    Small excert frpm my T&C's that customer signs first. Michael Atkinson Flooring will not be responsible for joints in plywood showing through on smooth shiny flooring, this is a problem that can occur due to movement in the existing timber sub-floors. On all concrete floors Michael Atkinson Flooring strongly recommend a suitable Moisture Suppressant be installed prior to installation, if this is not carried out Michael Atkinson Flooring will not be held responsible for any problems arising from moisture in the sub floor.

    Just because its written in the terms and conditions doesn't make you exempt,
    On the contract side a builder told a flooring contractor that he wouldn't pay for latex on a new screed, the contract told him the grit/ sand would show!, he then got a formal instruction from the builder making him exempt, obviously the client wasn't happy with on the dimples in the polyflor xl. When it went to court the judge asked the builder if he was an expert, he yes no, when he asked the flooring contractor he said yes, the judge then awarded in the builders favour, saying the flooring contract should have known better as an expert, if he knew what would happen then he shouldn't have done it!
    So the moral of the story is if you know what he outcome of something will be, even if the client makes you exempt because he is not willing to pay for it, you could still be libel

    Yes, I have heard the judge asking who's the expert before tripping you out. Walk away is the only answer, but surely if the customer is made aware and have signed they accept it may happen and your not liable then you should be ok I would have thought. Just had something similar with a wool carpet fading within a few months and because I never made the customer aware that th carpet MAY fade I was liable according to his solicitor, so added this now.
    FADING / SHADING
    Cut pile carpets sometimes show a shading effect that appears as light and dark patches due to different pile direction. This effect can be exaggerated by such things as room lighting and certain types of traffic across the carpet. Shading is a natural phenomenon which cannot be totally eliminated in the production process and is therefore not considered to be a manufacturing defect

    No this one,

    SHADING / FADING
    Cut pile carpets sometimes show a shading effect that appears as light and dark patches due to different pile direction. This effect can be exaggerated by such things as room lighting and certain types of traffic across the carpet. Shading is a natural phenomenon which cannot be totally eliminated in the production process. Some quality wool carpets will upon initial exposure to light undergo a rapid lightening over the first few weeks. This is referred to as First Fade and in both cases not considered to be a manufacturing defect
