Italian term or phrase: franco
I am translating general conditions and terms of sale of items directly from the factory.

Under the price heading is:

I nostri prezzi si intendono franco nostra sede a Roma, salvo esplicita diversa pattuizione

I'm aware that there are already several postings in the glossary, but the general translation seems to be "free". And I can't really see this fitting my sentence.

I'd appreciate your suggestion. Thanks !!

Explanation:

Sigla usata nelle transazioni internazionali per indicare che il prezzo contenuto include, oltre al prezzo della merce, le spese di consegna della medesima fino all'avvenuto caricamento sulla nave.

I believe it just means that prices include shipping to their factory in Rome, after which the customer would pay to have the products/items sent elsewhere.
