These general conditions are systematically given to the Customer and the Customer declares to have read them and to have accepted them before placing an order or concluding the contract.
Consequently, the fact that the Customer signs the quote or concludes the contract implies unreserved acceptance of these general conditions. Any contrary condition or mentions on the orders or any other contradictory document, in particular the Customer's general conditions of purchase cannot, unless prior written acceptance by Kuroneko, prevail over the application of these general conditions.
Finally, the fact that Kuroneko does not avail itself at any time of the general conditions cannot be interpreted as a waiver of the right to avail itself, subsequently, of any of the said conditions.
The Contract is definitively concluded between the Parties and the sale is complete:
