Terms and conditions

General

The terms and conditions set forth below shall apply to all offers/quotations, order confirmations, delivery notes, invoices and in general to all services performed or confirmed by INDUSTRIAS UGATU, S.L., hereinafter referred to as UGATU.

Minimum order

The minimum value per order within the Spanish market will be 50 euros for orders placed by means other than the Online Store. Orders of lower value will be accepted if they are placed via the Online Store.

In both cases the minimum per line is 8 euros if the order consists of several orders.

Offers

All offers of UGATU shall be made and presented without obligation. They are to be considered as an approximation to facilitate the business relationship and without any contractual obligation. This obligation shall arise with the "order confirmation" by UGATU, not before.  Furthermore, the product specifications submitted shall be based for the most part on DIN/ISO/EN or UNE standards, and the greatest possible accuracy shall be given where these do not exist. 

The prices of the offers made shall be valid for 10 days EXCEPT SALE or unless there are abrupt changes (>5%) in the cost of RAW MATERIALS used in their production.

Prices

The prices indicated are always considered EX WORKS (EXW, Incoterms 2010). 

In Spain the goods will be sent carriage paid within the peninsular territory, if the value of the goods exceeds 700 € (DDP, Incoterms 2010). In case the shipment is to be made to the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, or Balearic Islands (DAP, Incoterms 2010, which exempts the costs of customs clearance and taxes in the Canary Islands), if it exceeds 1500€.

Prices are per unit of product. Payment must be made in euros unless otherwise agreed between both parties.

Payment methods

The first transaction between the customer and UGATU shall be paid prior to shipment of the goods. For all other transactions, a form of payment shall be agreed with UGATU, which shall be based on the credit opinion of an independent Official Risk Insurer.

In case of default of payment, interest of 1.5% per month in arrears will be charged on the accrued amount. In addition, 50€ will be charged for each payment reminder. In both cases, the charges will be executed on demand.

We reserve the right to adjust prices without prior notice due to changes in currency exchange rates or other market changes. Our price lists and offers are only binding within the conditions specified herein.

Delivery dates, product delays and quantities to be delivered

The delivery dates and quantities agreed upon must be adhered to as closely as possible, subject to the availability of materials at the time of order confirmation and acceptance by our suppliers.

     1) The delivery period  (date of departure) shall be calculated from the time when the contract is concluded, payments due have been made or secured and the most important technical points have been clarified.
The delivery dates given are only estimates and are not binding. They may be extended appropriately in the following cases:

If all necessary information required to fulfill the contract is not received within the agreed period or if such information has subsequently been altered.
If the supplier or third parties, in particular, our subcontractors, make a delivery or provide a service after the established deadline.
If we, the supplier or a third party,in particular our subcontractor, are subject to obstacles or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control (such as force majeure, wars, international conflicts, riots, shortages of commodities, interruption of power supply, epidemics, strikes, etc. ....).


     2) The quantities to be delivered may vary by +-5% (to be added to the condition of the minimum quantity per box) for standard material and up to +-10% for deliveries made according to the customer's special requirements. We disclaim any liability for damages caused by late delivery or delivery of a smaller quantity of products than requested.

Refunds

The customer must notify us of any defect immediately or, at the latest, within eight days from the reception of the products. For proper handling, our lot number, which appears on our boxes, and / or photo of the label on our boxes is essential.

All our warranties and customer complaints are subject to the limitation periods established by law. Complaints and claims must always be made in writing. Upon receipt of the complaint or claim UGATU is entitled to examine the defect or damage which is the subject of the complaint or claim, with the examination being carried out by one of our employees or by an independent expert of our choice.

Complaints by the customer regarding the quality and quantity of the product, etc., shall not give the customer the right to cancel the order. 
Returns will only be accepted under the conditions agreed upon in writing in each case.

Cancellations

If the other party wishes to cancel the contract, Ugatu is entitled to charge 20% of the total agreed price as cancellation fee, with a minimum of 25€ per line. However, UGATU reserves the right to claim full compensation in case the material to be returned is not for regular consumption and has been brought by express order of the customer (delivery time different stock). UGATU will never be obliged to accept a cancellation.
UGATU reserves the right to cancel shipment commitments if the customer´s financial condition is affected by a material adverse effect or if the customer claims to be in a different financial condition than actual.

Warranty, disclaimer of liability

We guarantee product qualities in accordance with the individual product standards, DIN/ISO/EN or UNE and the corresponding technical terms of delivery. In connection with customer-specific products, we guarantee product quality in accordance with the order documents specifying the delivered products.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing and signed by both parties, the acceptance plan according to DIN 267 part 5 for mechanical connecting elements shall apply.

     ·         Quality System


UGATU was certified by TÜV Rheinland under ISO9001 for the first time in 2005 and has been renewing this certification annually since then.
In compliance with the requirements, internal quality controls are carried out on UGATU products and services, and certificates (2.1 Product Conformity, 3.1, etc. ....) are issued if customers request them sufficiently in advance. For this purpose, we use the equipment available in our laboratory and in external laboratories of recognized prestige such as AZTERLAN.
With the same objective, our suppliers and subcontractors will be monitored and evaluated.
     ·         Approval of suppliers/creditors


In compliance with the requirements of the new ISO 9001:2015 standard, and more specifically with the obligation to provide information to suppliers and subcontractors on the monitoring and evaluation carried out on them, we inform you that:


To be approved as a UGATU supplier, the following steps must be followed:

     1.-Suppliers worked with prior to the implementation of the Quality System are considered as approved by history.
     2.-The rest must present quality certificates of the system or of the products to be served, or product samples that will be examined to certify that they comply with the applicable technical specifications, drawings, or standards.


The initial supplier approval is reviewed and updated at least annually. This re-evaluation is based on the analysis of detected non-conformities, returns to the supplier, compliance with delivery deadlines and the quality of the supply or service provided.

Title reservation

Until ownership is transferred to the other party, the other party shall not be entitled to create any rights with respect to the delivered goods or to give the goods in use to a third party under any title whatsoever.
