GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE
OF WEART S.R.L. PRODUCTS
VALIDITY AND EFFECTIVENESS
The sale and supply of Weart S.r.l. (“Weart”) products are governed by these general conditions of sale (“GCS”). The acceptance by a purchaser of an offer or the confirmation of an order by Weart, however it is carried out, results in the finalization of a contract between Weart and the purchaser and the automatic application and binding nature of this GCS. It is agreed that, following acceptance by the purchaser of the offer, the relative supply may not be canceled without the prior written consent of Weart. An offer for sale formulated by Weart (“Offer”) shall remain valid for 30 calendar days starting from the date it is sent to the purchaser or other term indicated in the offer, limited to the supply of what is quoted in the same. After the aforementioned deadline, an Offer shall no longer be valid. Any amendment, addition, or derogation to the GCS or any part thereof shall only be valid if it has been expressly accepted in writing by Weart. Therefore, any general conditions of purchase prepared by the purchaser shall not be applicable in the relations between the parties unless expressly accepted in writing by Weart and, in any case, shall not invalidate this GCS, with which it must be coordinated. Weart reserves the right to modify the GCS at any time. Should there be any cases of discrepancies or contradictions between the Italian and English versions, the Italian text shall prevail.
PRICES AND PAYMENTS
Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, the prices indicated in Offers or in the price list are in Euros, excluding VAT, not including packing and transport costs.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, the consideration shall be invoiced as follows:
- 50% at acceptance by the purchaser of the offer;
- 50% upon delivery of the Product/s.
Payment must be made as follows:
- 50% upon receipt of the invoice
- 50% 30 calendar days from the date of the invoice
By bank transfer or other means as indicated in the Offer. Purchaser is not authorized to offset payments against any claims on its part against Weart.
Upon full payment of the first invoice, the order shall be deemed confirmed.
Any delay or irregularity in payments shall give Weart the right to request, starting from the due date set for payment and without formal notice being required, default interest on the sum still due to the extent of the rate set by the laws currently in force in regard to commercial transactions (in particular, Legislative Decree 231/2002, as amended) in any case without prejudice to the right of Weart to request compensation for any greater damage suffered.
Furthermore, in such cases, Weart reserves the right to suspend any supplies in progress, even if they are not related to the payment in question; and/or change the payment and discount methods for subsequent supplies, including requesting advance payment or the issuance of additional guaranties.
Weart reserves the right to adjust the prices if, purely by the way of example, there are changes in the conditions underlying the formation of the price, such as monetary fluctuations or state/administrative taxes, customs duties, additional taxes, which have come into force in the period between the Offer and the agreed
delivery term.
RETENTION OF TITLE
Weart shall retain the full legal title to and ownership of the delivered Products Weart until full payment of the entire agreed consideration is made and therefore, the purchaser shall take all necessary measures to prevent damage to this ownership right of Weart.
DELIVERY
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, the Products shall be delivered ex-works (EXWORKS Incoterms 2020) and therefore, the risks relating to the loss of Products shall be under the responsibility of the purchaser when the Products are delivered to the carrier.
Weart will be available to assess the particular requests of the purchaser regarding the transport and packaging of the Products, it being agreed that the resulting additional costs shall be borne by the purchaser and, in any case, the risk of loss of the Products during transportation shall be under the purchaser’s responsibility.
If for reasons not attributable to Weart, the purchaser or the carrier designated by the same does not take delivery of the Products, Weart, subject to notice to the purchaser, may store them, charging the latter for any additional costs incurred.
Weart shall communicate the production lead time of the Products to the purchaser or indicative delivery dates; these terms shall not be considered essential but shall be indicative and shall be calculated in working days.
Therefore, Weart shall not be held liable for any damage resulting from early or late delivery, whether total or partial, shall be excluded.
