The Supplier, at the moment of delivery, will provide also the necessary documentations, appropriate to the regular usage of the Products (such as, for instance, instruction manuals, manuals for the functioning, the installation and the assembling, guarantee certificates, etc.).

The Products will be considered as received at the time of the signature of the waybill by MULMIX personnel in charge of receiving the goods.

In case of late delivery or non-delivery, MULMIX will have, of its choice, the following powers:

  1. Demand the immediate execution of the Supply Contract, in full or in part, notwithstanding the provisions of section (iii); and/or

MULMIX will make the payment in the manner and within the deadline indicated in the Supply Contract, subject to the receipt of invoices, duly completed, as well as of every type of related documentation, where the law so requires.

The Supplier will remain in any case responsible for the quality of supplied Products, also in the case of inspection by MULMIX at the moment of their receipt.

The complaint against possible faults and/or defects must be made by MULMIX within 60 (sixty) days from their discovery. In this case MULMIX can, at its own unquestionable choice, make use of one of the following options:

  • To reject non-compliant Products or the whole batch to which these belongs; all the expenses for the returning will be borne by the Supplier.

In any case, MULMIX has the right to seek compensation for the possible greater damage deriving from the defects/non-conformity of the Products. If the Supplier does not proceed immediately to remedy reported defects, MULMIX is authorized, in case of urgency and, in particular, to avoid immediate risks or prevent greater damage, to carry out directly or indirectly, through third parties, each appropriate re-work, at the expense of the Supplier.

The costs related to the supply of defected Products, in particular concerning operating costs and costs for the analysis of the problem, transport, processing and labour costs, the cost of scrapped materials in the selection or reprocessing, line stop (at MULMIX or at the final client), shipment of material to be analyzed, audit at the Supplier, materials or costs for inspections or checks will be borne by the Supplier.

The Parties agree that if MULMIX disputes the supply for whichever cause or reason, MULMIX can suspend the related payment until the dispute will be solved satisfactorily for MULMIX.

The payment of the invoices does not represent the acceptance of the Products by MULMIX who will have the right to challenge the supply and to repeat the payment towards the Supplier besides the compensation for all damages suffered, without exception.

In the event that final customers, third parties or Italian foreign or supranational authorities, at any time, challenge MULMIX for the non-compliance with the laws concerning safety, health and environmental protection and/or construction standards and/or type approval rules etc. as a result of stated defects, non-compliance with legislative or regulatory requirements, non-assurance or lack of security of the Products, the Supplier, without prejudice to his responsibilities, where appropriate, towards the damaged part or towards the authorities, will be obliged to indemnify MULMIX in respect of the competent authority and/or the damaged part.

The Supplier should bring evidence to MULMIX of having signed an adequate insurance policy for the coverage of the warranty and of product liability.

9. STOCKS

The Supplier undertakes to keep at its own stores, at its expenses and for the whole duration of the supply, an adequate reserve of the Products evaluated on the basis of monthly requirement indicated in supply programs, and to restore it immediately in case of use in order to respect Purchase Orders.

10. REASONS OF FORCE MAJEURE

In the event that the Supply Contract cannot be executed on time because of the occurrence of circumstances of force majeure, the delivery terms are extended and the new term will be established by mutual agreement between MULMIX and the Supplier in relation to the impediment (in this regards, it is clarified that the responsibility of the Supplier is never excluded in case of strike).

This is provided that the Supplier has urgently informed MULMIX, by fax confirmed by registered mail or certified email (p.e.c.), of the onset of the circumstance of force majeure and it has taken all the necessary measures capable of limiting the effects.

The circumstance of force majeure cannot be invoked when it arises after the deadline of the delivery date agreed by both Parties.

Moreover, it is specified that delays by sub-suppliers will not be considered as reasons of force majeure, unless proof that these retards were caused by force majeure is given.

If the circumstance of force majeure is such as to lead to a delay in the delivery incompatible with MULMIX’s productive needs (suspension of production), the latter will have the right to supply the Products to third parties.

11. LEGISLATIVE REGULATIONS

The Supplier must respect the laws concerning the treatments of its employees, environmental, health and safety protection in the workplace.
