Selling prices
Prices are to be understood as excluding VAT and do not include transport costs. The prices applied are those in force at the time of invoicing. The company reserves the right to increase prices in the event that, after the conclusion of the contract, increases in costs occur for reasons external to its legal sphere. Any errors found in invoices, offers and order confirmations must be corrected by us, if clearly in conflict with the contractual conditions, do not attribute to the buyer, even in good faith, any rights.
Shipping times
The company is exempt from any liability for any delays due to force majeure. Compliance with delivery times presupposes fulfillment of the obligations imposed on the buyer. Delivery of goods, unless otherwise agreed, takes place at our factory in Cavarzere (VE). The goods travel at the risk and peril of the customer even if sold carriage paid.
Payment Terms
Unless otherwise agreed, payment must be made upon delivery. Any discounts or allowances for advance or cash payments require written agreements. Late payment authorizes us to apply an interest rate equal to the Official discount rate increased by four points. Bills of exchange and cheques are accepted only “pro solvendo” and the discount and collection costs are borne by the buyer. Delay or failure to pay an invoice will result in the forfeiture of any previously agreed payment facility. Furthermore, Bottecchia Cicli srl reserves the right to suspend deliveries of goods still on order. Failure to pay within the extended term will result in the application of art. 1453 of the civil code.
Packaging
Crates, pallets and other containers must be returned.
Retention of title
The goods are sold with retention of title pursuant to art. 1523 of the civil code. Any delays or other failures by the buyer will cause the termination of the contract and the withdrawal of the goods, except as provided for by art. 1525 of the civil code. The products do not become the property of the customer before full payment of the price, in accordance with the provisions of articles 1523 et seq. of the civil code.
Warranty
Any defects must be reported to us in writing within eight days of receipt of the goods. Defects that have not been identified within this period of time must be reported to us in writing as soon as they are discovered, but no later than six months after delivery of the goods. The guarantee ceases if the buyer does not give us the opportunity to verify the fault or defect found. Regular warranty claims occur with the replacement of the faulty goods without any additional costs; instead of replacement we reserve the right to grant a discount or compensation. The guarantee does not extend to any faults resulting from improper use of the goods. Warranty claims do not authorize the buyer to withhold the invoice amount.
Returns
Returns of goods are permitted only if previously accepted by us in writing, and must be carried out in compliance with current tax regulations. Return requests must indicate the number of our relevant invoice. Only those items that have not been modified may be returned. The return must not entail any costs for our account.
Final provisions
Deliveries and payments must be made at the Cavarzere (VE) plant.
The competent court in case of disputes is that of Venice.
Any changes to these provisions require our written approval.
