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.

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.
-
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. Once the products have been delivered in whole or in part, both the title of ownership and the risks of loss or deterioration will pass to the Buyer, except in the case of sale with reservation of title in section 4 of these Conditions.
-
B.- The agreed delivery period will begin to count from the date of receipt by the Seller of the Buyer's order, provided that the Buyer has made the first payment, if applicable, in accordance with the agreement, and the Seller has received all the necessary information to accurately determine the characteristics of the elements to be supplied, and to begin manufacturing them.

B.- In the event of late payment, the Seller, without prejudice to the right to exercise the corresponding actions, will charge the Buyer all the respective financial costs, calculated according to the annual interest rate resulting from increasing by one point the interest rate for discount operations in Commercial Banks in force at the respective due dates.
-
C.- Likewise, in the event of late payment by the Buyer, or if the Buyer becomes aware of a serious deterioration in his financial situation, the credits will expire immediately and the pending orders to be supplied, at the Seller's discretion, will be fulfilled with prior advance payment or will be cancelled by charging the Buyer's account the costs of cancellation of the order.
-
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.

-
B.- The buyer must notify the Seller, within the time periods mentioned in point A of this section, in writing and in a reliable manner, of any discrepancies, defects and/or faults found in the product, which could be attributable to the Seller. After the aforementioned time periods have elapsed without the Seller having received notification of a claim from the Buyer, the supply will be considered to have been accepted, and any right to claim will be extinguished.
