EXTRACT FROM GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE

METHOD OF PAYMENT

• Payments in advance must be received within the validity of the offer, otherwise the offer itself will be cancelled.
• In case of unpaid invoices or delayed payment the Italian Law Decree Nr. 192 dated 9th November 2012 shall be applied. The amount of €40 will be charged to the Customer by way of damages (save any further damages). The charged interest rate shall be 8% above the base rate charged by the European Central Bank on refinancing operations. Interests will be charged without the need for formal notice of default to be given by Osculati.
• In case of instalment sale, the Purchaser does not receive title to the goods until the last instalment of the Price has been paid, anyhow the Purchaser bears all risks from the time of goods delivery; as a consequence, the Purchaser shall pay to Osculati the whole price in case of theft, damage, fire or any other accidental case.
• The Purchaser cannot sell, donate, exchange, alienate, grant a pledge, sequestrate, in any way alter or bind the Products until the Price has been paid in full.
• In case of non-payment of two or more instalments (even not consecutive) whose amount exceeds the eighth part of the full Price due, Osculati will be entitled to demand immediate return of goods as well as of all the relevant documents.
• Osculati will also have the right to obtain the operation of the acceleration clause. Should this be the case the Purchaser shall have to pay immediately the whole agreed Price.
• Moreover, the delayed payment of even one single instalment will entitle Osculati not to fulfil any other contractual obligations undertaken in respect of other Purchaser’s deliveries.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF WARRANTY

Products sold by Osculati are backed by the legal guarantee on consumer goods, which protects the purchaser if defects occur after the date of purchase.
As required by the Consumer Code, the legal guarantee is 12 months for purchases made by professionals, with a regular invoice. By "Professional” we mean anyone who trades marine goods or services.
The legal guarantee recognised in trade between professionals (B2B) is therefore 12 months from the invoice date, except for particular extensions occasionally agreed with the seller (also for a fee).
