Application of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale. These general terms and conditions of sale of Granimax OÜ (hereinafter general sales conditions) apply to all such sales transactions between the seller OÜ Granimax (reg. code 12382975) (hereinafter Granimax) and a buyer (hereinafter Customer) to which the general sales conditions apply (including sales transactions carried out via the online store).

1. Object of contract
Granimax OÜ sells certain products and provides related services to the Customer based on the terms and conditions agreed in the Contract. The Customer pays for the products and services in adherence to the terms and conditions agreed in the Contract.
2. Procedure for processing orders
The Customer requests a price quote for Granimax’s products and services via Granimax’s website or by e-mail. This request for a price quote is not binding on the parties. After receiving a request for a price quote, Granimax issues a preliminary quotation indicating the price of taking measurements as well as the preliminary price calculation of products and installation and other related services. The initial quotation is valid for 3 (three) months, unless stated otherwise. Granimax may adjust the final price of products, installation, and related services in the final quotation (order) after measurement is completed. The preliminary quote becomes binding on the parties as regarding the taking of measurements after the Customer has approved the preliminary quote. Approving the preliminary quote does not establish a binding contract regarding products and installation and the Customer is not obligated to approve the final quotation. After approving of the preliminary quote, Granimax and the Customer agree on a suitable time for the taking of measurements. Granimax performs relevant measurement during working hours and, subject to separate agreement with the Customer, also outside of normal working hours. After measurement is completed, Granimax issues an order that indicates the final quotation for relevant products, installation, and related services. The order is valid for 3 (three) months, unless stated otherwise. The order becomes binding for the parties after the Customer has returned a signed copy of the order to Granimax or has approved the order in another manner. Subject to a separate agreement, Granimax may issue the order based on drawings and measurements provided by the Customer; however, in such an event Granimax is not liable for the fit and final dimensions of the products. If during the production of relevant countertops it becomes clear that it is not possible to make the countertop based on the drawing prepared by the measuring expert, Granimax reserves the right to change the production drawing. The Customer’s approval is sought for any changes. If the new production drawing leads to a change in the price of work or products, the Customer undertakes in the part exceeding the price of the order to pay Granimax an additional charge in adherence to the price change. If the new price is lower than that noted in the order, Granimax refunds the difference to the Customer.
3. Product quality
Granimax employs its best efforts to ensure that delivered products do not have defects resulting from faulty manufacturing and faulty materials. The Customer is aware and accepts the fact that when Granimax uses natural materials, the texture, pattern, color, and color tone of the delivered products may vary and may not be exactly the same as in samples of the same materials. The parties also agree that natural materials are singular and may contain lines resembling cracks, scratches, surface irregularities, indentations and holes, variations in pattern and shade, color changes, and particles of material from other rocks. Such special features of the material are not considered to constitute defects.

The exact time at which installation is performed is agreed between Granimax OÜ and the Customer. Granimax OÜ carries out installation work during normal working hours and, as subject to a separate agreement with the Customer, also outside of normal working hours. Granimax OÜ has the right to use subcontractors for measuring and installation. Immediately after completion of the installation work, the parties jointly review the work and products and sign relevant instrument of receipt indicating any defects discovered by the Customer (or their representative). Granimax OÜ corrects such defects within a reasonable period of time. The Customer undertakes to be present during completion of the installation work, of which Granimax OÜ notifies the Customer reasonably in advance. The non-appearance of the Customer or their designated representative for the inspection and signing of the instrument of receipt gives Granimax the right to use third parties as witnesses of the delivery and such persons are considered to be the Customer's authorized representatives upon delivery.
The risk of accidental destruction or damage of the products is transferred to the Customer as of signing of the instrument of receipt.
