The terms of this Agreement are governed by the laws of the United States (including federal arbitration law) and the State of New York, U.S.A., without regard to its principles of conflicts of law, and regardless of your location. EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND Waterworks, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND YOU AGREE THAT Waterworks AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.

The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online athttps://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowProperty?nodeId=/UCM/ADRSTAGE2021425&revision=latestreleased. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

THE PRODUCTS IDENTIFIED IN THE SALES ORDER CAN ONLY BE ALTERED OR MODIFIED UPON THE WRITTEN AGREEMENT OF WATERWORKS. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY ADDITIONAL OR INCONSISTENT TERMS IN THE SALES ORDER.

BESTELLUNG

Please review the Sales Order thoroughly for accuracy, quantities and dates. All quantities must be provided to Waterworks. Although we may assist in preparation of quantities or details of custom specifications, Waterworks is not responsible for discrepancies on quantities, custom design specifications or installation. Product availability dates are provided on the Sales Order and are estimates only. We will make every effort to contact you in the event of a change to the product availability dates. Waterworks will not be liable for any loss, expense or damage incurred by you if Waterworks fails to meet the estimated availability dates.

Any additions to orders may result in color or production lot variation, price variation or delivery delays. Any addition placed after the original order is delivered requires a sample from the original lot and is subject to availability and delivery delays for small batch production. Crazing, shade, color and size variations are inherent characteristics of tile, stone, furniture, and wood products. Product received may differ in shading and size of samples received. All sizes are nominal. Waterworks recommends ordering a fifteen percent (15%) overage on all tile, stone and wood orders.

PREISE & ZAHLUNGEN

Sales Orders for less than fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) must be paid in full at time of order. Sales Orders over fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) require a fifty percent (50%) deposit of total order, excluding freight and taxes with the exception of special orders which must be paid in full at time of order. The deposit must be maintained at all times. All orders must be paid in full prior to shipping. Waterworks accepts MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover, cash, personal, bank checks, money orders and wire transfers. Waterworks is not responsible for wire or returned check fees, duties, taxes and brokerage fees.

Product, tax and freight pricing are subject to change without notice. Upon receipt of deposit, all product prices will be locked in. Taxes and freight charges on orders are estimations only and subject to change upon shipment based on current market conditions. Pricing on product and freight will be honored indefinitely on orders paid in full. All prices payable for products are exclusive of all taxes. You agree to pay all applicable taxes. All refunds will be credited back through the original method of payment used in the original transaction.

VERSAND & LIEFERUNGEN

You must accept delivery of the products within ninety (90) days of the estimated delivery date. If you do not accept delivery within ninety (90) days of the estimated delivery date, you will incur a monthly service fee equal to three percent (3%) of the total open order value, (assuming product availability). The fee will be assessed monthly and will be payable in full prior to shipment. All orders nine (9) months past the estimated delivery date may be subject to cancellation and forfeit of deposit.

The Client must inspect deliveries within five (5) business days of delivery for damages, shortages, finish and color. It is the Client’s responsibility to accept delivery and verify accuracy of the shipment. Any visible damage or shortage must be noted by the Client or the Client’s agent on the freight carrier’s Delivery Documents at the time of delivery. All claims for damage and/or shortage must be reported to the Waterworks Client Service Dept (800-927-2120) within five (5) business days of the delivery.
