Artículo 1.- Purpose
This document sets out the General Conditions of Sale and Services (hereinafter the “GCS”) which will govern all commercial transactions between the company ENDURANCE MOTIVE, S.A. (hereinafter “ENDURANCE MOTIVE”) and the CLIENT, and automatically becomes a Contract between the parties, which begins to be in force as soon as an Offer is accepted by the CLIENT, and remains in force throughout the commercial relationship between ENDURANCE MOTIVE and the CLIENT. In other words, the acceptance of an Offer implies the prior knowledge and express and unreserved acceptance by the CLIENT of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, which apply in all their provisions, unless otherwise expressly stated in the Order Acceptance, in which case they apply by priority. These Terms and Conditions of Sale are considered to have been communicated to the CLIENT from the moment that the CLIENT is informed of the website where they are located, or if the CLIENT has received them in the context of its commercial relationship with ENDURANCE MOTIVE. ENDURANCE MOTIVE reserves the right to modify these GCS. Last revision: JULY 2018.
These GCS will be valid unless a special agreement between ENDURANCE MOTIVE and the CLIENT is expressly included in the Order Acceptance. Henceforth, ENDURANCE MOTIVE and the CLIENT will be jointly referred to as “the parties”. In these GTC and in any order or offer, the following words shall have the following meaning:
“Offer”: document offering the performance of the Product by ENDURANCE MOTIVE and addressed to the CLIENT, which includes the technical characteristics of the Product, as well as its number, prices, delivery time and validity.
“Acceptance of the Offer” or “Order”: document in which the CLIENT accepts ENDURANCE MOTIVE’s Offer under the conditions set out in the Offer and in accordance with these GCS, and which also formalises each of the requests or orders for Products made by the CLIENT to ENDURANCE MOTIVE in accordance with these GCS.
“Acceptance of the Order”: document by which ENDURANCE MOTIVE accepts the Order or the Acceptance of the Offer made by the CLIENT, under the conditions established in the Offer and in accordance with these GCS. The contract is deemed to have been concluded at the time when ENDURANCE MOTIVE notifies the CLIENT of the acceptance of the Order.
“Product”: a set of MOTOR ENDURANCE goods whose technical characteristics are set out in the MOTOR ENDURANCE Supply Offer.
ENDURANCE MOTIVE reserves the right to make modifications to the quality of the materials or to the configuration of the product, provided that these modifications do not affect the guarantee and operation of the product.
“Working day”: means any day (other than Saturday or Sunday) that is not a public holiday in the Valencian capital.
Artículo 2.- Entry into force and duration
The GCS will take effect from the moment the CLIENT accepts the Offer, and will remain in force for the entire duration of the commercial relationship between ENDURANCE MOTIVE and the CLIENT, as established in the Offer.
Artículo 3.- Contractual process: Offers and orders
ENDURANCE MOTIVE will send or communicate to the CLIENT its Offer to supply the Product, with the technical characteristics of the Product, as well as its number, prices, delivery time and validity. The CLIENT will proceed with the acceptance of this OFFER and the specific order or request for products in accordance with these GCS in the same document. Acceptance of the offer and the order by the CUSTOMER must be made in writing, by fax or by e-mail. Acceptance of an Offer by the CLIENT implies acceptance of these GCS, which must be understood as an integral part of each Offer and each Order Acceptance, even if these documents do not expressly refer to them, so that all the terms, conditions and particular specifications included or attached to the CLIENT’s Order will not be effective or valid, unless they have been included in the Order Acceptance by ENDURANCE MOTIVE. Orders placed by any CLIENT constitute a firm promise to purchase by the CLIENT, although they are not considered to be accepted by ENDURANCE MOTIVE until the CLIENT has notified Order Acceptance in writing by e-mail. In case of agreement, ENDURANCE MOTIVE will notify the CLIENT of the Order Acceptance made by the CLIENT under the conditions established in the Offer and in accordance with these GTC, unless the parties agree on a particular condition which must be expressly included in the Order Acceptance.
