Design Tiles Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Design Tiles Terms & Conditions. This page outlines our policies regarding order acceptance, payment terms, delivery, returns, and product specifications. Please review these terms carefully to ensure a smooth purchasing experience. These guidelines help establish clear expectations for both parties as we work together to bring quality tile products to your space.

Order Acceptance

Any order accepted by Design Tiles Pty Ltd (hereafter referred to as “The Company”), whether or not it is based on or results from a price list or quotation given by the company, is deemed to incorporate these terms and conditions. No variation, modification, or substitution of these terms and conditions shall be binding unless specifically accepted by the Company in writing.

By engaging in any transaction or placing an order with the Company, the Purchaser acknowledges and consents to these Terms and Conditions, which govern the relationship between the Purchaser and the Company. Your agreement to these Terms and Conditions becomes effective from either:

– The moment your order payment is confirmed, or

– If applicable, the confirmation of payment for a deposit on your order, concerning the supply of that order by the Company to the Purchaser.

For existing orders, any variation to these Terms and Conditions can only be made through written agreement between the Purchaser and the Company.

Quotations and Pricing

Unless previously amended or withdrawn, any Company’s quotations are open for acceptance for a period of 30 days from the date provided. All prices provided are inclusive of GST and, unless otherwise stated, do not include free delivery for orders.

Samples

Samples are subject to batch variations and any samples purchased are subject to variation in shade, pattern, design, and tone. These variations are outside the control of Design Tiles and the customer should keep in mind that samples are only to give an indication of the product and may vary in shade, pattern, design, tone, and texture from actual full-size tiles when ordered.

Order Confirmation and Payment

An order is not binding until the Company provides you with the written acceptance or confirmation of the order at our absolute discretion. Subject to any terms agreed in writing between the Company and the Purchaser, the terms of payment are as follows:

To proceed with an order, a 50% deposit is required upon placement. After 4 weeks from the date of the order, an additional 25% of the remaining balance is due, and the final 25% balance must be settled within 6 weeks from the order placement.

Warehouse Pickup & Vehicle Guide

If you’re located in NSW, you can select the Warehouse pickup option at checkout and collect your order from our Sydney warehouse in Rockdale once you’ve received confirmation that it’s ready.

You’ll also receive a booking calendar where you can choose a convenient time slot for your pickup.

To help you plan ahead, we’ve created a Vehicle Load Guide outlining estimated weights and vehicle payload limits.

Please make sure to check your vehicle’s maximum load capacity before collecting your order to ensure safe and proper transport.

Order Hold and Storage Fees

An order is not binding until the Company provides you with the written acceptance or confirmation of the order at our absolute discretion. Subject to any terms agreed in writing between the Company and the Purchaser, the terms of payment are as follows:

To proceed with an order, a 50% deposit is required upon placement. After 4 weeks from the date of the order, an additional 25% of the remaining balance is due, and the final 25% balance must be settled within 6 weeks from the order placement.

Property of Goods and Payments

Until full payment for the goods is received:

– The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company retains the right to enter any premises owned, occupied, or used for storage by the Purchaser and reclaim the Goods at any time.

The Company will make reasonable efforts to deliver the goods by the specified date and location as indicated by the Purchaser. However, in the event of a delivery delay:

– The Company shall not be held liable for any failure to provide goods due to transportation or shipping delays, or any other circumstances beyond the company’s control.

– If the Purchaser fails to accept delivery of the goods provided by the Company pursuant to an order, the Company reserves the right to charge the Purchaser a restocking fee of 25% of the value of that order. This amount is considered a reasonable pre-estimate of the loss the Company will incur in such circumstances.

Please note that the Company holds no responsibility for the goods once they are picked up from the warehouse, whether through a third-party courier service or by the Purchaser themselves. The Company do not endorse third-party courier services and take no responsibility for late deliveries or goods damaged in transit.
