1.2 These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to all transactions concluded between Seller and Buyer without the need for an express reference to them or a specific agreement to that effect at the conclusion of each individual transaction.
1.3 Any different conditions or terms shall apply only if confirmed in writing by the Seller.
1.4 The Seller reserves the right to amend, supplement or vary the General Conditions of Sale by attaching such variations to the order proposals or to any correspondence sent in writing to the Buyer. Such variations shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Purchaser where the latter fails to declare in writing to the Seller any intention not to accept them within 8 (eight) days from the date of their receipt.
- OFFERS AND ORDERS
2.1 Each quotation sent by DRONEBASE S.R.L. to the Buyer constitutes a contractual proposal for the sale of goods and/or services coming from DRONEBASE S.R.L., and has a validity of 30 days starting from the date of its shipment to the Buyer.
2.2 The sale proposal is understood to be accepted by returning a copy of the quotation duly signed by the Buyer within the term of 30 days indicated above. The receipt by DRONEBASE S.R.L. of the estimate signed by the Buyer within the 30-day period indicated above determines the finalization of the contract of sale, with the consequent assumption of the obligation to pay the price by the Buyer.
2.3 Where the acceptance by the Buyer intervenes after the term of 30 days indicated above, the same will have to be considered as a new proposal of purchase formulated towards DRONEBASE S.R.L., that can refuse it or accept it through express confirmation and/or also for concluding facts. The issuance of the invoice by the Seller, or the beginning of the execution of the order received is considered as acceptance by DRONEBASE S.R.L. and determines the completion of the sales contract, with the consequent assumption of the obligation to pay the price by the Buyer.
- VARIATIONS
3.1 Any request for variation of the order by the Buyer must be made in writing, under penalty of nullity, and must be considered in all respects as a proposal for modification of the contract of sale concluded with DRONEBASE S.R.L., which may reject it or accept it by express confirmation or by executing the order with the requested changes.
3.2 Any change in characteristics, quality, quantity, and conditions in the order gives the seller the right to ask for a price adjustment or decline the order.
3.3 The variations of the orders are admitted only in the case in which DRONEBASE S.R.L. has not already given execution, even if only partial. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing between the parties, in the event that DRONEBASE S.R.L. has already forwarded the purchase order to its supplier, the purchaser will in any case be obliged to pay for all the material already ordered by DRONEBASE S.R.L., and the request for variation will be worth to all intents and purposes as an additional order in accordance with art. 4 of these contractual regulations.
- ADJECTIVAL ORDERS
4.1 All orders subsequent to and/or in addition to the main supply shall always be subject to all of these general conditions of sale, none excluded.
4.2 Every additional order made by the Buyer is intended as a new and autonomous irrevocable proposal of purchase valid for 30 days from the date of sending the order. Within this period DRONEBASE S.R.L. may reject it or accept it by express confirmation and / or even by conclusive facts. The issuance of invoice by the seller, or the beginning of the execution of the additional order received is considered as acceptance by DRONEBASE S.R.L. and determines the perfection of the contract of sale, with consequent assumption of the obligation to pay the price in the head of the Buyer.
