§ 1
Scope & Legal Entity
All supplies, quotations, purchase orders, invoices, and logistics agreements are contracted directly with Anantay Exports Pvt. Ltd. (CIN: U14100RJ2021PTC076892, GSTIN: 08AAWCA2095G1Z9), trading under the registered brand name Stoneza. Placing an order signifies unconditional acceptance of these terms.
§ 2
Quotation Validity & Price Basis
Formal quotations issued by Stoneza are valid for 30 calendar days from the date of issue unless stated otherwise in writing. Prices are quoted Ex-Works (Quarry / Processing Unit, Bhilwara / Bijolia / Kota) unless FOR destination or FOB/CIF export terms are explicitly agreed upon. Applicable GST, export customs duties, and statutory levies are charged at actuals.
§ 3
Natural Geological Variation
Natural stone is an organic product quarried from the earth. Inherent variations in tone, vein patterns, grain texture, mineral inclusions, natural pitting, and cleft variation are intrinsic characteristics of natural stone and do not constitute manufacturing defects. Physical samples provided represent general characteristics; delivered production batches will exhibit authentic natural nuances.
§ 4
Dimensional & Thickness Tolerances
Unless customized architectural precision tolerances are stipulated in writing:
• Calibrated & Machine-Cut Slabs/Tiles: Thickness tolerance of ±1.5mm to ±2mm; length and width tolerance of ±1mm.
• Natural Cleft & Hand-Chiseled Stones (Cobbles, Crazy Paving, Fieldstone, Walling): Thickness tolerance of ±4mm to ±6mm according to standard quarry extraction norms.
§ 5
Order Confirmation & Payment Milestones
Orders are formally confirmed only upon receipt of a signed Purchase Order (PO) or written specification approval, accompanied by the agreed mobilization advance (standard 50% advance for custom fabrication, with 100% balance cleared prior to material dispatch). Credit terms are subject to formal underwriting and corporate guarantees.
§ 6
Packaging, Palletizing & Export Fumigation
All materials are packed in heavy-duty, reinforced wooden crates or A-frame pallets lined with protective foam, corner guards, and high-tensile plastic banding. For international exports, all timber packaging strictly complies with ISPM-15 heat treatment and fumigation standards.
§ 7
Transit Insurance & Logistics Management
Where transport logistics are coordinated by Stoneza on behalf of the buyer, shipments are booked through vetted freight carriers. Comprehensive transit insurance must be requested prior to dispatch if not covered under the buyer's open Marine/Transit policy. Risk transfers to the buyer upon handover to the freight carrier.
§ 8
Site Delivery & Unloading Responsibilities
Unless specifically contracted for crane or tailgate offloading, offloading at the project site is the sole responsibility of the buyer/consignee. The buyer must ensure suitable road access and clearances for heavy multi-axle freight vehicles.
§ 9
Pre-Installation Inspection & Dry-Lay Protocol
IMPORTANT: Natural stone must be unpacked, cleaned, inspected, and dry-laid across the project surface prior to adhesive fixing or mortar application. Installation constitutes final acceptance of the stone. No claims regarding color blending, surface finish, or visible dimensional variance will be entertained once the stone is cut, fixed, or grouted.
§ 10
Transit Breakage & Wastage Allowance
Due to the nature of natural stone transit over long distances, a standard industry transit breakage and edge chipping allowance of up to 3% to 5% is customary and factored into project estimates. Specifiers and contractors are advised to order 7% to 10% extra over net area to accommodate site cuts, waste, and pattern alignment.
§ 11
Damage Claims & Inspection Window
Any transit damage, crate breakage, or quantity discrepancy must be endorsed clearly on the transporter's Lorry Receipt (LR) upon delivery and notified to Stoneza in writing with high-resolution photographic evidence within 48 hours of delivery.
§ 12
Sealing, Adhesives & Chemical Compatibility
Natural stone surfaces are porous and susceptible to staining from acids, oils, organic debris, and efflorescence if left unsealed. Stoneza recommends performing a sample patch test with the intended sealer and stone adhesive prior to full site application. Stoneza is not liable for staining resulting from improper installation or unapproved sealers.
§ 13
Custom Fabrication & CNC Cut-to-Size Orders
Bespoke dimensional cuts, curved copings, carved stone Jaalis, fluted wall panels, and custom-profiled architectural stone pieces are manufactured to approved CAD shop drawings. Once quarry cutting or CNC processing commences, custom orders are strictly non-cancellable and non-refundable.
§ 14
Title & Retention of Ownership
Title and legal ownership of supplied stone materials remain with Anantay Exports Pvt. Ltd. until full invoice payment has been realized in bank accounts. Risk of loss or damage passes to the buyer upon delivery.
§ 15
Force Majeure
Stoneza shall not be held liable for failure or delay in supply caused by events beyond reasonable control, including quarry flooding, severe monsoon disruptions, government mining moratoriums, statutory bans, transport strikes, or port embargoes.
§ 16
Limitation of Liability
Stoneza's maximum aggregate liability for any verified defect or breach of contract shall strictly not exceed the invoice value of the defective batch of material supplied. Under no circumstances shall Stoneza be liable for consequential losses, site delays, liquid damages, or re-installation labor costs.
§ 17
Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
All contracts, purchase orders, and supply transactions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with supply contracts shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, India.
