2. STRUCTURE OF CONTRACT

Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, the Customer agrees that each Order referring to the Conditions, and the relevant Order Confirmation from PRT, is a separate contract, legally independent from any others.
Each time the Customer submits an Order which is subject to the Order Confirmation by PRT the relevant Supply shall be subject to the further contractual conditions for Products, Systems and/or Services indicated in the Order and in the Order Confirmation which are part of the Contract.
In case of differences between the terms of the contractual documents, those contained in the Order Confirmation and in the Conditions prevail over those contained in the Order, and those contained in the Order Confirmation prevail over those in the Conditions. Any eventual general conditions applied by the Customer not expressly accepted in writing by PRT, also where indicated in the Order and/or on the reverse of the Order, shall not apply.
PRT’s Offer is valid only when transmitted in writing and for the period indicated in that Offer. No PRT agent or intermediary has the power to accept Orders on behalf of PRT. The Contract is stipulated between the Parties when PRT, after receipt of the Order, notifies the Customer in writing about the acceptance of the same by sending the Order Confirmation. Upon receipt of the PRT Order Confirmation, the Customer should verify all the information provided therein; it is considered accepted by the Customer if not challenged immediately in writing by the latter. The materials and services not expressly described in the Order Confirmation will be invoiced separately.

3. GENERAL TERMS

3.1 All the information exchanged by the Parties shall be considered non-confidential. If the Parties intend to communicate, receive, or exchange confidential information, they shall stipulate and sign a specific confidentiality agreement. 3.2 The Parties may communicate by electronic means and these communications shall be considered equivalent to a written document, having full contractual validity between the Parties, except as provided under mandatory provisions of applicable law. The identification code contained in an electronic document, albeit differing from a digital signature, shall be sufficient for the identification of the sender and the authenticity of the document.
In particular, the Parties expressly agree that any Order transmitted by electronic means will be considered equivalent to a signed paper document by the Parties, with the same compulsory and binding effect, except as provided under mandatory provisions of applicable law.
3.3. The Parties shall not undertake any legal, judicial, and/or extrajudicial action to protect their rights under the Contract, after the expiry of two years from the date of the event which entitles such action.
3.4. The transfer of the Contract within the PRT Company Group shall not require the Customer’s consent.
3.5. The Customer agrees that, at the care and expense of PRT, PRT can install on the Products/Systems any technical modifications considered mandatory by PRT (for example, those necessary for safety/security reasons). The parts removed become the property of PRT; the Customer declares that it has suitable authorization from the proprietor or holder of other rights, to transfer to PRT the ownership and possession of the parts removed.
3.6. The Customer is only responsible for the results obtained from the use of the Products, Systems or Services.
3.7. If any clause of the Contract is declared invalid or unenforceable, the remaining clauses of the Contract shall remain fully applicable and valid.

4. PRICES

Except as otherwise agreed in writing, the Price refers to a Supply delivered ex-factory and excluding packaging, VAT, customs duties and, in general tax or financial charges connected with sale and export.
The Prices agreed do not bind PRT in the case of changes to the quantities and/or qualities of the Products to be provided and shall be updated in the case of extension of the delivery schedule for the reasons foreseen under Article 8 (Delivery Schedule) of the Conditions.

5. PAYMENT & INVOICING

The Price shall always be paid via bank credit transfer to the account designated by PRT within the contractually established dates or, unless otherwise agreed, within 30 (thirty) days from the date the invoice is issued. The transfer of sums to PRT is always at the risk of the Customer, whatever means of payment is chosen. Any agreement on or the receipt by PRT of notes or documents of credit are understood as mere facilitation for the transaction, and grants PRT the right to reimbursement of the applicable interest, costs and commissions, is subject to clearance thereof, and does not change the place of payment, which remains as indicated above. In the case of late payment, the Customer shall pay PRT interest for late payment at the rate determined on the basis of Article 5 of Legislative Decree No. 231/2002, without prejudice to any further damages. When possible according to the Supply, PRT may split the invoicing of deliveries. In this case, each delivery will be billed separately, as per the contractually established payment terms. Any complaint by the Customer, including for delayed deliveries or incomplete Supply of non-essential parts, does not give the Customer the right to suspend or delay payment.
Except as explicitly agreed otherwise by the Parties, invoicing for the delivery of Products or Systems shall be done in full at shipment. Upon specific request of the Customer, the material furnished for the execution of works may be invoiced simultaneously with the execution and invoicing of the same.
In the case of labor services or on-site activities paid as consumed, PRT shall issue the relevant invoice simultaneous to the receipt of the PRT personnel time cards duly countersigned by the Customer.

