Stone is a product of nature. It is not possible to guarantee that all the colors and markings on a large stone deposit will be present in every small sample, nor that every characteristic of a sample will be uniformly present in other samples. A sample serves only as to indicate in a general way; the color, marking, and texture usually found in a variety of species of stone. No two installations will ever be identical because of the stone's characteristics and unique appearance. We assume no responsibility to any faulty installation of our products. We extend no guarantees, expressed or implied as to slipperiness, wear-resistance or maintenance procedures
