Sales Terms & Conditions

All goods and services provided by mri are furnished only on the terms and conditions stated below

1. PURPOSE

These standard terms and conditions of sales apply to the relationship involving the supply of products by any company of Manuli Hydraulics Group (referred to below as MHG) to professional operators (referred to below as Buyer or Buyers).

2. SUPPLY ORDERING PROCESS

The Buyer may issue purchase orders to MHG in the following ways:

  • By fax
  • By e-mail
  • On-line, only in the case of Buyers previously authorized to do so by means of a suitable activation procedure. This activation is essential if orders are to be placed on-line.
    The Buyer activation is by allocation of an identity code (user-id) and password to enable it to be recognized each time an order is placed, and takes place by filling in and returning the schedule set out in the home page of MHG’s web site as described in the Request for Information section.
    The Buyer has the right to refuse the request for activation or cancel an existing activation.
3. CONTRACT FORMATION

All orders for MHG goods are subject to written acceptance by MHG by e-mail, fax or post. For on-line orders to MHG as described in point 2.C above, the authorized Buyer is first identified through his user-id and password, then selects the products, quantities and delivery address as guided by the system and issued the supply order. The order sent to MHG on-line is accepted only if specifically confirmed by this latter by e-mail, fax or post.

Any and all terms in Buyer’s purchase orders, acknowledgments, confirmations, or other business forms (“Buyer’s Forms”) which vary, conflict with or add to, or are in any way inconsistent with, the terms provided below are REJECTED by MHG and shall not be part of any agreement between the Buyer and MHG unless specifically agreed to in a writing document signed by MHG.
MHG’s acceptance of a purchase order or the commencement of performance by MHG shall neither change nor add to this Agreement; THE TERMS PROVIDED BELOW SHALL PREVAIL OVER ANY VARYING, ADDITIONAL OR CONFLICTING TERMS IN THE BUYER’S FORMS.
For all on-line orders, these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale, as available to the Buyer on the web site www.manuli-hydraulics.com, are applicable.

4. INFORMATION MADE AVAILABLE TO THE BUYER

Before the issue of the purchase order, MHG will provide the Buyer with all the commercial information on the products that it may require. In particular, California’s Proposition 65 regulations require specific identification of at least one or more chemical and a specific end-point. In order to comply with these regulations, the new warning requirements for products sold in California will be provided to consumers prior to or during purchase and they will generally include 1) an icon, 2) specific language and 3) a website address. After the order has been placed, MHG will inform the Buyer of the stages of the order through MHG service structure or, for those Buyers in possession of User_ID and Password, through MHG’s web site.

5. PRICES

MHG reserves the right to alter the prices, discounts and payment conditions in force when the contract is confirmed and the Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees upon such right.
However, any modifications will become effective after notification of these has been issued, and they will apply only to the part of the supply that has not been completed.
In such a case the Buyer may cancel the contract for the part not completed within 2 (two) weeks of the issue of notification of the increase and MHG shall have no liability, directly or indirectly, whatsoever.

6. TAXES

Prices do not include country, federal, state or local taxes, now or hereafter enacted, applicable to the goods sold, which tax or taxes will be added by MHG to the sales prices where MHG has the legal obligation to collect them, and will be paid by the Buyer or reimbursed by the Buyer to MHG if paid by MHG, unless the Buyer provides MHG with a proper tax exemption certificate.

7. SHIPPING, TITLE AND DELIVERY

Shipments shall be EXW as such term is defined in the Incoterms 2010, unless differently agreed upon in writing.
Shipping dates are approximate and are based to a great extent on prompt receipt by MHG of all necessary information from the Buyer.
MHG shall not be liable for any loss or expense incurred by the Buyer in the event that MHG fails to meet the specified delivery schedule(s) due to production or other delays due to unforeseen circumstances.
Buyer must collect the products within 5 working days from the declaration by MHG of readiness for shipment EXW.
For shipment FCA or FOB, Buyer must notify MHG with all necessary information for the shipment FCA or FOB within 10 working days from the declaration by MHG of readiness for shipment.
In case of not respect of the above mentioned period, MHG will have the right to terminate the order or to store the products at MHG’s warehouse at risk and expense of the Buyer at a rate of € 0,5 per day per pallet.
Unless differently agreed upon in writing, shipments shall be only for Lot or multiple of Lot for each product code.
The term “Lot” is the minimum order quantity for each product code as indicated in the current price list/catalogue and must be a multiple of the minimum quantity per product code.

8. WITHDRAWAL RIGHT

In case of communication by MHG of his impossibility to respect the shipping date indicated in the confirmation of order, and unless a new shipping date will be agreed upon in writing, the Buyer can, waiving any other rights, withdraw the order by means of written notice to be sent to MHG within 7 days from the communication of MHG.

9. RETURNS

MHG will accept returns only upon prior agreement and at conditions to be defined between the parties.

10. TOLERANCES

11. PAYMENT

Payment shall be made within the agreed upon period from the date of invoice, in the agreed upon currency at the address shown on the invoice.
If payment in full is not received by MHG by the due date, the Buyer shall be in breach hereof.
In the event of late payment, the Buyer will incur an interest charge calculated at the reference rate of the local national central bank plus 2 percentage points per year on the unpaid balance to cover the administration costs of collection.
Moreover, MHG reserves the right to suspend all further deliveries, to recover all unpaid materials and to require an immediate payment of all other claims.
Such charges may be in addition to other remedies exercisable by MHG.
The amount of credit may be changed or credit withdrawn by MHG at any time.
On any order on which credit is not extended by MHG, shipment or delivery shall be made, at MHG’s election, Cash on order (in whole or part), letters of credit with all costs of collection paid by the Buyer or other terms as agreed between the parties.

12. SUSPENSION OF THE CONTRACT

Should the Buyer fail to comply in whole or in part even with only one of the supply conditions or if there are any changes of any kind in the Buyer’s company name, form or trading capacity, as well as in the event of proven difficulty in meeting the payments to MHG or third parties, MHG will have the right to suspend any further deliveries and convert any premiums that have matured, bank transfers or other deeds of payment unless a suitable guarantee is issued.