6. SUSPENSION OF DELIVERIES

If the Customer fails to make one or more payment at the due date, or if it fails to fulfil any of its contractual obligations, then PRT has the right to suspend deliveries. After the completion of the Contract PRT may also suspend deliveries in the case where the Customer’s economic conditions change substantially, as in the case of one or more protests of bills, enforcement proceedings, establishment of pledges and/or mortgages, applications for temporary receiverships, composition with creditors, or termination of business.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Without prejudice to the mandatory provisions of law, the liability of PRT towards the Customer for direct damage under the Contract, any other kind of damage, and for any other existing form of damages and/or compensation envisaged by law and/or these Conditions and/or the Contract cannot in aggregate exceed 100% of the Price.
Without prejudice to the mandatory provisions of law, PRT shall not be required to compensate the Customer for loss of profits and/or any indirect and/or intermediate damage. In example but not limited to the following, PRT shall not be required to pay damages for loss of sales, loss of profit, loss of contract, and failure of the realized work to perform.
In any event, PRT shall not pay the Customer any damages that the Customer might be obligated to pay third parties for any reason.
In the case of a dispute over interpretation, the provisions of this article shall prevail over any eventual contrary other provision contained in the Conditions and/or the Contract.

8. DELIVERY SCHEDULE

The delivery dates run from the date of the latest among the following events:
 - from the date of the agreement between the Parties on all the delivery conditions.
 - from the receipt by PRT of the advance payment for the Order, where foreseen.
 - from the receipt by PRT of the technical data from the Customer or third parties designated thereby or from the approval of the PRT’s executive drawings and plans by the Customer, where foreseen.
 - from the receipt by PRT of the materials which must eventually be provided by the Customer or by a third party designated thereby.
 - when the Customer receives authorization to import the material(s) or to make the payments, where applicable.
To calculate delivery dates, weeks of 5 (five) working days, excluding public holidays, are considered. The delivery dates indicated are considered automatically extended in the case of unforeseen events for a period of time equivalent to the duration of the event itself. PRT will not therefore be liable, in any case and for any reason, for any direct or indirect damages caused by the delivery of materials later than the date indicated; the Customer, however, accepts delivery of the material ordered also after that date. The delivery date is further extended if the Customer does not perform its contractual obligations on time and, in particular:
 - if payments are not effected timely.
 - if the Customer does not provide the data necessary at the schedule time before or during processing.
 - if the Customer requests changes during the processing of the Order.
 - if the Customer delays delivery of material before or during the processing of the Order.
If delivery is not made for any reason due to events independent from PRT, the delivery is considered as made to all effects upon simple notice of completion of Supply.
By delivery date the Parties mean the date of issue by PRT of notice of goods ready or notice of shipment to the Customer, or consignment to the carrier or shipper indicated thereby in the Order, or in the notice of goods ready for testing.

