A) ACCEPTANCE AND DELIVERY
Customer must pay the ENTIRE BALANCE before delivery is scheduled. It will be scheduled after the last payment is made. The order will NOT leave the manufacturing site until it is completely paid off.
The customer has the option to be home on the delivery day or not. If they choose to not be, then they must look at the final progress photos sent to them and agree, in writing, that everything in their order is correct. If there is anything wrong, the customer must bring it to our attention before delivery.
If the customer chooses to be home for delivery, we are not responsible for any days of work they choose to miss.
A delivery date/time is only an estimate and may be subject to change, as uncontrollable circumstances may arise. We will use reasonable efforts to deliver to the customer by the estimated delivery date. We ask the customer to be available at home all day or, if they decide to not be home, to have have things prepared all day to ensure a smooth delivery (such as unlocked gates, dogs put away, clean area, etc.)
If the customer is home, we will not unload the order until the customer signs and agrees that all item(s) on the truck is correct and inspected. Please make sure that the items being delivered are correct.
Delivery does not include crane use. Crane service will be at the customer’s expense. We will try to help the customer avoid having to use a crane, however, if it is determined that a crane is needed, we will schedule it according to the project’s needs. (We are not affiliated with any crane companies. We are not responsible for any miscommunication, pricing, measurements, and/or any other business associated with the crane company. If the customer does not want to use the crane company we recommend and the customer’s company of choice is not able to do the job properly, we will charge an $800 fee to return it to our yard and schedule a new delivery. We are NOT responsible for ANY of the crane company’s fees.)
The customer must clear all walkways necessary for delivery. If any of our delivery guys have to move things out of the way for any reason, there will be a fair estimated charge.
If for some reason, the delivery has to be rescheduled, after the guys have loaded and arrived, there will be a 2nd delivery charge added for wasted time and effort (anywhere between $450 – $750, up to our discretion, unless stated otherwise on the contract).
If customer says their backyard is ready for delivery but it’s not, there will be an extra charge (such as things in the walkway, pet feces in the way, etc). This fee will be up to our discretion based on the conditions.
The entire order must be paid in full if a customer will be out of town on day of delivery.
If we do make an exception for a customer to pay their remaining balance on the day of delivery and they end up not being home and unable to pay, the delivery crew will return the islands to our shop and there will be a 2nd delivery charge added for having to come back another day. Daily storage fees of $25 will also commence.

All BBQ Islands & Designs products are built on leveled concrete. We recommend having leveled concrete prior to your delivery date.

We can add a trim to the bottom of the product(s) to help with this issue, BUT it will be at the customer’s expense, depending on the size of the project. We are also not responsible for the house walls being unleveled, creating a possible gap.
In case of a supplier running out of appliances and/or accessories, the customer agrees to wait for the item(s) to be in stock. If its not in stock by time of delivery, they’ll get everything else from their order on time and will receive the late item(s) in the mail for them to install themselves OR we can hold onto their order until everything is available.
-We don’t pick up materials for each project until it comes up on our build schedule. It is possible for a customers tile or stone selection to be out of stock/discontinued by the time their project is due for tiling. If this happens, they must pick a new tile or stone.
We DO NOT hookup ANY utilities, such as water, propane, or electrical lines due to liability.
We do not provide fire glass or the protective clear wind guard.
The customer must decide what size their tv will be for their tv space. If they end up getting a different size and dont tell us before we start the build, the tv may not fit, and will require us to re-build the space, for an extra charge to be determined at that time.
