The sale price and the advance payment that the Customer shall pay with the order confirmation are indicated in G&C's supply offer, which is then accepted by the Customer. Unless otherwise agreed, the prices may be subject to revision and variation according to the variation of the manufacturing costs of the goods (merely indicative and not exhaustive, as for raw materials, labour, energy, packaging, fixed percentages). All obligations of G&C in the supply of goods, understood the obligation to start the execution of the written order and delivery are subject to payment by the Customer at the purchase price of the goods as indicated and quantified in detail in the G&C supply offer. G&C will therefore not be responsible in any way for delays in deliveries if such delays are due to failure to fulfill the obligation to pay the price, which is a condition for the start of the execution of the contract.

Transfer of goods and delivery term. Retention of title

In cases where the delivery is EXW or FCA, G&C delivers the goods by placing them at the disposal of the Customer at its owned factory or at the forwarder chosen by the Customer, who will bear all the transport costs for the goods till the destination. From the moment the goods are made available at its owned factory or at forwarder, the Customer will bear all risks of loss, or damage to the goods, even if dependent on transport. The delivery term for G&C can never be considered mandatory and essential. G&C will keep the Customer informed in advance of delivery times, shipment of the goods and any other fact deemed necessary for the purpose of the supply. In case that G&C agrees to deliver the goods as an exception before having first received the full payment of the price, the ownership of the goods will pass to the Customer only with the full payment. In such cases, the Customer must take all possible measures to guarantee the conservation and integrity of the goods, stipulating a suitable insurance policy of which he will provide a copy to G&C.