9. DELIVERY – PACKAGING – SHIPMENT AND TRANSPORT

Except as otherwise agreed in writing, PRT delivers its Products and/or Systems ex-factory, by delivery of the same to the Customer or to a third party engaged thereby in time. Otherwise, the Customer authorizes PRT to select and appoint, on behalf of the Customer, a carrier or shipper, holding PRT harmless from any liability for the selection. The Products and/or Systems are always transported at the expense of the Customer and are not insured against risks deriving from transport, unless upon written request from the Customer contained in the Order with which the Customer undertakes to pay the relative costs. If the Customer fails to pick up the Products and/or Systems, PRT has the right to charge 1% (one percent) per month of the invoice value for storage costs (further to what is stated for late payment). Storage is provided at the Customer’s risk. The Customer is obliged to check the Products and/or Systems and report any eventual shortages/deficits before accepting delivery by the carrier and, thus, before signing the transport document for receipt. Any eventual latent defects must be notified to the carrier by registered letter, copied to PRT, within eight days of receipt of the Products and/or Systems. Otherwise the Customer loses its associated rights. The return of Products/Systems or packaging is not accepted without the prior written consent of PRT. In this case too, the Products/Systems are transported at the Customer’s own risk and expense.
The exclusion of packaging, in the case of goods for which it is normally used, or the use of special packaging, must be expressly requested by the Customer when placing the Order. PRT uses standard packaging materials and procedures, remaining explicitly discharged of any and all liability related to eventual faults and/or damages deriving from the packaging which, due to force majeure, the materials may suffer or cause during transport.
The material is always transported on behalf of the Customer and at the risk and liability thereof, also in the case of returns. The Customer must notify PRT of the necessary instructions for shipment and any other related measures, where PRT by contract is charged of this obligation; otherwise PRT will handle the shipment at the Customer’s expense, without taking any liability.

10. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES/DELAYS IN DELIVERY

Liquidated damages for delay are applicable only if expressly indicated in the Order Confirmation. Where PRT, in the case of delay, is required to pay liquidated damages in accordance to Article 1382 of the Italian Civil Code, the same shall be the sole remedy available for the Customer, thus expressly excluding reimbursement of any further damages. Liquidated damages are not due when the delay in the performance is attributable to an unforeseen circumstance or to an event not related with the direct responsibility of PRT. Liquidated damages shall be due only when the Customer has notified PRT by registered letter about its intention to apply the same and shall be due and applicable only from the date of receipt by PRT of such notification. In any case liquidated damages are not applicable where not demanded within 10 (ten) days from the delivery of the delayed Supply.
The Customer expressly renounces to set off the amounts due as liquidated damages with other sums due to PRT.

11. TRANSFER OF RISKS

The title of the Supply, and the related risks, shall pass to Customer from the day of delivery of Supply to the Customer directly or to the carrier, also where delivery is free of carriage or if assembly is included, or where transport is charged by PRT.
If shipment is delayed or becomes impossible due to reasons not attributable to PRT, the Supply remains in storage at the expense, risk and liability of the Customer.

12. FORCE MAJEURE

Force Majeure” shall mean any event beyond the reasonable control of the Parties, and shall include, without limitation, the following:
 (a) war, hostilities, or warlike operations whether declared or not, munitions of war,
 (b) rebellion, revolution, insurrection, riot, civil war, civil commotion, and terrorist acts,
 (c) confiscation, nationalization, mobilization, commandeering, sanctions, blockade, requisition or any other act or failure to act of any local state or national government authority,
 (d) strike, sabotage, lockout, embargo, blockade, industrial dispute, shipwreck, shortage or restriction of power supply, epidemics, quarantine, and plague,

 (f) munitions of war, explosive materials, ionizing radiation or contamination, nuclear and pressure waves, except as may be attributable to the Party’s use of it
 (g) actions or omissions by any state authorities, prohibition on exportation or importation of material or equipment or services.
If a Party is prevented, hindered or delayed from or in performing any of its obligations under the Contract by Force Majeure, then it shall give notice to the other Party and shall be excused performance of such obligations for so long as such Force Majeure prevents it from performing them. Force Majeure shall however not apply to any obligation of the Customer to make payments to the Contractor herein.
If the Contractor suffers delay and/or incurs cost by reason of such Force Majeure, the Contractor shall be entitled to an extension of time under the Contract including time required for demobilization/remobilization and if the event of Force Majeure occurs in the country where the Site is located, payment of any such cost.
If the performance of the Contract prevented, hindered or delayed for a single period of more than sixty (60) days or an aggregate period of more than ninety (90) days on account of Force Majeure either Party may terminate the Contract as provided

13. TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION

The Customer acknowledges to have been informed about the safety rules relevant to use of the Products.
PRT reserves the right to apply, at any time, such non-substantial modification to its Products or Systems as it shall consider appropriate, informing the Customer however if these can have an impact on the installation of the same.
If the Customer proposes technical modifications to the PRT scope of supply, as indicated in its Offer or in the designs submitted, in such that a way that the same have mandatory application, there must be full written agreement between the Parties both on the variations or modification that may cause in the Prices, and on the delivery date established previously. The presentation of proposed modifications does not suspend the validity of the Contract.

