2. CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT

2.1. For a purchase order on the Website to be legally passed, the Customer has to be prepared to provide an e-mail address and to be in possession of the requirements laid down by the law to legally execute purchase contracts.

2.2. All the Contracts are solely concluded through the telecommunications access to the Website on the part of the Customer. Following the procedures indicated on the Website, Customers are guided through the various stages that lead to the conclusion of the selected Product's purchase contract.

2.3. The page of the Website dedicated to forwarding purchase orders contains a link to the General Conditions of Sale and contains information about every ordered Product's main characteristics and applicable price (including applicable taxes in the Countries belonging to the European Union), the type of payment used to purchase, the Products' terms of delivery, the charges requested for the delivery and transport and the terms and conditions for the return of Products purchased through the Website. The Products' illustration and price indication is merely an invitation to forward a purchase order.

2.4. The Seller is entitled not to accept purchase orders: (a) from persons who do not qualify as Consumers as indicated under point 1.5 of these General Conditions; (b) that are not fully, correctly and accurately filled in; (c) from persons who do not provide solvency guarantees; (d) of Products for delivery in Countries for which the forwarding service is not specified. The Seller reserves the right to ask the Customer to send the documentation as proof of the veracity of the information provided by the Customer and to subordinate the acceptance of the purchase order to the positive examination of this documentation. The Products are available for the purchase as long as they are still visible on the Website and, in any case, as long as they are present in the Seller's inventory. The Seller reserves the right not to accept purchase orders whenever Products are unavailable for any reason whatsoever albeit only temporarily. The Seller will inform the Customer via e-mail that the purchase order has not been accepted.

2.5. All the purchase orders transmitted to the Seller must have been filled in completely. The Seller is entitled to refuse incomplete orders. Before proceeding with the order's dispatch, it will be suggested to the Customers: (a) to read again the purchase order and correct, following the special instructions, any errors that have been committed while filling in the blank spots; (b) to read the General Conditions and the report on the right of withdrawal and to print and keep aside a copy of them for their personal use; (c) to comply with what is specified under clause 8 of these General Conditions and in the Privacy section. Once the purchase order has been transmitted, the provisions set under the letters from “a” to “c” of this point will respectively be considered correct and fully understood and accepted.

2.6. The Seller will acknowledge receipt of each purchase order through a message sent to the e-mail address indicated by the Customer. The purchase order is applicable as the Customer's on-line contractual proposal. The Seller's confirmation of the purchase order, transmitted to Customers at the e-mail addresses indicated by them, confirms the data of the purchase order and constitute a valid acceptance of the contractual proposal. The Contract is considered concluded, and binding on both parties, at the time in which the purchase order's confirmation is sent to the Customer. Once the Contract has been concluded, the purchase order will be processed as soon as possible. The purchase order will be filed in the Seller's database and the Customers can consult it at any time by accessing their Account.

2.7. Without prejudice to what is specified otherwise in the General Conditions, it is agreed that every order's content is that of separate and severable acts of sale for each specified item, as many as the ordered Products. Therefore, by forwarding purchase orders for several Products, the Customers consent to these orders being only partially accepted by the Seller (due to the unavailability of some Products or for some other justified reason) and the Customer is bound to purchase and pay for the Products concerning the orders passed. The partial carrying out of orders on the part of the Seller cannot, therefore, be refused by the Customer nor, without prejudice to the right of withdrawal, will it entitle the Customer to revoke the order itself.

3. PRICES OF PRODUCTS AND PAYMENT

3.1. All the Products' sale prices indicated on the Website, unless stated otherwise, include VAT and any other tax in force in the Countries belonging to the European Union.

3.2. The prices of Products indicated on the Website time by time annul and replace the previous prices. The price of Products applicable to the Customer will be indicated on the Website at the time of forwarding the purchase order.

Payments made through credit cards or with other electronic forms are carried out through a protected link, directly connected to the Bank that is the owner and managing agent of the on-line payment service with which the Seller has an arrangement or on one of the international payment networks (for example, PayPal). The Seller does not come into possession of the Customer's credit card data and may not be held responsible for any of its fraudulent uses.

3.4. The Products' purchase price and delivery expenses will be debited by the Seller to the Customer at the time of acceptance of the purchase order, unless they are paid through cash on delivery where allowed. Where, for any reason whatsoever, it is impossible to debit the amount due, the sale process will automatically be terminated, the sale will be cancelled and any sums already debited to the Customer against the prospected sale will be credited again at their face value.

The fiscal documentation (invoice) is issued by the Seller according to data concerning the user's code as generated upon registering on the Website.
