Testing Policy
Testing of raw materials should be an integral part of ceramic
manufacturing. Upon receipt of any new material, we strongly recommend
that you test the material. SHEFFIELD POTTERY, INC. has no control over
either the variations that may occur in the natural materials or their
application. Therefore, our products are sold with the understanding
that the user is solely responsible for determining suitability for any
purpose and the results obtained. There are no warranties expressed or
implied, regarding the user’s finished product or results.
Disclaimer
Our clays are guaranteed to be delivered to you at their
intended formula and water content within the range of accuracy of our
equipment.
Note that:
-The materials used to produce your clay are mined by
companies that do not necessarily recommend their products to be used by potters
and they do not guarantee the purity of them. Therefore we can not be
responsible for any variations or contaminants that are beyond our control.
Using our Dry Materials refining system will greatly improve the dependability
of these clays for a minimal extra cost.
-Since there are so many variables on the user end, you
must test the clay to be sure that it works for your application given your own
techniques and environment. We can only guarantee that the clay body is what you
ordered, but we cannot guaranty that it will work for your needs. Sheffield
Pottery is never responsible for any failed final product.

- If you find that the clay arrives from us and it is not to
your recipe, we will happily remake the batch and cover the shipping at our
expense.
- If you order custom clay and your recipe turns out not to
be suitable for your application or environment, we are not responsible.
- If you use the clay without testing it, the final product
is your own responsibility. All batches must be tested by the customer upon
receipt of a new batch of clay prior to production.
- Sheffield Pottery will not be held responsible for any
losses of product by our customers under any circumstance.
- We will be responsible for the cost of the clay purchased
when the clay is not what you ordered.
