REACH DIRECTIVE

Application of regulation n° 1907/2006 (REACH directive)

Dear Client,

On the 1st. of June 2007 there entered into force over the whole Eu-

ropean Union the new regulatory system (REACH - REGULATION (EC) N.

1907/2006), for the evaluation, registration and control of the release of

substances and chemicals on to the European market. This requires that

all substances and chemicals produced in or imported into the European

Union, in quantities superior to 1 ton/year must be registered with the

European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). In order to make use of a transition

period during which it will be possible to prepare the registration dossier,

it will be necessary to perform a preliminary registration before 01/12/08.

It should be remembered that, if before this date the pre-registration has

not been performed, the substance in question will not be able to be rele-

ased on to the market until registration has been carried out.

In this regard it is communicated that Novellini S.p.A. holds only the role

of downstream user, neither producing nor importing substances inside

the EU, and therefore does not have to carry out the duties relative to the

registration of such substances.

In order to guarantee you the regular continuity of supply of our products,

with this document we inform you that we are assuring ourselves that

WARRANTY TERMS

ORDERS

The orders are binding for the customer, while they will have the value of a simple

proposal for Novellini. Orders become final only after explicit acceptance.

CANCELLATION OF ORDERS

No order cancellation will be accepted without the prior and explicit authorisa-

tion of Novellini, which reserves the right to charge any consequent costs and

charges, depending on progress in production.

SPECIAL ORDERS

Orders for special products must always be received in writing and must be ac-

companied by an advance payment of at least 25% of the total amount. No re-

turns or cancellations of any kind will be accepted on such orders.

DELIVERY TIMES

Delivery times are purely indicative and shall in no case constitute grounds for

total or partial cancellation of the order, nor for any claim for compensation of

any kind. If the delivery time is essential for the purchaser, it must be specifically

indicated in writing when the order is placed.

PRICES AND PAYMENTS

The sales prices correspond to those shown in the official price list on the date

the order is placed. Novellini reserves the right to change these prices in the

event of sudden increases in production costs and raw materials, even without

prior notice. Existing orders with a delivery schedule beyond 60 days from the

date of entry into force of the new price lists will be subject to the new price

system.

The terms of payment shall be those agreed specifically for each customer. In

the case of new customers, or changes in the conditions themselves, these

conditions must be expressly stated at the time of the order and subsequently

approved by Novellini.

In case of delayed payment, interest will be charged according to law.

All sales made will be subject to retention of title, remaining the exclusive prop-

erty of Novellini until full payment of the same.

our suppliers, if necessary, perform the pre-registration. Should that not

happen we will replace the substances in use with others complying with

the requisites of the binding regulations. However our supply will undergo

no modification downstream of the REACH obligations.

As regards our products it appears that they all come under the definition

of article present in the Regulation (EC) N. 1907/2006 of the European

Parliament and Council of 18th. December 2006. In particular within the

meaning of art. 7 “Registration and notification of the substances con-

tained in articles”, comma 1 letter b), such articles are not subject to

registration as any substances contained in them are not destined for

release in normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use.

Moreover, it is pointed out that, still within the meaning of Regulation

(EC) N. 1907/2006, the above mentioned articles, based on their cha-

racteristics, do not come under the obligations foreseen by art. 33 “Duty

to communicate information on substances present in articles” as the

percentage in weight of the substances held to be dangerous, within the

meaning of the present regulation, is lower than 0,1% of the total weight

of the article.

PACKAGING

The price agreed for Novellini products is inclusive of normal packaging. In case

of special transport needs and consequent packaging, a special price will be

agreed upon according to the additional cost incurred. The iron pallets used

for the transport of Novellini products are considered "returnable" as they are

the property of the seller. In the event of failure to return them, the company

reserves the right to charge the value. These iron pallets are designed for the

exclusive use of the vendor's products. The vendor relieves itself of all responsi-

bility for improper use of this property.

TRANSPORT

Please refer to art. 1510 of the Civil Code.

WARRANTY

The goods are covered by a warranty in accordance with the provisions of the

Italian Civil Code, special laws and European regulations on the subject. This

warranty is extended to 2 years from the date of delivery of the product and

will be taken into consideration only upon written complaint. No warranty shall

be acknowledged if, in the event of a recognisable conformity defect resulting

from the opening of the packaging, the product is nevertheless installed and is

reported only afterwards.

GOODS RETURNS

Any return of Novellini products must always be made after specific authorisa-

tion, to be requested on a case-by-case basis.

LEGAL DISPUTES

the order with Novellini. For any dispute in this regard, the only competent Court

is the Court of Mantua.

ucts as well as to remove them from the catalogue without prior notice. The fit-

tings and colour shades in the photographs are purely indicative.
