The customer is to ensure that road is wide enough and load-bearing and that the delivery vehicle will be able to reach its delivery destination without hindrance. If the circumstances require special tools at the point of delivery (for example a crane truck etc.) the costs for this are to be covered by the customer. It is for the customer to ensure that the customer or a representative on the customer’s behalf is present at the agreed time to accept, check and sign for the delivery. If the person accepting delivery of the goods is not there at the agreed delivery time and if the customer cannot be reached on the telephone number provided, the customer is to cover the costs caused by a new delivery.

If the damage or flaw is noticed later, this should be notified within a reasonable timeframe of when the customer noticed the damage. In order to ensure the quick resolution of any issues Tulikivi recommends that the customer reports the damage without delay after they notice it.

The use of ceramic sauna stones is forbidden! If these are used the warranty expires and Tulikivi does not bear any responsibility for damage caused by incorrect use.

The warranty does not cover colour variations normal to natural stones, natural variations in the stone resulting from its formation and minor hairline cracks which do not affect the sauna stove’s safety and operation. The warranty also does not include the surface colour changes which occur near the fire box in ceramic stoves.

The natural colour variations in stone tiles are not included under the warranty. The tiles are always selected in natural light.

On the basis of a justified and proven warranty report the manufacturer may choose to repair or replace the faulty product. The repair or replacement will be at the manufacturer’s costs.

The replacement part will be given in accordance with section 12.2 a spare part warranty. The repaired product’s warranty will remain as before.
