NEITHER THE SHIPPING COMPANY NOR THE COMPANY will accept liability for repairing or replacing product damaged during shipping if the notations in subsection (D) are not noted on the Bill of Lading/delivery receipt.

(vii) Inspection after unpacking. WITHIN 24 HOURS (immediately after delivery is best unless there is insufficient light), remove all packing material from the product and inspect for damage. Take photographs of any damage.

(viii) THE SHIPPING COMPANY MAY REFUSE A CLAIM FOR DAMAGE MADE MORE THAN 24 HOURS AFTER DELIVERY and we are never responsible for shipping damage.

(ix) If you observe damage after unpacking the product, contact us immediately (within 24 hours) for instructions. Note that instructions will include:

(A) You will be required to make a written (email) report of the damage you observed and to send that report and photographs to us;

(B) You will be required to save all broken pieces of stone and all packaging material.

(x) Missing pieces. Products are manufactured and shipped in pieces that require assembly as well as installation. When inspecting the product for damage, compare the pieces to your order. Report any missing pieces to us within 24 hours.

31. With respect to damage, we will at our sole discretion decide whether to repair or replace the product or piece. Sometimes we send extra pieces and we will not repair or replace a damaged piece if it is not necessary to do so. If we need to manufacture a damaged or missing piece, we will do so on a rush basis but we may need to order additional material from a supplier. We will endeavor to deliver replacement pieces within 6 to 8 weeks. In rare situations (e.g., a custom item is too fragile to be shipped back to us for repair without further damage), we may in our sole discretion credit your invoice so that you may have the piece repaired locally.

32. (a) Deemed acceptance after 24 hours. If we do not receive written (email) notice of an issue (damage or missing piece(s)) from you within 24 hours of delivery, you are deemed to have received the complete product in good condition and neither the Company nor the shipping company has any further obligation to you.

(b) We assume no responsibility for any product, material, or property that is stolen, broken, damaged, or misplaced after the product has been delivered to the job site.

33. Local deliveries. We may use our truck to deliver your order if it is practical to do. The cost of such delivery will be specified on your invoice. We will schedule the delivery date with you. We reserve the right to change the delivery date and/or make partial deliveries or deliver by installments. Our driver does not unload crate(s)/box(es). We are not responsible if the product is damaged at the time of delivery, i.e., while being unloaded from the truck. Further, all risks of loss pass to you upon delivery. Sections 27 to 32 apply with necessary modification when we deliver your order.

Assembly & Installation

34. Buyer Responsibility for Installation. The Company does not install Products. Buyer is solely responsible for arranging and paying for professional assembly and installation on site. Select a contractor with experience assembling and installing stone fireplaces, mantels, surrounds, range hoods, bathtubs, or architectural products. Installation should never be attempted as a DIY project and must be performed by a trained, qualified professional to ensure optimal performance and longevity. It is important to work with qualified, skilled, and experienced tradesmen using proper equipment and materials, while following all codes and proper installation methods. Maintaining the surrounding areas, using products correctly, and regularly inspecting the home and its functions are crucial for the longevity of our products.

35. Site Preparation and Access. Buyer is solely responsible for:

(a) All substrate preparation of the site, including levelling the hearth-designated area, prior to installation. The Company is not equipped to perform this type of work;

(b) Ensuring that the job site is accessible for delivery and inspection, including providing safe and unobstructed access, necessary permissions, adequate space for delivery vehicles, and any required equipment or personnel. Failure to provide access may result in additional charges, delays, or failed delivery, all of which shall be the responsibility of the Buyer;

(c) Ensuring the work area is clear and all furnishings have been removed from the room where the product is to be installed, that flooring and finishes are protected, and that there is lighting sufficient for a renovation project;

(d) Any damage to floors, walls, ceilings, finishes, fixtures, or furniture that occurs during assembly, installation, or movement of the product from one place to another on the site (i.e. from the drop-off point to the room in which it will be installed).

36. No Company Liability for Installation. The Company is not responsible for any aspect of the installation of its Products. The Company does not warrant the work of any contractor, installer, or third party performing installation, regardless of whether referred or recommended by the Company. Any recommendation or referral of an installer by the Company is provided as a courtesy only and does not create any relationship of agency, partnership, or endorsement between the Company and the installer. Buyer contracts directly with the installer of its choice and is solely responsible for the workmanship, performance, and conduct of its installer.

