Advantageous business terms and conditions: what is meant

Written by Editorial board | May 25, 2023 8:00:00 AM

In any business, business and contractual terms and conditions are the elements that define the terms and conditions of an agreement between two or more parties. These general business conditions vary depending on the sector, the type of transaction and the specific needs of the parties involved. It tends to refer to terms of payment, shipping and delivery, warranty, liability of the parties involved in the contract, dispute resolution, duration of the contract, etc.

It is important to emphasise that commercial and contractual conditions may be subject to negotiation between the parties involved and may be influenced by the laws and regulations in force in the country where the business activity takes place.

Specifically, in this article, we will shed light on the commercial conditions of SLIM (Società Lampe Interruttori Mercurio) for its customers.

SLIM's business conditions

Since 1973, at SLIM we have been producing lamps and light signals for companies operating in various fields, from household appliances to professional kitchen equipment, from HVAC to the electro-medical sector. Regardless of product or sector, our approach is one that focuses on the ability to create and nurture long-term relationships with different stakeholders, who thus become established partners who bring our lighting and signalling solutions to the market in order to foster business relationships and fully satisfy our customers, we support our supply of high-quality lighting solutions with advantageous business conditions. These involve a number of parameters, let's see them together.

Ad hoc and quick sampling 

Sampling for standard and customised products refers to the production of customised samples or prototypes in a short time frame for customers who request them. These samples are made quickly and tailor-made and allow the customer to assess the quality, design (shape, size and dimensions), functionality and other characteristics of the product, before mass production or final implementation. On custom projects, we provide free and quick ad-hoc samples, which allow either customers to carry out tests and any laboratory tests to certify the product before proceeding with the final release. For some time now, a 3D printer has been installed in SLIM's production department for prototyping, allowing the creation of customised samples and avoiding the creation of a pilot mould. The sampling of customised products is at no additional cost to the applicant if the project is subsequently started.

Production flexibility and flexible batches 

Production flexibility has become increasingly important in a business environment characterised by rapid change, volatile market dynamics and a growing demand for customisation. Being a flexible company allows you to respond quickly and effectively to changes in demand, in the market and in different operating conditions. At SLIM, as an SME, we have been working for several years to ensure maximum production flexibility: flexibility also and above all lies in the ability to supply small production batches (from 100 pieces) up to larger batches, from hundreds of thousands of pieces, even for foreign countries, with a tendency to shorten lead times compared to the industry average.

For several years, our company has had business relationships with customers on all continents, customers to whom we offer flexible shipping options. We are able to take charge of shipments with worldwide destinations, managing different means of transport (air, ship, etc.) and carriers/shippers selected according to the geographical area of destination and urgency of delivery.

The entire transport process is constantly monitored and we make use of a solid logistical infrastructure. Working with reliable partners who are responsive to the changing operating environment helps to ensure efficient and time-sensitive shipments. 

Terms of payment

The price of products or services is a fundamental element of the commercial terms of sale. This can be set according to several variables. The creditworthiness of all SLIM clients is constantly monitored and this allows the best possible payment terms to be defined in agreement with the client, with reference to the client's business reality and the changing macroeconomic environment
