The website: www.china-ribs.com is the property of the RIB’S company
Clause No. 1: Purpose
The general conditions of sale described below detail the rights and obligations of the company RIB’S and its customer in the context of the sale of goods and services offered on the website: www.china-ribs.com
Any service performed by the RIB’S company therefore implies the buyer’s unreserved acceptance of these general conditions of sale.
Clause No. 2: FOB price
The prices of the goods sold are those in effect on the day the order is taken. They are denominated in euros and calculated in FOB (Free On board)
Under Free on Board, RIB’S is responsible for delivering the goods to the port of departure, clearing them for export and loading the goods onto the ship. Once the goods are on the vessel, the risk passes from the seller to the buyer, who is now responsible for all subsequent costs.
Maritime transport as well as all costs upon arrival therefore remain the responsibility of the customer.
This also means that the customer will need to find a freight forwarder to handle this entire part of the shipping.
Concerning shipments by air, rail or road, the mode of operation remains the same.
Transport as well as all costs upon arrival remain the responsibility of the customer.
The RIB’S company grants itself the right to modify its prices at any time. However, it undertakes to invoice the goods ordered at the prices indicated when the order is registered.
Clause No. 3: product manufacturing time
The manufacturing time indicated when registering the order is given for information purposes only and is in no way guaranteed.
Consequently, any delay in the delivery of the products cannot give rise to the benefit of the buyer:
- the award of damages;
- cancellation of the order.
The risk of transport is borne entirely by the buyer.
Clause No. 4: Information and availability of products
All items on the site presented for sale are reserved for professionals.
The items on the site are offered for sale while stocks last.
Some products may be out of stock when you place your order.
This may be a permanent unavailability, or an item temporarily out of stock. In this case we will inform you as quickly as possible regarding restocking times.
Any unavailability of products or delay in supply cannot give rise to the liability of the RIB’S company.
The quantity delivered per item compared to the quantity placed when ordering, may vary by more or less 10% depending on the manufacturing constraints of our suppliers, or compliance with packaging.
The photographs and texts illustrating the articles are given for information purposes only.
In the event of an error, the RIB’S company cannot be held responsible.
Clause No. 5: Shipping of goods
As you can see from the products you can order on our website: www.china-ribs.com, we have the goods manufactured in different countries.
Only items manufactured in the same country can give rise to a grouping and a single shipment.
But be careful, this is not an obligation.
It is only once in possession of your order that RIB’S will offer you the most suitable transport solution.
Under no circumstances will we be able to group together products from different countries.
We will therefore only be able to carry out shipments, country by country.
Clause No. 6: Complaint and return
Any return cannot be accepted without prior written agreement from the company RIB’S. In the event that the customer plans to return the products to us without our authorization, the latter will be kept at the customer’s disposal and cannot under any circumstances give rise to to a credit.
Clause No. 7: Force majeure
The liability of the company RIB’S cannot be implemented if the non-execution or delay in the execution of one of its obligations described in these general conditions of sale results from a case of force majeure. As such, force majeure means any external, unpredictable and irresistible event.
Any delay by our suppliers or service providers, such as our carriers, cannot give rise to the liability of the RIB’S company.
The same applies in the case of an administrative control which could delay the receipt or shipment of the goods.
Clause No. 8: Payment terms
Payment for orders is made by bank transfer.
When registering the order, the buyer must pay a deposit of 50% of the total invoice amount, the balance to be paid before shipping the goods.
Clause No. 9: Late payment
In the event of total or partial failure to pay for the goods delivered on the day of receipt, the buyer must pay RIB’S a late payment penalty equal to three times the legal interest rate.
The legal interest rate used is that in force on the day of delivery of the goods.
This penalty is calculated on the amount of the sum remaining due, and runs from the due date of the price without any prior notice being necessary.
Clause No. 10: Termination clause
If within fifteen days following the implementation of the “Late payment” clause, the buyer has not paid the remaining amounts due, the sale will be automatically canceled and may give rise to the right to the allocation of damages for the benefit of the company RIB’S.
Clause No. 11: Retention of title clause
The RIB’S company retains ownership of the goods sold until full payment of the price, in principal and accessories. As such, if the buyer is subject to receivership or judicial liquidation, the company RIB’S reserves the right to claim, as part of the collective procedure, the goods sold and remaining unpaid.
Clause No. 12: Samples and product creation
Any sample request must be made by written request.
The latter can be accepted or refused, depending on the manufacturing possibilities of the factories with which we work.
Samples are invoiced at the professional sales price, shipping costs payable by the buyer.
Any creation of drawings or graphics at the request of a client will result in additional costs payable by the client.
The customer will be informed of this once a quote has been established, which he must return to us signed and accepted.
Any corrections made at the customer’s request will be invoiced in addition to the initial quote.
