Orders shall be sent by the Dealer in writing, specifying full details of the items,
quantity, discounts, and any other important data relating to each article.
CRISTINA S.r.l. shall not be required to send an order confirmation whereby, in
this case, the contract of sale is intended as concluded, in accordance with Article
1327, first paragraph of the Italian Civil Code, at the time when execution of
each order by CRISTINA S.r.l. begins, relieving CRISTINA S.r.l. of its obligation to
promptly give notice of the beginning of performance to the Dealer. Orders shall
not be binding for CRISTINA S.r.l. which has the right to accept or reject them, at
its sole discretion. CRISTINA S.r.l., even after acceptance, however expressed, of
an order, and in consideration of the fact that products may be unavailable or due
to force majeure events, reserves the right to decide whether or not to execute
the order. If an order accepted by CRISTINA S.r.l. is not executed, CRISTINA S.r.l.
undertakes to only give prompt notice thereof to the Dealer who hereby agrees
to refrain from requesting any penalty and/or compensation for any damage.
The terms of delivery, if indicated, are merely indicative and not binding (is
this depends on the procurement of products to supply to the Dealer and also
depends on factors beyond CRISTINA S.r.l.’s control); any delays by CRISTINA S.r.l.
shall in no way constitute grounds for compensation for damage, or termination of
the agreement, or grounds to request penalties, price reductions and/or deferred
payment by the Dealer.
The identification of goods and transfer of ownership shall take place when the
goods are entrusted to the carrier.
The Dealer shall be responsible for all costs for transport and insurance as well
as the transport-related risks, and the delivery (and return) of products shall be
at CRISTINA S.r.l.’s warehouses located in Fontaneto d’Agogna and/or Gargallo
and/or Gozzano (EXW- Ex Works), unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, CRISTINA S.r.l. shall also be entitled to choose
the forwarding agent and/or carrier. In any case, CRISTINA S.r.l. shall not be
responsible for delays in delivery, loss and/or damage to goods incurred during
transport.
CRISTINA S.r.l. provides the end user of the products with a “standard warranty”
(commercial), which is intended to supplement and not replace any other rights
enjoyed by the end user, who has the status of “consumer” of the product against
the party from whom they bought the item. In particular, the CRISTINA S.r.l.
standard warranty does not affect the consumer rights provided for in Legislative
Decree 206, Part IV, Title III, Chapter 1 dated 6 September 2005 and subsequent
amendments or additions, or any other applicable national legislation applying to
the Consumer covering the sale of consumer goods issued pursuant to European
Directive 1999/44/EC and subsequent amendments and additions. Pursuant to
Article 3 of Legislative Decree 206/2005, the “Consumer” is any natural person
acting for purposes other than his/her business, commercial, craft or professional
activity; pursuant to Article 1 of European Directive 1999/44/EC, the “Consumer”
is any natural person who, in contracts subject to the said Directive, acts for
purposes other than that of his/her business or profession. The “standard
warranty” only covers the free of charge repair and/replacement of mechanical
parts sold by CRISTINA S.r.l., acknowledged to be defective in materials or
workmanship, as well as the repair and/or replacement of product parts sold by
CRISTINA S.r.l. presenting severe defects in the outer surface finish (by way of
example, chrome plating) due to workmanship or material, provided that the
above-mentioned products are accompanied by suitable financial document
(invoice or receipt). In any case, CRISTINA S.r.l. reserves the right, at its discretion,
to substitute the defective product with a similar product or one of higher quality.
It should be noted that CRISTINA S.r.l. becomes the owner of all products and/or
parts eventually replaced by the same. The repair or replacement of products
and/or defective parts are subject to the Dealer’s shipping of the defective
product and/or part to CRISTINA S.r.l. If at home assistance is required for
products embedded in furniture or walls and other products requiring such
assistance (where the fault has been established, and there is an express request
from the end user), the end user will be charged and responsible for all costs
including labour costs deriving from the need to uninstall the product and/or
make it accessible to the technical personnel who must perform the intervention,
to reinstall it after the intervention and restore the conditions of the premises.
Moreover, the end user will also be responsible for transfer costs needed for at
home assistance. It should be noted that the CRISTINA S.r.l. “standard warranty”
does not cover the costs and/or damages to any covering (including, but not
limited to, tiles, stones, metals, wood, porcelain, fabrics, hereinafter for the sake
of brevity referred to as Coatings); costs and/or damage to furniture and fixtures,
labour costs resulting from the need to uninstall (and/or make available for
intervention) and reinstalling of defective products (by way of example, for
products embedded into furniture and/or walls). Therefore, the CRISTINA S.r.l.
