General Terms of Sale
Last updated October 2026
1. Ordinary Sales Conditions
These conditions of sale shall govern the relationship between Europavia and the customer and replace any other terms appearing in this or in any other document, unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by a duly authorised representative of the Company.
The descriptions appearing in the catalogue, website or on any other Europavia medium are supplied by the manufacturers of the respective products.
Europavia is bound by the obligations contained in the commercial offers it makes on its website, while those offers remain in force, and by all conditions of sale, invoicing and delivery of products.
2. Prices
Prices are stated in Euros, excluding VAT, which is shown separately. Prices are normally set for the period of validity of the suppliers' Catalogues, but the Company reserves the right to change its prices without prior notice, at any time.
The prices in force shall be those prevailing when an order is accepted. Where Supplies are to be made at later dates («Scheduled Delivery»), the price payable shall be that applicable on the date of acceptance of the total quantity. However, if the “Scheduled Delivery” extends over a period of 90 days or more, the Company reserves the right to charge the Customer additional amounts if the price of the Supplies increases before the end of that period.
3. Payment
Payment must be made at the time of purchase by card or by bank transfer. In the latter case, once confirmation of the transfer has been received, the process of supplying the purchased product will begin.
Invoices will be sent electronically to the e-mail address provided during the purchase process.
VISA and MasterCard payments are accepted.
4. Orders
The Company reserves the right to cease doing business with any company or person.
Once accepted, no order may be cancelled without the prior written agreement of a representative of the Company duly authorised to act on the Company's behalf.
The Company will ship free of charge for deliveries to mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands from 1,000 euros. For smaller shipments and shipments to the Canary Islands, the shipping cost will be indicated during the purchase process.
In the case of shipments outside national territory, information on the cost of transport must be requested through the forms that appear during the purchase process or by calling the telephone number indicated on the website.
Orders for certain Goods may be subject to a minimum order quantity or a minimum order value. The Company will use reasonable efforts to notify the Customer of such minimums before accepting the order.
5. Delivery
Where the Goods ordered are not in the catalogue or are items not held in stock, the Company will use all reasonable efforts to notify the delivery times for those Goods, once known.
Delivery of the Goods forming the subject of the Supplies shall be deemed to have taken place when they are made available at the address specified by the Customer.
The Company reserves the right to arrange delivery of the Goods directly from the manufacturer or supplier of the Goods to the address specified by the Customer. The Company may use any method of delivery available to it. The Company will make reasonable efforts to meet delivery and/or performance estimates, but shall under no circumstances be liable to indemnify the Customer for failure to deliver, failure to perform, or late delivery or performance, save in the case of wilful misconduct or gross negligence. The delivery and/or performance period shall not in any case be of the essence.
6. Inspection, defects and failure to deliver
The Customer must inspect the Supplies as soon as reasonably possible after delivery or, in the case of Services, inspect their due performance, save in the case of wilful misconduct or gross negligence by the Company. The Company shall not be liable for any defect in the Supplies unless the Company receives written notice from the Customer notifying its existence and setting out the defect in detail within the 10 calendar days following that date.
Any liability of the Company for failure to deliver or failure to perform, or by reason of notice that the Goods were defective on delivery, shall be limited, save in the case of wilful misconduct or gross negligence, to the replacement of the Goods, or to the refund of the price paid in relation to those Supplies.
7. Returns
Before returning any Goods to the Company for any reason, the Customer must contact the Company to obtain the corresponding return authorisation. All Goods shall be returned at the Customer's risk and expense, must not have been damaged by the Customer and must be packed in their original packaging. The Customer is responsible for returning the Goods to the Company and for keeping proof of delivery of that return.
The Company operates on the basis of a 14-day return. For a return to be accepted on this basis, the Goods must be returned for receipt by the Company within the 14 calendar days following their dispatch. The Customer must return the Goods to the Company at the address notified to it in writing, clearly indicating the Customer's details and the order number.
If any Goods are returned after the 14 calendar days for any reason, the Company may decline or accept that return at its sole and absolute discretion. If the return is accepted by the Company, return charges of 20% of the value of the material will be applied, with a minimum of €10.
The Company will also apply this scale where the return arises from an error by the Customer, even where it is made within 14 days.
