CLAY PRODUCTS and CHIMINEAS
Clay products may vary in sizes and shape due to the fact they are hand made and no two are alike. Colors will vary. If color is an issue you may request a picture of the actual product we will ship you. If no such request is made we will assume our color selection is acceptable and we will not accept any recourse because of color. So please, if color is an issue we will gladly send you an email of the EXACT product you will receive.
We offer no warranty, expressed or implied on any clay product. We do insure all clay products for a safe delivery but any damages MUST BE REPORTED BEFORE SIGNING ANY DELIVERY PAPER WORK. Once you sign a delivery document you are stating that the product was delivered in good condition and you accept this condition. If for some reason you discover that the clay product is damaged after delivery you may file a damage claim with the freight company but at this point it's between you and the freight company and there is no re-coarse against Dancing Fire Inc. SO PLEASE INSPECT THE PRODUCT BEFORE SIGNING ANY DELIVERY PAPERS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL817.613.0029 BEFORE ORDERING.
Chimineas are clay products that get cured in heated kilns. During this process sometimes the clay will crack. This is called a " Fired Crack". This is normal and it happens on almost all clay products that are kiln dried especially in larger clay pots such as chimineas. Most of the time you will never see these cracks because they get filled and painted over. Some thimes you will see these cracks on the inside of the belly of the chiminea. This in no way hinders the life of the chiminea. A fire crack is completely different then a crack thats cause by dropping the clay pot. These fire cracks are no reason for a return. If this is an issues please call before ordering. If you order the clay pots you are acknowledging your acceptance of this as no reason for a return.
FIRE PIT SAFETY SCREENS
Our screens are custom made for your fire pit. Sorry but we can not do returns on fire pit screens or any other custom made product. Our screens are made to help prevent hot embers from flying but we do not guarantee that an hot ember may not fly out and be potentially dangerous. Furthermore a fire pit that has a fire burning in it should never be left un-attended. Dancing Fire Inc. assumes no liability from any related damages caused by a wood burning fire. Furthermore Dancing Fire Inc. assumes no damages from injuries from a hot fire or a hot safety screen. When you put the screen over a fire it will get hot and it will burn and cause injuries so please do not touch the screen on a fire. We offer special tools to use just for opening the doors or removing the screen. Or use good gloves.
If your screen arrives and it has dents and dipples this is normal as our screens are hand made. We do not consider this defective as it's normal. We try to be perfect but the screens are hand made. We do not take returns on firepit screens because the screen arrived with a dimpled or dent in the screen. These dimples are normal but if u think its excessive we may, at our discretion only Replace the screen. These screens are made to be outdoors year around. Because they are subjected to heat from fires and the outdoor elements we make the screens loose fitting so they can with stand the wear. The frame maybe a little mis aligned if the surface isn't flat. This is normal.
Custom Made Products. If we make something that is to your specs we work in plus or minus an 1" unless otherwised discussed with Jim. We can work in very tight tolerances if need be just call Jim. We are not responsible if your measurments are wrong. If we make it to your specs and it doesn't work or fit we are not responsible. We will work with you to get it right as best as we can. One Piece screens are hand formed and have the possibilty of being bubbely. This is no big deal and with heat from the fire should fix its self. If this not acceptable please don't order. The screens will take on their own shape as it's heated and cooled. This is normal. Stainless steel changes when it gets hot. If you want a screen made with tighter tolerances then call Jim 817.946.6463 for a quote. We do not warrany the paint. We use some of the best high heat paint made (1400 degree).
WRONG ADDRESSES
The customer is responsible for any additional cost with re-delivery if the wrong address is entered for a ship to address.
REFUSED DELIVERIES
If Dancing Fire Inc. send a product, package to a request delivery address by the customer and the package is refused this will be treated as a return and all associated costs are subtracted from the final refund. Example: If a customer buys a gift for a friend and the friend refuses delivery because they didn't know where it came from and the freight company returns it to Dancing Fire Inc. the customer is still responsible for ALL COSTS including any re-stocking fees. This is real important on large packages so please let your recipients know something is coming and inspect before signing.
Damaged Freight:
If the packages are delivered via Fedex or UPS ground call us when you notice any damages and we'll reship a new product and take care of all claims. If the product comes on a pallet via common LTL carrier such as all clay chiminea deliveries. Inspect the product before signing any paper work. Upon inspection, if you notice damages then refuse the freight and call us and we'll reship you a new product. This is very important. Once you sign the paper work you are saying that you received the product in good shape and there are no damages. In the unfortunate event that a product is delivered and you do sign for it without inspecting the product first - then according to the freight companies policies all damage claims must be filed by the consignee (the receiving customer) If you have any questions please call 817-613-0029. It's best that you completely understand this before ordering and freight being delivered via Common LTL carriers. If you arrange for your freight company to pick up any product from our warehouse will not accept liability for any damages. This would be between you and whom ever picked up the freight from our warehouse. This includes any freight forwarding companies as well.
