Default putting down checked linoleum

i ordered grey and white check lino to be placed on the diagonal in a relatively small kitchen.
i came home yesterday, hall door wide open and the lino had been put down without me being there or even knowing it was to be put tdown that day.
it wasnt stuck down as i had thought.
it wasnt on the diagonal
at the edges it was buckled and in several places buckled.
under one cabinet they had cut it short and not up to the boundary wall so i cannot now move that even if wanted to.
in the broom cupboard they left about two feet of lino but couldnt be bothered to remove items to press in the lino.
they later told me that the lino could not be stuck down and the join when placed on the diagonal would be messy.
i knew there may had been a join but this was discussed with the contractor and i had always wanted this.
any ideas or are all my thinking on this completely off.
i am so so distressed this morning.
i have put everything back and giving al this a bit of a think.
the company said if i wasnt happy they would take it up and replace with something else.
but i had liked the lino and still do.
but not the way it has been laid at all at all
