May I cancel / modify an order already placed?
Yes, you can do it until maximum 15 days before the confirmed delivery date.
Nevertheless, as some orders (e.g. non standard orders, custom items, orders for big quantities)
may include special manufacturing and/or specific components, which we purchase a lot in advance,
DMG reserves the right to accept (always in written) the order modification or its cancellation
according to the order status in the manufacturing process.
Is there a minimum amount for invoices?
Yes, the minimum gross amount for invoices is €160,00.
Processing small orders is very expensive for us; thus we kindly ask you to group as many small
orders as possible to always reach the minimum gross amount for invoices.
If you really need to place a small order, please contact our
Sales Area Manager to know which additional fees that can
apply.
When will my order be delivered?
For all standard products, DMG always offers a lead time of 15 working days (3 calendar weeks)
from the date of order confirmation.
For orders containing non standard products / manufacturing, lead times may be longer. Order
confirmation will show the exact lead time applied.
I really need a rush delivery, is it possible?
If you need, DMG accepts rush orders, making all possible efforts to deliver as soon as possible,
even within 48h if you''re ordering standard components and plates without engravings.
Rush deliveries must be asked for to your Sales Manager or, as an alternative, to our
Customer Care. DMG has the right to accept or decline all rush orders, according to its
manufacturing capacity at the moment of your request.
Will my order be delivered on time? What happens in case of delay?
In normal conditions, DMG guarantees to respect the delivery date shown on the order confirmation
in 94% of cases (same day or within 48h after confirmed delivery date). All our organization
is involved in reaching this goal.
If we realize that we’ll have a delay of more than 48h in delivery, our staff will contact you
before the confirmed delivery date, informing the new delivery date and the reason for the delay.
How are goods delivered? Is it possible to insure shipment?
DMG standard delivery terms are EX WORKS (INCOTERMS); therefore responsibility and shipment fees
are at Customer's charge.
Anyway, if explicitly requested by the Customer, DMG can select a trusted carrier and insure
shipment at agreed rates. Contact our Sales Managers for further details.
dettagli.
Goods have been lost or stolen during shipment. What can I do?
If you chose to insure shipment with DMG, immediately send us a copy of loss/theft notice written
by the carrier. DMG will forward it to the Insurance Company and file a new production order for
lost/stolen products, unless otherwise instructed by the Customer.

Received material is not compliant to my order. What can I do?
Immediately contact our Customer Care to inform us about the noncompliance. Use our
Claim form to give us details (order ref., missing/defective item, etc.) to allow a quick
and effective check. Always remember to specify if you want a quick replacement of
missing/defective items.
DMG will provide noncompliance analysis within 48h from your notice as well as filing a new
production order for replacement. Our Customer Care staff will agree with you the conditions
for returning us the noncompliant material.
Should your complain be founded (or if validity can NOT be proven), replacement will be a our full
charge, including shipment fees. If you received goods not compliant to your order, we may ask you
to return us those wrong goods, with shipment fees at our charge and using our carrier.
Should your complain be not founded (e.g. after checking between received order goods and our
shipment pictures database), our Customer Care staff will inform you accordingly and our
Sales Managers will agree with you the conditions for issuing a new order.
Anyway, unless otherwise agreed between DMG and the Customer, DMG will not accept loss/theft
notices nor order non compliance notices which should be sent over 90 days from invoice date.
Should you receive goods addressed to someone else, DO NOT open the package/s and contact our
Customer Care. We will arrange shipment for return at our charge.
How can I return noncompliant goods?
After sending the noncompliance notice, please contact our Customer Care to have the return
authorized. Noncompliant goods have to be returned accurately packed and accompanied by a delivery
note showing "NON-COMPLIANT PRODUCT RETURNED FOR REPLACEMENT", the original PO nr and invoice
nr/date with which your PO has been delivered.

What should I do if I received a defective product?
If the product is covered by our warranty, simply contact our Customer Care
to inform about defect. Use our Claim form
to give us details (order ref., defective item code, etc.) to allow a quick and effective check.
Always remember to specify if you want a quick replacement of defective items.
DMG will arrange product replacement as soon as possible; for financial/fiscal reasons the
replacement will be regularly invoiced. Our Customer Care staff will agree with you the
conditions for returning us the defective material.
