Natural stone product warranty
Our Stone Products are offered wholesale to professionals in the landscape industry. These products are provided "AS IS" without any guaranty or warranty, express or implied.
We continuously strive to provide our customers with a large and varied selection of the highest quality stone available in the market. However, Cavicchio Greenhouses, Inc. makes no express or implied warranty for natural stone materials regarding merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and makes no other warranties, expressed or implied to the purchaser and/or sub-purchaser or end user of the natural stone products. Cavicchio Greenhouses, Inc. is not responsible for the manner in which the material is installed or applied.
The following guidelines are intended solely to clarify an understanding of certain properties, characteristics, or conditions associated with Cavicchio Greenhouses, Inc. products. They do not represent all of the properties, characteristics, or conditions which may exist or which may be covered under this warranty disclaimer.
Color and Veining: Stone is composed of natural materials and is subject to variations in background color, veining distribution and veining pattern. The color, shade, veining, color concentrations (blotches), and any other variances in the appearance of natural stone will exist and will vary between a sample you may have used in the selection process and the actual stone(s) used on your project, between two stones, and even within the same stone. Such naturally occurring variations are to be expected in stone and are not considered defects.
Fissures: Stone may have a seam that is not visible at the time of sale or installation causing the stone to open or crack.
Finish: Your stone product may come with a finish, such as Sawn, Thermal Flamed, Honed, Polished, Natural Cleft, Bush Hammered or Sandblasted. Edges may also be Rock Faced, Split or Sawn. Irregularities in the finish levels of natural materials like stone are common, reflecting the unique natural patterns and finish that give each stone product its distinctive appearance. Finish will vary from piece to piece and on the same piece.
Surface Irregularities and Thickness: Natural stone is composed of minerals and is earth-formed over hundreds of millions of years. Fissures, pitting, mineral pooling, and other naturally occurring features in stone should not be considered as defects, and are not covered under this warranty. The thickness of stone slabs vary, therefore thickness designations (i.e. 4 inches) are nominal rather than exact. Dimensions of cut-to-size stone products may vary up to 1/8 inch from the nominal dimension.
Weathering: Stone may change color as it ages; this can happen right away or take years to occur. Stone could change color due to exposure to the elements. Stone may have minerals in it that cause rust or staining to appear. Stone can be affected by ice melt, minerals or chemicals in rain, tap water, pool water or groundwater. Permanent stains can occur. Using acid or harsh chemicals will also affect the color or integrity of natural stone. Use of Polymeric Sand in joints between stones can cause water retention leading to spalling.
