Introduction
These General Conditions of Sale (hereinafter the “General Conditions”) govern the sale of products marketed by Colmac di Stefano Colizzi P.Iva 05009330753 (hereinafter the “Colmac”) using exclusively remote communication technology (via internet, telephone, fax). All contracts for the purchase of products concluded via the site “www.colmac-italia.com” following the procedures indicated therein (on-line or via telephone), between Colmac and the purchasers (hereinafter “Clients”), will be regulated by these General Conditions, which form an integral and substantial part of the same.
How to conclude the contract
The information contained on the site www.colmac-italia.com should not be considered an offer: they are simply an invitation to offer. The purchase proposal (hereinafter “Order”) is formulated by the Customer at the moment of sending the form containing the characteristics of the goods requested, the price, the chosen payment method and the delivery terms (order form). Once the order form has been definitively sent, a page summarizing the Order is displayed and an e-mail is sent confirming receipt of the Order containing all the information necessary to complete the purchase. All Orders are subject to acceptance by Colmac, which reserves the right, at its own unquestionable discretion, to cancel any Order: in the case of material errors made by the Client in the Order or in the information sent by the Client via the site www.colmac-italia.com; in the case in which the Client does not comply with the General Conditions of Sale listed in this document; or the particular conditions indicated on the site www.colmac-italia.com in the section dedicated to information on how to purchase.
Prices and payment conditions
The sales prices of the Products, which do not constitute an offer to the public pursuant to art. 1336 of the Civil Code, the shipping costs and the payments will be those chosen by the customer on the site www.colmac-italia.com at the time the Order is sent. The client must immediately notify Colmac of any errors or omissions of any kind in the payment conditions and prices, contained in the summary page of the Order and/or in the Order confirmation e-mail. If a different price is affixed to a product received by the client than that presented on the site at the moment of sending the Order, this price will have no validity and, if it is lower than the price paid by the client, it cannot be used by the latter to claim any form of reimbursement or compensation. Colmac reserves the right to change the prices published on this site at any time. The prices of the products published from time to time cancel and substitute the previous ones and are subject to the effective availability of the products. In particular, in the case of products with the wording “promotion with limited availability” or “limited promotion”, the sales price published is subject to variations in relation to the actual availability of the products offered at a reduced price by the suppliers and the expiry date of the promotions. In no case can Colmac be held responsible for variations in the price and/or availability of the products published on the site or for an intervening impossibility to supply the same at the published prices. Colmac also reserves the right to change the terms of payment at any time when, in its opinion, the Customer’s financial condition, previous payment records or the nature of its relationship with Colmac, would suggest such changes.
The Client undertakes to pay the price of the Products ordered by means of one of the following methods of payment: Credit card on-line payment at the same time as confirmation of the Order. In this case for the payment service Colmac will use the PayPal service of PayPal Europe S.à r.l. & Cie (hereinafter “payment service”). In the case of cancellation of the Order by the Client or in the case of non-acceptance of the contract by Colmac, Colmac will request the cancellation of the transaction and the reversal of any amount already debited. The time required to release the initial commitment of the amount of the Order depends exclusively on the payment service chosen by the Client. Once the transaction has been cancelled, Colmac cannot in any case be held responsible for any damages due to the technical times necessary for the payment service to restore the availability of currency on the credit card. At no time during the credit card purchase procedure is Colmac able to know any personal information relative to the credit card holder, as the information is transmitted directly to the protected site of the payment service that manages the transaction. For this reason Colmac cannot be held responsible for any fraudulent use of credit cards by third parties when paying for products purchased on its site.
The Products are delivered in the terms and with the modalities specified in the site www.colmac-italia.com as determined by the Customer at the moment of sending the Order. The transport costs, if requested at the time of sending the Order, are at the expense of the Client, and may vary on the basis of the delivery service chosen for the Order, where this possibility is foreseen, with the exception of any free shipping which will be applied by Colmac for promotional purposes. The transport costs are indicated on the summary page of the Order only in the case of deliveries within Italy. In the event that the Purchase Order foresees the transport of the goods outside of Italy, the shipping costs will vary according to the geographical area of delivery, the weight, the volume and the overall value of the goods. The delivery terms indicated in the terms of transport of the site www.colmac-italia.com are not binding either for Italy or abroad. They simply indicate the period of time that is presumed to be normally necessary to deliver the goods from the time of delivery to the courier in charge. All deliveries are made at street level without telephone notice. If at the time of delivery, the packages delivered by the courier appear visibly damaged or altered (for example, by affixing anonymous adhesive tape or bearing the name of the courier), the customer must affix on all copies of the delivery note the words “Acceptance with reserve” specifying the reason for the reserve. If additional charges are incurred by the Seller due to the fact that the Customer does not allow delivery in the standard manner and within the standard times foreseen at the moment of sending the Order, for example, by requesting extensions of time for delivery, changes of destination or refusing to pay the cash on delivery, Colmac has the right to cancel the delivery and to claim back from the Customer the greater costs sustained.
