  • B.- These General Conditions of Sale, together with the written offer of the Seller, shall prevail over any type of negotiations or correspondence, and constitute the only and complete agreement between the Buyer and the Seller with respect to the conditions that control the order. The Seller shall not be considered bound by any waiver or modification of these Conditions that have not been made expressly, in writing, and by a duly authorized representative.

  • C.- These General Conditions of Sale shall be considered to have been communicated to the Buyer from the moment that the latter receives an offer from the Seller accompanied by these Conditions. Alternatively, they will be considered as communicated if the Buyer received them previously in the course of his commercial relationship with the Seller; in all cases they will be considered accepted by the Buyer, for all purposes, when placing his order.

  • D.- The Seller's offer expires in all cases thirty days from its date. The Seller, however, reserves the right to revoke it in whole or in part at any time before receipt of the order.

  • E.- Orders that the Seller receives from the Buyer may not be subsequently cancelled by the latter, except by mutual agreement between the parties.

  • F.- The data included in the catalogues, documentation, plans, photographs, and in general, all those included in the offers, are approximate, so the Seller reserves the right to introduce, without prior notice, the variations it deems reasonable. Consequently, the offer and the aforementioned information do not exempt the Buyer from verifying and testing the technical qualification of the product for the required use, including the regulations that it must comply with.

  • G.- The intellectual and/or industrial property of the Seller's offer, in all its terms, and the information attached to it, as well as that of the equipment to be supplied and that of the elements, plans, drawings, software, etc., incorporated or related to it, belong to the Seller or its suppliers, so its use by the Buyer for purposes other than the fulfillment of the order is expressly prohibited, as well as its total or partial copy or transfer of use in favor of third parties, without the prior written consent of the Seller.

2.- Prices and review:

  • A.- The supply price refers to the material without packaging, placed in the Seller's warehouse.

  • B.- The prices are based on the costs of materials and labor on the date of the offer, and will be subject to the review formula conveniently prepared by the Seller.

3.- Delivery:

  • A.- The Seller will deliver the products to the Buyer upon notice of availability in the warehouse. Partial and/or early deliveries may be made with all effects.

  • D.- The sale will be deemed to be made with a reservation of title agreement when the total payment of the price is not made upon delivery.
