Terms & Conditions
THE FOLLOWING TERMS & CONDITIONS APPLY TO ALL HUMANSCALE PRODUCTS OTHER THAN HUMANSCALE HEALTHCARE PRODUCTS.
THE TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR HUMANSCALE HEALTHCARE PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED HERE.
TERMS OF PAYMENT
Upon approved credit, terms of payment are net 30 from date of shipment. Deposits may be required for large or custom orders. The processing of orders and/or shipment of orders placed may be delayed if the deposit is not received with the order or if customer’s account is in “Past Due” status.
CREDIT POLICY
All customers of Humanscale must complete a credit application, with current information, which must be signed by an owner or officer. 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).
PURCHASE ORDERS
Purchase orders must include the following: “Bill To” and “Ship To” information—Company Name (Ship To company may be end user or installation company), Address, Telephone, Fax, Contact Person; End User Company Name; Requested Ship Date; Purchase Order Number; Special Delivery, Shipping and Packing Instructions (if applicable); Proper Discount Off Current List Price, Product Quantities and Full Model Numbers; and Total (List/ Net).
ORDER CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS
All changes to or cancellations of orders placed with Humanscale must be in writing and sent to Customer Service. Orders may be changed or cancelled without penalty if Humanscale is notified at least two (2) weeks before the scheduled ship date for standard orders (under 250 units), or at least three (3) weeks before the scheduled ship date for large orders (250 units or more). 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.
SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
All Humanscale orders are acknowledged with a promise date (scheduled ship date) based on the product with the longest lead time. Large orders may increase standard lead times. Standard shipping charges will be billed to customer. Custom platform orders require 4 to 6 weeks.
Seating orders, unless otherwise specified, will ship 4 to 6 weeks from the date of order. Unless otherwise contractually specified, Diffrient World, Freedom and Liberty chairs will ship with the base and frame disassembled. Chairs can be easily assembled in seconds without use of tools. Blanketwrapped shipping is available for full truckloads of 200 or more Diffrient World, Freedom or Liberty Task and Conference chairs. Consult your Humanscale representative for blanket-wrapped shipping requirement for Cinto and the Liberty Side chair.
Ship Sets:
All products ordered on a single purchase order will be delivered together in a single ship set. To break a ship set, customers must indicate “Ship as Available” on the purchase order. Upon request, customer accounts may be defaulted to ship all orders on an as-available basis.
Shipping Instructions:
Humanscale will attempt to accommodate basic shipping instructions, such as “call ahead” or “deliver before 12:00 p.m.,” if clearly identified on the purchase order as “Shipping Instructions.”
Packing Instructions:
Humanscale will attempt to accommodate basic packing instructions for internal delivery of specific items on an order, such as “Deliver to Joe Smith” or “Deliver to cube #218,” if clearly identified on the purchase order as “Packing Instructions.”
DELIVERY SHORTAGES
Product shortages must be noted at the time of delivery and reported to the carrier for correction. Claims against Humanscale for shortages, errors, etc., must be made in writing and within three (3) days of the date of delivery or customer waives its right to make such a claim.
FREIGHT CLAIMS
Humanscale will file all F.O.B. destination claims. In order to receive credit, customer agrees to cooperate and assist in the procedures set out by the carrier and Humanscale.
EXTERNAL DAMAGE
If the shipping container shows any external damage, customer is instructed to refuse the product at time of delivery. If it is a multiple piece shipment, customer may refuse only the damaged items. Humanscale will not issue full credit for returned product unless customer takes the following action steps:
1. Note damage on the delivery receipt at time of delivery.
2. Refuse product at time of delivery.
3. Contact Humanscale Customer Service within 24 hours of the attempted delivery and advise them of the damage.
4. Enter a chargeable replacement order; credit will be issued after the disposition of damaged product is determined.

3. Call your Humanscale Customer Service agent to provide order and product information.
4. Get a copy of the inspection report from carrier.
5. Enter a chargeable replacement order; credit will be issued after the disposition of damaged product is determined.
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 & 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.
