1) The sale of products (goods) matter of the order proposal (commission) is submitted to the following general sales conditions.
2) The products buy-sell contract is concluded with the
acceptance from the Company’s side (Cosmogas Srl) of the proposal made by the
Buyer (Contractor) on the basis of the present general conditions.
3) The
buy-sell proposal made by the Buyer included in the commission must be
considered as irrevocable for 4 (four) months starting from the date of
formulation of the proposal. The Buyer also agrees that after this period the
proposal is still valid even if not expressly revoked. Therefore, within the
above mentioned term of 4 (four) months, the Company will be able to accept the
present proposal in writing, and/or by the execution of the order with the
delivery, even partial, of the products to the Buyer or to the forwarding
agent/carrier: the Buyer is engaged since now to accept, within the same term,
also partial deliveries of the products. The partial acceptance or the partial
delivery, within the term permitted to the Company according to the contract, or
anyway – after the expiry of this term, before receiving any news concerning the
Buyer’s explicit revocation, will allow the Company to confirm in writing the
proposal not yet accepted or executed, or execute it with the shipment of
remaining goods. It’s understood between the Parties that the execution or
partial acceptance of the order by the Company does not involve the total
acceptance of the order proposal.
4) All eventual changes to the order
proposal made by the Buyer before the expiry of the term for the aforementioned
acceptance and, anyway, before the Company executes, even partially, what
required with the order, will have to be agreed by both Parties.
5) The
buy-sell transaction is intended to be concluded ex works and thus the freight
charges and all risks coming out from the products freight are at the expense of
the Buyer, starting from the delivery of goods to the forwarding agent/carrier
in charge. The obligation to deliver the sold products is accomplished by the
Company with the delivery of the products to the forwarding agent/carrier, that
could be chosen by the Company or by the Buyer. If the sale is ex works, the
Buyer assumes all costs for the shipment and all risks coming out from it. All
claims for goods loss or damages during the shipment and for any discordance
with the quantities and qualities marked on the documents necessary for the
shipment, should be addressed from the Buyer to the forwarding agent/carrier at
the delivery, in compliance with the terms and delays agreed in the signed
contract, and sent in writing, also by fax, to the Company and to the related
Agent.
6) The delivery terms included in the order proposal cannot be
considered either compulsory or fundamental for the Buyer if not explicitly
stated. Therefore all deliveries delay, of any nature and origin, could not give
the Buyer the right to raise any demand of compensation or contract revocation.
The Buyer could recede from the contract , with no compensation demand and with
the eventual restitution of all payments on account, if the delivery doesn’t
occur within 60 days from the date required for the delivery and for a cause
imputable to the Company.
7) The goods prices are those resulting from the
Company price list applicable at the moment of the subscription of the order
proposal, with the application of the agreed discounts.
8) All payments will
have to be done fully respecting the terms specified in the order proposal
accepted by the Company, with the exception of all changes in the payments
eventually fixed in writing between the Parties and resulting from the order
acknowledgement. No claim of any nature concerning vices, faults and quality of
the goods, even if admitted as valid by the Company, could raise any shortage,
delay or suspension of payments, as any compensation on global or residual
payments has to be excluded. Compensations and/or indemnities that will be
recognised by the Company to the Buyer will be matter of a separate agreement
and of independent compensations.
9) In case of delayed payments in
comparison with all fixed due dates, the interests on overdue payments will be
applied in compliance with the Legislative Decree 231/02, provided that the
Company reserves the right to suspend all deliveries being executed and/or to
revoke by full right ,simply in writing, all the order proposals previously
accepted, added to the damages compensation for this default. With reference to
the above- mentioned matters, in case of a worsening of the Buyer’s financial
situation that could involve all future payments, according to the
unquestionable opinion of the Company, as for the protest of a bill of exchange
or for payment delays, the Company will have the right to ask the Buyer for
C.O.D payment or equivalent warranties in order to proceed with deliveries. If
the Buyer does not accept, the Company will cancel by full right, simply in
writing, the corresponding contract, except for the right of the Company to get
a compensation for not delivered goods.
10) If the Buyer does not accept the
products to be delivered or in any case of revocation by the Buyer after the
fulfilment of the buy-sell contract or during the fixed time term for the
irrevocability of the proposal, he will have to pay an irreducible penalty
corresponding to 50% of the order itself, and thus the Company will keep all
eventual payments received on account for the order till the achievement of such
amount, except in any case for the further damages compensation till the
achievement of such amount.
11) The products (goods) could be delivered to
the Buyer as an exhibition stock: in this case the products will always be
property of Cosmogas Srl (the Company) , that has the right to demand their
restitution at any time. The Buyer who receives these goods has to keep them
with due diligence and professionalism and he must return them at his own
expense and responsibility, if not differently stated, within 20 days from the
restitution request sent by the Company. In case of non-restitution of the goods
according to the above-mentioned terms, the Company will issue an invoice headed
to the Buyer with the applicable price list and discounts recognised for the
sales of similar products. For what concerns all goods delivered for stock
consignation, the Parties will rule their collaboration according to the
specific fixed agreements. All sample goods are delivered free of charge and
only for advertising purpose in order to develop and boost all sales. In case of
cessation of any commercial relationship between the Parties, the Buyer has to
return immediately all the remaining products, against the simple request sent
in writing by the Company.
12) All information provided by the Company
about each product included in catalogues and price lists must be considered as
merely indicative. The quantity and quality of products will be those of the
Company’s order acknowledgement. Each product will have its manual of
instructions and its warranty and it must be sold and delivered with them to the
final user with no third party interference.
13) The Company declares to the
Buyer and to the final user that its products use guaranteed materials and
components, that they have been produced in compliance with any technical rule
and directive in force and it also grants the products with the full respect of
the instructions provided with the manuals, with the content and the limits
offered to the final user by the warranty conditions of each product.
14) The
Buyer states as its domicile for all mail reception from the Company, the one
marked on the order for the goods invoicing, except for any different
specification sent in writing to the Company.
15) The Buyer declares to have
been duly informed in compliance with Art.13 of Legislative Decree 196/03 (about
personal data protection) and allows Cosmogas Srl to use all data given for any
fiscal, commercial and administrative clearances. The Buyer has also been
informed about the execution of its rights according to Art.7 of the
above-mentioned Legislative Decree.
16) The order proposal hereby is
submitted to the Italian law. Any dispute arising between the Parties with
reference to interpretation, execution and resolution of the dispute itself will
be of exclusive competence of the Italian jurisdiction. The competent Court is
exclusively that of Forlì
