7.1 INCORRECT ORDERS OR DELAYS;

No responsibility will be accepted for incorrect orders or delays caused by site plans scale errors or other miscalculations or changed designs. Quantities are the purchaser’s responsibility and a site check is appropriate prior to final delivery of any paving or associated products to the site. No pavers or associated products will be accepted for return after delivery to the site.

7.2 DELIVERIES AND PRODUCTS IN TRANSIT;

No responsibility is accepted in any way for paving tiles and or products in transit. Delivery is the purchaser’s responsibility even when organised and/or ordered by Primestone or any of Primestone’s employees and or agents.

7.3 SALTWATER POOLS AND SALTY CONDITIONS;

Saltwater pools are very corrosive and will affect the performance of any paving tiles or associated products and in particular the bullnosing tiles on the edge of pools and/or spa pools and surrounding area. Primestone pool bullnosing and associated products are manufactured stronger than normal and waterproofing additives are added to Primestone paving during manufacturing to help minimise damage caused by saltwater. Primestone recommends 2 to 3 coats of good sealant be applied to the surface of the paving tiles and bullnosing before filling the pool with water, and before adding salt into pool water. All care is taken to enhance the performance of Primestone paving, bullnosing and associated products for saltwater conditions; however, no responsibility will be accepted in any way for the paving tiles, bullnosing and or associated products for saltwater damage.

7.4 VARIATION IN COLOUR AND IN THICKNESS;

Variation in colour and in thickness is to be expected. However, the colour variation is intentional, in most instances, as we believe it adds to the character of the Primestone paving and bullnosing tiles. The variation in thickness of up to a maximum of 5 mm is overcome upon the paving vibration and compaction. We recommend the use of a piece of carpet under the compactor before compaction, to minimise damage to the tiles.

7.5 BREAKAGES AND TOLERANCES;

A breakage of up to 5% is to be expected by the purchaser. Most of broken tiles or bullnosing, if any, can be used for cutting to minimise wastage.

Variations in joints size of up to 5mm in between the paving and in paving tiles levels are acceptable by the buyer. Primestone’s policy for breakages over and above the 5% tolerance is to replace the broken products one for one and is subject to Primestone site inspection of the broken product and exchange voucher being granted for all legitimate claims.

7.6 PALLETS DEPOSIT AND PALLETS PICKUP FEE;

All paving pallets remain the property of Primestone and must be returned to Primestone by the buyer unless, authorised otherwise in writing. Primestone will charge a fee of $ 88 per load for one trailer or ute pickup of pallets. Pallets deposit of $ 25.00 per pallet will be charged, prior to delivery or will be invoiced for any pallets not returned to Primestone. Any pallets deposit paid is refundable upon the return of pallets to Primestone, by the buyer.

7.7 REMOVAL OF RUBBISH AND WASTE OF SITE;

7.8 SAFETY OF THE WORK SITE;

Safety of the work site is the responsibility of everyone in concern and the buyer’s responsibility in this is paramount as the contractor is not always on site and or is busy performing the contracted work for and or on behalf of the buyer. It is recommended that the site be kept clean, tidy and safe.
