3. Product purchase – Conclusion of each single purchase contract

3.1. The presentation of the Products on the Site, which are not binding for the Seller, is merely an invitation to the Client to make a contractual offer to purchase and is not an offer to the public. The purchase order submitted by the Client to the Seller via the Site shall be a valid contractual offer and is subject to these General Terms and Conditions of sale, which form an integral part of said order; by placing an order with the Seller the Client undertakes to fully accept the same without reservation.

4.1. Whilst the Site generally states whether or not Products are available and the relevant delivery times, such information is purely indicative and under no circumstances binding on the Seller.

4.2. The Seller undertakes to do everything within its power to comply with the delivery times given on the Site. Anyway, the Seller is not able to communicate with certainty the delivery date since the shipping service is supplied by third parties. Supplying dates, therefore, are given for indication only.

The Client undertakes to promptly check, as quickly as possible, that the delivery is correct and includes all and only the purchased Products, and to notify the Seller, within this deadline, of any faulty products received or any discrepancy between the order and the goods actually received, following the procedure referred to in art. 7 of this contract; failure to do so will infer that the Products shall be deemed as accepted. In the event that the packaging or boxing of the Products ordered by the Client reaches its destination visibly damaged, the Client is invited to refuse to accept the delivery from the carrier/courier or accept the delivery with reservations.

5. Prices, shipping costs, customs duties and taxes
