    2. Miotto will endeavour to maintain the colours and shades of any Products but does not guarantee that there will not be slight differences between colours and shades from the catalogue or from one delivery to another delivery of Products. Miotto cannot ensure the accuracy of colour, grain or other characteristics of the Products.
    3. All data relating to the products as they appear in pricelists, catalogues and other documents is purely indicative. Miotto reserves the right to make any changes and improvements deemed most appropriate and which do not undermine the essential characteristics of the products.

    Payment for all Products shall be made in euro currency to Miotto in the manner and at the times specified in mutual agreement. The price shall be paid by Purchaser without charge of costs, according to the payment conditions stated in the order confirmation. Payment terms stated in the order confirmation, previously granted by Miotto and agreed with the Purchaser cannot be modified in any way owning to a binding business credit insurance policy which does not envisage the possibility to grant any payment delay to accounts receivable. Should the Purchaser infringe the agreed payment terms, fully or even partially, Miotto has the right to interrupt the dispatch of goods.

    3. Total or partial non payment of even just one invoice by the Purchaser, as well as the reduction of any possible guarantees provided, will automatically result in the loss of the benefit of the term with reference to any amount due to Miotto by the Purchaser himself.
  7. Delivery
    1. Delivery of Products is handled and executed Ex Works (Incoterms 2010), from Logatec, Slovenia. The Purchaser undertakes to nominate a forwarding agent or carrier within 14 days from communication by Miotto to the Purchaser that the Products are ready for despatch. If the Purchaser does not nominate a forwarding agent or carrier within this period or the forwarding agent or carrier nominated by the Purchaser does not promptly collect the Goods ready for delivery, the Purchaser will be obliged to compensate Miotto, as indemnity for storage in the warehouse, in the amount of 5% of the value of the order as indicated in the invoice and is calculated for every month or part thereof. In any case this amount shall not exceed the value of the goods purchased.
    2. The risk of loss and/or damage of the goods pass from Miotto for the Purchaser upon dispatch of the goods subject to the Sales contract. If the Purchaser or carrier appointed by the Purchaser does not take immediate possession of the goods or if Purchaser fails to provide timely pick-up instructions, any risk and extra charge related to such delay shall be shouldered by the Purchaser.

      The terms of delivery are “Ex Works (EXW)”, in compliance with the current Incoterms, unless clearly stated in written form in the order confirmation or in any other document.

      The number of pieces packed in a carton (as shown beside each model in the pricelist) is peremptory. Therefore the Purchaser accepts that, where products are packed in even quantities, items ordered in odd quantities are automatically adjusted according to even-number packing schemes.
    3. The delivery term agreed will be automatically suspended in the case of nonpayment or delayed payment by the Purchaser as indicated in Nonpayment section of this Terms and Conditions.
    4. Confirmed orders must be dispatched within 30 days from communication by Miotto to the Purchaser that the Products are ready for despatch. Pickup of the goods must be notified 24 hours prior to pickup, and during working hours of the Miotto warehouse.
    5. Any damage related to the shipment and/or any discrepancy with the shipping documents shall be notified when the goods are unloaded and marked on the same shipping documents. Lack of this notification implies that Miotto is not called to replace the damaged goods free of charge.
  8. Claims
    1. All claims for workmanship defects, shortages and errors must be made within 8 days after receipt of the Products. Failure to make a claim within this period of time constitutes acceptance of the Products and a waiver of claims. No merchandise can be returned to Miotto without its written consent. Unauthorized returns will be reshipped to the location of origin freight collect.
    2. In case of defects or non-conformity of the products related to the manufacturing process, Miotto assumes responsibility for replacing the defective product entirely or in its singular defective parts.
    3. Any complaint related to packaging, quantities, numbers or exterior features of the products (visible defects) must be communicated to Miotto by completing the “Claim form”. Complete documentation, including at least 5 clear and detailed pictures showing the nature of the defect, must be sent to Miotto at #EM#636d636a6976466a61667e7f63206a6a6378757d3a76797a#EM#, within 8 days from receipt of products. Failure to forward notification implies that the Purchaser waves the right to claim any such stated defects.
    4. Any complaint related to defects not visible after careful inspection of the goods at the time of delivery (hidden defects) must be communicated to Miotto, with complete documentation including at least 5 clear and detailed pictures showing the nature of the defect, to #EM#636d636a6976466a61667e7f63206a6a6378757d3a76797a#EM#, within 8 days of discovery of said defects and not later than within 12 months of delivery. Failure to forward this notification implies that the Purchaser surrenders any right to claim said defects.
    5. Imperfections on less visible parts of the products (underside of table tops, inside drawers, underside of sofas, etc.) are not considered defects and as such are not subject to claims.
  9. Warranty
    Miotto warrants its Products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of twelve months from the date of delivery. This limited warranty does not apply if Products have been altered, modified or have been subject to abnormal use, misuse or neglect, and does not extend to damage caused by shipping, accident, abuse, cleaning, or normal wear and tear, and is limited to repair or replacement of defective Products at the sole discretion of Miotto.

Purchaser shall not offer to its customers any warranty for the products other than the warranty above.

    Claimed products cannot be returned to the factory unless previously requested and authorised in writing by Miotto.

    Upon return of claimed items, Miotto carefully checks the conditions of the goods and if the damages are not imputable, to Miotto the claim is rejected and the replacement must be paid for.
    Should the goods be damaged during transport back to the factory, because they are not duly packed in the original carton or because the packing material used to keep the goods in good condition during transport is missing, Miotto shall have the right to charge the Purchaser with the necessarily expenses to repair the goods or to refused the returned goods.
    Replacements of the damaged goods are regularly invoiced. If the replaced goods are not returned within 30 days, Miotto shall refuse to take them back and shall request full payment.