37. Photography. You agree that we or our representative may take and display on our website, social media, or in other marketing materials photographs and videos of the product after installation. Such photographs and videos will focus on the product itself and will not identify you personally without your consent.

Fireplace Safety

38. (a) We supply cast stone and natural stone fireplace mantels, over-mantels, and surrounds. Our cast stone products (limestone cast) are approximately 3/4"-1" thick and contain an EPS foam core/back encased in cast stone. EPS foam core is usually in the mantel shelf, jambs/legs, and other parts. The surface burning characteristics of our cast stone: Method ASTM E84 with a 0 Flame Spread Index and 0 Smoke Developed Index. Notes: Passed.

It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser, contractor, builder, designer, or their agents to ensure compliance with all applicable building codes, including the use of EPS foam core, prior to installation or use. The Company makes no warranty of code compliance and accepts no liability for non-compliance. The purchaser and their agents agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any claims, damages, or penalties arising from such non-compliance. We only provide information about the size, fit, and anchoring of our product(s). Responsibility for constructing the fireplace itself remains with the builder, general contractor, contractor, sub-contractor, or homeowner, as does meeting the requirements of federal, state, and local codes, and any restrictions imposed by the manufacturer of prefabricated fireplaces. We assume no liability for fireplaces that are not safe or do not meet code. We cannot provide advice about whether or not a fireplace is safe or code compliant.

(b) Only qualified contractors should construct conventional masonry fireplaces and inspect for conformity to current fireplace Life Safety Codes. If you have any concerns about the safety of your fireplace before or after the installation of our product(s), contact your local fire department for inspection and guidance.

(c) Life Safety Codes are fire protection requirements designed to provide reasonable degrees of safety from fire. They cover construction, protection, and operational features designed to provide safety from fire, smoke, and panic. The National Fire Protection Association offers consumers free access to its codes and standards. For general information, reference www.nfpa.org and for NFPA Code 211 specific to Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances, https://www.nfpa.org/codes-and-standards/all-codes-and-standards/list-of-codes-and-standards/detail?code=211.

(d) Our range hoods are also cast stone and natural stone; subsections 38(a), (b), and (c) apply to them with necessary modification. Our cast stone products (limestone cast) are approximately 3/4"-1" thick and may contain EPS foam core typically encased in non-combustible cast stone. EPS foam core can be in the corbels, overhood, crown, and other parts.

Product Warranty and Limitation of Liability

39. Warranty. We warrant that our products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship when used reasonably, in accordance with provided instructions, and consistent with generally accepted industry standards and practices. All products are warranted only within accepted industry tolerances.

Except as expressly stated above, no other warranties are provided, whether express or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Our liability is strictly limited, at our sole discretion, to the replacement or supply of sufficient product to address any verified defect.

By accepting and using this product, the purchaser agrees that we shall not be liable for any additional claims or damages, including incidental, consequential, or indirect damages, whether arising from breach of warranty, negligence, or any other cause. The purchaser is responsible for inspecting all products prior to installation, as installation constitutes full acceptance of the product.

This warranty may not be modified, extended, or altered by any representatives, distributors, or dealers.

Natural variations in color and texture are part of the beauty of handcrafted cast stone (limestone cast) and natural stone and should be expected. Each of our products is handcrafted with exceptional craftsmanship, resulting in a truly unique and individualized finish. Natural and cast stone materials often feature small holes, fissures, or surface variations such as cracks and depressions — these characteristics are part of the stone's authentic beauty and should be appreciated as natural features rather than imperfections.

40. Pre-Installation Inspection and Reporting. Manufacturing defects would be visible immediately upon delivery and as such must be reported within 7 days of delivery and before installation. All workmanship warranty claims must be submitted before installation is completed. Workmanship warranty claims cannot be processed for products that have already been installed. Installation of the product by you or your contractor constitutes full acceptance of the product and conclusive acknowledgment that the product was free from visible defects at the time of installation. All shipping/delivery damage must be noted on the Bill of Lading.

