Terms of Sale

Please read the following important terms and conditions before you buy anything on our Website, and check that they contain everything that you want and nothing that you are not willing to agree to.

The following Store Terms of Sale ("Store Terms") are in addition to the Terms of Use and are subject to and expressly incorporated therein and govern all transactions made via the Website, the Herman Miller Store Website at store.hermanmiller.co.uk (the "Herman Miller Store" or “Website”). By accessing, using or registering on the Herman Miller Store, you agree to be bound by these Herman Miller Store Terms. By signing in, registering to use, or making a purchase via the Herman Miller Store, you affirmatively accept these Herman Miller Store Terms. Capitalised terms not defined herein are defined in the Terms of Use.

For the purpose of these Store Terms, wherever the context so requires “you“, “your“ or “user” shall mean any natural or legal person who has agreed to buy our products by placing an order on our Website. The terms “we”, “us”, “our” or “Herman Miller” shall mean Herman Miller Limited, a company registered under the laws of England and having its registered office at 1 Portal Mill, Melksham, SN12 6GN, England. These Store Terms apply to the orders placed within the UK.

Security

The Herman Miller Store protects the security of your transmitted information by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL 128-bit Encryption) certificates. The certificates encrypt all information that is gathered. We do not reveal the credit card number during order confirmation. The computer servers that store user data are protected by firewalls. In order to protect against unauthorised access to your account, it is recommended that you close the browser when you have finished using the Website.

Order Security

Orders can be placed through the Herman Miller Store via the Shopify Plus payment gateway. If placing orders through the Herman Miller Store, you will use a secure order form, which requires you to provide contact, billing and credit card information. This information is transmitted to your credit card company to authorise the purchase. We require your phone number to protect us and you from possible fraud. These security measures are intended to prevent anyone from stealing and using your credit or debit card information. Although security is in place, we cannot guarantee the safety of your payment information online. Consumer protection laws protect you against the unauthorised use of your credit card or debit card. In the event of unauthorised use of your credit or debit card, you must notify your credit or debit card provider in accordance with their reporting rules. In the event we discover a security breach, we will notify you of the situation via email or written letter within five business days.

Colour Display

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that are shown. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any colour will be completely accurate. To order material samples, please contact the Customer Service team by emailing customercareeurope@hermanmiller.com.

Unless otherwise stated, discount codes cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discounts, including sale and clearance items. Unless otherwise stated, delivery charges are excluded from offers and discount codes. We are unable to apply discount codes retrospectively to an order once the sale has been made. In the case of part-refunds, a percentage of the item’s value will be calculated and refunded as per the total order value.

In the event that a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to a typographical error, we have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for products listed with the incorrect information or price. We have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit/debit card has been charged. If your credit/debit card account has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, we shall immediately issue a credit to your account for the amount of the charge.

Orders, Contract, Payments, Delivery, Cancellations

Orders, Contract

You are able to select products on the Website and add them to your basket. You may place an order for those products by selecting the Pay Now button at the end of the check-out process, which includes a series of simple instructions in order to complete the check-out process. Upon completion, we will send an order confirmation to your registered email detailing the products ordered. Once your product has shipped from our warehouse, we will send you an order acknowledgement email. Order acceptance and completion of the contract between you and Herman Miller will take place upon the dispatch of the products ordered unless you have cancelled such order in accordance with these Store Terms, or we have notified you that your order has not been accepted by us. Orders may be rejected because: (a) the product you ordered is no longer available or is temporarily out of stock, provided that instead of cancelling your order, we may notify you of a delay in delivery; (b) we are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment; (c) we have identified a pricing or product description error; (d) you do not meet the eligibility criteria in order to place an order as set forth in the terms, including these Herman Miller Store Terms.

Authorisation

By making an offer to buy a product, you expressly authorise us to transmit information (including any updated information) or to obtain information about you from third parties from time to time, including but not limited to your credit or debit card number or credit reports, to authenticate your identity, to validate your credit or debit card, to obtain an initial credit or debit card authorisation, and to authorise individual purchase transactions.

Product Availability

Some of our furniture is built to order, and these products will have a lead time, which is the time necessary to build the product and deliver it to you once you've placed an order. Availability of these products is subject to change without notice. We will notify you of any corrections or changes and ask for your approval before we complete your order. Other products shown on the Herman Miller Store are only available while supplies last, and we cannot guarantee that any product displayed in the Herman Miller Store is available at the time it is displayed. Order Processing

Order fulfilment takes place from Monday to Friday. Legal holidays and company closures may affect your order processing and shipment dates. We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We will make every effort to notify you in the event of an order refusal.

Payments

A valid form of payment and pre-authorisation of funds is required prior to acceptance of an order. We accept only Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card and American Express credit and debit cards at the Herman Miller Store, which may be subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. Funds will be charged to this method of payment upon order confirmation. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to or does not, for any reason, authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery of the product.
