General Terms and Conditions of Sale, Use of the “Inim” Logo, E-commerce, and Privacy Policy
Introduction
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to sales made by INIM Electronics S.r.l., a single-member company. Submitting an order and/or picking up goods from INIM Electronics S.r.l. implies acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale in their entirety. Our General Terms and Conditions of Sale take precedence over all of the Customer’s documents and, in particular, over the Customer’s General Terms and Conditions of Purchase.
INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. reserves the right to make aesthetic and functional changes to the dimensions or design of the equipment as dictated by technical, commercial, and/or marketing requirements.
Prices
The prices listed are subject to change without prior notice in the event of increases in product costs—whether at the source, due to changes in transportation rates and related expenses or tax-related costs, due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, or for any other reason— and this shall entitle INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. to increase the price of the goods proportionally, even when there is a specific contractual commitment. Prices are quoted ex-works and do not include VAT or other charges, including any other tax surcharges in general, even if imposed during the performance of the contract. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify the validity of the prices. The purchaser is required to pay the prices indicated on the invoice without any discounts and/or rounding not expressly provided for on the invoice.
Payment
The payment terms and methods specified on the invoice are to be considered mandatory. Payments made under terms and conditions different from those specified on the invoice, even if accepted, shall be considered merely as a matter of tolerance. In the event of late or irregular payments by the Customer, INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. is exempt from providing the warranty on the products supplied and reserves the right to suspend delivery for all pending orders. Interest on late payments shall accrue on amounts paid late in accordance with the terms and rates set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of Legislative Decree No. 231/2002. If the agreed-upon payment terms provide for an advance payment upon order, INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. shall have the right to suspend performance of the contract until such payment is received. Any payment of the purchase price by draft, bill of exchange, bank receipt, or bank check is always accepted by INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. “with recourse,” meaning that the Customer is not released from the obligation to pay the purchase price until such time as INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. has successfully collected the instruments. Payment by drafts, bills of exchange, bank receipts, or bank checks shall not, under any circumstances, constitute a deviation from the place of performance of the principal obligation as provided for in Article 1182, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, nor shall it constitute a deviation from the payment term as specified above.
Termination of the Contract
If checks and/or bills of exchange are dishonored against the Customer, if enforcement proceedings, a composition with creditors, or bankruptcy proceedings are initiated against the Customer, as well as in the event of the legal representative’s incapacity, the liquidation of the Customer’s company, a change in the company’s structure, or payment irregularities, INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. reserves the right to unilaterally terminate the contract by providing written notice to the Customer.
Returns
Returns will not be accepted, even if justified, unless previously authorized by INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. Returns that are not authorized with a specific return number will be immediately rejected. Authorized returns must be shipped with all shipping costs prepaid. Unless the return is due to an explicit error on the part of INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l., the return acceptance process will incur a fixed fee of 50.00 euros (fifty,00) for handling and administrative costs, which will be deducted directly from the final credit memo, regardless of the value of the return itself. Returned merchandise for which a credit is requested, if new and in perfect condition—both in terms of packaging and the product itself—will be valued as follows:
- Within 2 months of the date of sale: no write-down
- 2 to 6 months: 20% depreciation
- 6 to 12 months: 50% write-down
We do not accept returns for items sold more than one year after the date of purchase.
For products found to be damaged upon inspection at the INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. facility, the final decision regarding acceptance of the return and any valuation of the goods shall be at the sole discretion of INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l.
Liability to Third Parties
By entering into this contract, the Customer agrees to be aware of all legal restrictions and safety regulations pertaining to the use of the ordered products. Therefore, INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. shall not be liable for any and all direct or indirect damages caused to persons or property resulting from the use of the supplied products.
Industrial Property Rights
The customer’s purchase constitutes acknowledgment of all industrial property rights held by INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. In particular, the customer acknowledges that INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. holds the industrial property rights—whether or not indicated on the goods or packaging—as well as the trademarks used for the goods themselves. In the event of a claim by a third party regarding the industrial property rights of INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l., the customer must immediately notify INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. of the third party’s claims.
