1) The order is given on the particular conditions described therein and on the general conditions stated herein, which are understood to be accepted by the supplier. Any changes to the conditions themselves, even if set forth on the supplier’s order confirmation, will not be recognized as valid unless expressly accepted by us in writing. The drawings and delivery requirements called out on the order, form an integral part of the order. If they are not attached to the order or are not already in its possession for the performance of other supplies, it is the supplier’s obligation to request them promptly.

2) Prices, unless otherwise stated in the order, are to be understood as fixed and invariable, per net weight, for goods of good commercial quality, free from obvious and hidden defects, entirely suitable for the use for which they are intended, rendered free of all expenses at the indicated place of destination including packing.

3) Any products, drawings, prints and samples supplied to the supplier for the execution of the order shall remain our exclusive property and must be returned in good condition when the supply is completed. Failure to do so will result in the supplier being charged the relevant repair or replacement costs. It is our power to check their existence and status at any time. In ‘assuming the order, the supplier undertakes to limit the set-up or construction of the parts to be made to our design or with the use of our models to the quantity ordered and not to transfer them to third parties for any reason whatsoever, even in small quantities, regardless of whether or not they bear our name, brand, or other distinctive marks.

4) Delivery terms are for goods returned to the destination prescribed by us and shall be scrupulously maintained. Verifying the impossibility or delay in the execution of the supply, it is the supplier’s obligation to give us timely notice of the fact and reasons. Unjustified delays, not due to force majeure events, will give us the right to proceed to the total or partial cancellation of the order, without compensation from the supplier for expenses incurred. Indeed, it will be our right to order material not delivered on time from another supplier, with us having recourse against the former for increased costs resulting from differences in price or conditions. Delay on our part in the delivery to the supplier of drawings or other essential items essential for the commencement or continuation of the supply may justify similar delay on the part of the supplier.

5) Each delivery of materials shall be accompanied by a copy of the Transportation Document containing the marks, numbers, gross and net weights of the packages, quantity of the pieces, means of shipment, number and date of the order, and whether the shipment is on account or balance of the order. No outbound dwell charges, packing, shipping fees or other reasons for expenses that have not been expressly authorized by us will be recognized. Goods purchased ex-works shall be shipped by the most convenient means and route. The weight recognized is the weight we detect at the place of destination.

6) Delivery of materials shall be limited to the quantity ordered, subject to agreed tolerances. We assume no responsibility for materials sent in error, or without our order, or exceeding the quantity ordered. Such goods will be returned freight collect and, if necessary, with recoupment of any expenses unduly charged to us. All material is received upon delivery subject to further inspection for quality and quantity. If upon arrival, subsequently, or even during processing it is found that the goods delivered do not meet the conditions of the order or the samples remitted to us, they shall be rejected and held at the disposal of the supplier, who shall arrange for their prompt collection at his own expense. After the eight-day period has elapsed, it will be within our power to arrange for the return of the goods, freight collect and with recoupment of any expenses incurred and damages recoverable. Replacement, unless otherwise arranged by us, shall be made under the conditions set forth in the order and within the shortest possible time, which shall be communicated to us for acceptance.

7) Invoices should be sent promptly to the address specifically indicated in the order and in the required number of copies. They should refer to a single delivery or shipment and contain references to the number and date of our order. The value of any rejected goods, together with damages and repeatable expenses, shall be credited to us immediately by separate document. Settlement of invoices will be subject to receipt of the credit document.

8) For the purpose of payment due date, the invoice arrival date will be considered valid. If the invoice refers to goods shipped or delivered in advance, beyond the limits of customary tolerances on delivery terms prescribed in the order, the due date for payments will be calculated from the date of the prescribed delivery term. Payments will be made on the terms we prescribed in the order.

9)This contract is governed by Italian law and for any dispute the exclusive jurisdiction of the Judicial Authority of Rome (Italy) is established, even in case of connection with disputes submitted to another Judicial Authority.
