TERMINI

Hammerglass®

Hammerglass® è un prodotto polimerico rivestito di silice – 300 volte più forte del vetro. Il rivestimento superficiale offre resistenza contro raggi UV, sostanze chimici e abrasione. Le lastre Hammerglass sono piatte e sono disponibili in spessori standard di 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 e 15 mm. Sono possibili anche altri spessori. Le lastre possono essere laminate a caldo, piegate a freddo, laminate, lucidate ai bordi e altro ancora. Le lastre Hammerglass sono estruse laminando la plastica liquefatta da granulato al corretto spessore e poi lasciandola raffreddare a temperatura ambiente. Macchie di fuliggine nera dal riscaldamento, particelle di polvere, irregolarità e difetti di laminazione possono verificarsi, ma i pezzi interessati vengono scartati durante il controllo di produzione. Hammerglass AB ha fissato livelli per la variazione di spessore consentita, la dimensione di punti neri consentita e il livello massimo di distorsione (livello diottrico). Dopo l'estrusione, le lastre vengono rivestite con un rivestimento Hammerglass su entrambi i lati e viene eseguito un ulteriore controllo qualità. Difetti nelle lastre possono comunque verificarsi. Lo scopo di questo documento è stabilire linee guida per la valutazione della qualità dei prodotti e la gestione dei reclami. Le linee guida si basano sulla valutazione del vetro piatto, descritta in EN 572.

Etichettatura e specifiche delle dimensioni

Salvo progetti come quelli che interessano barriere antirumore, ponti e soluzioni per tetti, dove è facile determinare a posteriori il tempo di installazione, tutti i vetri Hammerglass sono dotati di logo, numero di serie e classe di protezione (ove applicabile) incisi al laser. L'etichettatura facilita la tracciabilità nei casi di garanzia e l'identificazione del fornitore. Nelle specifiche dimensionali, le dimensioni esterne del vetro devono essere date come Larghezza*Altezza, espressa in millimetri.

If any unforeseen changes of costs for raw materials, alloys, energy, exchange rates, duties, taxes or governmental charges occur before delivery and such change affects Hammerglass’ costs for supplying Products, Hammerglass shall be entitled to adjust the price accordingly.

Purchaser may not offset any claim against debts to Hammerglass unless such claim is uncontested or its validity has been established as legally effective. All prices shown are exclusive of any applicable tax. Any tax that Hammerglass is required to collect pursuant to the sale of Products hereunder shall be in addition to the price and shall be borne entirely by the Purchaser.

If the relevant domestic property laws do not recognize a retention of title or provide for additional requirements such as but not limited to registration requirements etc., the Purchaser undertakes to support Hammerglass at Hammerglass’ request in order to either fulfil any of these requirements or to establish a comparable security interest for Hammerglass in relation to the Products sold to the Purchaser.

Hammerglass’ acceptance of payment shall not waive or limit any right or remedy of Hammerglass.

Purchaser shall not be entitled to make any other claims for damages or otherwise in case of delayed delivery.

In case Hammerglass becomes aware of the likely occurrence of Purchaser’s insolvency or inability to pay for delivered Products, Hammerglass shall have no obligation to make delivery, and shall be entitled to stop Products under carriage, unless Purchaser makes advance payment for the delivery and other claims arising from the business relation (including but not limited to paying any outstanding debt) or grants security which can reasonably be accepted by Hammerglass.

Return of Products for any reason whatsoever shall require prior written approval of Hammerglass.

6. Warranty

Hammerglass warrants the Products will conform to the Specifications, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Hammerglass in the Order Confirmation. Should Products, as delivered, be shown not to conform with the Specifications or the specification otherwise agreed in writing, as the case may be, or the quantity of delivered Products be shown to deviate from the agreed quantity, Hammerglass shall, at its own discretion and at its own costs, as the sole remedy of Purchaser, either (i) deliver new Products; (ii) repair the non-conforming Products; or (iii) refund such proportion of the purchase price received which correspond to the non-conformity or the shortage. Purchaser is, however, solely liable for the suitability of Products and their compliance with laws, regulations and applicable standards, for the intended use.

THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, COVENANTS OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR IN WRITING, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

7. Non-conforming Products

Purchaser shall examine the Products upon delivery and report to Hammerglass without undue delay any damage, non-conformity or deviation in quantity. Any claim from Purchaser on account of such examination must be made to Hammerglass prior to the Product being used or put into production. Any claim on account of such defects, damages, non-conformities or deviation shall in any event be deemed waived by Purchaser, unless submitted to Hammerglass in writing not later than thirty (30) days from the delivery date.

If the Purchaser have a claim towards Hammerglass, the Purchaser shall fill out the form named “Notice of Claim” that, from time to time, can be found on Hammerglass homepage, www.hammerglass.com, and send the filled-out form to the address further specified in the form.

The total liability of a Party on any claim whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise arising out of, connected with or resulting from the manufacture, sale, delivery, resale, replacement or use of any Product shall in no event exceed the price allocable to the Products or part thereof which give rise to the claim. No action may be brought by a Party more than six (6) months from the delivery date and regardless of whether the cause for the action has been known to the Party by that time.

The Purchaser undertakes to provide all information and documents required for the export or transfer of the Products such as information on end user, final destination (country) of Products sold by Hammerglass and/or description of end use. Delays due to export examinations or permission procedures shall set aside any time limits and delivery periods. If the necessary permissions are not granted, or if the delivery is not capable of being permitted, the Agreement between the Parties shall be deemed as not concluded with regard to the parts of it that are concerned.

Hammerglass is entitled to suspend performance and/or terminate the Agreement without notice if, based on Hammerglass’ understanding, such action on the part of Hammerglass is warranted in order for Hammerglass to comply with national or international legal export control and sanctions regulations. In the event of such suspension or termination, the assertion of any claim for damages or the assertion of other rights by the Purchaser based on the suspension or termination shall be excluded.

The Purchaser must upon passing on any Products delivered by Hammerglass to third parties at home and abroad comply with all national, regional and international export control and sanctions laws and regulations, as applicable to the Purchaser and/or Hammerglass, including at all times the EU regulation on dual-use items and any EU Council sanctions regulations in force.
