Customers within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions are exclusively entrepreneurs, companies and legal entities and professionals. Customers are natural persons and legal entities that, upon conclusion of the contract, act in execution of their commercial and independent professional capacity. 1.2 Unless otherwise provided for, ANFIM's quotations are never binding. In the absence of a special agreement, a contract will not be concluded unless it is confirmed by ANFIM's written order acknowledgement. Therefore, the supply contract (the “Contract”), regulated by these General Contract Conditions, is deemed to be concluded as soon as the Supplier confirms acceptance in writing of an order (“Order Confirmation”) after receipt of it. 1.3 Documents associated to ANFIM’s agreements, quotations and brochures as well as pictures, drawings, illustrations and descriptions, measurements and weight specifications contained in ANFIM's agreements, quotations and brochures, shall be binding only if they are the subject matter of a special written contract with the Customer.

Said documents are to be returned to ANFIM upon request. 2 Prices 2.1 Prices for goods of each purchase will be those indicated in the ANFIM’s Prices List in force on the date of submission of the purchase order by the Customer or the different prices offered by ANFIM to the Customer by using the Order Confirmation as long as these prices are confirmed in the Order Confirmation.

For orders below this threshold ANFIM reserves the right to charge a processing fee of EUR 10,00. 2.3 For orders with a value below EUR 1.000,00 packaging costs of EUR 20,00 will be charged in addition to the actual costs of delivery. 2.4 Services, which are not included in ANFIM's Order Confirmation, will be invoiced separately. 3 Period of delivery 3.1 The period of delivery will be established by mutual agreement of the contracting Parties; unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the Supplier and the Customer, the delivery terms are merely indicative and calculated on working days’ basis. If prepayment has been agreed, the period of delivery starts upon receipt of the prepayment by ANFIM. 3.2 In case of unforeseen and unavoidable events in the production or other obstacles such as acts of god, labor disputes or other disruptions in ANFIM’s business or in the business of ANFIM’s suppliers as well as delayed delivery by ANFIM’s suppliers (hereinafter, jointly or individually considered, the “impeditive events”) ANFIM shall not be held liable for a delay in delivery and it will be entitled to extend the delivery period by a period of time equal to the duration of such force majeure event. In the aforementioned cases, ANFIM will inform the Customer of the start and end of such impeditive events as soon as possible. 3.3 A delay in delivery due to one of the impeditive events set forth under § 3.2 above, shall not authorise the Customer to terminate the Contract unless the delay is exceeding a time period of 90 days to be calculated from the expiry of the delivery period previously agreed. In any case, ANFIM will not be responsible for the harmful consequences and damages that may arise from impeditive events which fall outside its sphere of control. 3.4 If the delay in the delivery is due to a reason for which only the Customer is responsible, ANFIM will be entitled to extend the delivery period by a period of time equal to the duration of the reason that caused the delay and to claim for compensation of any direct or indirect damage or cost suffered as a consequence thereof. 3.5 Apart from the cases considered above, whenever ANFIM were to be overdue (by more than 15 days) following the delivery periods, the Customer shall be entitled to a penalty of one-half percent (0.5%) of the total value of the goods per each entire week of delay, but only up to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the value of the goods delivered late, while any recoverability of further damages is excluded, pursuant to art. 1382 first paragraph, of the Civil Code. Notwithstanding the above provisions, the Customer may terminate the contract only in case the delay is exceeding 90 days and, however if the delay is entirely imputable to wilful misconduct or gross negligence of ANFIM. 3.6 Further damage claims by the Customer shall be considered and determined exclusively according to § 10.1. of these General Contract Conditions. 3.7 Partial deliveries are permissible to the extent such partial deliveries are not unreasonably burdensome for the Customer. 4 Payments 4.1 Payments must be made in the invoiced currency to the bank designated by ANFIM, except as otherwise agreed.

Further, the setoff of payments shall be excluded, unless the Customer's counterclaims have been recognised by declaratory judgment or expressly acknowledged in writing by ANFIM.

Until this point in time, the Customer is not authorised to resell, pledge or mortgage the goods to third parties or to transfer them as security unless it is not expressly authorized in writing by ANFIM. In case of resell of the product by the Customer to third parties, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 1478 Civil Code, the third party buyer shall acquire ownership of the product in the exact moment its price is fully paid to ANFIM. 5.2 Except for other written agreement by the Parties, the authorization to resale shall be deemed subject to the condition precedent of the simultaneous transfer in favour of ANFIM of all claims resulting from the resale, but within the limits of the value of the Products supplied by ANFIM. Therefore, the Customer shall notify the own client / third party buyer the transfer of any claim regarding the price of the Product(s) in favour of ANFIM and provide the latter with every information and documentation necessary for the enforcement of any right of claim arising from the resale. 5.3 ANFIM, whenever it deems it appropriate, may waive the right to retain title from the above §§, and transfer ownership of the Product to the Customer prior to his entire payment expressed via written notification. 5.4 The Customer shall also engage any act, conduct or performance useful to support the protection of the rights of ANFIM arising from this article. 6 Shipping 6.1 In the absence of special instructions from the Customer, ANFIM shall procure the packing and handling of the consignments to the best of its knowledge and ability, but without any responsibility and with the right to decide, at its sole discretion, without any possible possibility of claim by the Customer, the modes of transport/carriage and/or which transport agents shall be appointed for the consignments. 6.2 All consignments shall travel uninsured at the Customer´s risk.

If, in connection with the assembly, said persons suffer injuries, ANFIM shall be responsible only in cases of intent or gross negligence. 9 Warranty 9.1 The warranty period for all new parts, parts subject to wear and tear as grinding discs, is 12 months as of the date of delivery of the product. 9.2 The Customer must immediately examine the supplied goods for deviations in quantity and quality and report defects obvious and immediately identifiable, at the latest within a time limit of 8 working days upon receipt of the goods; otherwise, the assertion of the warranty claim shall be excluded.
