Strictly Necessary Technologies
These technologies are used to operate essential website functions, maintain security, remember privacy selections, prevent fraud, and process forms.

These technologies support website features such as maps, videos, chat tools, forms, and other interactive content.
Where required by applicable law, nonessential analytics and advertising technologies will be activated only after the visitor provides the required consent.

These variations are inherent characteristics of natural materials and do not necessarily constitute defects.

Engineered materials may also vary by batch, manufacturer, lighting conditions, and product availability.
Customers should review and approve actual materials according to the applicable sales or project process.
24. No Guarantee of Availability
Products, colors, slabs, brands, samples, promotions, and services displayed on the website may change or become unavailable without notice.
Displaying a product or service does not guarantee inventory, eligibility, service-area availability, or acceptance of a project.

Content is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may view and print limited website content for personal, noncommercial use. No other license or right is granted without prior written authorization.
Third-party names, marks, and content remain the property of their respective owners.
27. User Submissions
By submitting text, images, project details, reviews, measurements, plans, or other content, you represent that:
● You have the right to provide it
● It is accurate to the best of your knowledge
● Its use for the requested purpose will not violate another party’s rights

We may modify, suspend, remove, or discontinue website functions at any time without liability.
29. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and website content are provided “as is” and “as available.”
Granite Depot disclaims warranties concerning:
● Website accuracy or completeness
● Continuous or error-free operation
● Results obtained from website use
● Availability of products or services
● Compatibility with a particular device or browser

Nothing in this section disclaims warranties that cannot legally be excluded or warranties expressly provided in a signed customer agreement.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Granite Depot and its owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable expenses arising from:
● Your unlawful misuse of the website

● Your infringement of another party’s rights
32. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Unless applicable law requires otherwise, disputes relating solely to website use will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Georgetown County, South Carolina.
This provision does not modify the dispute-resolution terms of any separate signed customer agreement.
33. Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Use is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
The invalid provision will be interpreted or modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable where permitted.
34. No Waiver
Failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce that provision later.
35. Entire Website Agreement
This Privacy Policy and Terms of Use constitutes the agreement concerning access to and use of the website.
It does not replace any separate estimate, sales agreement, installation agreement, warranty, financing document, or other written contract.