“standard warranty” does not include any charges, costs and/or damages caused
to the Coatings, furniture and/or furnishings due to or resulting from the
uninstalling of defective products and, after the intervention, subsequent
reinstallation and any damage to the product due to lack of use. CRISTINA S.r.l.
declines any liability for incorrect installation, use, maintenance and cleaning of
the products and/or non-conforming to the instruction manual and/or any warning
labels on the product packages or accompanying the products. Therefore,
CRISTINA S.r.l. cannot be held liable for malfunctions or faults attributable to
incorrect installation, use, maintenance and/or cleaning of the products purchased
and/or non-conforming with the instructions in the instruction manual and/or any
warning labels that appear on the product packages or that accompany the
products. Moreover, CRISTINA S.r.l. is not liable for any damage that may, directly
or indirectly, occur to persons, things or animals as a result of non-observance of
the requirements set forth in the product instruction manual and any warning
labels on the packaging of the products or accompanying the products
concerning, in particular, warnings regarding the installation, use, maintenance
and cleaning of the same. Unless otherwise clearly indicated on the warranty
certificate accompanying each product, the CRISTINA S.r.l. standard warranty
typically has a valid period of five years from the date of purchase by the end user
of products sold by CRISTINA S.r.l. to a Dealer. Please note that the financial
document (invoice or final purchase receipt) issued to the end-user at the time of
purchase will testify to the purchase date of the products - the date on which the
standard warranty takes effect. It should also be noted that in the absence of
documents proving the purchase, CRISTINA S.r.l. reserves the right to claim or
disclaim the warranty. The standard warranty is applied if the products sold by
CRISTINA S.r.l. were generally used and does not apply in the following cases: -
Incorrect use, installation, maintenance and/or cleaning of products or non-
compliant with the instructions in the instruction manual and/or any warning labels
on the packaging of the products or accompanying the products; - neglect,
damage, deterioration, lightning, atmospheric phenomena, over voltages and
over currents, insufficient or irregular power supply, force majeure, wear; - requests
for assistance under the standard warranty beyond the expiry stated in this Article;
- lack of a suitable financial document (invoice or tax receipt) proving the purchase
of the product; - damages caused during the transport of the products and/or due
to the customer and/or third parties, - failure to comply with the safety and/or
technical regulations required by the country where the product is used.
Furthermore, the standard warranty does not apply in the following cases: -
modification, tampering and/or use of non-original optional accessories provided
by third parties and applied to the products; - use of non-original CRISTINA S.r.l.
spare parts; - breakages and/or malfunctions due to frost, impurities of any kind
and/or foreign bodies present in pipes, limestone; - deterioration of finishes due
to the use of aggressive, acidic and/or abrasive products; - deterioration due to
chemical and electrochemical agents; - failure and/or unsuitable operation
resulting from high salinity and/or chlorine values in water; - failure and/or
inappropriate operation due to sand, debris and/or impurities existing in the
water; - failure to install appropriate pressure reducers and filters upstream of the
system and failure to install the filters product where provided; - pressures and/or
temperatures not conforming to the parameters indicated in the instruction
booklet and/or any warning labels on the packaging of the products or
accompanying the products; - breakages and/or malfunctions due to ferrous
scraps released by iron pipes and/or in poorly maintained condition; - technical
repairs and/or modifications of the products made by the end user, by technicians
and/or by third parties not expressly authorized by CRISTINA S.r.l., excluding
routine maintenance performed by the final user, according to the instructions
provided in the instruction booklet and/or any warning labels on the packaging of
the products or accompanying the products; - natural or social and political events
(such as, but not limited to, atmospheric events, fires, natural disasters, wars,
terrorist attacks, riots and/or agitation). Please note that this standard warranty
does not cover routine maintenance or the replacement of filters, nets, aerators,
cartridges and all parts which are considered “consumable” and/or subject to
normal wear and tear. It should also be noted that only CRISTINA S.r.l. can make
changes and/or integrations to this “standard warranty”, which are to be issued
through written communication. By signing these General Conditions of Sale for
acceptance, the Dealer expressly waives the legal guarantee and related actions
that the same may invoke against CRISTINA S.r.l. according to the law on legal
