Upon placing the order, the customer fully accepts the
following terms and conditions of sale.
Any general conditions of the purchaser will not apply to
future contractual relations between the parties unless
expressly accepted in writing by Aquaviva Srl.
CONTRACT
The purchaser placing the order fully accepts the
application of these general terms to the contract for sale.
Seller reserves the right to accept or refuse it. Offers made
by agents, representatives or auxiliaries of the seller do not
bind him until they are confirmed by the seller itself.
PRICES
The prices specified in the current price list do not include
VAT. Seller may modify the price list annually with prior
notice.
SURRENDER OF THE GOODS
List prices are intended ex works, unless otherwise agreed.
Transport and insurance are therefore at the charge of the
purchaser, this also when it is decided that the delivery or
part of it will be taken care of by seller, in which case the
latter will act as the purchaser’s agent, it being understood
that the transport will be carried out at the expense and
risk of the purchaser. The risks relative to the supply
pass to the purchaser, at the latest at the time in which
the products leave the seller’s plant. It’s the purchaser in
charge of making claims to carrier within 2 days after the
receipt of the goods, if even the carrier has been chosen by
the seller.
DELIVERY TERMS
The delivery terms are intended approximate in favour of
the seller. Any liability of the seller is excluded for damage
deriving from anticipated, delayed or non-delivery, total
or partial. The time of the delivery performance shall be
extended in case of Force Majeure events accordingly to
their duration. In any case the purchaser is not entitled to
claim damage or compensation.
GUARANTEE
The seller guarantees the compliance of the products
supplied; by the term compliance of the products it is
meant that they correspond in quality, quantity and type
to what was agreed in the contract and that they are
without defects that could render them unfit for the use to
which they are intended to be put. The guarantee against
defects is limited only to products defect due to defects in
planning, materials or construction that can be attributed
to the seller, and does not apply in the case where the
purchaser is unable to prove a correct preservation of
the product and where he has modified them without
the agreement of the seller. The seller is not liable for
defects in product compliance due to the normal wear
of those parts which, by nature, are subject to rapid and
continuous wear and tear. The guarantee is for a limited
period of 2 years and does not cover damages caused by
water containing foreign bodies both new and old systems
installations.
CLAIMS
The purchaser is required to control the compliance of
the products and the absence of flow upon receipt of the
goods. Claims relevant to non-conformities of the goods
must be made, on pain of forfeiture, within and not later
than eight days from the goods arrival at their place of
destination and made by registered letter, addressed to
the seller, describing in detail the flaws or disputed non-
compliances along with some pictures clearly showing the
fault. After acceptance of the seller, the purchaser returns
for checking the products at his own charge and risk. In
case of found faults or manufacturing defects, the seller
will only supply ex-factory to the purchaser products of
the same kind and quantity as those that proved not in
compliance. As alternative the seller may at his discretion
issue to the purchaser a credit note for the value of the
defective products. It’s excluded any refund for direct
or indirect damages caused by installation of defective
materials.
PAYMENTS
The payment and every other sum due to the seller are
understood as net at the registered office of the seller. Any
delay or irregularity in the payment gives the seller the right
to suspend the supply or to cancel the contract in course,
even if they are not relevant to the payments in question,
as well as the right to compensation for eventual damages.
The seller has also the right, starting from the payment
deadline, to interests for delay as per art. 5 of Italian
Legislative Decree no.231 of 9 October 2002. The delays
of payment likewise give to the seller the right to exclusion
from guarantee for the whole period that the delay may
persist. Eventual claims do not give to the purchaser the
right to delay or do not effect the payments.
RETENTION OF TITLE
The delivered products remain the seller’s property until the
complete payment is effected.
APPLICABLE LOW AND COMPETENT LAW-COURT
All contrasts ruled by this general conditions are submitted
to Italian law. For any controversy relative to or connected
to the contractual products to which these general
conditions apply, the seller’s Law Court has the exclusive
competence; the seller, however, has the opportunity to
decide to act also in the purchaser’s Law Court.
Aquaviva Srl reserves the right to modify the
characteristics of the products without prior notice, the
pictures and the details included in the current catalogue
are indicative.
