Terms and Conditions

Effective date: 28 April 2026 · Version 1.0. These Terms apply to business-to-business transactions only. Specific commercial terms agreed in writing for each Order prevail over these general Terms.

Article 1 — Definitions

In these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"):

  • “Seller” means Industrial Machinery Export Bilbao S.L., a company incorporated under the laws of Spain, registered office in Bilbao (Spain), trading as Robotic Welding Cells through the website roboticweldingcells.com.
  • “Buyer” means the legal entity placing an Order with the Seller.
  • “Website” means roboticweldingcells.com and any subdomain or country-language version operated by the Seller.
  • “Product” or “Cell” means a pre-owned, inspected and refurbished robotic welding cell or related equipment listed in the Catalog or quoted to the Buyer.
  • “Quote” means a written commercial offer issued by the Seller.
  • “Order” means a written purchase confirmation issued by the Buyer that accepts a specific Quote.
  • “Refurbishment Scope” means the document attached to each Cell describing what was inspected, replaced, tested and left as-is.

Article 2 — Scope of these Terms

These Terms govern the commercial relationship between Seller and Buyer in connection with quotes, orders, sales, delivery and after-sale support of pre-owned robotic welding cells offered through the Website.

Specific commercial terms agreed in writing for each Order — including price, payment terms, delivery Incoterms, warranty extensions, training services and post-sale support packages — prevail over these general Terms. These Terms apply to all matters not specifically addressed in the Order.

These Terms apply to business-to-business (B2B) transactions only. The Website is not designed for, and the Seller does not contract with, consumers as defined under EU Directive 2011/83/EU.

Article 3 — Quotes and Orders

3.1 Information on the Website (catalog listings, prices, specifications) is commercial information, not a binding offer. Availability, prices and specifications are subject to confirmation by the Seller in a written Quote.

3.2 Quotes are valid for 30 calendar days from issuance unless a different validity is stated in the Quote itself. Cells are sold subject to prior sale; the Seller reserves the right to inform the Buyer that a quoted Cell is no longer available.

3.3 An Order is binding only when (a) the Buyer issues a written purchase confirmation referencing a specific Quote, and (b) the Seller acknowledges the Order in writing.

3.4 The Buyer is responsible for verifying that the technical specifications of the Cell match its intended application before issuing an Order. Pre-shortlisting and technical advisory by the Seller's engineers does not transfer this verification responsibility to the Seller.

Article 4 — Prices and payment

4.1 Prices are quoted in Euros (EUR), exclusive of VAT and other applicable taxes. VAT is applied where required by Spanish and EU law.

4.2 Default delivery basis is EXW Bilbao (Incoterms 2020) unless otherwise specified in the Quote.

4.3 Standard payment terms (overridable in the Quote) are:

  • 30% advance deposit at Order confirmation
  • 70% balance before delivery / dispatch from the Bilbao warehouse

4.4 Payment is made by bank transfer in EUR to the bank account specified in the Seller's invoice. The Buyer bears all bank fees and currency conversion costs on its side.

4.5 Late payment is subject to interest at the rate set by Spanish Law 3/2004 (interest for late payment in commercial transactions), without prejudice to any further rights or remedies the Seller may have.

Article 5 — Delivery, risk and title

5.1 Delivery dates communicated in the Quote are estimates based on warehouse availability and are not binding unless explicitly confirmed as binding in writing.

5.2 Title to the Cell passes to the Buyer upon full payment of the price including any applicable VAT and ancillary fees.

5.3 Risk of loss or damage passes to the Buyer at the delivery point defined by the Incoterms in the Order (default EXW Bilbao). The Buyer is responsible for adequate transit insurance from the delivery point.

5.4 Installation, commissioning and operator training are not included in the price unless specifically quoted. The Seller works with a network of certified installation partners (see Partners) — the Buyer may engage one of these partners or its own integrator.

Article 6 — Inspection on delivery and acceptance

6.1 The Buyer shall inspect the Cell at the delivery point and report any visible damage or deviation from the Order in writing within 7 calendar days of delivery.

6.2 Hidden defects shall be reported in writing within 30 calendar days of discovery, and in any case within the warranty period set out in Article 7.

6.3 Acceptance of the Cell after the inspection period above precludes claims based on visible defects or deviations that should have been detected during ordinary inspection.

Article 7 — Warranty

7.1 The Seller warrants that, at the moment of delivery, each Cell:

  • has been inspected and refurbished according to the Refurbishment Scope attached to the Order
  • conforms to the technical specifications stated in the Order
  • carries a valid CE Declaration of Conformity (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC) for its as-delivered configuration, where applicable

7.2 Warranty period is 6 months from delivery, extendable in writing per Order. Warranty covers parts and labour for defects in workmanship of the refurbishment performed by the Seller.

7.3 Warranty does not cover:

  • Wear parts (welding torch consumables, contact tips, nozzles, gas hoses, wire feed rollers)
  • Damage caused by improper use, operation outside rated payload, or modifications made by the Buyer or third parties
  • Damage caused by inadequate site preparation (power supply, compressed air, environmental conditions)
  • Software updates from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) where the OEM support window has closed
  • Failures caused by defective input materials (welding wire, gas, parts to be welded)

7.4 The Seller's liability under warranty is limited, at the Seller's option, to (a) repair, (b) replacement of the defective component, or (c) refund of the proportional purchase price corresponding to the defect.

Article 8 — Limitation of liability

8.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Seller's aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with any Order shall not exceed the purchase price actually paid by the Buyer for the Cell giving rise to the claim.

8.2 The Seller shall not be liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental damages, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of production, loss of contracts, loss of goodwill or business interruption.

8.3 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under Spanish or EU law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence and liability for fraud.

Article 9 — Force majeure

Neither party shall be liable for delay or failure to perform any obligation under an Order to the extent such delay or failure is caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including (without limitation) acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, fire, flood, pandemic, government actions, embargo, transportation failures, or shortage of raw materials. The affected party shall notify the other promptly and shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect.

Article 10 — Intellectual property

10.1 All trademarks, logos, photographs, technical drawings, articles and any other content published on the Website are owned by the Seller or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property law.

10.2 The Buyer is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Cell as intended after delivery. The license does not extend to copying, redistribution, or modification of any software embedded in the Cell beyond what is permitted by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) license.

Article 11 — Privacy and data protection

11.1 The Seller processes personal data of the Buyer's representatives in accordance with the Privacy Policy published on the Website, in compliance with EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) and Spanish law.

11.2 Use of the Website is also subject to the Cookie Policy.

Article 12 — Changes to these Terms

The Seller may amend these Terms from time to time. The version applicable to a specific Order is the version published on the Website at the date the Order is acknowledged in writing by the Seller. Subsequent changes do not alter ongoing Orders.

Article 13 — Applicable law and jurisdiction

13.1 These Terms and any Order are governed by Spanish law, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) by mutual choice.

13.2 Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or any Order shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Bilbao, Spain.

13.3 Notwithstanding clause 13.2, the Seller may bring proceedings against the Buyer at the Buyer's place of business or registered office, at the Seller's discretion.

Article 14 — Severability and entire agreement

14.1 If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

14.2 These Terms, together with the Quote and Order, constitute the entire agreement between Seller and Buyer concerning the supply of Cells. Prior representations, statements, or promises not incorporated in the Quote or Order have no contractual effect.
