ART. 2) APPLICATION OF THE GCS.
- The General Conditions of Sale set out here apply to all contract relations with MEGATRON S.r.l. and its Customers in respect of Products and/or Services marketed by it.
- These GCS together with the Order and the Order Confirmation, represent all of the agreements reached between MEGATRON and the Customer relating to the supply that is the subject matter of the Order.
- Any waiver of these General Conditions of Sale is valid only if expressly included in the Order Confirmation duly signed by MEGATRON.
- MEGATRON has made these GCS available for consultation by publishing them on its corporate website megatronsensors.com
ART. 3) CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT
- Any clause or special condition of purchase shown in the Request for Offer sent to MEGATRON that is in conflict with these GCS shall be deemed null and void if not expressly accepted in the Order Confirmation.
- The Offer issued by MEGATRON in response to a Request for Order will not constitute a proposal for contract in the terms of Art. 1326 of the Civil Code and is therefore in no case binding upon MEGATRON. It has a purely indicative nature with regard to its willingness to provide the supply indicated therein;
- Any clause or special condition of purchase shown in the Order sent to MEGATRON that is in conflict with these GCS shall be deemed null and void if not expressly accepted in the Order Confirmation;
- The duly signed Order Confirmation is the sole document wherein MEGATRON may legitimately waive these GCS;
- In the event of disagreement between the provisions of the various contract documents, those of these GCS shall prevail both over those contained in the Order and those contained in the Request for Offer or the Offer itself; whereas the SOLE provisions contained in the Order Confirmation shall prevail over those contained in these GCS;
- Any of the Customer’s General Conditions of Purchase not expressly accepted by MEGATRON in the Order Confirmation, even if shown in the Order, shall not be applicable.
- The Offer from MEGATRON shall be valid only if sent directly from the firm itself. No Agent has the power to accept any Order; therefore any Order Confirmation must necessarily originate from MEGATRON.
- The Contract is concluded with the sending of the Order Confirmation by MEGATRON. The Customer must deal with checking all the data contained therein; these are to be deemed accepted if not challenged in writing within two working days.
