Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale

1. PAYMENT TERMS: Cash before delivery unless otherwise agreed to in writing by LDI

2. FREIGHT: FOB Portsmouth, NH unless otherwise agreed to in writing by LDI

3. RESERVE POLICY: Print patterns are made to order so reserves do not apply. However, solids are kept in inventory and customers may reserve material when an order is expected within 2 weeks. We ask that the reserve number is referenced on the purchase order.

Reserves expire two weeks from the date they are entered. If a customer needs to extend the reserve when it expires we will extend it for 2 additional weeks. However, during the second reserve, we reserve the right to sell the material, unless the customer places an order within 48 hours of being notified that we need the inventory.

4. COMMERCIAL MATCH / COLOR MATCHING: Color varies from one production lot to the next.  With EnviroLeather™ prints there can be slight variation from one roll to the next.  Memo samples and color cards with small swatches are made for specifiers to reference the target color.  There may be a slight shift in this target over time as new memo samples and color cards are created.  We guarantee production lots and each roll will match the then current master within commercially acceptable limitations. If a “commercial match” is not adequate, it is the customer’s responsibility to request a cutting for approval when an order is placed.  Also, it is suggested you request updated memo samples for your library from time to time to ensure the target remains what you think it is.

Important note regarding EnviroLeather™ Prints.  This product is made to order in small batches.  There is no such thing as a cutting for approval.  Again, we guarantee production lots and each roll will match the then current master within commercially acceptable limitations.

5. ROLL WEIGHTS: The maximum weight of 1 roll will not exceed 60 lbs.

6. PIECE SIZE POLICY: Our goal is to ship as few pieces as possible, however available roll sizes vary and we cannot guarantee to ship items as a single piece for orders larger than 13.875 yards.

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.

All other returns must be preauthorized by LDI and are subject to a 25% restocking charge.

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.
