No course of dealing or course of performance, either prior to, during or after the delivery of the Products, shall be relevant or admissible by Customer to supplement, explain or vary these Terms and Conditions.

Purchase order submission
Purchase Orders (POs) should be submitted via e-mail to orders@esiergo. com. POs should include “Ship To” and “Bill To” information along with complete ESI product model numbers and Customer cost. Government orders require a copy of the agency PO at the time the order is placed with ESI. All POs shall be subject to written acceptance by an authorized representative of ESI. Incomplete POs or changes will delay processing and shipment until receipt of all necessary information and ESI’s issuance of revised Sales Order Acknowledgment.
Order changes or cancellations

Under no circumstances will changes or cancellations be accepted on any special order, custom product, or worksurface order without the express written consent of ESI. All such custom and special orders are non‑returnable.
Taxes
ESI is not responsible for the collection of sales tax on products sold to dealers. Dealers must provide Federal Taxpayer ID (Form W-9) and State Resale Certificate to establish an account with ESI. Dealers are responsible for any sales or use taxes assessed if dealer requests that ESI drop-ship direct to dealer’s customer.

Shipping
48 hour shipping program
ESI offers 48 hour shipping on the majority of products. Unless otherwise requested, these products are shipped from multiple shipping points throughout the U.S., within two business days of receiving the PO, depending on quantity ordered and available inventory. Orders that include products with longer lead times including special orders, custom products, or worksurface orders, are designated as “LT” (lead time) and therefore not included in the 48 hour ship program. Large orders may also require additional lead time. Products designated as LT could take up to 90 days ARO for delivery. Call for on‑hand availability.
Please note:
1. For the order to qualify for 48 hour shipping, all products on the PO must be available under the 48 hour shipping program.
2. POs that include LT designated products will be shipped based on the lead time of the LT designated products unless otherwise requested.
3. 48 hour orders will be shipped out within two business days unless otherwise specified on the PO.
4. Worksurfaces, Motific, Centro, and Railway may arrive on a date different than the other items on the order.

Damage/shortage claims
ESI packages products to reduce the risk of damage during shipment. ESI verifies order quantity and weight with the carrier before any shipments are made. When receiving an order, first confirm the quantity of cartons delivered with carrier’s quantity and inspect cartons for signs of damage. The customer must notify carrier of damages or shortages at the time of delivery, or claims will not be accepted. Do not sign for the shipment until it is verified. Signing a freight bill without any notation relieves the carrier of any responsibility and serves as your acknowledgment to ESI that shipment was received in full. Discrepancies or concealed damage found upon opening the shipment must be reported to ESI in writing within five business days of delivery or Customer waives right to submit a claim. Damaged products must not be removed from point of delivery and must remain in original packaging for inspection by the carrier. ESI is not responsible for damage or discrepancies occurring after delivery. ESI reserves the right to request a return of damaged or defective products.
Returns
Contact our Customer Service Department by e-mail at customerservice@esiergo.com or phone 800.833.3746 to request a Return Authorization (RA) form. Please have the original PO number or ESI order number available. Request for product returns must be made to ESI within 60 days of the date shipped. Products, along with a copy of the RA, must be received at ESI’s warehouse within 30 days of the date of the RA issuance to be eligible for credit.
