Return Policy and Claims

Return Policy

DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE.
Unless specified otherwise on a Dealer’s PO or as a result of an occurrence beyond Corp Design’s control, all orders are shipped within seventy-two (72) hours. All shipments are FOB point of shipment, otherwise referred to as FOB Origin, unless specified otherwise on a Dealer’s PO and/or agreed to in writing by Corp Design at its sole discretion. Risk of loss is assumed by Dealer upon the earlier of: (i) delivery to Dealer or (ii) delivery by Corp Design to a carrier for delivery/shipping. If FOB Origin, then the subject Carrier will thereafter be deemed as acting for Dealer and the shipment will be at the sole risk of the Dealer. As such, any damage(s) or missing part(s) to the Product(s) or Good(s) that occur during shipping will become Dealer’s full responsibility. Damaged or incomplete items will not be covered under any warranty and are non-refundable. Delivery dates provided or quoted by Corp Design are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Corp Design reserves the right to extend a quoted delivery date for a reasonable time in its sole discretion. There shall be added to the time within which Corp Design shall perform any obligation in connection with the shipping and/or delivery of Product(s) or Good(s) when a delay in such performance is directly or indirectly caused by, or in any manner arises from, any of the events, acts, omission, occurrences, incidents, dealings, situations, manifestations, circumstances or any other cause or causes covered under the Force Majeure clause in Section 8 of these Terms and Conditions, whether or not similar in nature to any of those specified therein, that are beyond the reasonable control of Corp Design. Whether or not a premium charge for a delivery date is quoted, Corp Design shall in no event be liable for special, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from failure to meet delivery schedules. Dealer shall not refuse to take delivery of Products or Goods on accounts of damages and/or delays in receipt of such Products or Goods if the delay was a result of circumstances outside of Corp Design’s control, including, but not limited to, the circumstances listed herein, or if Corp Design has made reasonable efforts to dispatch such Product(s) or Good(s) through regular channels. The delivery of the Product(s) or Good(s) by Corp Design to Dealer, as set forth herein, shall constitute the acceptance of such Product(s) or Good(s) by Dealer unless a written notice or other written communication by Dealer of any defect or nonconformity for is received by Corp Design in writing within ten (10) days of Dealer’s receipt of, or access to, such Products or Goods, whichever earlier. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any use of the Product(s) or Good(s) by Dealer, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees, or customers, for any purpose, after receipt thereof, shall constitute immediate acceptance. In addition, by accepting the Product(s) or Good(s), Dealer accepts full responsibility for the condition of the Products or Goods. Notwithstanding the risk of loss in the Product(s) or Good(s) passing to Dealer in accordance with this Section, legal and equitable title in the Products shall not pass to the Dealer, and shall remain vested in Corp Design, until Corp Design has received in full, in cleared funds, all sums due to it with respect to the Product(s) or Good(s), and all other sums which are, or which become due, to Corp Design from Dealer on any account, order, and/or invoice. Thus, until title to the Product(s) or Good(s) passes to Dealer, (i) Corp Design shall have authority to retake, sell or otherwise deal with and/or dispose of all or any part of the Product(s) or Good(s); (ii) Corp Design and its agents and employees shall be entitled, at any time, and without the need to give notice to Dealer, to enter upon any property where the Product(s) or Good(s), or any part thereof, are stored, or upon which Corp Design reasonably believes them to be kept; (iii) Dealer shall store or mark the Product(s) or Good(s) in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Corp Design indicating that title to the Product(s) or Good(s) remains vested in Corp Design; and (iv) Dealer shall insure the Product(s) or Good(s) to their full replacement value and arrange for Corp Design to be noted on the policy of insurance as the loss payee. Irrespective of whether title to the Product(s) or Good(s) remains vested in Corp Design, risk of loss in the Product(s) or Good(s) shall nevertheless pass to Dealer upon delivery, which in all orders, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, and at the sole discretion of Corp Design, is FOB Origin.
A. Will Call Orders.
This sub-section applies only for any orders that Dealer has indicated will be picked up at one of the three Corp Design’s warehouses (“Will Call Order”). Any Will Call Order(s) that Dealer has been notified are ready for pickup must be picked up within seven (7) days, unless notified otherwise. Due to Corp Design’s operating system, orders that have been picked by Corp Design’s warehouse and are ready for pickup cannot be modified or cancelled without a Return Merchandise Authorization (“RMA”).
FORCE MAJEURE.
Corp Design shall not be liable to Dealer for damages and shall be excused from performance, if, and to the extent, Corp Design shall wholly, or partially, fail in, be delayed in or prevented from, performing or carrying out its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, accepting or processing an order for Product(s) or Good(s), shipping or delivering Product(s) or Good(s), or otherwise performing any other obligation in connection with production, sale, delivery or tendering of any Product or Good to Dealer, when such failure, delay, or prevention is directly or indirectly caused by, or in any manner arises out of, or from, any act, omission, cause or circumstance by, or in consequence of (i) any act of God; (ii) civil or military disturbances (iii) nuclear and/or natural catastrophes; (iv) act of the public enemy; (v) act of war and/or terrorism; (vi) invasion; (vii) sabotage, insurrection, riot, or other civil unrest; (viii) fire, tornado, earthquake, hurricane, volcano eruption, explosion, storm, flood, ice/snow or other natural disaster; (ix) severe weather and/or transportation conditions; (x) national or local emergency; (xi) epidemic and/or pandemic; (xii) lockdown(s) and quarantine(s); (xiii) strike or other labor disturbances; (xiv) operational disruption caused by law or regulation; (xv) shortages or unavailability of labor, fuel, material, supplies, containers or docks; (xvi) lack of, unavailability of, or inadequate transportation facilities; (xvii) lack of, unavailability of, or inadequate storage facilities; (xviii) navigation or transportation accidents and/or breakdown or damage of vessels or other conveyances of air, land or sea; (xix) interruption of, delays in, or other impediments or hindrances to navigation or transportation; (xx) delays in production and delivery of Product(s) or Good(s) by supplier and/or manufacturer; (xxi) delays or failure in procuring any export or import licenses or other documents or authorizations deemed necessary or desirable by Corp Design; (xxii) orders, regulations, restrictions or embargoes imposed by any governmental, military or lawfully established civil authority in either its sovereign or contractual capacity; and (xxiii) any other cause or causes whether or not similar in nature to any of those hereinbefore specified that are beyond the reasonable control of Corp Design (collectively a “Force Majeure Event”). A Force Majeure event does not include an act of negligence or intentional wrongdoing by Dealer. Corp Design shall notify Dealer of the Force Majeure Event soon as reasonably practicable by giving written notice to Dealer stating the nature of the Force Majeure Event, its anticipated duration, and any reasonably and commercially practical efforts or actions taken by Corp Design to mitigate any such failure, delay or prevention of its obligations caused by the Force Majeure Event. In the event the Force Majeure Event continues for a period of more than 15 (days) or if, in Corp Design’s sole discretion, Corp Design deems the full performance of its obligations to Dealer impossible, frustrated, or not reasonably and/or commercially practical under the then-current circumstances, Corp Design shall notify Dealer of such and the Parties shall, in good faith, seek to modify the relevant order(s) in an effort to accommodate the circumstances caused by the Force Majeure Event.
