Buyer waives in advance to request the set-off with any credits, in any way arose, against Seller.

If, at the moment of receipt, the Buyer finds any anomaly, even slight, he must write in the consignment note specific and detailed reservations of acceptance with reference to the apparent state of the goods and their packaging, as generic reservations are not valid. The placing of specific and detailed reservations will allow the Buyer to make an appropriate claim concerning the carrier’s liability for partial loss or damage of the goods transported. Without a specific reservation we cannot replace or refund the product.

5.6 Shipping cost specified in the Confirmation Order is only an estimate, any extra costs due to factors not foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the Confirmation Order such as, for example, fuel cost increase, delivery in restricted traffic areas or delivery in narrow roads not suitable for normal trucks, are excluded and, in case they occur, are on charge of the customer.
