General Conditions of Sale
1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1. The following terms and conditions (“General Conditions of Sale”) form an integral part of the contracts finalised between the Seller, Pasolini Luigi S.r.l. (“Seller”), and the Customer (“Buyer”) for the supply of products made by the Seller (“Own manufactured products”), for products manufactured by third parties and sold by the Seller (“Products supplied by third parties”), products manufactured and sold by the Seller to specific work orders and projects (“Special Products”), as well as consultancy services (“Consultancy”) and additional services (“Assembly and Transport”) provided by the seller.
1.2. The General Conditions of Sale are available on line, at www.pasolini.it and apply to all transactions concluded between the Seller and the Buyer without the need for there to be express reference to the same or to a specific agreement to that effect upon the finalisation of each individual transaction. Any different term or condition only applies if confirmed in writing by the Seller.
1.3. The Seller reserves the right to modify, integrate or change the General Conditions of Sale, while promptly attaching these changes to quotations or any other correspondence forwarded in writing to the Buyer.
2. QUOTATIONS, OFFERS AND ORDERS. SALE WITH RETENTION OF OWNERSHIP
2.1. The Seller’s quotations to the public are not to be considered binding, with reference to quantities, prices and delivery terms, until final acceptance is provided by the Buyer. The Seller’s customised quotations are not to be considered binding until final formalisation of the order by the Buyer according to the procedures set out in this article.
2.2. Order means the written proposal sent by e-mail, or the management programs used by the Buyer, to the Seller and accepted by the latter, in writing, in the same manner. The Buyer’s proposal, signed by the Agent and sent to the Seller, is a proposal to purchase (“Pre-order”) and is not binding for the Seller. In fact, purchase proposals made by the Buyer are not to be considered as accepted until they have been confirmed in writing by the Seller.
2.3. Purchase proposals are accepted by the Seller with the Buyer’s order number in accordance with the management system in use.
2.4. Changes to orders already formalised and made verbally or by telephone must be confirmed in writing between the Buyer and the Seller in compliance with the provisions in this article. Otherwise the Seller cannot accept any responsibility for variations or discrepancies that are not the subject of a specific agreement.
2.5. In the case of formalisation of an order with payment by instalments, the Sale is to be considered as finalised with retention of ownership and, therefore, the Buyer acquires ownership of the product solely upon payment of the final instalment. In the event that the contract is terminated due to default by the Buyer, the Seller will have the right to have the product returned and will be required to refund the instalments received, except for the fair compensation for the use of the goods to the extent of 30% of the value of the goods and any additional damage.
