The password is strictly personal and non-transferable. In the event of theft or loss, it will be the Customer's responsibility to modify it or promptly request its deactivation from the Company.

3. PURCHASE OF GOODS AND METHOD OF PAYMENT

3.1 The Platform allows the Purchaser to access a virtual catalog of Products and select those he intends to purchase.

3.2 The Customer has the right to customize the search for Design Objects by setting a series of search parameters. These criteria make it possible to identify the Products on the basis of the selected characteristics, including, but not limited to, the type and price range.

3.3 Once the Good has been selected, the Customer will be able to view the product sheet with the characteristics of the Good.

3.4 Registering for an Account is not necessary to complete the purchase of the Goods, the Customer being able to purchase as a simple Visitor. Nonetheless, registering for an Account will allow the Purchaser, especially in the case of recurring purchases, to complete transactions more quickly, keep the receipt address separate from the shipping address, save personal data and the delivery address avoiding the reinsertion of the same at each new operation.

3.5 If the Customer already has an Account, he can log in and confirm his wish to proceed with the purchase using the virtual confirmation key. The Customer will be redirected to the payment page where he can complete the order by proceeding directly with the payment. Before the transaction is completed and the payment made, it will always be possible to modify the data entered.

3.6 The purchase will take place electronically by selecting the acceptance box of the General Conditions and pressing the virtual payment button with which the Customer will confirm the desire to conclude a purchase contract with the Manager. When the Seller receives the order and after verifying the successful outcome of the payment, the latter will send the Buyer a confirmation message via e-mail containing the order summary and will instruct the shipper to deliver the ordered Goods. The Customer may view the history of purchases made on the Portal at any time.

3.7 The User agrees to conclude the Contract only after having read and fully understood these General Conditions. Both during the purchase and registration phase, the Customer will be responsible for communicating truthful, updated and correct personal data.

If the User decides to pay the fee by credit card, he authorizes the Manager to debit or request authorization to debit the payment card used.

3.9 The use of the indicated payment systems could involve the registration of an account with the external suppliers who manage the payment services. Creating an account implies acceptance of their terms of service. The User is aware and accepts that by purchasing a Product he will have to communicate his payment details to the external supplier who manages the payment services. The Manager does not access payment data.

3.10 Customers will have the opportunity to issue an evaluation by assigning a score to the purchased Product. The comments and opinions released by the Purchaser will be public and visible to any Visitor. The score is assigned on the sidelines of a short questionnaire, to which the Customer will be free to answer or not. The Customer undertakes to release comments free of offensive, inappropriate, vulgar or defamatory content. The Manager reserves the right, at its discretion or upon notification, to evaluate the judgments issued and their compliance with this paragraph, the law or morality, reserving the right to remove all those judgments that distort competition, are clearly false or in any case inappropriate, including any self-assessments.

In the event of the Purchaser's absence during the Product delivery phase, a notice will be left with the information necessary to contact the carrier with whom to arrange a second delivery. It is understood that, in the event of non-delivery due to the Buyer's absence, it will be the latter's responsibility to make the necessary contact with the shipper or postal service to agree on the delivery time or collection at the warehouse where the Goods will be placed in stock. Failure to request a new delivery by the Purchaser will result in the termination of this Contract, with the Customer entitled to receive a refund of the amount paid, without prejudice to the costs of storage, return and any other cost incurred by the Seller due to the failure delivery due to absence or refusal to receive the Goods by the Customer.
