General T’s & C’s

1. Unless arranged otherwise or have an existing account with us, all orders require a 100% payment prior to work commencing. Any monies/deposits received by MAWANZI CONCEPTS from any customer, will deem the customer accepts all the T&C’s mentioned herein.
2. All Mawanzi Concepts wallpaper is printed in panels, which MUST BE OVERLAPPED when joined together for installation. If you would rather have wallpaper with a butt join, this must be clearly indicated BEFORE you confirm your order.
3. Should a booked installation date be altered by the customer, or an installation be interrupted by the customer or another contractor on site for any reason whatsoever, a 15% surcharge will be applicable.
4. All verbal quotes done by MAWANZI CONCEPTS are based on plain, uninterrupted surfaces/areas & the number of rolls/m2/measurements supplied by the respective client, which will be verified by MAWANZI CONCEPTS on completion of any installation & charged for accordingly.
5. Any excess prep work, cutting, lining paper, pattern matching, overtime etc. will incur surcharges. Installing lining paper does not necessarily guarantee a perfect surface and in such cases, a test area must be done prior to full installation of material taking place. Should the lining paper be insufficient to rectify an uneven surface, skimming the plaster may become necessary and will be charged for. All areas should be free of furniture or any other obstructing items prior to an installation taking place. All fittings on walls/surfaces must be removed prior to any installation, or paper will be cut to fit around such fittings and charged for accordingly and/or additional charges will apply should our staff have to remove/refit such fittings.
6. Any abnormally high or complicated areas (i.e. excessive cut –outs, joins, and difficult areas) are to be advised to MAWANZI CONCEPTS prior to an installation & will be applicable to surcharges. An amount of no more than 5% of any quote/invoice may be retained for snags, regardless of whether material is supplied by MAWANZI CONCEPTS or not.
7. All goods remain the property of MAWANZI CONCEPTS CC until paid for in full. Ownership of items shall only pass on receipt of payment. Imported goods and certain local products ordered require a 90-100% deposit; with the balance being due before installation will take place.
8. Surfaces where installation is to take place must be of sound nature (i.e. smooth surfaces – no rough surfaces; cracks; water damage; heat stress; structural damage/stress; uneven or poor surfaces etc.) prior to an installation commencing. It is the onus of the customer to ensure ALL surfaces are suitable for installation and report or repair any suspected defective surfaces or defects prior to installation. If the customer is unsure if surfaces are suitable, kindly contact us to request a staff member to inspect. Highly absorbent surfaces (dry-walling/ raw plaster / rhyolite, etc.) must be treated with a superior quality, alkali-free plaster primer prior to installation, where possible, a standard inspection of all proposed surfaces will be undertaken by a representative of MAWANZI CONCEPTS and if deemed suitably unfit to install product, the customer will be notified accordingly and such defects are to be repaired prior to work commencing. Any suggested repairs to surfaces will be for the customer’s account and a further inspection will take place, subject to a surcharge. Excessive prepping / filling of uneven surfaces will be charged for according to the amount of preparation necessary. MAWANZI CONCEPTS accepts no liability whatsoever where material has been installed by instruction of the customer on any defective or uneven surface.

We suggest that wallpaper surface to be painted with an oil based enamel as this is the only paint that does not absorb all of the wallpaper paste. Generally, all Rhinolite boards or raw plaster has to have a primer or under coat and at least one layer of paint just to guarantee the product will stay on.

1. Similarly, once installation has been completed, our guarantee is limited to the installation only. Defective material and/or material/product guarantees will be referred to the particular supplier as set out in their respective terms, and will be handled by the customer. Any defective material or workmanship must be reported immediately, in writing, to our company within 7 days of installation – no claims will be entertained after this period. An inspection will be carried out by a representative of MAWANZI CONCEPTS to ascertain the nature of the defect & advise the client accordingly. We accept no liability where cracks; water damage; heat stress; structural damage/stress; uneven and poor surfaces etc. are the cause of such defects.
2. Whilst every precaution will be taken to maintain the prevailing condition of the existing premises, materials supplied to or by us, and/or the proposed working environment, we do not accept any liability whatsoever for any damages caused on site (materials included) and MAWANZI CONCEPTS will not be held liable whatsoever for any replacement material used during the contract period. This also includes water or electrical damage, crumbling concrete/plaster/paint and/or other structural collapse, whether caused directly or indirectly by our staff/suppliers/contractors/sub-contractors, during the course of the duration of the work quoted for.
3. We further accept no liability for any injury sustained to any person outside of our company, who enters the area of the building refurbishment during the course of the work being undertaken. Any unauthorized person entering the area of the building refurbishment does so entirely at their own risk.
4. We cannot be held liable for delays caused on or off site by our suppliers/contractors/sub-contractors, which may cause delivery/service delays, and as such is out of our control, may possibly result in the subsequent delayed completion of the work quoted for.
