Purchase or request for supply through the Application

All the Products offered through the Application are described in detail in the relevant product pages (quality, characteristics, availability, price, delivery times, accessory charges, etc.). There may be some errors, inaccuracies or small differences between what is published on the Application and the actual Product. Furthermore, any images of the Products are only representative and do not constitute a contractual element.

Purchases and/or requests for the supply of one or more Products through the Application are permitted to Consumer Users.

Natural persons are allowed to purchase and / or request for supply only on condition that they are of legal age. For minors, any purchase and/ or request for the supply of Products through the Application must be examined and authorized by the parents or by the operators of parental responsibility.

The offer of the Products through the Application constitutes an invitation to offer, and the order sent by the User will be valid as a contractual proposal for purchase and / or supply request, subject to confirmation and / or acceptance by the Owner as described below. Therefore, the Owner will have at its sole discretion, the right to accept or not the User's order without the latter being able to object or complain about anything for any reason and / or reason.

The contract of sale or supply of the Products is concluded with the acceptance by the Owner of the User's contractual proposal. The Owner will accept the User's contractual proposal by sending the order confirmation to the e-mail address indicated by the User or by viewing an order confirmation web page, which will show the date of the order, the User's data, the characteristics and availability of the Product, the price or the method of calculating the price, any additional charges and ancillary taxes,  the timing of supply and execution, the methods to exercise the right of withdrawal or its possible exclusion and the guarantee.

The contract of sale or supply of the Products is not considered effective between the parties in the absence of what is indicated in the previous point.

If the Product is not available, the Owner will inform the User of the new terms of delivery or supply, asking if he intends to confirm the order or not. It is understood that the contract will be considered perfected in relation to the Products accepted by the Owner.

The User undertakes to verify the correctness of the data contained in the order confirmation and to immediately notify the Owner of any errors and will keep a copy of his order, the relative confirmation, and the Conditions.

 

Prices and payments

For each Product the price including VAT is indicated, if due. If the nature of the Product makes it impossible to calculate it in advance, the methods of calculating the price are indicated.

The Application uses third-party tools for payment processing and does not in any way come into contact with the payment data provided (number of credit cards, name of the holder, password, etc.).

If such third-party instruments should deny authorization to pay, the Owner will not be able to supply the Products and cannot be considered in any way responsible.

 

Invoicing

If the User does not intend to accept the new term or the supply has become impossible, he may request a refund of the amount paid which will be credited promptly in the same payment methods used by the User for the purchase at the latest within 14 days from the date on which the Owner became aware of the refund request.
