2. Customer Registration

Before purchasing the products, the Customer must complete a registration procedure on the website, providing the Supplier with (in accordance with current privacy laws) all the data and information (including for example, name, surname, company name, VAT code, delivery address, communication address) necessary for the Supplier to deliver confirmed orders correctly.

The Customer accepts all responsibility for the truth of information provided at the time of registration, whilst in no event will the Supplier be held responsible for problems or delays caused by incorrect data provided. The Customer has the right to correct, add or change his/her personal data at any time.

3. Contract completion

Once the Customer has registered, he/she may select one of more products to purchase, and store them in the virtual shopping basket, which can be viewed/modified right up to the moment the order is actually submitted.

By clicking on “Confirm my Order” the Customer will send the purchase order of all selected products to the Supplier; each order constitutes an official agreement to purchase on the part of the Customer. When sending the order, the Customer must declare that he/she has viewed and accepts the General Corditions of Sale – a specific box will appear on the website. If this declaration is not made, the order will not be accepted or set in motion by the Supplier.

Once the order has been received, the Supplier will send an email to confirm receipt (although this does not constitute in any way acceptance of the order – it is simply to confirm that the order has been received and submitted for evaluation of valid registration and availability of products).

The contract with the Supplier will be validated from the moment the Supplier sends a separate email of Order Confirmation with formal acceptance of the order, an order reference number and information regarding delivery. The Order Confirmation email signals the end of the purchase agreement regulated by the special conditions in the Order Confirmation and General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

The Supplier reserves the irrevocable right to refuse certain orders, including those which are particularly problematic to fulfil, with incomplete or inaccurate data, or any other reason not specifically laid down here. In such cases, any payment already made will be wholly reimbursed without any cost or fee, whilst the Customer may not make any kind of compensatory claim from the Supplier.

Once sent, the order may no longer be modified. In the event that the Customer needs to make an alteration to the order, it is necessary to contact Customer Care via email, and arrange the necessary changes. Any modifications requested after Order Confirmation has been emitted, will be disadvantageous to the Supplier and will not be accepted as a valid reason for refusing delivery of the products.

4. Prices and delivery costs

All product prices indicated in the various website pages are specified in Euro, GB Pounds and Dollars, inclusive of VAT at the level and according to procedures laid down by law; these prices do not include any additional taxes, custom duties and/or taxes applied by the country of destination (when not Italy), which will all be charged to the Customer.

The Supplier reserves the right to modify the prices of products featured on the website. Any price variations which take place between the sending of the order and confirmation of the same, will not be applied to those Customers whose order has already been processed.

Except in the case of special promotions on the website, the Customer will be held to pay not only the cost of the products but also the cost of delivery and transport as laid down by the website at the time of ordering.

5. Payment, conditional sale and invoicing

Except for cases in which the Customer chooses the option "Cash on Delivery" or “payment by bank transfer”, the Customer will make payment for products at the time the order is emitted; if the order should not be accepted by the Supplier, the entire sum paid in advance will be reimbursed within 30 calendar days.

Cash on delivery payment also involves an additional encashment fee, to be paid by the Customer during the purchasing process. In the event that the ordered product is not signed for receipt of delivery by the Customer, the Supplier reserves the right to invoice additional delivery costs and return delivery to the customer.

iii. Payment by bank transfer is to be made by and not after 3 calendar days of the sales order being emitted, using the bank details provided by the Supplier during the purchase procedure. The customer must indicate in the bank transfer process the order number emitted by the supplier during the process as the motive of payment.

If payment is not made at the time of ordering, the products will only become the property of the customer at the moment payment is made. The Supplier will emit an invoice (or receipt of payment, in the case of products not subject to VAT) exclusively in electronic form according to current laws. The Supplier will emit an invoice to the Customer’s email address and the invoice will remain available in pdf form for consultation and printing, in the Customer’s reserved area.

When possible the delivery of products will not take place on Mondays.

The Supplier undertakes to respect stated delivery times as far as possible, however said times are merely approximate and in no way binding for the Supplier. Customers must accept the possibility of delays up to a maximum of 30 calendar days.

The Supplier is not responsible for failure to deliver or delays in delivery, in cases where the Customer has been informed of unavailability of products.

The Supplier is not responsible for failure to deliver or delays in delivery due to unavoidable circumstances such as strikes, public authority action, rationing or scarcity of raw materials/energy sources, transport problems, fire, floods, or other damages not due to the Supplier. The Supplier will inform the Customer as soon as possible of such problems and/or impossibility of delivery. Should such delays be extended beyond 30 (thirty) days, both parties have the right to annul the contract.
