Terms and
Conditions of Sale
Each sale is delivered ex warehouse, ex stock by Vibo S.p.A Therefore, shipping, insurance, and other costs, as well as risks associated are to be borne by the customer.
Unless the parties agree otherwise-reporting it in written in the order-the Client freely chooses the shipping agent. Therefore, the customer, must collect the goods at Vibo S.p.A warehouse within and not beyond 5 (five) working days from the delivery date specified for the relevant order. In the event the customer fails to collect the goods by that date, Vibo S.p.A is entitled to obtain corresponding warehousing costs calculated on the basis of an interest rate of 5% (five percent) of the contract price for each week of delay. Once 30 (thirty) days have elapsed Vibo S.p.A may sell the goods ordered, but not collected by the customer.
All shipping costs and risks, including storage expenses at carrier premises, are to be borne by the customer, as follows:
- the customer does not accept the goods from the carrier;
- the customer is not available during working days and in business hours;
- the carrier fails to deliver the goods-in case of goods delivered with cash on delivery terms-following the customer’s refusal to pay according to the terms and conditions previously agreed upon.
In any case, Vibo S.p.A reserves the right-when previously agreed with the customer-to proceed with part-delivery, unless differently specified in the relevant order.
Vibo S.p.A guarantees the distributed products exclusively for faults deriving from defects in design, material and construction, which can be attributed to the seller. This warranty does not apply when the purchaser cannot prove the correct installation, storage, use, maintenance and conservation of products, as well as that no modification or alteration of the goods occurred without prior consent from Vibo. In particular, a normal use of the products should be followed. Dimensional and thickness changes do not represent defects or nonconformities when they remain within the tolerance margin specified in the UNI ISO regulations in force.
The above mentioned warranties have a 24 (twenty-four) months validity from the date of the goods’ shipment by Vibo S.p.A, unless otherwise provided in the Price List of Vibo S.p.A in force at the date of order confirmation. In any case, it remains understood that warranties, mentioned previously, shall not become operative if the customer fails to submit a written complaint by the deadlines and in the form described.
In order to exercise the warranty right, the customer must ship to Vibo S.p.A all products-securely packaged-and possibly in their original packaging. They must be completed in all their parts and accessories and must not present any attempt at tampering or damage not due to manufacturing faults. The warranty excludes any other kind of responsibility of Vibo S.p.A, which-in no event-shall be held responsible for indirect damages to third parties, consequential production losses, or loss of profits. Once the warranty period has elapsed, no claims can be invoked against Vibo S.p.A
The customer explicitly recognizes that the name Vibo S.p.A, its logo and Know How of the products subject of the purchase are under intellectual and industrial property rights of Vibo S.p.A.
In no case the customer-unless previously authorised in written by Vibo S.p.A-is allowed to use, delete and remove any indication regarding patents, brands, trade or origin names affixed by Vibo S.p.A on products provided.
The customer hereby commits to treat as confidential the information obtained by virtue of the activities carried out in the context of this contract. The same duty of confidentiality applies to Vibo S.p.A with respect to the customer.
