WARRANTY CLAIMS

Claims will only be considered if the installation of the paving was done according to SABS specifications. Zenzele reserves the right to use an independent source to investigate claims and installation methods used. Where a contractor purchases reject and first grade paving for the same project, no claims will be entertained as there cannot be differentiated between reject and 1st grade once installed.

Please contact our transport co-ordinator at dispatch 012 562 9960 to confirm delivery dates and availability of transport.

OFFLOADING|

• To avoid problems, we do need contact details of a responsible person on your site, as well as an alternative number.
• Due to safety reasons, pavers can only be offloaded on a level area, next to the truck.
• Trucks may NOT enter customer’s property or offload over boundary walls or fences, unless the customer agrees in writing. Should this be required, it is then done at customer’s own risk, and Zenzele Bricks cannot be held responsible for resulting damages to buildings, paving, gates, fences or any other property or person.
• Please ensure that the site is suitable for offloading. By signing the delivery note, you (The customer) agree that your order has been offloaded / received in good condition and that you are satisfied with the condition of the product(s). Any additional transportation / movement of your products after you signed the delivery note, will be your sole responsibility and Zenzele Bricks accepts no responsibility whatsoever, thereafter.

ACCESS TO SITE|

• It is the responsibility of the customer to notify our Sales Person (at the time of purchase) of any difficulties to access the delivery site. This includes panhandles, small pavements, poor road conditions, steep slopes, dead ends, etc. If in doubt please contact us. Ensure that there is enough space for the load and the truck to turn.
• Should you live in a security complex or estate, please advise our Sales Person of the policies of the complex relating to acceptable truck sizes, labour, delivery days and delivery times. Delivery charges will not be refunded if a delivery cannot be done due to problems at the customer’s site. A new delivery charge will be due for a repeat delivery of a returned consignment.

COLOUR AND DIRTY OR SOILED PAVERS|

• Efflorescence – This is due to dissolved salts in the cement and aggregates migrating to the surface and forming a white crystalline layer, which is soluble in dilute acid. Efflorescence is influenced by rain with subsequent drying. This may affect the colour of bricks and pavers, but can be removed by washing with diluted hydrochloric acid. 1 Part acid mixed with 20 parts water. (Pool acid can be used if it is hydrochloric acid.) Zenzele does not accept responsibility for the occurrence of efflorescence on its products, or treatment thereof.
• Due to the nature of our industry and products, it is possible that products can get dirty occasionally. Customers may find that the bottom layers of bricks in the packs are soiled due to dust or mud. It is a generally accepted practice for contractors to clean brickwork or pavers thoroughly after placement. This practice will rid the bricks of dirt and dust that has accumulated during storage, transportation and on site. Claims for soiled products will therefore not be accepted.

COLLECTIONS|

• Customers are required to present their delivery note, which will be issued by the dispatch office at the time of collection of goods.
• Zenzele will not assume responsibility for any damage to customer’s or their contractor’s vehicles, trailers or injuries to staff while collecting products at the Zenzele factory, regardless whether Zenzele staff and equipment are used to load or not. Customers or their contractors enter the Zenzele site entirely at their own risk.
• When a customer uses another person or contractor to do the collection on their behalf, an arrangement must be made with the dispatch office beforehand.
• The collection slip must state clearly the customer’s details, who the driver is, which product and what quantity is being collected.
