COMMERCIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

General conditions of Sale

In case of purchase of Goods, the Acceptance will indicate the Goods supplied, the relative price, any shipping costs and/or additional charges as well as payment, delivery methods, terms and the existence of any right of withdrawal, where provided for by the Consumer Code.

 

Execution of the Order

The Supplier will do everything reasonably possible to supply the Customer with the Goods indicated in the Order in compliance with the terms and conditions set out therein.

 

The delivery dates, where present in the Order, are indicated for information purposes only and cannot be considered binding for the Supplier. Consequently, any delays in the supply of the Goods do not authorize the Customer to refuse them, to resolve or cancel the Order and/or to delay the payment of the amount due and, in any case, to request compensation for damages for any reason.

In the event that the Supplier is not able to supply, in whole or in part, the Goods covered by an Order within the terms and/or in the specification indicated in the Acceptance, if any, it will communicate this to the Customer (accepted via email) with indication of any new timing and/or methodology. If the Customer does not intend to accept the new times and/or methods or the Supplier’s performance has become impossible, the Supplier will return to the Customer the sums already paid by the latter for the Goods in question or will issue a bonus to be used within 12 months and valid for the purchase of other Goods (“Bonus”). The value of the Bonus will be

equal to the amount actually paid by the Customer in relation to the Order that the Supplier was unable to execute. The Supplier will confirm the issue of the Bonus to the Customer in writing, possibly also via e-mail or printable confirmation web page.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Supplier and the Customer, the Goods will be sent to the Customer at the place of destination indicated in the Order with EXW clause. Consequently, with any EXW order, all risks of loss or damage to the Goods fall on the Customer from the moment they are made available to him at the Supplier’s factory and this also in the event that the sale to the Customer is carried out with retention of title, in pursuant of Art. 1523 of the Civil Law.

The Customer will be responsible for any complaint regarding the Goods and/or their packaging and/or the documents accompanying the Goods to the freight forwarder upon receipt at the place of destination indicated in the transport document. Exceptions or disputes raised by the Customer after receipt of the Goods will not be taken into consideration and cannot give rise to requests for compensation and/or charges against the Supplier, unless the Customer proves that they are hidden defects and such defects have been reported in writing to the Supplier within 48 hours from the moment they became apparent.

In the event that the Customer refuses to receive the delivered Goods or returns such Goods to the Supplier without there being a legitimate reason, the Supplier will have the right (i) to retain the amount received as a confirmation deposit, in addition to the reimbursement of further expenses incurred (e.g. transport costs, storage and related administrative charges) resulting from the aforementioned refusal or refund of sums; or (ii) obtain specific execution of the Contract without prejudice to the right to compensation for further damages suffered.

 

Withdrawal

The right of withdrawal is expressly excluded unless the Customer qualifies as a “Consumer” pursuant to the Consumer Code and purchases Goods through the Site. In this case, the Customer will have the right to withdraw, without any reason, within 10 working days from delivery of the Goods or from the conclusion of the Contract within the limits and according to the methods set out in the Art. 55 paragraph II of the Consumer Code. Any withdrawal by the Customer must be sent, in the format provided for in the second paragraph of the aforementioned Art. 64, before the expiry of the period of 10 working days referred to in the previous Art. 2.3.1 and, in the 10 working days following receipt of the withdrawal notice, the Supplier will make the refund without any charge to the Customer. In any case, the Customer will not have the right to withdraw from the Contract, unless otherwise provided in the Special Conditions, if the Goods are clearly personalized or, by their nature, cannot be returned by the Customer or, again, they are not supplied on a material or their supply takes place, with the agreement of the Customer, before the expiry of the deadline set by the Art. 64 paragraph I of the Consumer Code.

 

Prices and payments

1. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Supplier and the Customer, the price of the Goods will be that indicated on the site at the time of Acceptance.
2. Where the price undergoes an increase equal to or greater than 3% compared to that in force at the time of receipt of the Order, the Supplier, before carrying out the supply, will inform the Customer who, within 48 working hours of receiving the aforementioned communication , will have the right to cancel the Order by giving written notice to the Supplier.
3. The Supplier will have the right to modify, at its sole discretion, the price at any time.
4. In the case of purchases through the IT System, where the Customer acts as a “Consumer” pursuant to the Consumer Code and intends to receive an invoice, he must expressly request this at the time of the Order, providing the information necessary for this purpose. Invoices will be sent by email or, upon request of the Customer, by post to the addresses indicated in the Order.
5. The Customer must report in writing to the Supplier, under penalty of forfeiture, no later than 8 days from receipt of the invoices, any errors and/or irregularities contained therein. Failure to report errors and/or irregularities in invoices as indicated above will constitute tacit recognition of their correctness.
6. The timely payment of all sums due to the Supplier is an essential condition. Consequently, for no reason can the Customer delay or refuse payment of the aforementioned sums and any delay in payment, even of just one part, entitles the Supplier to immediately demand payment of the entire amount with consequent forfeiture of the benefit of the term. Without prejudice to other remedies provided by law and/or the General Conditions, in the event of delay in payments, interest on the sums owed to the Supplier will automatically start to apply from the day following the payment deadline to the extent provided for by Legislative Decree 9.10.2002 N. 231, but increased by 5 points.
7. The Supplier reserves the right to suspend, at any time, the supply of the Goods covered by an Order for which it has requested and not received sufficient solvency guarantees or specific guarantees from the Customer or has not collected the amount owed to it by the Customer.
8. In case of purchase/supply of Goods using remote communication techniques, those tariffs different and/or higher than those ordinarily charged for the same activities, if not included in the price, are indicated and calculated in the purchase procedure before forwarding of the Order and then specified in the Acceptance.
9. Despite the Supplier’s commitment to keeping the Site constantly updated, it cannot be ruled out that there may be errors in the catalog of Goods. If, due to misunderstandings or other inconveniences, the price indicated on the Site is lower than the correct price of the Goods ordered through the Site, the Supplier will contact the Customer to verify whether he still wishes to purchase such Goods at the correct price. Otherwise the Order cannot be accepted.
10. Any refunds to the Customer will be made using one of the methods indicated on the Site itself, in the area dedicated to the “Refund Procedure”. Once the refund order has been placed in favor of the Customer, the Supplier cannot be held responsible for any delays or omissions in the crediting of the relevant amount by the third party in charge to whom the Customer must contact directly.

 

Use of the IT System

4.1 The use of the IT System by the Customer to purchase Goods is subject to the correct registration on TADA’ Website by filling and sending the specific form made available (“Registration”) that will allow the Customer to have access to the functions better specified on the Site in the “Customer Area”.

4.4 Due to the nature of the electronic network, uninterrupted access to the IT System as well as the absence of errors in data transmission cannot be guaranteed by the Supplier who, therefore, will not be responsible for disservices or malfunctions connected to the use of the IT System. Furthermore, the Customer acknowledges and accepts that access and/or use of the IT System may occasionally be suspended or limited to allow the Supplier to carry out repairs, maintenance or updates.

4.5 The Supplier assumes no responsibility for any fraudulent or illicit use that may be made by third parties of the IT System, credit cards and/or other means of payment as well as for the existence of viruses, bugs , Trojan horses or similar that may be transmitted via the IT System.
