1.6 Seller communicates its General and its Special Terms and Conditions of Sale to Buyer through a link to its dedicated webpage on its Ancillary Terms and/or through its e-commerce system. Seller communicates its Ancillary Terms to Buyer by its e-commerce system and by e-mail.
1.7 Buyer cannot unilaterally or tacitly depart from the Agreement in any way whatsoever (e.g. by simple conduct). The Agreement excludes the application of any of the Buyer’s general or special terms and conditions. Buyer consequently recognizes that its general or special conditions do not apply to the Agreement.

2.3 The Seller assumes that the information, drawings and other data submitted by the Buyer are correct and may use these as the basis of his quotation. Where the Buyer himself places an order by citing himself references to the Seller, then the Seller shall assume that these correspond with the Product effectively required.
2.4 Even though all illustrations, measurements, capacities, weights and other details regarding machines and parts, price lists, offers included in the Seller’s catalogue or the Seller’s website are compiled with the greatest possible care, they only constitute an approximation and are purely informative and thus given free of obligation.

In any case, the potential compensation as a result of late delivery is limited to 0.5% of the Purchase Price for each complete week following the 21st working day after the delivery date, with a maximum amount equal to 5% of the Purchase Price.
