Terms of Credit: Terms of credit (up to N30) are issued and revoked at our discretion. Customers requesting terms of credit can find the credit application form by clicking on the link on our home page or may contact a salesperson to apply. The credit application process generally requires 2-3 days to complete and any orders shipped prior to approval will require payment in advance via CIA or credit card.

Once terms are approved, payment is required within (30) days of the invoice date or it will be considered past due. Past due invoices will accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month. Accounts with invoices more than (60) days old will be placed on credit hold and may be turned over for collections. Customer is responsible for any reasonable collection charges incurred in the collection of LTOWorld’s invoice. Customers on credit hold will be required to bring their account current prior to the release of equipment.

International Customers / International Shipments: All invoices are in US dollars, and are to be paid in US dollars. LTOWorld will ship “blind” orders outside the US given the customer has sole responsibility to provide all shipping documents, including commercial invoices.

All international shipments must include a contact name/phone number for the ship to location. Any stated delivery times are provided as an estimate and are without guarantee. LTOWorld will not be responsible for delivery delays and late delivery is not a valid reason for RMA request. Phone: 614-433-0011 Fax: 614-431-8171 info@LTOWorld.com

 

Duties and taxes for any international shipment are the sole responsibility of the customer and/or their designated agent and will not be paid by LTOWorld. This includes replacements sent on previously shipped orders.

Invoicing Problems or Discrepancies: Invoice inquiries or disputes must be reported to LTOWorld Accounts Receivable department in writing within (30) days of the original invoice date. Invoices over (30) days are considered due in full and are not open for dispute or adjustment.

Sales Tax: All orders shipped within Ohio, California or picked up by the customer at our Columbus location, are subject to Ohio State Sales tax, including equipment rentals and shipping charges. Taxes are due in full until such time as the customer has provided us with a valid Ohio/California Resale Certificate or Certificate of Exemption acceptable to the Ohio/California State Controller’s Office. Contact your salesperson for certificate details. Customers requesting a sales tax credit must provide proper certificate and request credit in writing within (30) days of original invoice date or invoice will remain due in full. NO EXCEPTIONS.
No sales tax collected on orders shipped outside state of Ohio and California. The customer may be responsible for state and local sales taxes - please check with your CPA.

Shipping Requirements: Some products, due to their size are required to be shipped on pallet(s) via heavy-weight common carrier. Customers requesting an RMA on items originally shipped with special packaging requirements are responsible to ensure that items are in the same condition in which they originally received. These must be returned to LTOWorld in the original packaging, with use of pallet(s) if original shipment utilized such. Failure to ensure that all items are properly packaged and transported will void all warranties.

Special Delivery Requirements: While LTOWorld can quote some shipping charges in advance, these are only estimated charges, and may be revised following shipment. Customers are required to notify LTOWorld in advance, prior to shipment, if the delivery address requires any of the following:

  • Liftgate Service (No receiving dock available)
  • Residential Delivery (Non-Commercial location)
  • Inside Delivery (Inside delivery to any location other than receiving area)
  • Limited Access (Delivery to some Schools, Churches and Military Bases)

These are all special services available at an additional fee through our freight carriers. Any additional charges billed to LTOWorld for the special services listed above, or address corrections, multiple attempted deliveries, rejected shipments...etc. will be billed back to the customer at their expense.

Cancellations: A “cancelled order” is defined as an order that has not yet been shipped in our accounting system or physically left our shipping dock. Cancelled orders for “in-stock” items are subject to a 15% cancellation fee. No cancellations allowed on custom configuration or special order items. Once a hard copy Purchase Order or written purchase agreement has been received for a custom configuration or special order, that order is final and non-cancelable.

Shipping Damage / Shipping Shortages / Freight Claims: Please examine equipment IMMEDIATELY upon receipt. It is the customer’s responsibility to properly inspect and count all shipments for damage or shortages prior to signing the airbill or bill of lading from the delivery carrier. If damage or shortage is present, the customer MUST notify the driver and clearly note the damage or shortage on the airbill or bill of lading prior to signing for the shipment. Failure to properly note damage or shortage at the timeof delivery will result in a void of warranty, inability to file a freight claim, and no RMA will be issued. Once damage or shortage is noted the customer must contact their salesperson for instructions within (24) hours of equipment receipt. In the event of shipping damage, it is recommended that digital photos be taken if possible for use in the claims process. It is the responsibility of the customer to file a freight claim with the carrier. Do not repackage or return damaged equipment until instructed by your sales representative, as an inspection by the carrier may be required. If the customer requires a replacement shipment, they will be invoiced in full for the second shipment. When LTOWorld receives the freight claim payment from the carrier, we will apply that payment to the original invoice for the amount received less any applicable fees. In the event of a shortage please retain all packaging and contact your sales representative immediately.