8. Description
All specifications, drawings, illustrations, descriptions and specifications of weights, dimensions or capacity and other data, including without limitation statements relating to compliance with legal or regulatory standards, wherever they appear, are intended to give a general idea of the Supplies, but do not form part of the Contract. If the Descriptions of any Goods differ from the manufacturer's description, the latter shall be understood to be the correct one. The Company will take all reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of the Descriptions, but will rely for that purpose on the information, if any, that its suppliers may have provided to it, and shall not be liable, whether in contract or in tort, nor under any legal or regulatory provision, nor in any circumstances, save for wilful misconduct or gross negligence on its part, for any error or omission in those Descriptions, whether caused by the Company's negligence or by any other reason. The Company may make changes to the Supplies as part of an improvement programme or in order to comply with legal or regulatory requirements, at any time.
9. Risk and title
The risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Customer when the Goods are made available at the address specified by the Customer. Title to the Goods shall nevertheless in no case pass to the Customer until the Company has received in full all amounts owed by the Customer to the Company.
Until title passes to the Customer, the Customer must care for the Goods as an experienced bailee, with the utmost diligence. If payment is not received in full on the due date, or the Customer is dissolved, or a court of law orders its dissolution, or the Customer breaches any of its obligations towards the Company, the Company shall be entitled, without prior notice, to recover possession of the Goods and, to that end, to enter any premises in the possession or ownership of the Customer.
10. Warranty
The Company will endeavour to transfer to the Customer the benefit of any warranty granted by the manufacturer of the Goods.
The Company will, free of charge to the Customer, only repair or, at the Company's option, replace Goods with defects or defective design. This obligation shall not exist:
- if the defect arises because the Customer has altered or repaired those Goods without the Company's written consent;
- if the Customer did not follow the manufacturers' instructions for the storage, use, installation, operation or maintenance of the Goods;
- if the Customer has not notified the Company of any defects, in accordance with the conditions stipulated herein, where the defect would have been reasonably detectable upon reasonable inspection;
- if the Customer does not notify the Company of the defect within 12 months (or within the period specified by the Company at the time of accepting the order for the Supplies) from the date of dispatch of the Goods or performance of the Services.
Any replacement of Supplies or repair of the Goods carried out in accordance with this Condition shall be warranted on these terms for the portion of the warranty period granted on the original Supplies that has not yet expired.
Repairs:
The repair carried out is warranted for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of delivery of the repaired equipment, or as specified in the contract, covering exclusively defects arising from the work performed and from the components replaced during the intervention. Failures due to incorrect subsequent operation, storage, installation or maintenance are excluded. The warranty is limited exclusively to defects attributable to the workmanship performed or to the materials supplied during the repair; indirect costs, AOG or loss of profit are not applicable.
Manufacturing:
The company warrants that the products supplied comply with the technical specifications and design data applicable on the date of delivery. Any non-conformity attributable to manufacturing defects must be notified by the customer within a maximum period of twelve (12) months from delivery of the product, or as specified in the contract. Excluded from the warranty is damage caused by normal wear and tear, caused by FOD, incorrect installation, operation outside approved limits, work subsequently carried out by third parties and/or indirect costs, AOG or loss of profit.
11. Exclusion of Liability
The Company does not exclude its liability towards the Customer on any ground on which it would be mandatorily unlawful for the Company to exclude its liability or to attempt to exclude its liability; or for wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
The Company's total liability, whether in contract, in tort (including negligence), for breach of a duty established by a rule of law, for misrepresentation or on any other ground, shall be limited to the repair or replacement of the Goods or, at the Company's option, to the refund of the amounts already paid in relation to the Supplies, save in the case of wilful misconduct or gross negligence by the Company or an applicable mandatory rule of law.
12. Intellectual property
The Supplies in this Catalogue are subject to the Intellectual and Industrial Property rights of third parties, including patents, know-how, trade marks, copyright, design rights, rights of use and other third-party rights. No right or licence is granted to the Customer, other than the right to use the Supplies. The Company shall not be liable, save for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, in any way in the event that any claim is made for infringement of any of those rights, in whatever manner it is made.

14. Force Majeure, Fortuitous Event and certain Other Grounds for exclusion of the Company's liability
The Company shall not be liable to the Customer in any way, nor shall it be deemed to be in breach of these Conditions, for delay in performance or non-performance of any of the Company's obligations under these Contracts if the delay or non-performance is due to any cause beyond the Company's reasonable control, including but not limited to governmental action, war, fire, explosion, flood, import or export rules or embargoes, labour disputes, strikes, or impossibility or difficulty in obtaining supplies of goods, services or labour, or delay in obtaining supplies of goods, services or labour, force majeure or fortuitous event.

The fact that the Company does not enforce, or only partially enforces, any provision of these Conditions of Supply shall not be regarded as a waiver by the Company of any of the Company's rights.
