Customer’s orders (hereinafter also referred to as “Order”) shall be in writing and are deemed accepted by the Supplier upon submission of a written order confirmation (hereinafter also referred to as “Order Confirmation”) to Customer.  

These General Conditions are deemed accepted by the Parties when the Order is issued by the Customer. The Agreement is perfected, as between the Parties, once the Supplier, after having received the Order, has notified Customer in writing of its acceptance via the Order Confirmation.  

These General Conditions are included in the Offer and in the Order Confirmation issued by the Supplier, and constitute an integral and substantial part of it. Should any conflict arise amongst different contract documents, the provisions of the Order Confirmation shall prevail. None of Customer’s conditions of purchase shall apply unless expressly accepted by 221e, even if stated in the Order and/or in the overleaf to the same. 

These General Conditions apply both to the supply of products from the Supplier catalogue and customized products or product versions made available by the Supplier in virtue of specific requests by the Customer.

The Supplier reserves the right, at any time before delivery and upon written notice to Customer, to increase the product Price by up to 5% to cover any greater expenses caused by factors outside of Supplier’s control including but not limited to: fluctuations in the currency market, currency regulations, customs duties variances, significant increases in the cost of labour, materials, or any other processing line item, changes to the delivery date, Product quantity, or any other delay caused by any Customer request or by any failure by the latter to provide sufficient instructions.

Delivery terms are set by the Supplier in the Order Confirmation. Any delay and/or interruption in delivery attributable to causes beyond the reasonable control of Supplier, will not give rise to any right of the Customer to cancel the Order, nor to obtain any direct and/or indirect indemnity. 

Should the packaging be visibly damaged after transportation, the Customer shall immediately file a claim with the courier – that is, upon delivery of the same – or accept the product under a reservation of rights.