Artículo 4.- Delivery, transport and reception conditions
The delivery times established in the Offer are considered as guidelines; therefore, the specific delivery times are confirmed by ENDURANCE MOTIVE with the Acceptance of the Order and start from the working day following the date on which the CLIENT has received the Acceptance of the Order.
ENDURANCE MOTIVE does not incur any penalty, sanction or obligation of compensation for unforeseen and duly justified situations that prevent the timely delivery of the Order, in particular, it does not incur any penalty in the event of a delay in the delivery of the Order resulting from the delay or lack of supply by ENDURANCE MOTIVE’s suppliers of the components necessary for the manufacture of the Product. By default, delivery of the Product to the CLIENT must be made ex works EXW (Loriguila), interpreted in accordance with the Incoterms in force on the date of Acceptance of the Order, which is why the Prices set out in these GCS do not include transport, loading and unloading, or insurance at the delivery address. The CUSTOMER has the right to cancel the Order placed, only in the event of a manifest breach of MOTIVE ENDURANCE, in terms of the delivery time for the entire Product, and only if this breach of delivery within the established time limit (i) is not rectified within a reasonable period of time; or (ii) is not justifiable in accordance with the provisions of these GCS. Furthermore, ENDURANCE MOTIVE reserves the right to extend the delivery time of the Product during the period in which the CUSTOMER does not comply with an obligation contracted with ENDURANCE MOTIVE, without prejudice to the right to cancel the acceptance of the order in accordance with these GCS. The CLIENT is obliged to check the condition of the Product received immediately. In the event of total or partial deterioration being observed, the CLIENT must inform ENDURANCE MOTIVE in writing within a maximum period of forty-eight (72) hours, expressly indicating the defects observed. After this period, it will be understood that the Product has been accepted by the CLIENT. If, within this period, the CLIENT notifies ENDURANCE MOTIVE of a significant defect in the Product received, ENDURANCE MOTIVE may choose to repair or replace the Product or to accept its return. ENDURANCE MOTIVE can make partial deliveries and invoice these deliveries separately. These partial deliveries do not release the CUSTOMER from its obligation to purchase the remainder of the order.
Artículo 5.- Prices and terms of payment
The price of the Product will be established in the Offer and confirmed in the Acceptance of the Order by ENDURANCE MOTIVE. The referenced price is always EXW, exclusive of taxes, additional packaging, transport, among others, unless the Parties agree in writing to establish other conditions and these are expressly included in the Order Acceptance.
One hundred percent (100%) of the price will be paid, by bank transfer or in cash, at the time of shipment of the product by ENDURANCE MOTIVE.
All payments must be made in Euros. The invoice will be issued once the amount has been credited to the bank account of ENDURANCE MOTIVE.
The Product remains the property of ENDURANCE MOTIVE until the CLIENT has fulfilled all its obligations arising from the business relationship and until all sums due by the CLIENT under the relevant Order Acceptance or other previous Order Acceptances have been paid in full by the CLIENT to ENDURANCE MOTIVE, including, where applicable, damages, costs, late payment interest or any other sum due by the CLIENT to ENDURANCE MOTIVE.
ENDURANCE MOTIVE will inform the CUSTOMER by e-mail of the availability of the product after its manufacture for delivery. The CUSTOMER undertakes to pay the price to ENDURANCE MOTIVE within a maximum period of FOURTY- EIGHT (48) hours from receipt of the notice of availability of the Product. Otherwise, ENDURANCE MOTIVE is entitled to store this product in a warehouse at the expense and risk of the CLIENT and to demand payment, including storage costs, as if it had actually been delivered. If the CLIENT has not paid for the Product within five (5) calendar days from the end of the previous forty-eight (48) hour period, ENDURANCE MOTIVE may freely dispose of it, but undertakes to provide the Order established in the document “Order Acceptance” within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of payment of the Product by the CLIENT.
In the event of late payment, the sums owed by the CLIENT shall, without prior formal notice, bear annual interest at the EURIBOR rate in force on the due date, plus five (5) percentage points.
In addition, the CUSTOMER undertakes to pay the costs incurred by ENDURANCE MOTIVE for the recovery of the sum due.
