Delivery is understood to be made to all intents and purposes with the verbal or written communication that the goods are at the buyer’s disposal for collection, or at the time of delivery to the first carrier, regardless of whether the carrier has been commissioned by the customer or by Motovario Group. After delivery has been made, all risks concerning the material sold are taken on by the buyer, independently of the applicable incoterms. Shipment is always made at the buyer’s risk and cost with the means we consider the most appropriate, if no particular instructions have been provided. Loss, delay and damage to material as a consequence of shipment cannot be attributed to Motovario Group. In the case of shipment by our vehicles, this is understood to be made with carriage forward at best and under the buyer’s full responsibility. In the event of delay in collecting the goods, anyhow ready, for any reason beyond our control, after eight days of the communication of the goods being ready, Motovario Group may have the packing, shipment or storage of the goods made at the Buyer’s expense and issue an invoice for the sale of the material.

Failure to pay or delayed payments authorize Motovario Group to immediately suspend deliveries of other goods, as well as to cancel any order without the Buyer being owed any rights for any reason whatsoever.
Any claim or complaint does not give the Buyer the right to withhold payments.

All payments must necessarily be made by the Buyer through bank transfers from current accounts in his name to Motovario Group current accounts, and/or through means that ensure complete traceability in accordance with the regulations in force, with specific indication of the identification details of the invoice they refer to and of the contract in virtue of which the latter was issued.

It is expressly agreed upon, and also pursuant to and by effect of art. 1456 of the Italian Civil Code, that failure to comply with the abovementioned clauses (art. 1, n. 1.1 and n. 1.2) will result in the termination of this contract:

Motovario Group guarantees the products sold for two years from the date of delivery, considering use of two daily work-shifts (16 hours/day).

Warranty is limited to repair or replacement, free at our plant, of defective parts due to an ascertained defect of material or manufacture. The parts replaced remain our property. All other compensation is excluded, nor can any direct and/or indirect damage be claimed of any nature, also for the temporary lack of use of the goods purchased. Warranty is excluded for materials and parts subject to natural wear or deterioration (for example, oil seals or lubricants leakages caused by normal wear).Warranty is forfeit for products not used in conformity with our instructions or that are anyhow modified, repaired or even partially dismantled, or stored, installed, maintained or lubricated not in a proper way. The warranty is also excluded for damages, defects or malfunctions caused by external components (such as, for example, couplings, sprockets, pulleys, motors not produced by Motovario, etc..) or by incorrect installation of them. Verifying the compatibility of applications and correct mechanical couplings and electrical connections with the specifications of Motovario products, as indicated in the manufacturer’s catalogues, is solely to the concern and responsibility of the buyer.


LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE:

The liability of Motovario Group is strictly limited to the above-stated obligations and it is therefore clearly agreed that we take on no responsibility for any damage deriving from accidents of any nature that may occur during use of the products sold, whether they be considered defective or otherwise, also in cases of the choice of application being recommended by personnel of the Motovario Group Sales Organization. When applying geared motors or motorvariators the user is in any case obliged, under his own exclusive responsibility, to proceed with the utmost prudence and make provision for safety devices in conformity with the applicable directives, standards and technical regulations, and anyhow adequately to limit damage to persons and/or property deriving from their possible defectiveness.


PLACE OF FULFILMENT AND JURISDICTION:

The place of fulfilment for both parties is the Supplier’s offices. The jurisdiction for any dispute deriving directly or indirectly from the contract - also in the case of lawsuits for bills or failure to pay cheques - is therefore for the Judiciary Authority of MODENA where the Seller has its offices. Relations between the parties are governed solely by Italian law and the UN right of sale (Vienna Convention) is not applied.


TRANSFER OF TITLE:
In accordance with Art. 1523-1524 of the Italian Civil Code, transfer of title of the goods subject of sale will only take place after payment in full of the agreed price. The buyer is therefore obliged to conserve the subject of the supply conscientiously until his debt is extinguished. 
In accordance with the previous provisions related to the delivery of the goods, all risks and benefits related to the ownership of the goods are transferred to the customer with delivery to the first carrier, regardless of any applicable incoterms.