PRODUCT CONFORMITY AND WARRANTY
- Weart warrants that the Products (“Warranty”):
shall conform to the technical specifications (“Technical Specifications”) referred to as an Offer - shall be free from defects in design and/or material and/or workmanship directly attributable to Weart and such as to render these defective Products unsuitable in relation to its uses, applications and functions expressly described in the user and warnings manual (“Manual”);
- shall have CE marking provided that purchasers shall remain responsible for checking any discrepancies between the above-mentioned CE regulations and those of the countries the Products are sold to, keeping Weart indemnified in this respect.
It is agreed that the validity of this Warranty shall be subject to full payment for the Products and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, shall have a duration of 12 months starting from the date of delivery of the Products.
It is agreed that the validity of this Warranty shall be subject to full payment for the Products and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, shall have a duration of 12 months starting from the date of delivery of the Products.
The Warranty shall be subject to Products that have been correctly stored and used in accordance with the instructions contained in the Manual and Technical Specifications. Furthermore, it is agreed that this Warranty shall not apply to: i) consumable parts, such as batteries or protective covers, subject to deterioration over time, or aesthetic damage except in the event of defects in materials or workmanship; ii) damage caused by use with third-party components or products that do not comply with the Technical Specifications; iii) accidental damage or damage derived from improper or incorrect use, fire, contact with liquids, earthquake or other external causes; iv) damages derived from the use of the Product contrary to what is indicated in the Manual and/or Technical Specifications; v) damage derived from interventions, repairs, modifications or alterations carried out by personnel not authorized by Weart or by the purchaser not in accordance with the instructions
provided by Weart; vi) defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal obsolescence of
the Product. The purchaser is obliged to verify the conformity of the Products and the absence of defects within 10 calendar days from the date of delivery and, in any case, before any use of the same. The notice of any non-conformity or defects must be made: i) for any visible defects, no later than 10 calendar days from the date of delivery of the Products; and ii) for any hidden and/ or functioning defects – that is, those detectable only after first use – within and not later than 10 calendar days from the discovery of the defect and, in any case, within and not beyond the warranty period.
Complaints must be notified by the purchaser in writing to Weart indicating the details of detected defects or non-conformities. It is agreed that the Warranty shall become null and void if the purchase does not allow Weart to carry out the necessary checks to ascertain any defects and/or their cause or if the purchaser, upon
request by Weart, fails to return the faulty Products within 10 calendar days of receipt of this request. Following the receipt of the notice, Weart, at its sole discretion and sustaining all related costs, shall: i) repair the defective Products; b) supply (DAP Incoterms 2020) at its own expense at the premises of the purchaser
Products of the same type and quantity of those found to be defective; c) issuance of a credit note in favor of the purchaser for an amount equal to the value indicated on the invoice of the returned defective Products. It is agreed that Products that are returned and not repaired but replaced shall become the property of Weart upon delivery.
Should identified and reported Product defects not fall within the Warranty period or should they not be attributable to Weart, the latter provide support to the purchaser and the costs of repair and/or replacement of the Products shall be fully borne by the purchaser.
It is agreed that this Warranty shall replace the legal warranties for defects and non-conformity and shall exclude any other possible liability of Weart for defects and non-conformity, whatever arising from supplied Products.
DISCLAIMER
The liability of Weart for any reason resulting from the supply of the Products shall in no case exceed the price of the defective Product to which this liability arises.
In no event shall Weart be liable for loss of profit or for failure to use or technical shutdown of the Product, for claims by the purchaser and/or third parties relating to the damages for the aforementioned or for any other damages, even indirect or consequential.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
In no way, except as expressly indicated in this clause, shall the supply of the Products be intended or interpreted as a transfer, assignment or grant of any license or other right on the industrial or intellectual property rights of the Product (or any parts thereof) which shall remain the exclusive ownership of Weart. Furthermore, Weart retains full property rights on all designs and documentation that have been delivered to the purchaser, the latter undertaking not to transmit them to third parties or use them for purposes other than those provided for in the supply of the Products. Weart grants the purchaser a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license, except as provided for in this clause, valid worldwide, for using the “object code” of the software installed on the Product (“Software License”). No other use is permitted. Weart may terminate the Software License in the event that the purchaser breaches these terms and conditions. The price of the Product also includes the granting of the Software License referred to in this clause. It is agreed that the purchaser may in no case: i) carry out any sale, transfer, license, decoding, disassembly or redistribution of the software and the interface software; ii) copy, disclose, distribute or
display such software and interface software; iii) make such software or interface software accessible to others or allow unauthorised use.
