In the event of a conflict between these general conditions and those of the principal, the general conditions of URBEEZ S.R.L shall prevail over all others. These conditions may only be derogated from with the prior express written agreement of an administrator of URBEEZ S.R.L. These general conditions apply even if the principal subsequently gives a verbal order that is not confirmed by the signature of a purchase order.

The principal assumes full responsibility for the proper packaging and labeling of the goods to be shipped to ensure their safe transport.