Delivery Terms
Any delivery date, even if agreed upon by the parties, is merely indicative and does not constitute an essential condition and/or term of the order. Delivery dates are therefore approximate and subject to both production capacity and events of force majeure. Such events include, among others, strikes by employees, customs officials, postal workers, carriers, and freight forwarders; measures taken by the authorities; natural disasters; etc. Under no circumstances, therefore, may INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. be held liable for direct and/or indirect damages resulting from delayed delivery. A delay in delivery does not entitle the purchaser to cancel the contract in whole or in part. Deliveries may be made in installments.
Shipping
INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. is released from any obligation to deliver products outside its warehouse by handing them over to a shipping agent and/or carrier for transport or to the person designated by the Customer to pick them up. For shipments at the buyer’s expense, the buyer has the right to specify the desired method of delivery (courier, etc.). Products are always shipped at the Customer’s expense and risk, and INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. therefore assumes no liability for any damage that may occur during transport. Any claim against the carrier must be made by the Customer in their own name and on their own behalf.
Warranty
For electronic equipment, unless otherwise specified, a comprehensive 24-month warranty covering replacement parts and labor is provided. INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. reserves the right to choose whether to repair or replace products that, in its sole discretion, are found to be defective. The warranty is void in the event of damage caused by misuse, drops, tampering, repair attempts by personnel not authorized by INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l., or use of the products in a manner inconsistent with the intended conditions of use.
INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l.’s liability is limited exclusively to the delivery of products that function in accordance with the warranty terms and does not cover any claims for compensation for damages of any kind asserted by the purchaser. Products subject to a claim may be sent to INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. only with its prior authorization. The shipping costs for products sent to INIM ELECTRONICS S.r.l. under this warranty clause, as well as any packaging costs and other incidental expenses, shall be borne exclusively by the Customer.
Jurisdiction
For any and all disputes that may arise in connection with the performance of the supply contract, the courts of Ascoli Piceno shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction
For any and all disputes that may arise in connection with the performance of the supply contract, the courts of Ascoli Piceno shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

The “INIM” logo may be used on printed materials, in electronic format, or on websites directly associated with the Customer.
The “INIM” logo must always be used in connection with a product supplied by “Inim Electronics s.r.l.” An exception to this rule is when the Customer intends to advertise the distribution of “INIM” products.
You may not distort or alter the INIM logo or any element of the “INIM” logo itself.

It is not permitted to use a name, business name, symbol, sign, or trademark that is identical to or confusingly similar to the INIM trademark, or that includes the INIM trademark, or that is otherwise likely to cause deception or confusion among users.
Under no circumstances should a web link cause confusion—even among the most inexperienced users—regarding the ownership of the Inim and Client websites or the identifying information of Inim and the Client.
Under no circumstances should a web link cause confusion—even among the most inexperienced users—regarding the activities carried out by Inim and those carried out by the Client.
INIM reserves the right to consider taking any necessary action to protect its trademark and image and to seek appropriate compensation for any damages it may have suffered.
The provisions of this paragraph apply in the absence of a specific written agreement between INIM and the Customer that explicitly governs the use of the INIM trademark and links to INIM’s web pages.
E-commerce
INIM does not sell its products online (e-commerce).
Therefore, neither direct nor indirect sales of INIM products via websites are permitted unless expressly authorized in writing by “INIM.”
INIM does not, in particular, promote e-commerce sales of its products to private consumers, also in light of the provisions of Ministerial Decree 37/2008, with specific reference to Article 4 “Technical and Professional Requirements,” Article 6 “Construction and Installation of Systems,” and Article 7 “Declaration of Conformity,” without prejudice to the other articles of the aforementioned Ministerial Decree.
It is the Customer’s responsibility to verify that the INIM products it sells are not being sold online. Should this occur, the Customer must immediately cease supplying anyone who, directly or indirectly, sells INIM products online.
Failure to comply with this rule will result in the immediate suspension of supplies or, at INIM’s sole discretion, other measures deemed appropriate to stop the problem.