NON-DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS
The Parties mutually acknowledge that the supply of the Products could result in the need for Weart to make confidential information available to the purchaser (“Confidential Information”) and that, therefore, for the purposes of this clause, Weart may be defined as the “Proprietary Party”; and the purchaser as the “Recipient”.
Confidential Information shall be received and kept in the strictest confidence by the Recipient, who undertakes not to disclose Confidential Information to third parties, using the same degree of diligence that you would normally use to protect its assets and to respect – and to ensure that its employees and collaborators will respect too – the confidentiality obligations related to all Confidential Information. The Recipient may not copy, duplicate, reproduce or record the Confidential Information in any format or by any means except to the extent strictly necessary to use the Products.
If a disclosure of the Confidential Information is caused by acts or facts directly or indirectly attributable to the Recipient and/or its employees, the same shall be obliged to compensate the Proprietary Party for any damage that is directly or indirectly related to the aforementioned disclosure.
The confidentiality obligations referred to in this clause shall come into force from the time of validity and effectiveness of the GCS for a period of 3 years.
FORCE MAJEURE AND EXCESSIVE BURDEN
The Parties shall not be held liable for any breaches related to the terms and conditions defined in these GCS and the relative Offer, should failure by affected Party be caused by force majeure such as, for example: natural disasters, national strikes, governmental measures concerning the transfer of goods, services or currency, etc., or in the event that performance by one of the parties has become excessively burdensome due to the occurrence of unforeseen or unforeseeable events. In the above-mentioned cases, the party whose performance is directly or indirectly affected by force majeure or which has become excessively burdensome shall be required to promptly notify the other party, undertaking – simultaneously – to take all possible measures to remove the force majeure causes and resume the performance as soon as possible. If this is not possible, the affected party who was obliged to perform but was impeded may request the contract’s termination.
VARIOUS PROVISIONS
Autonomy of the Parties. Weart and the purchaser are and shall remain independent parties, and nothing provided for in an Offer or by these GTS may be interpreted in such a way as to create a franchise relationship, or a joint venture between the parties. The purchaser does not act or operate on behalf of Weart and has no power to assume commitments in its name and on its behalf. The Offer and these GCS do not establish any exclusive relationship. Privacy. The parties declare and guarantee that the collection, use, disclosure and storage of any personal data, in relation to and/or in execution and/or connected to the supply of the Products, shall be performed in full compliance with EU Regulation 2016/679, as amended. Any processing of personal data carried out by the parties for purposes that are not strictly related to the contractual relationship established by the parties with these GCS is expressly prohibited. Partial nullity. The parties agree that if one or more clauses contained in these GCS are considered void or ineffective, such nullity or ineffectiveness shall be limited to said clauses and shall not result in the invalidity of all the GCS. The parties in any case undertake to negotiate in good faith in order to replace invalid or ineffective clauses with other clauses that as much as possible ensure the same effects of the replaced clauses, having regard to the purposes of the GCS.
JURISDICTION AND RELEVANT COURT
The parties declare that Italian law, irrespective of its conflict of laws rules, shall apply to and govern these GCS and the Offer and the obligations arising from the same, albeit not expressly defined in these GCS. The Parties exclude application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods. Should disputes arise between the Parties regarding the interpretation, execution and termination of these GCS and the Offer (including interpretation of this art. 11) that cannot be settled amicably, the same shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Milan.
