1.2 These terms apply to the online sale by the Seller and online purchase by the Customer, respectively, of the Products.

1.3 Key details of the products are illustrated and described on the Website, which provides an accurate, truthful, correct and not misleading description of each Product. Due to technical limitations of the Website, the photographs accompanying a product may not be perfectly representative of its characteristics and the products may differ slightly from those shown on the picture.

2. Registration to the website

2.1 All purchases must be made in accordance with the following procedure:

a) prior registration to the Website and entry of the personal ID and password by the Customer, which grants access to a reserved area through secure protocol;

b) Purchase in “guest” mode, i.e. with no requirement to register an account. A temporary identifier will be generated and will only be used to complete the online purchase. By using “guest” mode, the Customer’s personal data will not be saved and stored for subsequent purchases. The Customer, however, will have the option to create and register an account after completing the purchase.

c) Completion of the purchase procedure pursuant to art. 3.

2.2. The Customer shall not enter false and/or invented and/or incorrect data during the registration process. The Customer shall not use personal data, including e-mail addresses, of third parties without their consent or imaginary data or e-mail addresses during the registration process. The Customer remains entitled to purchase the Products on behalf of third parties and may indicate a different delivery name and address from his/her address. The Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of the data provided.

3. Purchase procedure and conclusion of the contract

3.1 The Customer shall put the Products he/she wishes to purchase in the digital cart of the Website. Before completing the order, the Customer may, at any time, change the Products placed in the cart. By clicking on the button “checkout” or “proceed to checkout”, the Customer shall proceed to complete his order and will have the option to log-in or create an account or to continue in “guest” mode, as specified under art. 2.

3.2 The general conditions of sale shall be reviewed online by the Customer before completion of the purchase process.

3.3 By ticking the box(es) positioned immediately above the “CONFIRM PURCHASE” button the Customer shall be deemed to have read and accepted the general conditions of sale.

Before completing his/her purchase, the Customer may correct and amend any personal data (name, address, etc.) provided.

3.5. The Customer’s order is deemed to be an offer to the Seller to purchase the Products ordered. The e-mail sent by the Seller upon receipt of the order and containing a summary of the same, does only constitute a mere acknowledgment by the Seller that the order has been received. The contract is considered to be concluded once the Customer receives a formal order and dispatch confirmation by e-mail, which should occur within forty-eight (48) hours from the receipt of the order by the Seller. This confirmation e-mail constitutes the Seller’s acceptance of the Customer’s order and the Seller shall be bound to sell and deliver the Products. Either in the confirmation e-mail, or otherwise by a subsequent e-mail confirming dispatch of the products, the Customer will be sent a document in pdf or similar format summarizing the terms and conditions of sale and/or a hyperlink to the terms and conditions of sale, in order to enable the Customer to retain a permanent copy of these terms and conditions. The Customer is advised to print out and retain a copy of the general conditions as well as a description and specification of the Products purchased.

3.5 The Contract shall be deemed concluded in the place where the head offices of the Seller are located. Except where the Seller is prevented from performing this contract due to events beyond its control, the Seller undertakes to supply the Products ordered by the Customer, subject to availability pursuant to art. 5, upon payment of the Final Price by the Customer.

4. Pricing

4.1 The retail prices of the products (hereinafter “Retail Price”) shown on the Website shall be expressed in Euros. The Website shall clearly indicate the Retail Prices for each product and the way to calculate the total price of the purchase. The total price of the purchase (hereinafter “Final Price”) will consist of the sum of the Retail Price and the cost of dispatch and delivery of the products by couriers and/or carriers engaged by the Seller. The Customer acknowledges to be aware that by confirming the purchase order he/she will be bound to pay the Final Price once the order is confirmed by the Seller. The amount owed to the Seller may also be paid—totally or in part—through the use of vouchers, gift certificates or other similar means issued by the Seller and/or by authorized third parties. The seller has the right to verify the validity of the vouchers, gift certificates or other similar means.

4.2 The Retail Prices and Final Prices are inclusive of VAT and any other applicable taxes. The delivery charges are included and specified in the Final Price and, unless otherwise specified and barring special promotions occasionally offered by the Seller, shall be borne by the Customer. The Customer will be told the Final Price before he/she is asked to confirm the order by clicking on the “CONFIRM PURCHASE” button.

4.3 If Products are to be delivered outside of the EU, the Customer may be subject to import duties and taxes, which will be levied once the Products reach their destination. Any charges for customs clearance and/or for any taxes levied shall be borne by the Customer. The Customer is advised to contact his/her local customs office for any necessary information. The Customer is deemed to be the importer of the Products and must therefore comply with all relevant national law and regulations of the country in which the Products are delivered.

4.4 Despite the best efforts of the Seller, some Product(s) on the Website may be mispriced. Upon receipt of the order, the Seller will verify the pricing before taking payment. If, with the exception of promotional sales, the actual Retail Price, i.e. the price the Seller has decided to charge for a specific Product, is higher than the Retail Price shown on the Website, the Seller will contact the Customer to inquire whether the Customer wants to purchase the Product at the correct Retail Price. If the actual Retail Price is lower than the Retail Price on the Website, only the lesser amount will be charged and the Product(s) will be delivered.

5. Availability of products

5.1 The Seller shall use its best endeavours to keep the Website as updated as possible with regard to the availability of Products and shall check, before sending the formal confirmation pursuant to art. 3.5, the availability of the selected Product(s). The Customer expressly recognizes the option of the Seller to only partially confirm the order, since it may, nonetheless, occur that some or all of the selected Product(s) ordered by the Customer are not available. In that case, the contract will only be concluded for the Product(s) actually available and confirmed.

5.2 Should some or all Product(s) ordered be unavailable, regardless of whether the Customer’s order has been already confirmed, the Seller shall without delay contact the Customer and only the available Products will be delivered. The Retail Price for the unavailable Products shall be reimbursed and/or restored to the Customer’s credit card or PayPal balance within 14 days. Should all the products be unavailable, the Seller shall also reimburse and/or restore the delivery charges.

A) online using a Visa and/or Mastercard and/or American Express credit card.
