A line of credit may be set by our Credit Department, however the basis for the line of credit may be changed or cancelled at our discretion and advance payment may be required. Any unpaid balance, upon which payments are not made according to the terms governing the sale, will be considered “Past Due” and will increase by a maximum of 2% per month, without forfeit of Humanscale’s right to payment.

Any customer who has failed to pay for goods delivered or services rendered in a timely manner shall be liable for all fees, expenses, disbursements, and charges (including all legal costs) incurred by Humanscale in collecting monies owed, as well as interest (at 24% per annum).

Order changes or cancellations made less than two (2) weeks before the scheduled ship date for standard orders or less than three (3) weeks before the scheduled ship date for large orders will incur a minimum change/ cancellation fee of 10% of net. Irrespective of when notified, changes or cancellations are not binding upon Humanscale until Humanscale issues a written acknowledgment of the change or cancellation. Order changes are defined as the deletion of line items; changes in style, color, quantity or requested ship date; or ship-to address changes. Order changes that result in a quantity reduction may be subject to an additional small order fee or adjustment in pricing. Under no circumstances will changes or cancellations be accepted on any custom fabric, special order or custom product orders.

TAXES

Humanscale list prices do not include sales tax. Customer is responsible to remit all such tax. Humanscale requires a State Resale/Exemption Certification to be on file at its main office. Sales made without said Certificate will be charged the appropriate sales tax.

PRICES

All discounts and list prices are subject to change without notice. Prices are those in effect at the time of order entry. If the requested shipment date is more than 90 days after the order date, Humanscale reserves the right to price said order based on the published list price as of the shipment date.

SMALL ORDER FEE

A 3% small order fee applies to all invoiceable orders of $1,500 net or less, including billable replacement parts, regardless of product category.

STORAGE

If a customer is unable to accept a scheduled product delivery, Humanscale, if notified in writing after product assembly and prior to the scheduled ship date, will store the product at customer’s expense. Humanscale shall invoice customer for the product and monthly Storage Fees.

Storage Fees will be 1% of the net order value per month or actual storage costs—whichever is greater. Storage Fees are calculated with a one-month minimum and will not be pro-rated. If customer is unable to accept a scheduled product upon delivery, customer shall be responsible for placing the product in storage and bears the risk of loss. However, payment of the balance due is per Humanscale‘s Terms of Payment.

RETURN AUTHORIZATIONS and REFUSALS

All returned and non-damaged refused orders are subject to a five percent (5%) restocking fee. Seating and special order returns will not be accepted. Customer must request a Return Authorization through the Humanscale Customer Service Department within 45 days of product receipt to return any product. If Humanscale agrees to restock the product, customer must return it freight prepaid to Humanscale, F.O.B., to the original shipping point or as otherwise instructed by Humanscale Customer Service. If product is returned without a Return Authorization, Humanscale will notify customer of the unauthorized return and customer must provide instructions for its disposition within one week thereafter. Failure of customer to respond within one week will result in Humanscale’s right to dispose of the product with no credit. Return Authorizations expire sixty (60) days after the date of issue. If the returned product is not in resalable condition, customer will not receive credit for the return. Customer must promptly provide a purchase order or other acceptance of fees/credit reduction as required.
