GENERAL SALES CONDITIONS

The order proposal or order is binding for the buyer. No order or order proposal submitted by the Customer shall be deemed accepted by Daken S.p.A. unless and until confirmed in writing. In case of inconsistencies between the purchase order and the offer – in terms of prices, characteristics, quantity and measures – Daken S.p.A. may ask for amendments or, if necessary, may decline the order. In the event of non-acceptance of the order proposal or of the order, Daken will return the possible down payment free of interests. Deliveries may be interrupted or suspended at any time if the Buyer’s commercial, economical or financial references do not guarantee a successful supply. After ten days from the previously mentioned suspension, should the conditions of legitimacy be still valid, the contract will be considered terminated, ipso iure, at the Buyer’s fault or expenses. Any oral or written clause not specified in the order proposal or in the order will be considered null and void, if Daken S.p.A. has not expressly accepted it.

2) Order cancellation

Should the Buyer ask for the order proposal/order cancellation prior to goods delivery, Daken S.p.A. will be entitled to keep the down payment made at the moment of the order proposal/order as compensation. Nonetheless, Daken S.p.A. reserves the right to execute the contract.

3) Delivery and dispatch

Delivery and dispatch are not binding. Starting from the expected date of delivery specified in the order confirmation, Daken has a grace period of 15 calendar days. Due to force majeure this period can be extended. In case of partially dispatched orders, the outstanding goods will be delivered with the following delivery.

4) Delivery and complaints

Any loss or damage to goods found on delivery must be notified in writing to the carrier on the transport document and reported to Daken S.p.A proven by documentary evidence. Further complaints for faulty goods shall be notified to the Company within eight days from the reception of the goods. After this delay, the goods are considered as accepted for all intents and purposes. Daken S.p.A. will replace faulty items only. They shall be sent back on a free delivery basis after Daken authorisation.

  • Damage and malfunctions due to normal use.

6) Payment terms

CUSTOMER SERVICE – F.A.Q.

The aim of Daken Customer Service is to satisfy the needs of international customers with the highest standards. For an efficient customer relationships management, we provide a handbook for problem solving and procedures.

What happens when you submit a purchase order to Daken?

Within 2 working days, the customer receives our Order Confirmation reporting quantities, prices, week of delivery (we use Friday as reference day) and special conditions agreed with the customer as an exception to general sales conditions. Unless any cancellation/amendment is notified to Daken within 2 days, the Order is considered accepted. If you do not receive our Order Confirmation, your order might not have been received, or could be missing. In such case, please contact us.

What happens when your goods are ready for dispatch?

After the dispatch of goods from our warehouse, we can send a delivery confirmation upon request of the customer. Any special condition previously agreed by the customer shall be mentioned on the delivery note in the “NOTES” section, on top of the page. In such case, please check they are mentioned.

What happens if delivered goods are partially missing or damaged?

Goods must be counted and checked by your staff, in the presence of the carrier. In case of a land transport, in section 18 of the CMR form the carrier or the driver shall report any remark or exception to the agreed terms. Marks such as “unexamined” or “waiting for inspection” (or similar) will not be accepted by carriers and will be considered as a confirmation of receipt of all the items in good conditions.