Returned items will be tested. If the defect is imputable to DMG (or in case of uncertainty) and if
the product is still covered by the 2 years warranty, DMG will issue a credit note for the whole
amount of the replacement invoice, including shipping fees of return and replacement shipments
(flat rate refund based on our shipping rates).
Should the product be damaged for causes evidently imputable to the Customer (wrong connections,
improper use, breaks, etc.), the claim will be NOT FOUNDED and our Customer Care staff will
send information thereof along with the reasons.
How can I return a defective product?
After sending the noncompliance notice, contact our Customer Care to receive the Authorisation to
Return for the noncompliant goods. We ask to return products accurately packed and accompanied by a
delivery note showing "RETURN OF DEFECTIVE MATERIALS'", indicating the original PO nr and invoice
nr/date with which your PO has been delivered.
Why should I return defective materials costing a little amount?
Sometimes it may seem a nonsense, if you just consider the value of the materials to return.
Nevertheless, we can find out possible recurring or hidden defects and solve them just checking
every little defective item. Therefore we kindly ask you to understand our request of returning
even small defective products; our goal at DMG is to improve quality and reliability of its
products.
However, if your claim concerns a known problem, DMG may not ask for defective product return, but
only arranges for quick replacements free of charge for the Customer.
Which are DMG warranty terms?
DMG applies a 2 years warranty from invoice date for all components manufactured by itself.
For complex products (i.e. controllers), which are composed by items manufactured by third parties,
the original warranty from the manufacturer is applied, sometimes limited to one year.
What if the product is not covered by warranty?
To repair products not covered by warranty (damaged by improper use or warranty period empire)
contact our Customer Care. In this case we will invoice you inspection and/or repair fees at a
rate of € 84,00 per hour gross price, as well as replaced components and shipping costs.
Should the product be definitely damaged and not repairable, we shall still invoice you inspection
fees at a rate of € 84,00 per hour gross price.
The repaired product will be sent back with a report of the tests result, the defect analysis and
of the repairs and/or replacements done.
What can I do if I received a damaged product?
Most DMG products are individually packed with transparent plastic film, which allows visual
inspection. If there are evident damages to the material and such film is intact, the Customer
should check for damages avoiding to break the film and should return all damaged items to DMG,
upon agreement with our Customer Care within 30 calendar days from invoice date.
Please return us damaged goods in its original package with the necessary delivery note showing
the text "DAMAGED MATERIALS RETURNED FOR REPLACEMENT", indicating the original PO nr and invoice
nr/date with which your PO has been delivered.
May I return a product if I ordered it by mistake?
Yes, you may; this has to be agreed with DMG. Contact our Customer Care to agree how to
return products ordered by mistake. Returns will be considered only if:
• Product is standard and can be easily re-marketable;
• Product hasn't been used, is intact and in its original package;
• Product has been shipped/invoiced since no more than three months.
All returned products must carry a delivery note showing "PRODUCT RETURNED FOR REPLACEMENT UPON
COMMERCIAL AGREEMENT", and the Authorisation to Return received by our Customer care, always
indicating the original PO nr and the original selling invoice nr and date.
Shipment fees will be at your charge.
Is it possible to have a payment deferment?
If you're experiences difficulties in respecting the agreed payment terms, a san exception, you
can ask for a payment deferment before payment terms have expired. In this case, we ask you
to contact our Finance Department to officially ask for payment deferment indicating the required
new payment term. Your request will anyway have to be considered and formally accepted in written
by DMG.
In some cases and for big amounts, DMG may ask you to pay bank interests for the deferment period.
We recommend to use this option only in cases of real need.
I haven't paid an invoice. What will this involve?
We kindly ask you to inform us about a possible missed payment before invoice payment terms expire.
DMG consider a serious fault any missed payments, which are not communicated in advance. Missed
payments activate a protection procedure, which may lead to pending orders/shipments
freezing.
For invoices not paid since more than 10 days from expiry date or for unpaid cash orders, DMG will
send a reminder for payment. In this case we kindly invite you to send us copy of the payment as
soon as possible and anyway within 10 days from the reminder date.
Shouldn't we receive payment copy within this period, we'll send a second remainder for payment, in
which we inform you we're going to temporarily freeze all your pending orders/deliveries due to
unpaid invoices.
Several missed payment will anyway lead to freezing your supplies.
