Welcome to Texasbestflooringcompany.com, a professional flooring company website, brought to you by Texas Best Flooring Company, Inc. and its affiliates. Please read this Visitor Agreement; by using this website, you accept its terms and conditions.
This Visitor Agreement applies to all areas of this website and its outbound/inbound links pertaining to Texas Best Flooring Company, Inc. The website referred to collectively in this Visitor Agreement is “Texas Best Flooring Company’s Site.” Additional terms and conditions may apply to some services offered on this site. Such terms and conditions may be found at the place where the relevant service is offered. For example, some policies governing purchases through this site can be found under the privacy policy section.
The Web is an evolving medium; we may change the terms of this Visitor Agreement from time to time. By continuing to use Texas Best Flooring Company’s site after we post any such changes, you accept this Visitor Agreement, as modified. We may change, restrict access to, suspend or discontinue this site and or products and services, or any portion of this site, at any time. Texas Best Flooring Company, Inc. respects the privacy of our users. Please take a few minutes to review our Privacy policy.
If you disagree with any material you find on this site, we recommend that you respond by noting your disagreement in an email to our main email address under contact us on this website. We also invite you to bring to our attention any material you believe to be factually inaccurate by contacting our representatives at 1-214-780-1883 or by emailing us.
The material that appears on this site is for informational and professional purposes only. Despite our efforts to provide useful and accurate information, errors may appear from time to time either as a result of inaccurate information provided by manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, blogs, writers, or a product update type in error as we are updating this site with hundreds of new products daily. Before you act on information you’ve found on the site, you should confirm any facts that are important to your decision. Texas Best Flooring Company, Inc. and its information providers make no warranty as to the reliability, accuracy, timeliness, usefulness or completeness of the information on the Texas Best Flooring Company Site. Texas Best Flooring Company, Inc. is not responsible for, and cannot guarantee the performance of, goods and services provided by our suppliers, manufactures, distributors, advertisers, and or others to whose sites we link or are listed on our site. A link to another website, or listed company here within this site, does not constitute an endorsement of that site or company (nor of any product, service or other material offered on that site or this site) by Texas Best Flooring Company or its licensors.
For example: Texas Best Flooring Company, Inc. sold All American Hardwood Flooring Inc. wood and laminate flooring for some time. They are a distributor out of California with their own imported products. We had many customers who ordered their product and Texas Best Flooring Company had a difficult time getting the product delivered. Later we found that All American Hardwood Inc. had filed for Bankruptcy and mislead everyone as to why they could not deliver material that Texas Best Flooring Company’s customers had paid for in advance. In the end, all our customers either received a different product or their money back. However, for a period of many months we received false information and thus not knowingly relayed this to the customers as we were misled as well. In this economic recession period many companies are going out of business and we at Texas Best Flooring Company do our best to weed these companies out of our website. However hard we try, we can’t always be 100% sure of another company’s financial standing. So before a visitor decides on a product and a company we ask you to check that company out and its products yourself. When a company files for bankruptcy it is harder to get a manufacturer’s product warranty. All products bought from this site come with a factory warranty. Texas Best Flooring Company Inc. does not warranty any products it sells or is on this site. The warranties come from each maker of each product separately, and we do not make any products sold or represented on this site. For all product warranty claims, the user of this site must contact the maker of the product they purchase from this site.
All data and product information is either provided by or taken from product literature and or websites of the companies whose products are listed. None of the product information listed on this website is a result of Texas Best Flooring Company’s testing or research efforts. To be 100% sure of any product information or data provided please contact that manufacture, supplier, or distributor listed on this site and have them provide you with this information directly before making any purchases.
