Contract and Purchase Process
All orders placed on the Nitya Stones website are subject to full payment before processing. Once payment has been received, you will receive a confirmation email verifying that your selected products are available and in stock. Orders are then dispatched to the delivery address provided during checkout.
If a product becomes unavailable after your purchase, we will notify you by email and issue a full refund or suggest an alternative product.
Pricing
- The prices listed on our website at the time of purchase represent the final amount payable for your order.
- Additional delivery charges may apply, depending on location and accessibility. Please refer to our Delivery Information Page for full details.
- Prices may change without notice due to market fluctuations. Any quotations are valid only at the time of issue.
Product Variations and Installation
While we aim to display all product colours, finishes, and dimensions as accurately as possible, variations are inherent to natural stone.
Please read product descriptions carefully before purchasing—do not rely solely on product images. Each batch of stone may vary in tone, veining, and texture.
Minor dimensional tolerances are considered acceptable due to the natural origin of the material:
- ±5mm for sandstone, slate, and limestone
- ±2mm for granite
- ±10mm for cobbles and setts
We recommend testing slabs by sprinkling water to reveal their true colour before installation. A thin layer of quarry dust may temporarily make new stones appear lighter in shade.
Right to Cancel
- You have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of purchase without providing a reason.
- Please refer to our Returns Policy for further details.
- If goods have already been dispatched, you may return them at your own cost or request collection (subject to a collection fee).
- Refunds will be processed within 30 days of cancellation, excluding delivery, collection, and restocking fees where applicable.
Cancellation by Nitya Stones
We reserve the right to cancel an order if:
- Stock is unavailable,
- Delivery is not possible to your location, or
- A pricing or listing error has occurred.
In such cases, you will be notified by email and refunded in full within 30 days. Nitya Stones is not liable for any inconvenience caused by such cancellations.
Delivery Information
For complete details, please see our Delivery Policy.
Deliveries are made kerbside using a tail-lift and manual pallet truck. It is your responsibility to ensure access for an 18-tonne vehicle and a flat, hard surface for unloading. Deliveries cannot be made on gravel, grass, or steep inclines.
If access restrictions are not disclosed and delivery fails, re-delivery or return charges will apply.
Upon receipt, please inspect all goods before signing the delivery note. If any damage is visible, sign the note as “Damaged” and notify us within 72 hours.
Damaged or Defective Goods
Although we take great care during packaging, minor damage can occur during transit. We recommend inspecting all products before installation and retaining damaged slabs for use as cuts or offcuts.
Please note:
- Minor chips or edge wear are not considered defects.
- Claims for damage must be reported within 72 hours of delivery.
- Claims for less than 5% of the total order are not valid as this is within the natural tolerance level for stone products.
- Refunds or replacements will be issued only after claim verification.
