Any contracts between Mosani GmbH and its customers arising from the Mosani GmbH offer are conducted on the basis of the following General Terms and Conditions (GTC), unless individual contractual agreements have been made.

2. Sample dispatch
Mosani GmbH offers the possibility to test products on the basis of samples. Please send the request, stating the delivery address, to: info@mosani.de - The samples can also be ordered directly via our online store. Mosaic samples are delivered in the size of approx. 6x10 cm and are excluded from exchange or return.
Important:
Due to the large number of sample shipments and batch-related changes by suppliers, we can never guarantee that the delivered goods correspond to the sample that was sent.
3. Material properties, mosaic tile size, packaging unit
a. The color of the tesserae is never completely uniform and homogeneous. The arrangement of the colors depends on the batch and the firing. Depending on the product and monitor display, the colors may differ greatly from the image you see on the screen. This may be due to the batch, the monitor or the photography. Depending on the batch, natural stone in particular may contain discoloration. Depending on the material, brown streaks, discolorations or spots are part of the natural properties. For example, it is metal components that turn brown. These are particularly visible on white or light-colored natural stone and are part of the process.
b. Each mosaic has different properties in relation to the material it is made of and the light it is exposed to. Only the or one basic color(s) per article are indicated. For example, glass mosaic in white or black can also shimmer purple, green or in another color. Depending on the material, other color reflections may appear in addition to the specified base color, which of course we cannot specify in the offer. This also depends on the personal point of view. One customer sees a purple tint in a white glass, another sees it as green, the next only sees white. Therefore, please always order a sample in advance to check the goods.
c. Possible chipping at corners and edges (so-called edge breakage), fingernail-wide grooves on the surface and irregularities (unevenness) of the individual stones in shape, size and surface are part of the natural properties of the product and do not constitute a defect. Depending on the mosaic stone format, there are between 100 and 1000 mosaic stones on an area of 1 square meter. It is absolutely impossible to deliver every tile free of defects. Each sheet must be checked for defective stones or foreign objects from the front and back before laying. Defective stones are removed from the arch. The arch is laid and a new stone from the offcut is inserted in the free space.
d. Up to 5% breakage, scratches or defective stones per mosaic mat are normal standard and cannot be declared as a defect. If this point is not clear, we recommend that you do not use mosaics at all. This is because even after the material has been laid and grouted, a tile can still crack due to tension or it was simply overlooked during installation. This is not a hidden defect, but a natural characteristic that is part of the mosaic if you want it.
e. Every stone is unique. No two tiles are 100% alike, which has an effect on the joint pattern and the individual distances between the tiles. Any resulting irregularities in the joint pattern are therefore normal and intentional. In the case of transparent mosaics and possible mesh bonding on the back, a possible shimmering through of the mesh cannot be ruled out due to the characteristics of different stones. The use of white grout is not recommended for white mosaics and tiles. In rare cases, optical color deviations may occur that simulate different batches, crooked joints or improper laying. The exact causes of this phenomenon "with white mosaic and tiles" in conjunction with "white grout" are not clearly known; factors such as the type and direction of incident light (natural or artificial) and the viewing angle may contribute. We accept no liability for visual deviations resulting from the use of white grouting material with white mosaic elements.
f. The mat/grout dimension is an "approximate" dimension and varies depending on the batch, the backing and the laying technique. Please note that the gage (the mesh on the back) of the backing relaxes in the mortar during installation and the mat can relax and pull by up to 10% depending on the gage. Some mats actually contract and only relax in the adhesive.
g. Size specifications:
The size specifications on the offer page for tiles, mosaics and mats are always "approximate values". There are tolerances depending on the batch and tool. Depending on the batch, there may be a difference of up to 3% in the size information in relation to the mosaic stone or tile or the mesh size.
