GENERAL TERMS OF SALE

Art. 1: General clause
Our sales are subject to these general terms and conditions, which prevail over any purchasing conditions of our customers, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Gesso SRL.

Art. 2: Transfer of ownership and risks
The goods sold shall remain the property of Gesso SRL until full payment of all amounts due.

During this period, the goods may not be rented out, donated, or pledged to a third party.

Art. 3: Prices and payment terms
Our prices are net, payable in cash and without discount. A 40% deposit is required for every order.

Any amount unpaid on its due date shall automatically and without prior notice bear late payment interest at a rate of 1% per month, calculated from the due date.

In addition to this interest, in the event of non-payment on the due date, the total invoice amount shall automatically and without prior notice be increased by 10%, with a minimum of 124 euros, as fixed and irreducible compensation for damages.

In the case of works invoiced according to progress, non-payment of an invoice entitles us to suspend the works until full payment of the outstanding amounts, at which point we may schedule the continuation of the works.

In such cases, as well as in the event of deterioration of our customer’s creditworthiness, we reserve the right to require such guarantees as we deem appropriate to ensure the proper performance of the commitments undertaken.

Art. 4: Quotations
The obligations of Gesso SRL are limited to what has been stipulated in the quotation.

Any subsequent modification must be requested in writing by the customer and remains subject to our acceptance.

According to our quotations, all materials resulting from demolition or modification works shall automatically become the property of Gesso SRL.

Unless otherwise stipulated, all our offers and quotations remain valid for one (1) month.

Art. 5: Confidentiality
Plans, drawings and studies carried out by Gesso SRL remain its property.

The purchaser may under no circumstances communicate them to third parties.

Art. 6: Delivery
Unless otherwise stipulated, prices are ex works.

The purchaser shall therefore bear the costs and risks of transporting the goods.

In the event of delivery by our services, the goods shall be unloaded on the ground floor. If necessary, the recipient is required to assist with unloading.

The customer is required to verify the quantities and condition of the goods.

Any complaint relating to transport (including breakage and content of the goods) shall only be taken into consideration if received in writing within 3 days of receipt of the goods.

Art. 7: Moulds
Templates or moulds used for the execution of an order remain the property of Gesso SRL, unless otherwise agreed in writing at the time of the order.

Due to the nature of the materials used, templates or moulds may or may not be preserved after delivery of the order.

Any additional order not included in the quotation shall be subject to a fixed surcharge corresponding to the reactivation or restarting of the template or mould.

At the time of ordering, the customer is required to inform us in writing if models to be duplicated are protected by copyright.

Art. 8: Warranty
The warranty period is twelve (12) months for goods and 10 years for works.

The warranty essentially applies to manufacturing or installation defects, provided that the goods are maintained and used properly and with due care.

In the case of works, no complaint shall be accepted after formal acceptance of the work without remarks.

This provision shall not prejudice the application of the ten-year liability provided for under Article 2270 of the Civil Code.

Should our liability be engaged, our intervention shall be limited to the replacement or repair of the goods or work recognized as defective, excluding any damages, return costs, interest or compensation.

Art. 9: Applicable law and competent courts
Any dispute shall be governed by Belgian law, and the courts of Brussels shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
