1. ORDERS
The order is binding for the customer and is accepted only if confirmed in writing by ETS Spa. The supply includes what is explicitly specified in the order confirmation and any technical specifications. Any additional service or change will be calculated separately.
2. ADVANCES
Orders must always be accompanied by an advance payment. Advances are always non-interest bearing and the amount paid remains acquired by ETS Spa as a penalty in the event the order is revoked by the customer, without prejudice to the right of ETS Spa to claim any other damages and the right to request the fulfilment of the contractual commitments.
3. PRICES
Unless otherwise agreed, prices are for delivery ex-works Padua. The price is the one defined in the order confirmation.
4. TESTING
Testing takes place at ETS Spa according to internal regulations. At these tests the customer can assist personally or through its officials, further to written communication sent to ETS Spa at least 15 days before the date scheduled for the test. If, in addition to normal internal testing, special tests are required the related costs are charged to the customer. In all events, during the tests the goods must be handled only by the staff of ETS Spa. If the customer withdraws the goods without testing, they are considered unconditionally accepted as is.
5. DELIVERIES
The delivery time os expressed in working days, it is indicative and runs from the date all the data necessary to complete the supply is received. Any delays in delivery will be justified, as well as by cases of force majeure, also by all those causes that may delay the manufacturing process such as business interruptions due to trade union actions, delays attributable to suppliers, transport suspensions, electricity shortages, accidents, etc.
ETS Spa will not be held responsible for any damages for the delay in delivery. For the collection of the goods by the customer the term of 10 days is established from when they become available. In case of failure to collect within the aforementioned term, the customer agrees to pay a penalty equal to 1% (one percent) of the price of the goods for each week (or fraction thereof) of late collection. ETS Spa, at its sole discretion, will be able to terminate the contract due to breach by the customer, with all the legal consequences and will withhold the advance as a penalty, without prejudice to any greater damages they may claim.
6. PAYMENT
Payments must be made before delivery through by bank transfer. In the case of sale by instalments, it is done with a retained domain agreement as per art. 1523 and following of the Civil Code and therefore the goods will become the property of the customer only after payment of the last instalment of the price. In the case of non-payment even of only one of the agreed instalments, the debtor loses the “benefit of the term” and ETS Spa can demand immediate payment of all the instalments not yet due. The report of alleged defects or faults of the supplied goods cannot be the cause for suspending payment. Default interest is applied on the delayed payment as envisaged by Legislative Decree 9 October 2002 n. 231. 
7. SHIPMENTS
Unless otherwise agreed, the goods are sold ex works and any packaging is charged at cost. Transport is always intended on behalf, at the risk and peril of the customer even if the goods are supplied free delivery, further to special written agreements. The insurance is stipulated only on specific instructions of the customer and is, in any case, their responsibility.
8. CHANGES TO THE CONSTRUCTION
ETS Spa has the right to make any changes in the construction of the goods without the obligation to inform the customer, as long as such changes do not concern assembly and overall dimensions. Furthermore, ETS Spa is not obliged to make any changes requested by the customer after the order confirmation, except for a specific written agreement between the partiese.
9. INSTALLATION
The installation is charged to the customer. ETS Spa, at the Customer’s request, can provide an assembler as soon as one is available, both to assist in installation and the tests after installation, and for any servicing, repair and set-up work. All travel expenses will be charged to the customer. The Customer undertakes to provide, at their own responsibility and expense, the lifting means, labour and whatever else the assembler needs to complete the work. The assembler receives orders only from ETS Spa and is not authorized to make commitments to the customer.
10. INFORMATION DATA
A tolerance of 5% is allowed on the technical power and consumption data; on other technical data, including weight, the tolerance is 10%.

12. WARRANTY

For the components and accessories supplied that are not manufactured by ETS Spa (e.g. engines, alternators, electrical parts …), the warranty terms are applied set by the manufacturers of these components and accessories. The warranty consists of the repair or replacement of parts found to be defective in the opinion of ETS Spa.
