Held Orders/Storage
If the Purchaser requests that an order be held or delayed at any time LCS Workplace Furnishings will make every effort to accommodate the Purchasers request. However, if the request for delay is made after a time when LCS Workplace Furnishings can defer production of an order, or the order is already in transit then the Purchaser will incur all costs associated with the delay. Furthermore, the Purchaser will be invoiced for the product when the order is received at the LCS warehouse. There is a seven (7) working day allowance from the date that LCS receives the product before storage charges are charged against Purchaser's order should the Purchaser delay Delivery and/or Installation for any reason.  The rate charged for storage is based on 1% of the selling price of the product per week or any part of a week (7 days) commencing on a Monday.

All risk of loss or damage of product passes to the Purchaser upon delivery of product(s) into storage beyond 30 days.

Claims
The Purchaser is responsible for the inspection of all product(s) for damage and/or defects upon receipt of product(s). LCS Workplace Furnishings requires the Purchaser to notify us within two (2) business days of any damage, shortages and/or defects which are, or should be, apparent from an inspection of the product(s) and its packaging. Damage to the packaging alone does not necessarily constitute damage to the product. The Purchasers failure to make a claim against the carrier (including noting any apparent damage on the carrier's way bill) or notifying LCS Workplace Furnishings during the two (2) business day period shall constitute acceptance of the product(s) and waiver of any apparent damage, shortages and/or defects. LCS Workplace Furnishings will repair or replace any product damaged in shipment if the Purchaser has notified LCS Workplace Furnishings of the freight damage or shortage within the two (2) business days after receipt and assigns their rights against the carrier to LCS Workplace Furnishings.

Claims of this nature do not conflict with the Purchasers rights under the manufacturer's warranty.
