Nodi Carpet Terms and Conditions 

Warranty: NODI's warranty period against premature failure from manufacturing defects is 5 years for carpet from date of installation and 12 months for our handmade rugs. Within this warranty agreement, NODI has the right to reject a warranty claim if the carpet was used in an inappropriate area against the guidance of the NODI team. Correct laying methods and adhesives must have been used, NODI works with a high end skilled installer who is quoted to install all NODI carpets. If a seperate installer to NODI's recommended partner is used this will void any warranty agreement as NODI cannot determine correct installation and join plan for natural handmade products has been carried out.

NODI will asses and repair or replace any carpet if it is defective during the 5 years from the date of install provided the carpet was used for normal household purposes and maintained in accordance with the care instructions. Any improper or negligent use or neglect will void this warranty.

Installation 

The customer needs to be aware that minor paint damage particularly to skirting / architraves and perhaps lower wall painting surfaces may occur during the installation of carpet or rugs. Floor coverings by its nature are bulky, difficult to manoeuvre and generally have coarse backing all of which may cause minor paint damage. Whereas our carpet installer will exercise all care in this regard, we cannot accept any liability for any such damage. It is particularly important that any newly painted surfaces have the paint manufacturers recommended cure time before being subjected to wear or carpet installation. Newly painted surfaces are particularly prone to damage. We recommend that you keep a small amount of paint available so that your painter may touch up any scratch marks etc. 

Site Access: We require appropriate ease of access, to note - extra charges will be incurred if the above conditions are not met.

Product: At Nodi Rugs our focus is on hand made, woven floor coverings, being a handmade product, they therefore contain irregularities in weave and colour, some variation in colour and size will occur, the below variations can occur - these are not considered flaws but part of the nature of a hand-crafted product: 

• Each carpet roll and rug is hand dyed at the time of production and variance between samples and products will occur, although we take every measure to ensure accurate colour matching, a slight variation may occur from dye lot to dye lot.  

• As our products are handmade it is impossible to achieve an exact size and can vary between +/- 5%, this is considered normal and acceptable. 

• Carpet rolls have a -/+ 10% variance, to account for this we recommend adding 10% to allow for any variances 

• Natural carpets will fade in the sun, please beware of this when you are placing your rug in a room. We suggest applying MicroSeal to decrease the fading.

• Any shedding with Felted Wool and Jute is to be expected, being a natural fibre, the rug will shed in the initial stages of its life, this is a characteristic of the fibre and will settle over time and is not considered a fault but a characteristic of the fibre. 

• Pilling can occur due to traffic, moving furniture, vacuuming or other mechanical agitation. This can be trimmed with scissors. 

• Pop ups: due to the type of weaving, there will be short fibres popping up while the rug settles. This can be trimmed or pushed through. 

• Responsibility for cleaning and maintenance lies with those performing this work since the manner and conditions of carpet cleaning or maintenance, and the cleaning materials used are beyond the control of the supplier or manufacturer.  

PERMANENT PILE REVERSAL (commonly known as shading)
The phenomenon of permanent pile reversal may develop in cut pile carpets. In these instances, areas of carpet appear to become lighter or darker than the surrounding area. This occurrence in cut pile carpets is random and largely unexplained. It cannot be predicted or prevented, and it appears to be related to location or material used. This condition is not a manufacturing fault, and its existence has no effect on carpet performance. However, as the development of this phenomenon can affect the appearance of the carpet, you need to be aware of this when considering carpet purchase.
