2.2 The warranty covers tiles-to-tiles grouting only, addressing defects in grouting materials and installation at no additional cost, including transportation fees.
2.3 The warranty is strictly limited to tile joints and does not cover tiles connected to any other components, such as sanitary ware, furniture, piping, plastic, metal, silicon, marble, wood, etc.
2.4 The warranty does not cover repairs, touch-ups, tile replacements, goodwill adjustments, or additional services. Grout Pro-Tech LLP shall be compensated for transportation, labor, and any other miscellaneous fees if repairs are not covered.
2.5 Every warranty claim will be investigated and scheduled for repair according to Grout Pro-Tech LLP’s availability, which may take 2 weeks to 2 months during peak periods (e.g., year-end).
2.6 If damages are due to the user’s or any third party’s fault, reconfiguration, repair, willful constructional variations, modifications, or adjustments, the client will be charged for repair work and transportation fees, and the warranty will be voided based on the investigation result.
2.7 If it is determined to be a service quality issue, Grout Pro-Tech LLP will perform a corrective service at no additional charge within the warranty period. However, if the service was rendered according to BCA/industry standards or customer specifications, Grout Pro-Tech LLP expects full payment as per the contract/invoice.
2.8 The warranty covers services provided by Grout Pro-Tech LLP employees only. Any purchase of Grout Pro-Tech LLP materials installed by other companies' employees is not covered by any warranty. Clients are encouraged to seek advice from their installer, as workmanship quality may vary.
2.9 Should any contractor purchase Grout Pro-Tech LLP materials, the warranty covers material quality only, not workmanship. The material warranty is 6 months from purchase, provided it is unused and unopened.
2.10 We strongly advise that waterproofing, leakage or any defective issues be repaired by the client/contractor before the commencement of our services. Should the client choose to proceed without resolving such issues, grouting work may still proceed. Still, it will incur additional charges due to the extended duration, and no warranty will be provided for the affected area(s).
