Prices

The company reserves the right to change prices without prior notice based on changes in any component of production costs. Any modification to the original packaging conditions at the request of the customer or their carrier must be agreed upon and will be charged according to the current rate.
Orders
By placing an order, the client or buyer implicitly accepts the current prices and rates, as well as these General Terms and Conditions of Sale. Orders are considered firm once the customer has accepted the delivery time, shipping cost, and payment terms. Any modification or cancellation of the order by the customer must be agreed upon. For special product orders, a guarantee may be included to cover potential damages resulting from changes or cancellation. To avoid misunderstandings, it is recommended that orders be placed in writing or via the online sales platform. For VAT-exempt orders, it is necessary to provide the Canary Islands CIF or a VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) number for EU sales. Orders outside the EU are subject to a pro forma invoice.
Delivery
Goods are delivered to the customer at the SIO-2 warehouse (EXW) or to a specified delivery address, as indicated in the sales order. Any special delivery condition must be specified in the order. For home deliveries, goods are considered delivered upon the customer’s signature of the delivery note. Any missing items, defects, or damage must be noted on the delivery slip in order to be eligible for claims. Deliveries are made on working days, excluding weekends and public holidays. Failure to meet the delivery deadline does not entitle the customer to compensation.
Transport and Shipping
Transport is at the customer's expense and risk unless otherwise specified in the sales order. For home deliveries, SIO-2 arranges the shipment and informs the client of the shipping cost, any special conditions, and estimated delivery time for prior approval before dispatch.
Warranty
SIO-2 guarantees the technical specifications of its manufactured products, as reflected on labels and in technical documentation issued exclusively by the company, and informs about the technical specifications of products marketed from other manufacturers. The company declines any responsibility for products with damaged packaging or those improperly stored outside our warehouses, or for defects resulting from misuse by the client. In any case, SIO-2's liability is always limited to the price of the goods that the company acknowledges as defective. IMPORTANT: Storage: it is recommended to protect products from direct sunlight, extreme temperature changes, and frost. Use: technical data sheets with product characteristics and usage guidelines are available to the customer. For large-scale or industrial consumption, it is recommended to test the products beforehand to verify their suitability for the intended process and purpose.
