I am a Carpet Smart “Customer” and by signing the Sales Order, I acknowledge I have received, reviewed, and accept the Terms & Conditions, and Customer Installation Preparation Guidelines as set forth in this Contract. I understand this is a Contract for flooring services and flooring products between myself and Floorwise, Inc. DBA: Carpet Smart of 710 S. 17th Street, Wilmington, NC 28401. I agree to these terms and conditions and, by signing the Carpet Smart Sales Order is verification I accept these terms and conditions.

2.) SCHEDULING: Carpet Smart will schedule The Customer’s installation date only after the purchased product has arrived into our warehouse, or arrangements made for pre-installation delivery, in certain circumstances.

Carpet Smart will make every effort to contact The Customer to inform them of the add or change when it results in additional charges. It is understood, the installation will complete with the required changes even if The Customer was unable to be reached, to complete the installation, and The Customer will be responsible for the associated charges for additional product, material or installation work. The Customer shall sign an Add/Change Work Order.
