6.6 The Customer acknowledges that some installations of cut-pile carpeting develop irregular light and dark areas. These are caused by some pile yarns changing their original direction of lay, and thereby changing the way light is reflected or absorbed from their surface. The occurrence of permanent pile reversal is related to location of the carpet.

(a) whilst carpet manufacturers make every effort to match dye lots, colours or shade may vary between batches of product and/or between sales samples and actual product supplied; and

(b) carpet manufacturers cannot guarantee to produce perfectly uniform patterned product, therefore there is no guarantee that patterned product will match perfectly when installed; and

(c) the installation process for carpet may require seams and cross-joins and that the appearance of these may be affected by light source and in particular the construction of the chosen product.

9. Flooring Risk

COTM shall not be held liable for any loss, damages or costs however arising due to the same.

9.4 The Customer acknowledges that while all care is taken during installation, scratches on skirting are at times unavoidable.

9.5 COTM will not be responsible for the adjustment of any doors to allow for the new flooring height due to the Customer’s selection of the Goods.

9.6 Where the Goods supplied include a directional pattern the Customer shall advise COTM at the time of the quotation should they have a preference as to the direction in which the pattern should run. If no preference is given to COTM by the Customer then COTM will install at their discretion.

Any variations will be charged for on the basis of COTM’s quotation and will be shown as variations on the invoice. Payment for all variations must be made in full at their time of completion.

9.8 COTM shall advise the Customer if COTM believes that there are any issues with the sub floor (including, but not limited to, moisture problems which may cause the Goods distort, bubble and discolour) however the Customer acknowledges that it is not always possible to identify such problems therefore the Customer agrees that COTM shall not be held liable in any way whatsoever should any such issue go undetected causing damage to the Goods.