41. Exclusions from Warranty. The following are expressly excluded from any warranty and are not considered defects covered under this Agreement:

(a) Any fractures, breaks, chips, scratches, cracks, or other damage that occurs after installation. Such damage is presumed to result from on-site conditions, handling, installation methods, or use, and is not covered under the workmanship warranty;

(b) Non-structural damage, including hairline cracks, surface cracks, and minor surface variations, which occur naturally over time in cast stone and natural stone products and do not affect the structural integrity of the product;

(d) Damage resulting from improper installation, DIY installation, or installation performed by any party other than a qualified professional;

(e) Damage resulting from on-site conditions, including but not limited to improper substrate preparation, moisture, settling of the structure, framing issues, thermal expansion, or any other environmental or structural factors;

(f) Damage resulting from misuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or failure to follow care instructions;

(g) Natural variations in color, texture, fossilization, and veining inherent to natural stone and cast stone materials, as described in Sections 17-23 of this Agreement;

(h) Any damage or failure caused by fire exposure beyond normal fireplace use, chemical exposure, abrasive cleaners, or impacts;

(i) Cosmetic variations that fall within industry-accepted tolerances.

42. Remedy. Our sole obligation and the Buyer's exclusive remedy under this warranty is, at our sole discretion, repair, replacement, or supply of sufficient product to address any verified manufacturing defect reported within the time periods and conditions specified above. We do not cover labor, removal, re-installation, or any consequential costs associated with a warranty remedy.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, so certain limitations may not apply to you.

Please review our Care and Maintenance, Installation Guides, and FAQ to avoid any problems that can occur to cast stone and natural stone products like ours.

Limitation of Liability

43. In addition to limitations to our responsibility stated elsewhere in this Agreement and to the fullest extent as may be disclaimed at law:

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

(a) We are not liable for failures to perform, or for delays in the performance of, any obligations under this Agreement that result wholly or in part from any factor(s) beyond our direct and immediate control.

(b) We are not liable for costs or losses of any nature that you incur as a direct or indirect result of delays in the production or delivery of one or another of our products, whether or not such delays are reasonable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we are not liable for costs or losses of any nature relating to delayed openings (e.g., delays to the "grand opening" of a retail location), delayed closing dates (e.g., delays to the closing of the sale of a home), and/or delayed inspection dates during or at the anticipated conclusion of a construction project.

(c) We are not liable to you for the sale of products and/or provision of services, or any delays related thereto whether within or beyond our control, whether for breach of contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability, in tort (including without limitation, negligence), or otherwise for pre-contractual or other representations (other than fraudulent misrepresentations) that result in (1) economic or commercial loss (including without limitation loss of revenue, profits, contracts, business, savings or anticipated savings); (2) any loss of goodwill or reputation; (3) any special, punitive, indirect, consequential, or incidental loss or damages (including without limitation, loss of use, loss of time, or inconvenience); whether such are suffered by you, your agent, or a third party.

(d) In no event will our total liability to you arising out of or in any way related to our sale of products or provision of services to you exceed the total charge (exclusive of taxes) on the invoice for your order.

44. (a) Without limiting the generality of Section 43, in the event the manufacture or delivery of our product is part of a larger project and whether or not that project is being carried out in whole or in part or overseen by a general or other contractor, under no circumstances will we be liable to the property owner, general contractor, or any other contractor, agent, supplier, or third party for costs or losses resulting from delays of whatsoever nature to any other part or parts of the project caused by or any way related to delays arising out of the manufacture or delivery of our product. For certainty, we will not be responsible whether such liability purports to arise from breach of contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability, in tort (including without limitation, negligence), or otherwise for pre-contractual or other representations (other than fraudulent misrepresentations) whether the result is (1) economic or commercial loss (including without limitation loss of revenue, profits, contracts, business, savings or anticipated savings), (2) loss of goodwill or reputation, or (3) special, punitive, indirect, consequential, or incidental loss or damages (including without limitation, loss of use, loss of time, or inconvenience).

(b) In no event will our total liability arising out of Section 44(a) exceed the total charge (exclusive of taxes) on the invoice for the order for our product(s) and/or services.

45. Precedence

(a) In the event of a conflict, the terms of this Agreement take precedence over the terms of any contract between us and a general or other contractor or party, no matter the dates on the contracts. This Section 45 takes precedence over language in any other contract claiming precedence either generally or over this Agreement in particular.

(b) In no event will delivery of our product be hindered or barred from the site of a project. The contractor or installer hired by the property owner to install our product will have reasonable access to the site (generally and to the location of the installation of our product specifically) to install our product. The Company or its representatives will have reasonable access to the site for any purpose related to our Products, including without limitation to inspect the site of the installation of our product for compliance with the terms of this Agreement and/or to retrieve leftover material after the conclusion of the installation.
