The monthly price per unit/user/seat will remain the same for all [36] months but total monthly value may change if the customer decides to increase the seat count at any point in the [12, 24 or 36] month term. A manual PO may be needed before the initial order can be placed (Manufacturer terms and conditions dependent). The contract will continue to invoice against original PO unless updated POs are provided 3 business days before the last working day of the month predated for the following month (i.e. September PO will need to be submitted prior to Sept. 1st for dates Sept 1-Sept 30th).

If damaged products are accepted from the carrier, such damage should be noted on the carrier delivery record. Customer should save the product and the original box/packaging and notify WPG Consulting, LLC to arrange for a carrier inspection and a pickup of damaged products. Please notify your account executive of any damaged shipping containers within the first two (2) days of receipt. Two (2) days is considered a reasonable period of time to conduct the visual inspection of the shipping container, and failure to provide such notice will constitute acceptance in full. Customer also shall notify WPG Consulting, LLC of any order shortages or any concealed damages within seven (7) business days.

Product Returns

Approvals for unused, unopened returns are subject to manufacturer return policies and guidelines and WPG Consulting, LLC’ ability to return product to its vendors. Such products must be complete and in manufacturer’s original packaging, with no visible damage. WPG Consulting, LLC will not be required to accept any return of sold products without an approved return merchandise authorization (“RMA”) number, which may be obtained by contacting the customer’s account executive. A RMA is valid for ten (10) days from the WPG Consulting, LLC issuance date, unless other arrangements are made between the parties at the time of WPG Consulting, LLC’ RMA approval.

At WPG Consulting, LLC’s discretion, restocking fees may be charged for items which do not qualify for return under this policy. Some manufacturers require that defective or Dead on Arrival (DOA) products be returned directly to them, or they may limit the timeframe in which products can be returned; therefore, products that are inoperable at initial use may be eligible for DOA return to or replacement by the manufacturer, subject to the manufacturer’s product defective/DOA return policies. If the product is not returnable under manufacturer guidelines, WPG Consulting, LLC will make every attempt to repair or replace the product through the manufacturer’s warranty. Customer should contact its WPG Consulting, LLC account executive for further details on the manufacturer warranties. WPG Consulting, LLC technicians test products returned as DOA or defective. Products found not to be defective may be subject to return at the customer’s expense. In any event, WPG Consulting, LLC will work with its vendors to facilitate returns for the customer.
