These Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) apply to all the sales between Galstaff Multiresine Spa (“Seller”) and whomever submits the Seller a Purchase Order (“Customer”). These T&C shall be the sole and only to govern the sale agreement and shall form its integral part thereof.
Under these T&C a “Purchase Order” (“PO”) is any request to supply Products (either existing or yet to be produced) submitted, in whichever form (also indirectly), to the Seller so long as it contains at least one of the following Product specs: type, quantity or requested delivery date.
The latest version of the T&C as updated and available on www.galstaffmultiresine.com supersede any and all prior oral or written agreement or understanding over sales between Seller and Customer, including all prior versions of the T&C, except in the case where a Contract has been already concluded as per art. 5 below.
Seller has the right to update/amend the T&C with no obligation to inform Customer thereof, except in the case where a Contract has been already concluded as per art. 5 below.
Any amendments or variations to the T&C shall have no validity unless previously agreed in writings with the Seller.
The Contract shall be considered as concluded when a PO is accepted by Seller. Cancellation or amendment by Customer of any PO accepted by Seller shall only be valid if submitted by Customer within 48 hours of such acceptance.
Prices, quantity and other Product characteristics are those confirmed by Seller upon acceptance, as communicated directly or indirectly, by e-mail, fax or post. Any subsequent amendment shall be agreed in writing with Seller.
It is specified that delivery dates are always indicatives and thus subject to modifications. All prices, unless otherwise specified, are in Euros and do not include any present and future duties or taxes which could possibly be levied on Products. Relevant applicable tax rates shall be those in force at the time of shipment. The place of payment, independently from the delivery place of Products and documents, shall be Seller’s administrative offices in Mornago (VA) – Via Stazione 90.

The above mentioned claims as well as the others provided for herein (see art. 17, 18 and 22 below), even when accepted, shall not grant Customer any right to delay, suspend or avoid payment of invoices, not even the ones regarding the Products in dispute: on the contrary instead, Seller shall return what has been paid in excess – in case.
In no case Customer shall be allowed to set off any credit whatsoever, including those depending from damage recovery claims, unless the set off has been agreed upon in writings by Seller representative, vested with the necessary powers, powers which the Customer shall previously verify, under penalty of set off nullity.
Delivery terms of each shipment are those indicated on the shipment documents, which shall be interpreted according to the INCOTERMS in force at the time of conclusion of the Contract. Delivery dates shall be from time to time agreed upon with Customer.

In such cases, as well as in all cases of termination or cancellation not depending on Seller’s conduct or fault, Customer shall not be entitled to any indemnity, compensation or refund, and shall, upon request, have to pay for the Products (already manufactured or that are being manufactured) which Seller will indicate as available.
Products quality is solely determined by the Product specifications prepared by Seller (and relevant test methods) acknowledged by Customer and in force at the time of conclusion of the Contract (see art. 5 and 6).

Any possible and temporary tolerance of Seller as far as concerns the Customer’s failure to perform one or more obligations under the Contract, as well as a delay or a failure to enforce a right or faculty under the Contract, shall never be construed as a definitive waiver of the corresponding right.
Should this procedure not be exactly followed, the claim will not be taken into consideration and Seller will not be liable for any possible damage whatsoever.
