These Terms and Conditions shall be applied in all matters, even if they are not expressly stated in the offers or order acceptance documents. If parts of these terms and conditions become ineffective, the reduction that preserves the validity and the sense and purpose that comes closest to the ineffective provision shall apply.
DEFINITION OF TERMSCLAUSE 1

SELLER/DELIVER/SERVICE PROVIDER: JFJ GmbH
CUSTOMER/BUYER/CUSTOMER: The natural or legal person who purchases the Product under these T&C.
PRODUCT/Goods: The materials, component parts, products, equipment and/or services to be supplied.
b) The product to be delivered under these Terms and Conditions is exclusively that which is specified in the respective offer / order form / invoice.
c) These Terms and Conditions apply to the delivery of any kind of products marketed by JFJ GmbH, regardless of the way in which the contracting parties formulate or formalize the respective agreement. Any change or amendment to these T&C must be agreed upon by signature or at least in writing with corresponding counterconfirmation by JFJ GmbH, otherwise it is invalid.
INFORMATION USE
CLAUSE 2
All designs, documents or technical information relating to the product may not be used for purposes other than the assembly, installation or maintenance of the product itself without the express consent of JFJ GmbH.
VALIDITY
CLAUSE 3
a) Offers that do not specify an expiration date are understood to be non-binding. The prices and other conditions of the offers are indicative and require further confirmation by JFJ GmbH in the form of an order confirmation.
b) The data contained in the appendix, such as catalogs, illustrations, drawings, technical documents, etc., are for orientation purposes only and do not constitute any obligation on the part of the supplier. Claims cannot be derived from this.
ENTRY INTO FORCE OF THE AGREEMENT
CLAUSE 4
The contract comes into force when JFJ GmbH informs the customer in writing about the acceptance of the order or the order and the customer has fulfilled his obligations until then.
PRICES
CLAUSE 5
a) Unless otherwise stated, the prices indicated are for the Product excluding transport and without packaging (ex works), at the Supplier’s warehouses, and are based on Euro parity with the currencies of the countries of origin of the Products at the time of the offer. In the event of a change in this parity, the Supplier reserves the right to change the prices proportionally.
b) In addition, prices are calculated on the basis of the cost price at the place of origin, transportation, insurance, customs duties, customs fees, taxes and exchange rates in force on the date of each offer, so that the change of any of these elements will change the corresponding price, which may be subsequently corrected.
GENERAL TERMS OF PAYMENT
CLAUSE 6
a) The Supplier shall determine the respective specific payment terms for the delivery of the Product(s).
b) If after the expiry of 14 (fourteen) days from the date of the invoice no other period has been agreed between the parties and the relevant amount has not been received, it shall be considered overdue, which shall eliminate the Supplier’s obligation to deliver and perform the contract (if any).
c) In the case of invoicing for partial deliveries, payment shall be made within the agreed payment periods for each partial delivery.
d) The Supplier shall charge the Purchaser fees in the statutory amount (default interest) on the value of invoices that are not paid when due.
e) Payments not made on the agreed terms shall entail on the part of the Supplier the full right to appropriate compensation, in particular:
- The forced collection of the amounts owed, with all related costs, both judicial and extrajudicial, to be borne by the buyer/principal; or
- The cancellation or termination of the respective contract, whereby all costs related to the cancellation of the order, including also the repatriation of equipment and capital immobilization, shall be borne exclusively by the customer. f) No claim on the part of the customer can justify delays in payment or missed payments.
RETENTION OF TITLE
CLAUSE 7
All delivered goods remain the property of the supplier until they have been paid for in full. The customer undertakes to take all necessary measures to protect the property.
DELIVERY DEADLINE
CLAUSE 8
a) The delivery term is set for normal working conditions, so the Client may be forced to review it if situations of force majeure occur. b) From the information contained in para. a) mentioned reason, the supplier cannot be held liable for direct or indirect damages resulting from the delay in the delivery of orders due to delays in the delivery of machinery, raw materials or parts to be purchased on the market or imported from abroad. c) in case of foreign production and the necessity of import, some products can be delivered only after the payment of the same to the manufacturers, for which the presence of foreign currency for import is necessary and in case of non-presence or delay the supplier cannot be held responsible.
- d) The supplier can also not be held responsible for compliance with the established deadlines if there is a delay in the delivery by the customer of elements that are essential for the execution of the respective order. e) The Customer’s delay in fulfilling the obligations affecting the delivery term allows the Supplier to delay the same.
- f) Since the respective contractual offer is formulated as “pending sale”, it shall be deemed valid only if the products that are the subject of the delivery are in stock at the time of receipt of the respective order.
- the buyer/client has the right to a price reduction proportional to the devaluation of the product, limited to a maximum of 10% of the sales price;
- the purchaser/client may withdraw from the contract if the defect is so substantial that it permanently impairs the intended use.
