Delivery Policy, Terms & Conditions
Prior to placing your order, you must read and agree to these delivery terms and conditions.
It is your obligation to provide the correct delivery address details at time of ordering. If you provide the wrong address, we are not obliged to re-send the order to the correct address at our expense.
We will provide you with an estimated delivery time window for all orders and while we make every effort to deliver your product within the window, all times specified are estimates only. Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee time of delivery.
It is the responsibility of the customer to inform Rock Hammer Earthmoving if an order does not arrive. Once we learn an order has not arrived by the expected time, we will make efforts to ensure delivery occurs as soon as possible. We will not be held liable for any loss or damage resulting from late delivery.
Replacement product will be dispatched according to our discretion.
Without limiting the operation of any other Terms and Conditions herein, you agree that late delivery does not constitute a failure of our agreement, and does not entitle you to cancellation of an order.
Without limiting the operation of any other Terms and Conditions herein, we will not accept liability for any loss or damage arising from items lost, stolen or damaged after delivery has taken place, or during the time of delivery.
The Customer must be present at the delivery site and must sign the Rock Hammer Earthmoving delivery docket to acknowledge that the products and quantities described on the delivery docket have been delivered and comply with the Customer’s order.
It is the Customer’s responsibility to sign for delivered material. If at the time of delivery no one is in attendance, materials will be deposited and the Customer will remain responsible for the goods.
Where the Customer does not sign or is not available to sign the delivery docket, the signature of the driver on the delivery docket shall be prima facie evidence of delivery to the Customer of the products and quantities described on the delivery docket.
While our representative will exercise due care in delivering the material, Rock Hammer Earthmoving will not be held responsible for any property damage which may occur during the delivery operation or items that will prohibit material from being delivered.
