Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale
PAYMENT TERMS: Cash before delivery unless otherwise agreed to in writing by LDI.
FREIGHT: FOB Rochester, NH, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by LDI.
RESERVE POLICY: Print patterns are made to order; reserves do not apply. However, solids are kept in inventory, and customers may reserve material when an order is expected within two weeks. We ask that the reserve number be referenced on the purchase order.
- Reserves expire two weeks from the date entered. If a customer needs to extend a reserve, we will extend it for two additional weeks. However, during the extension, we reserve the right to sell the material unless the customer orders within 48 hours of being notified that we need the inventory.
COMMERCIAL MATCH / COLOR MATCHING: Color varies from one production lot to the next. With EnviroLeather prints, slight variations may occur from one roll to the next. Memo samples and color cards with small swatches are made for specifiers to reference the target color. This target may shift slightly over time as new memo samples and color cards are created. We guarantee production lots; each roll will match the then-current master within commercially acceptable limitations. If a “commercial match” is not adequate, the customer must request a cutting for approval when placing an order. Additionally, it is recommended that you periodically request updated memo samples for your library to ensure color accuracy.
- Important note regarding EnviroLeatherTM Prints. This product is made to order in small batches. There is no cutting for approval. Again, we guarantee that production lots will match the current master within commercially acceptable limitations.
ROLL WEIGHTS: The maximum weight of 1 roll will not exceed 60 lbs.
PIECE SIZE POLICY: Our goal is to ship as few pieces as possible; however, available roll sizes vary. We cannot guarantee single-piece shipment for orders larger than 13.875 yards.
- The minimum piece size is 7 yards.
- Requests to break an order down into smaller piece sizes can be accommodated but may incur an additional cut charge of $10.00 per extra cut.
DEFECT POLICY:
- Pieces 7 yards or smaller will be free of defects.
- Pieces 7.125 yards to 15 yards may have 1 defect.
- Pieces 15.125 yards to 25 yards may have 2 defects.
- Pieces larger than 25 yards may have no more than 3 defects.
WIDTH VARIATION: All upholstery products are intended to be 54” wide. However, from time to time, we may send a product that is wider or up to 1/2” narrower.
LEAD TIME: Lead times vary by product. Please refer to the order confirmation you receive after placing an order. LDI is not responsible for expedited freight for any items. Typical lead time:
- Stock items (solids) are shipped within one week.
- Printed patterns ship within 3 weeks.
- Special treatments are dependent upon the schedule at the time of order.
- Custom solids take 10 weeks for shipment.
MINIMUM ORDER QUANTITIES: Minimum order quantities vary by product.
Typical minimum order quantity:
- Stock items (solids) are in 1-yard and quarter-yard increments thereafter.
- Print patterns are 5 yards and quarter-yard increments thereafter.
- Special treatments will be identified on a case-by-case basis.
- Custom solids are 300 yards long and have a yield tolerance of ±10 %.
CANCELLATION / ADJUSTMENTS OF ORDER: LDI processes stock orders quickly. We often ship on the same day as the order’s receipt. If the Buyer cancels an order for a stock item after the product has been cut, the Buyer is responsible for accepting the cut material portion of the order.
- Print patterns are printed on demand and thus CANNOT be canceled or returned once manufacturing has begun. In some instances, LDI may permit cancellation, but we reserve the right to pass on any costs incurred as a result.
- Special order items, which are processed upon request, cannot be canceled or returned once the raw materials have been ordered. In some instances, LDI may allow for the cancellation, but we reserve the right to pass along costs incurred as a result.
RETURN POLICY: Returns are intended for products that are out of specification before cutting. Material cut by the customer cannot be returned. LDI will credit or reimburse the customer for the price of uncut products that are agreed to be out of specification. The customer must notify LDI of the type of defect and return a sample illustrating the problem. LDI is not responsible or liable for any other customer costs related to this defect.
- LDI must authorize all other returns, which are subject to a 25% restocking charge. The customer is responsible for the cost of return shipping.
- No returns will be accepted without written authorization. All return requests must be received within 90 days of receipt of goods. Credit will only be given if the return is received within 30 days of authorization being granted.
REQUESTS FOR DELAYED ORDERS:
- The requested ship date is capped at 90 days after receipt of the order. The standard policy related to cancellation/adjustments to orders applies. LDI also reserves the right to charge a restocking fee for any portion of an order with a request to delay shipment that is cancelled after an order acknowledgement is sent.
SHELF LIFE/STORAGE OF MATERIAL: To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that the product be applied to furniture and installed at a facility within 1 year of the customer’s receipt of goods. Material should be stored in a closed bag, and steps should be taken to avoid extreme heat, humidity, and pressure from other rolls during storage. LDI is not responsible for material failures if the product is applied beyond the 1-year period.

FORCE MAJEURE: Acts of God, strikes, civil disorder, government actions, and other unforeseeable, unavoidable occurrences will release LDI from its obligations for the length of the occurrence and to the extent of its effects. This also applies when these occurrences take place at a time when LDI is in default. LDI is obligated to provide this information to the Buyer as soon as reasonably possible under the conditions and to adapt its obligations to the altered circumstances in good faith.
CHANGES: In the event of increases in the cost of raw materials or of other impact items, LDI reserves the right to pass these costs on to the Buyer. If the Buyer requests an engineering change to a product, LDI reserves the right to pass on any associated costs. The Buyer will be responsible for inventory and raw materials purchased for the previous construction and for validating any changes.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS: LDI reserves the right to keep technical, trade secret, patent, and costing information proprietary.
TERMS: Sales to the Buyer under these terms and conditions are conditional upon the Buyer’s acceptance of these terms. These terms are in lieu of any Terms submitted by the Buyer, and the Seller rejects all additional or different terms and conditions of the Buyer. The Buyer’s performance, acceptance of, or payment for any products from the Seller will constitute the Buyer’s acceptance of these Terms. These Terms, together with the associated description of the products, quantities, and pricing terms that are the subject of the purchase and sale transaction under these Terms, constitute an “Order”.
