WORKING WITH ADVANCE
Standard Terms and Conditions (Resale Projects)
Capacity Ratings: Unless otherwise noted, all products provided are rated based on Advance standard load tables for installations at sites with no seismic activity. If requested, Advance will certify load capacity for specific installation locations to comply with RMI specifications. This certification will be provided in writing with the job approval package and is valid only for the identified project. Stamped calculations can be provided at an additional cost.
Customer Provided Specifications: Advance will certify capacity for customer specified systems if Advance is provided with stamped calculations from an Advance approved structural engineer/firm, otherwise all products provided are rated based on Advance standard load tables for installations at sites with no seismic activity.
Pricing: Prices are valid for 30 days and subject to published steel surcharges in place 3 weeks before shipment. Changes to quantity or job size may affect unit prices, both up or down. To provide the most accurate pricing, unit prices are calculated uniquely for each job.
Steel Surcharge: Advance prices are based on current steel surcharge levels noted in your quotation. Final pricing may be changed based on steel surcharges in effect 3 weeks prior to the agreed to shipment date.
Engineering Approval: Within a few days of receipt of your order, Advance will provide a final Order Acknowledgement and approval drawing package. Advance will produce the final product to exactly match what is shown in the approval package.
Order Approval and Delivery Time: A final lead time will be assigned upon receipt of signed Order Acknowledgement and drawings plus completion of credit arrangements. Delays to order approval or credit may result in delivery delays. Advance will not produce material without written approval.
Build to Order: Once Advance is released for production, the project may be produced at any time. Any changes to the order after release may result in additional costs. Since all products are built for the order, we can rarely accept a returned product. Advance will do our best to minimize costs for all change orders.
Intermembering with Other Systems: From time to time, Advance will produce product that intermembers with systems produced by other manufacturers. Advance will evaluate the existing system to ensure that any modifications meet current RMI guidelines and building code. Advance will review site conditions and system design capacity, but cannot be responsible for any issues due to other manufacturer’s product failures, manufacturing errors, improper installation, rack damage, unsupervised repair, failure to notify Advance of job site conditions or other conditions beyond Advance’s control.
Color Selection: Material finish will be painted per Advance standard colors unless noted/requested otherwise. Changes in colors after receipt of order may incur additional costs.
Hardware: Advance’s direct/commercial quotes will include all hardware and anchors for the rack system/parts system being quoted. Dealer/distributor quotes will include all hardware; anchors will be excluded.
Sales Tax: Sales tax will be included with all invoices, unless a valid tax-exempt or resellers certificate has been received by Advance. The certificates must be valid for the state that the product is shipped to.
Installation: Installation is not included unless otherwise noted.
Freight: Advance provides freight estimates as a courtesy to our distributors. Advance prefers the distributor handle their own freight arrangements and payments. If Advance is requested to bill the freight charges, a 15% handling charge will be added to the freight bill. Advance ships the majority of our projects on flat bed trucks. Closed van shipment is available for a nominal added packaging charge. The quantity of trucks is an estimate and can vary depending on shipping sequence and schedule.
Warranty: Advance Standard Warranty applies unless otherwise noted.
Environmental Conditions: Advance’s painted rack systems are designed for dry, interior applications (ambient, cooler or freezer). Advance painted systems are not designed for exterior, wet or wash down applications. Galvanized material finishes can be requested for these aforementioned applications at an additional cost and lead time. Pushback freezer applications must use bolted pallet stops on the beams.

Advance will notify distributors prior to issuing the notice. Please contact your sales representative if you have any questions.
