General Sales & Terms Conditions

Updated 17 December 2019

The images of the products are purely for indication purposes and do not necessarily represent their appearance. The technical and dimensional specifications of the product are purely for illustrational purposes and can change at any time without prior notification. In particular, for the EXPO VISUAL line, it is emphasised that the data represented must be considered information without any binding value and, as a result, do not excuse the client from carrying out controls before proceeding with creating the print.

The rolls of adhesive films supplied at the desired length could contain joints. For supplies of rolls that do not contain joints it is necessary to specify it in the notes of the basket when you place the order.

Other than the sales terms indicated for each product, the following terms are also valid:

Art. 1 – Guarantee and liability
SIR VISUAL SRL guarantees the products distributed comply with the technical specifications declared on the packaging, on the technical bulletins and the use or instruction manuals issued by the manufacturers. In the event of non-conformity of the product, the liability of SIR VISUAL SRL is intended in any case limited solely and exclusively to its replacement. SIR VISUAL SRL will not replace the product nor account for any damages that the client endures due to improper storage, use or marketing of products, nor in the event of non-compliance with the instructions provided by SIR VISUAL SRL . In the event of products purchased from the Outlet section in which its notes state the writing 2nd choice or product with possible defects, it is not possible to ask for reimbursement or replacement as these were taken into account in the price.

Art. 2 - Product suitability
The client must ensure the suitability of the product for its intended use, assuming each risk and liability deriving from its use. In the specific case of products requiring assembly and purchases for subsequent assembly by the client, to compose customised solutions, the client is obliged to consult all the documents containing technical information useful for correct assembly of these solutions. For products purchased in the Outlet section with the writing “2nd choice” or “product with defects”, no reimbursement or replacement will be given.

Art. 3 – Information and support
SIR VISUAL SRL is committed, on the client's request, to providing all the useful information for optimal use of the materials to the best of its knowledge.

Art. 4 – Transport
The client is responsible for transport costs and liability. On delivery by the carrier, it is important to inspect the packages and check the outer packaging or the goods are not damaged. In the event of visible damage, clearly write on the way bill the extent and type of damage and make a copy of the note to send with the claims form on the website www.sirvisual.it, within 7 days, attaching photographs of the relevant damage and declaring the material cannot be used. Also in the case of hidden damage, which is not externally visible, notify SIR VISUAL SRL within 7 days of the date the goods were received, using the same method as above. SIR VISUAL SRL cannot replace or reimburse damaged material if "goods unchecked” is not specifically written on the way bill. If transport is managed by SIR VISUAL SRL (carriage paid with charge) the cost is that established in its pricelists or rather as agreed each time with the Sales Manager; the goods are intended delivered free on board and the unloading operations from the lorry under the care and liability of the client. If transport is managed by the client (carriage forward), SIR VISUAL SRL has no faculty to intervene and/or monitor deliveries and cannot assume any liability for transport.

Art. 5 – Delivery terms
SIR VISUAL SRL is committed to complying with the agreed delivery terms. The events that prevent or delay delivery of materials such as, by way of example but not limited to, delayed supply of raw materials, importation restrictions, strikes (also company) and other events that prevent or delay production and/or processing, are conventionally considered force majeure and SIR VISUAL SRL cannot be held liable for delivery delays. In the aforementioned cases, SIR VISUAL SRL may delay delivery for the duration of the causes of the delay.

Art. 6 - Claims
Claims, of any kind, without prejudice to those outlined in the previous Art. 4 – Transport, must be submitted in writing to SIR VISUAL SRL within 3 months of receiving the material, after which time the client's right to claims due to faults and/or poor quality and/or deformity of materials sold expires. The website www.sirvisual.it provides a claims form for submission. Without prejudice to the opportunity for the client to send our company a written claim without using this form, as long as such communication contains all the information and documents required and communication is sent via registered post to our headquarters in compliance with the terms indicated. SIR VISUAL SRL will examine the validity of the dispute by examining the contested goods, sent by the client to SIR VISUAL SRL on request, or by visiting the client, if agreed.

Art.7 – Right of termination or withdrawal
The sale online of SIR VISUAL SRL products is governed by Art. 50 – 68 of the Consumer Code (Leg. Decree 6 September 2005, no. 206 and subsequent amendments) and the EU directive (2011/83/EC). This standard favours the right of the consumer to terminate contracts or contractual proposals, guaranteeing the right to return the purchased product or reimburse the expense sustained. The client has the right to revoke his/her order within 14 (fourteen) days of the date of goods delivery. This right consists of the faculty to return the goods purchased to SIR VISUAL SRL and subsequent reimbursement of the purchase price and the delivery expenses (with the exception of additional costs deriving from a delivery that is not standard delivery). Within 14 (fourteen) days, the client can terminate the contract without providing any explanation. Having received the Accepted Return from Customer Service, the client has 14 (fourteen) days to fully return the goods. Termination must be communicated via registered letter (email, fax or telegram) with receipt notification to:
