Disclaimer
The following disclaimer governs your use of the TimelessStone Co. website and your purchase of our products. By accessing this site or purchasing our materials, you acknowledge and agree to these terms. Please read carefully.
1. Natural Material Variations
Ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, and granite are natural and manufactured products subject to inherent variations. We strive for consistency, but variations are expected and do not constitute defects.
Color & Texture Variations:
Natural stone (granite, marble) exhibits color, veining, and texture variations due to geological formation. No two slabs are identical. Ceramic and porcelain tiles may show slight shade variations between batches due to kiln temperatures, clay composition, and glaze application.
- Photos on this website are representative samples and may not exactly match the product you receive.
- Monitor calibration, lighting conditions, and photography can affect color perception.
- We recommend ordering samples before placing bulk orders to assess actual appearance.
- Shade variation is graded on a scale (V1–V4). Check product specifications for each item.
Batch Consistency:
While we make every effort to source materials from the same quarry block or production run, slight batch-to-batch variations may occur. We recommend:
- Ordering all materials for a single project at once to ensure batch consistency.
- Purchasing 10–15% extra material from the same batch for future repairs or replacements.
- Inspecting all materials upon delivery before installation.
Dimensional Tolerances:
Ceramic and porcelain tiles may have dimensional variations within industry standards (typically ±0.5mm to ±2mm, depending on product and standard). Calibrated tiles have tighter tolerances. Granite slabs are cut to specified dimensions with ±2mm tolerance unless otherwise stated.
2. Installation and Third-Party Liability
TimelessStone Co. supplies materials only. Unless explicitly stated in a signed contract, we do not provide installation services for the materials sold.
No Liability for Third-Party Installation:
- We are not responsible for installation errors, workmanship defects, or damage caused by installers, contractors, or property owners.
- Installation must be performed by qualified, licensed professionals following industry best practices and manufacturer guidelines.
- Improper substrate preparation, adhesive selection, grout application, or sealing can void warranties and result in product failure.
- Any claims related to installation issues must be directed to the installing party, not TimelessStone Co.
Installation Guidelines:
We provide general installation guides and technical data sheets as a courtesy. These are informational only and do not constitute professional advice. Always:
- Consult with a licensed architect, engineer, or certified installer for your specific project.
- Follow local building codes, ADA requirements, and safety regulations.
- Test materials and methods on small areas before full installation.
- Use appropriate safety equipment and follow OSHA guidelines when cutting or handling stone and tile.
Pre-Installation Inspection:
Important: All materials must be inspected before installation. Once installed, materials are considered accepted. We will not accept claims for visible defects (chips, cracks, color mismatches) that were apparent before installation.
