TILING MURRUMBEENA — SITE TERMS

Terms of use, and the limits of what a page can promise

This site describes tiling, waterproofing and tile repair work in general terms. A page can explain how a shower is built up or why a screed needs a fall; it cannot see your substrate. These terms set out the difference, and how the site itself may be used.

How enquiry details are handled is covered separately in the Privacy Policy.
Tiling tools arranged on patterned tiles, including a tape measure, mallet, straightedge, scraper and masking tape.

AT A GLANCE — SIX THINGS THESE TERMS SET OUT

01   How this website may be used

02   Quotes and estimates stay indicative until the job is seen

03   Service and guide pages are general, not a specification

04   Text, layout and photography on the site

05   Links that lead somewhere else

06   Liability, and the rights nothing here removes

By reading these pages or sending an enquiry through the site, you accept the terms below.

01/06

Using this website

This site is published by Tiling Murrumbeena to explain the tiling, waterproofing and tile repair work carried out in Murrumbeena and the surrounding south-east Melbourne suburbs, and to give people a straightforward way to make contact about it. You are welcome to read the pages, quote short extracts with attribution, and send an enquiry about your own project.

What the site is not for: bulk copying or republishing of the content, automated harvesting of the pages, sending enquiries that have nothing to do with a tiling project, or attempting to interfere with how the site runs. Details submitted through the enquiry form should be your own, or supplied with the permission of the person they belong to, and are handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

Pages are added and revised as the service offer grows — new service pages, suburb pages and guides. The version of these terms published here is the one that applies at the time you use the site. Read them alongside the Privacy Policy.
02/06

Quotes and estimates are indicative until the job has been seen

Nothing published on this site is an offer capable of acceptance, and no figure discussed before an assessment should be treated as a fixed price.

BEFORE AN ASSESSMENT

Anything said by phone, email or through the enquiry form ahead of seeing the area is a general indication only. It rests on your description of the room, the tile and the condition of what is already there.

AFTER AN ASSESSMENT

A written quote issued after the area has been inspected sets out the scope it covers. Where that quote and a page on this website differ, the quote is the document that governs the work.

IF SCOPE CHANGES

Strip-out uncovers things a walk-through cannot: soft sheeting, a floor without fall, an old membrane that has failed. Additional work is discussed and agreed before it is carried out.

03/06

Service and guide pages are general information

The service pages and the articles in the guides describe how work of that kind is generally approached — the order of preparation, where membranes go, what tends to cause a tile to fail. They are written to help you understand a job and describe your own situation accurately.

They are not a specification for any particular property, and they are not instructions to work from. Substrates, drainage, exposure and existing build-ups differ from one house to the next, sometimes from one room to the next. Decisions about your own bathroom, balcony or floor should be made on the basis of an assessment of that surface, not a page written for a general reader.

WHERE THE DETAIL BELONGS

If a guide has raised a question about your own place — a shower that has started to move, grout going dark in one corner only, a balcony holding water — the useful next step is a conversation about that surface. Use the contact form, or go straight to Request a quote.

Descriptions of method on this site are written in plain language for homeowners. They summarise practice; they do not reproduce technical documents or reference numbers.

04/06

Text, layout and photography

The writing, page structure and design of this site belong to Tiling Murrumbeena and may not be copied, rewritten or republished elsewhere without permission. A short quotation with a link back is fine; lifting a page is not.

Photographs across the site are used editorially, to show a stage of work or a type of finish under discussion — a screed being floated, adhesive combed out, a completed shower. Unless a caption says otherwise, an image illustrates the subject of the page rather than documenting a specific job. Images are licensed for use on this site and are not available for reuse from it.

05/06

Links that lead somewhere else

Where a page links to a manufacturer, a supplier or another external source, the link is there for convenience. Those sites are not under our control, their content can change, and including a link is not an endorsement of what you find there. If you follow one, the terms and privacy practices of that site apply, not these.

CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

These terms may be updated as the site grows or as the way it is used changes. The current version is always the one published on this page, and continuing to use the site means those terms apply.

The site is operated from Victoria, Australia.

06/06

Liability, and the rights nothing here removes

The site is provided as it is. Content is written and reviewed with care, but no undertaking is given that every page is complete or current, that products and methods described remain suitable for every situation, or that the site will always be available without interruption.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from reliance on general information published here, from work carried out by anyone else on the basis of it, or from the unavailability of the site. Advice specific to your property comes from an assessment of that property, and it is that advice — together with any written quote — that governs a job.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE TERMS

If a clause here is unclear, ask before you rely on it

Send the question through the contact form and it will be answered in plain terms. For how enquiry details are stored and used, see the Privacy Policy. Ready to describe an actual job instead? Request a quote.
