All the scenariosLaw firmsContract review against your playbookHard case
Your own contract with a private client: the photovoltaic system signed at the kitchen table, five clauses void or presumed unfair
The situation
Acme Impianti's sales consultant has Loretta Govoni sign the company's form for a 6 kW photovoltaic system with a battery at her home in Cento: €15,290, 30% down on signing. Before the spring campaign the owner runs the signed form through the review with the usual «supply» type and the Bologna court of his playbook. The review works out by itself that the other side is a consumer and that the contract was made off premises, and applies the Italian Consumer Code.
The documents
The same files the agent was handed. Open them before you read the rest: the names, addresses and VAT numbers are invented, the structure is not.
What the agent does
The same four phases as every run, in order. In the console you watch them go by one at a time, with the credits beside them.
- 01DiagnoseReads the input and decides what the job actually is.
- 02AssemblePicks tools, data sources and the model you chose.
- 03ActDoes the work. Anything that leaves the building waits for approval.
- 04AssessChecks its output against your rules before settling credits.
The result
Result being recorded
This scenario is ready, but its real run has not been recorded yet. Until it has, there is nothing to show here: we would rather print one honest line than a fake result.
What to look for
The first line says it is a consumer contract made off premises and lines up five reds with their rule: the €480 charged for withdrawing within 14 days (art. 52), the down payment kept as a 30% penalty with no double for the client (art. 33(2)(e)), the 8-day time bar (lett. t), liability capped at 10% even for harm to persons (void even if negotiated, art. 36(2)), the Bologna court for a client living in Cento (lett. u and art. 66-bis). Amber: the maintenance plan that renews itself (lett. i, and left out of the double signature) and the missing information — withdrawal form, legal guarantee, ADR. What stays with the lawyer — negotiation, whether the penalty is excessive, «made to measure» — is marked «da verificare».
