1. Acceptance of order - By paying your deposit, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the terms and conditions. By contracting our products and services via either text, phone or email, even in circumstances where a deposit has not been made, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the terms and conditions stipulated in this contract. As all of our products are custom manufactured to order the acceptance of our quotation is defined as an order to commence cutting of raw materials for production. Once this has commenced cancellation of this order cannot be accepted by Ocean Blue Glass.
2. Delivery and Installation - Ocean Blue Glass will at all times endeavour to supply, deliver and install all products ordered for specified dates but cannot be held responsible by material shortages supplied by others. Failure to meet installation deadlines cannot be constituted as a breach of contract and will not enable the cancellation of this order. At times our installers will need to leave glass and materials on-site in order to avoid double-handling; if any materials are damaged or destroyed it will be at cost to the owner and may cause a significant delay in the completion of the project. Our team will always ensure the product is left in a safe location and will give clear instruction not to touch it.
3. Workmanship - Ocean Blue Glass will at all times carry out the installation of your order in a tradesman-like manner; however, we cannot be held responsible for any damage accidentally caused by the installer. The customer should ensure that all movable items be removed from shelves, floor, vanities etc. and that access to the site is unblocked and safe for passage. A clear passageway must be made for our installers (eg. cover carpet with a drop-sheet) as our installers cannot remove their work boots due to safety reasons. All other items subject to damage should be either cleared or protected to enable our installer clear access so that works can be performed without hindrance. Ocean Blue Glass requires you to notify us of the location of any water pipes prior to installation. It is not the responsibility of Ocean Blue Glass if a water pipe is damaged and the position was not disclosed.
4. Quality of Materials - Ocean Blue Glass only accepts materials from suppliers who meet the highest industry standards. Hence, we cannot accept responsibility for minor imperfections in glass, aluminium, slight colour variations of metal, small scuff marks or scratches not visible from a distance of 3m held in a perpendicular position using daylight without direct sunlight, etc. when all such occurrences are within Australian Standards.
5. Rubbish - All rubbish is to be removed by clients unless otherwise specified. Any paid removal of existing products will be disposed of by Ocean Blue Glass.
6. Removal of existing products - Ocean Blue Glass will use all reasonable endeavors to ensure no damage is done when removing existing products. However, due to the fact that Ocean Blue Glass is unaware of the condition of the existing products, the structure they are fitted to, or how the existing products were originally installed and manufactured, Ocean Blue Glass cannot be liable for damage caused by the removal of the existing product. Existing fixture holes from previous products will be covered where possible but due to the wide array of different shower screen sizes it is not our responsibility to cover these holes.
7. Variations - Any alteration from the accepted order involving extra materials or labour costs will only be undertaken upon an agreed variation and may incur additional charges.

Cleaning/Maintaining your new Shower Screen Mirror or Splashback
Regular care and maintenance will ensure a lifetime of good looks and exceptional performance
An Ocean Blue Glass showerscreen, mirror or splashback has been designed and tested to provide you with years of exceptional performance. To help keep your your new Ocean Blue Glass purchase in sparkling condition and to maintain your product warranty, here are some important care and maintenance points for you to follow:
Cleaning shower screen glass
To clean, apply a reputable, ammonia-free glass cleaner or methylated spirits to the glass. Wipe in a circular motion with a clean non-abrasive lint-free cloth. Polish the surface with a clean lint-free cloth.
Showerscreen glass should be cleaned weekly at a minimum, to remove soap stains which will etch and mark the glass if left uncleaned. A plastic squeegee is useful in removing water to prevent water stains on glass. Frames and hardware should be cleaned at the same time. Diamond rings should not be worn when cleaning shower screen glass.
Cleaning mirrors
To clean apply a reputable ammonia-free mirror glass cleaner or methylated spirits to a clean lint-free cloth, and wipe in a circular motion. Polish with a clean non-abrasive, lint-free cloth.
Moisture, water and liquid cleaners should be kept away from the back edge of mirrors. Dry any residue immediately otherwise the warranty may be voided. Adequate ventilation is important.
Cleaning powdercoated & anodised alumiunium frames
Showerscreen frames should be wiped over with a soft damp cloth. Occasional use of a mild detergent and water solution may be necessary to shift stubborn dirt.
Under NO circumstances use solvents or harsh detergents, bleaches, scourers or any other abrasive cleaner.
Frameless shower screen hardware adjustments & maintenance
Check the hinges at six-monthly intervals to make sure that the “hinge to glass clamp” screws are tight and the hinges operate freely. A couple of spots of sewing machine oil is recommended on metal hinges.
Check that there is a minimum clearance of 2.5mm between the vertical edge of the frameless glass door and the fixed glass panel. A helpful reference is to use a 10c coin which is 1.7mm thick or a 20c coin which is 2.3mm thick.
Check that the screws clamping the hinges and the screws clamping the fixing clip to the floor and or the wall are tight.
Where there is less than 2mm clearance it increases the risk of glass to glass contact which may result in glass breakage. For this reason where there is less than 2.0mm clearance, please contact Ocean Blue Glass to arrange for a service call to correct the clearance. If the time has passed from the warranty period, a service charge will be applied.
Slyder Shower Screen and Opto Shower Screen maintenance
The sliding doors are top hung allowing access to the roller clamp/adjustment. However, if the doors are not operating correctly, please contact Ocean Blue Glass to arrange for a service call to correct the issue.
