own shipping account.
Upon Delivery: Immediately review the shipment for accuracy of

discrepancies or materials damaged in shipment must be presented
in writing to Heritage Tile, LLC within five days of delivery. No
claims can be made once material has been installed.
Returns: No returns are accepted after 90 days. Special order or
custom items cannot be returned. Returned materials will not be
accepted without a Returned Material Authorization form (RMA).
Returned material must be shipped with the same care and
protection against damage that it was initially shipped with. Only
materials received in re-saleable condition will qualify for a credit.
Warranty: All Heritage Tile Collections materials are warranted to
the original consumer purchaser to be free from defects in material
and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of installation.
Installation constitutes acceptance of the product. Damage to
product caused by inappropriate installation, accident, misuse,
abuse, or improper maintenance is not covered by this warranty.
Variations in shade and crazing are inherent characteristics thereof
and are not defects. Product may vary from control sample as per
industry practices. Variations in thickness will be allowed as per
industry standards. No warranties are made against crazing,
scratching or wear due to: improper installation-including improper
alteration of the surface with sealers or grout, falling objects,
abuse, misuse, exposure to extreme temperatures, using improper
incidents. Heritage Tile, LLC hereby disclaims implied warranties
including that of Merchantability and Fitness for a Particular
Purpose and any liability for special, incidental or consequential
damages. USAGE CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE.
Heritage Tile, LLC represents a family of tile brands and
collections, including the Subway Ceramics collection of historic
American heritage tilework. These Terms and Conditions of Sale
apply to all collections and companies that are part of the
Heritage Tile, LLC group.
Installation: Tile installation techniques should conform to
standard industry methods as specified by The Tile Council of
North America (www.tileusa.com). When setting tile, use a
beating block to flatten the tile surface and even-up the edges of
the tile. Material should be installed by pulling from all crates or
boxes to insure optimal blending of shade variation. No
adjustment can be made once material has been installed.
Sealing: All crackle glazes should be sealed with a high-quality
impregnating sealer. A pre-grout application of an impregnating
sealer is recommended on all glaze finishes when using
contrasting grout colors. Highly pigmented grouts may be seen
on crackle glazes despite a pre-grout application of sealer.
ALWAYS test in a small, out of the way area first. Moisture can
cause discoloration of some glazes. To prevent discoloration, the
tile grout should be routinely sealed with an impregnating sealer.
Refer to the sealer manufacturer’s warranty, technical and
product information for specific details on product installation,
useful life, and product applications (including any warnings)
before use. Heritage Tile, LLC does not accept responsibility or
liability for installation, sealing or refinishing of any product.
Care & Maintenance: Glazed tile surfaces should be cleaned
routinely with an appropriate, non oil-based household or
commercial cleaner. Routine cleaners should never contain acids
or ammonia. Acids can damage the grout and glazed surface of
the tile, and ammonia can discolor the grout. Never use abrasive
materials that are capable of scratching the glazed tile surface.
ALWAYS test in a small area PRIOR to usage of any
installation/tile/cleaning/maintenance product to determine
whether the product you are about to apply serves its intended
purpose.
Purchase Orders: Purchase orders are required for all purchases.
Please order using complete glaze & item numbers to prevent
processing delays. All purchase orders are to be faxed or emailed
to Heritage Tile, LLC at 608-237-7291 or sales@heritagetile.com.
Special order items cannot be cancelled once in production.
Payment Terms: All materials are purchased with 50% down
payment due upon placement of order. The balance is due prior
to shipment. All payments must be made by check for orders
over $2,500. To expedite smaller orders, a down payment can be
made by check with the balance due payment by credit card prior
to delivery.