14. TESTS

The Customer has the right and the duty to notify, in due time, the intention of attending, at its own expense, routine tests of the materials at the PRT’s factories. In such event, PRT will notify the Customer with sufficient warning, the date on which the tests will be executed: if the Customer is not present on such date, the tests will be executed in any case and the results notified thereto.
When the Customer requires and PRT accepts further unplanned tests, these shall be at the Customer’s expense.
No later than 30 (thirty) days from completion of the works by PRT, the Customer, if so agreed, may request the inspection of materials at its premises or at the installation site, to verify their regular operation.
In this case, all the relevant costs, including travel, labor, transport of the inspectors, shall be borne by the Customer; these tests are executed at the Customer’s risk and liability, which must also take responsibility for the complete safety of the workplace, also as required by Article 26 below.
Once these tests are positively completed, or the aforementioned period has expired without the Customer requesting the said tests, the Supply is considered accepted by the Customer.
Where, at these tests, the Supply is found not to comply with the Contract, PRT shall be put in the position to eliminate the deficiencies as soon as possible. The repair of such defects constitutes the only remedy which PRT shall be required to implement, with express exclusion of the further damages or the termination of the Contract.

15. ASSEMBLY

Except as otherwise agreed, the installation of devices and assembly of components and, more in general, of the Supply are executed at the care and expense of the Customer.
Upon request of the Customer, the installation may be ordered from PRT at the Prices indicated at the date of request. The Customer must prepare the necessary works and connections in good time and provide all the hook-ups and preparation as necessary, including the safety of the premises where the installation is to be executed.

16. WARRANTY – CLAIMS

PRT guarantees the Supply according to the applicable law. Upon expiration, the warranty expires even if the devices have not been operated for any reason. In the case of faults, as long as this does not depend on assembly errors by the Customer or third parties, on incorrect use of the materials, lack of or incorrect maintenance, normal wear and tear, faults caused by inexperience or negligence by the purchaser or by transport, by the improper storage of the materials, or failure by the Customer to adopt measures to reduce eventual dysfunction, overload with respect to the contractual limits, by unauthorized intervention, by tampering or action effected by the Customer, to force majeure, PRT will, throughout the warranty period, repair or replace any defective part of Supply free of charge at its premises. No activity whatsoever (including repair or replacement) will be carried out by PRT outside its premises. Repair or replacement will be executed only if the Customer has performed all its obligations to that date.
The Customer may not suspend performance of the obligations in any case in which this warranty is invoked. The term for the repair or replacement of the faulty Supply will be agreed by PRT and the Customer. The shipment of any Supply claimed to be faulty by the Customer to PRT’s premises and subsequently by PRT to the Customer, shall be at the risk and under the responsibility of the Customer, who shall arrange adequate insurance coverage. The Supply repaired or replaced is shipped at the expense and risk of the Customer. Any dispute about a shipment has no effect on the remainder of the Supply. The Products replaced by PRT become the property of PRT.
The warranty period is 12 months from delivery of the Supply, even when the Supply has not been placed in service. Any claim regarding the Supply, machinery, plant or components not compliant with the specifications or the contractual documentation must be raised in writing, within a maximum term of 8 days from delivery, when the time limit for action expires. In the case of Systems, this term is 60 days from execution of the disputed service when the time limit for action expires.
In the case of latent defects, the terms indicated above run from the date of discovery. Once the warranty period has expired claims are not accepted, even for latent defects. Where the claim is timely and justified, PRT’s obligation is limited to replacement of the goods found not in compliance or repetition of execution of the non-compliant service, excluding all rights to the Customer to seek termination of the Contract and/or compensation of damages. With reference to the provision of spare parts, PRT reserves the right to provide material either from the original supplier or from equivalent supplier.
