INSTALL: All installation workmanship is guaranteed by ECF for one year. Any repairs beyond one year is a chargeable service call. ECF. will try to meet customer installation timing requirements as best as possible. Regular installation time starts approximately 9am to 10am unless otherwise agreed upon. ECF is not responsible for any work delays due to traffic, weather and unforeseen circumstances which may affect arrival time. 

Once an install date is set, it is the customer’s responsibility to make sure the site is ready and accessible so that work can commence upon the installer’s arrival. It is the customer’s responsibility to notify ECF in a timely fashion for any delays due to painters, other contractors, or construction etc., so we can re-assign our installation crew. Extra charges may incur for installer’s down time. 

The customer must ensure the site has adequate power and lighting to commence work. Room temperature should be at minimum 18 degrees C to allow the flooring to acclimate. 

Customer is responsible that all areas are cleared and accessible for our installers: 

• Moving all valuable and breakable objects. 
• Disconnection and reconnection of all plumbing, electrical, gas appliances and other appliances. 
• Emptying fridges and freezers to ensure nothing will fall over and break. 
• Empty wall units, cabinets, and bookcases. Remove wall frames and other hanging items if applicable. 
• Moving of computer equipment, audio, video, pool tables, fish tanks, pianos, large screen TV and large wall units. ECF. and staff are unable to accept responsibility for any damages caused by moving customer’s possessions or any of the above mentioned items. 

ECF will not accept liability for any damage to existing floor, wiring (cable, telephone, security system etc.), subfloor or internal cabling and or radiant heating pipes that have not been formally identified before the installation. 

The customer or their contractor must ensure that sub-floors are clean, dry and level (including securing loose floorboards) before the agreed installation dates. No allowance has been made in our quotation for subfloor repairs, floor cleaning and removal of equipment or waste disposal left by other trades. Any delays to the installation schedule that are caused by the site being left unfit for flooring installation may result in additional costs. 

Any extra labour and materials not quoted or included in the original scope of work will be agreed upon by customer and ECF before commencing work and extra charges are the customer’s responsibility. 

All carpets even when cut to room sizes are heavy and difficult to move especially if site layout and access are restricted. Carpets may have to be folded or bent to gain access, which may leave slight creases in the pile and while every care is taken when installing carpets and flooring, touch ups may be required to some areas. ECF cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred. 

Placement of seams is at the discretion of the Installer unless otherwise specified. Seams occur with all carpets; however, it is more noticeable with level loop carpets and is not an installation fault. 

ECF staff will not carry out alterations to any doors. Cutting, adjustment and re-fitting of doors is not included in the installation service. 

ECF cannot be held liable for any damage or loss resulting from repairs attempted by a customer or third party. 

Ownership of the goods shall remain the property of ECF until fully paid for. Customer’s failure to pay for materials and services rendered will result in a claim against the customer and may enforce this claim by filing a lien against Customer’s property. 

Inaccuracy Disclaimer: From time to time there may be information on our Website or in our showroom that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, and availability. ECF reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order). 

This agreement shall constitute the entire Agreement between parties. The Seller shall be entitled to alter these Terms and Conditions at any time, but this right shall not affect the existing Terms and Conditions accepted by the Customer upon making a purchase.
