This does not apply if you have entered into an agreement with your designer to purchase plans.

3. QUOTATION
3.1. Where the price or quotation is based on information provided by the customer and that information proves to be inaccurate, One Cabinet Solution may make such increases or decreases in the price, as it deems necessary because of such inaccuracy
3.2. The quotation is given on the basis that the floors and walls of the premises are true and square, subject to the tolerances in the Barbados building Standards. If the floors and the wall are found to not be within prescribed tolerances, then the Customer may be liable for additional cost. Should the floors and walls not be true and square this could have implications on the completed look of your new cabinetry
4. TIMELINES
4.1. One Cabinet Solution shall endeavour to have your cabinetry installed within 6-8 weeks of the final measure, with the exception of lacquer kitchens which will take 8-10 weeks from final measure. If you are having a stone benchtop, there will be a further 5 – 10 working days after your cabinetry has been installed before your benchtop is installed
4.2. One Cabinet Solution shall not be liable for delay or failure to perform its obligations if the cause of the delay or failure is beyond its control
5. FINAL MEASURE
5.1. The customer is to ensure that the space is ready for final measure and free of any existing cabinetry or appliances that may obstruct the wall spaces to be measured. New builds should be fully gibbed with bulkheads in place. An additional charge will be applied if an additional final measure is required due to the site not being ready
6. MATERIALS
6.1. Engineered Stone: Please be aware that each piece of engineered stone is unique; some grades of stone may show some specks or irregular aggregate distribution. We are not always able to predict or prevent the appearance of these. If you are having a benchtop between walls, also be aware that unless you would like a join in your benchtop there may be slight damage made to your walls during the installation process. All care will be taken however stone tops are heavy and we will be endeavouring to get the best final finish
6.2. Edge Tape: As the edge tape is a PVC product and is a different material to the board that is being used for cabinet fronts and panels, there may be a slight variance in colour. This is not something that One Cabinet Solution has any control over
6.3. Boards: Whether you are using a melamine or acrylic product there can sometimes be imperfections. One Cabinet Solutionen deavours to ensure that all products produced by us are to the highest of quality, however there may be some slight dimpling or imperfections in board materials, especially in High Gloss products
6.4. Lacquer finishes: Please be aware that lacquer finishes may show slight imperfections due to very small specs of airborne particles that can be present at the time of painting. This may be more prominent in darker paint finishes
6.5. If in the event the materials for your kitchen are unprocurable or dramatically delayed, then a suitable substitute product will need to be selected with your designer. Any difference in the cost of such substitute materials shall be treated as an extra or a deduction of the contract price

7.1. Supply of your appliances or other items to be incorporated into the kitchen construction must be available at One Cabinet Solution a minimum of 2 weeks prior to kitchen installation
