GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE

The Conditions of Sale are concluded to govern the contractual relationship between VD and, on the other hand, any Buyer, whether a natural person, who is not acting as a trader, but as a consumer, and who intends to make a purchase through the Site for non-professional use (hereinafter “Consumer“), either a natural or legal person acting in the exercise of their business or professional activity, or an intermediary (“Professional“). When in these Conditions reference is made to the Purchaser, it is intended to include both the Consumer and the Professional; otherwise, reference will be made to the interested party (for example, in the clause relating to the right of withdrawal, which can only be exercised by the Consumer).

Some offers can be conveyed through VD affiliation platforms or through commercial partners, who do not sell the products but refer to the Site where the Buyer can safely take advantage of the offers without an intermediary.

These Conditions of Sale are available to any consumer and can be read or printed before confirming any order to VD and at any time thereafter, it being understood that purchase orders are governed by the Conditions of Sale in force on the date of confirmation of the order.

Acceptance of the conditions

The Buyer acknowledges having read these Terms of Sale before confirming the order.

The fact of confirming an order on the Site implies full compliance by the Buyer with these Conditions of Sale, which the same declares to accept entirely and without reservations and recognizes as the discipline of contractual relations with VD.

These Conditions of Sale will prevail over any other condition appearing in any other document, except with the express and written exception accepted by both parties.

Ability to contract and orders of minors

Non-emancipated minors cannot place orders on the Site.

By placing orders and purchases on the Site, the Buyer guarantees to be of age.

If VD were to record data of minors, by mistake or by deception of the minor himself who did not provide correct information on his age, the minor’s data will be deleted upon receipt of the information.

Order

The information and details contained in the area reserved for e-commerce on the Site should not be considered offers: they simply constitute an invitation to customers to conclude business by forwarding purchase proposals. Each order is valid acceptance of the prices and descriptions of the products offered for sale and the delivery costs.

The automatic registration systems are considered to have proof of the nature, content and date of the order.

VD confirms the acceptance of the order to the Purchaser at the e-mail address communicated by the latter. The sale will be concluded only from the confirmation of the order and the validation of the payment.

The Buyer is responsible for the accuracy of the information indicated at the time of placing the order. In the event of an error in indicating the contact details and data of the recipient, VD cannot be held responsible for the delay and / or error and / or impossibility of delivering the product.

VD reserves the right to cancel any order from a Buyer with whom there was a dispute over a previous order.

Products

(a) Features

The items can be purchased only in the sizes and colors proposed on the Site. The characteristics of each Product are shown on the Site within each product sheet, however the colors of the same may not correspond to the real ones due to the internet browser and the monitor used. The actual measurements of a cut may vary depending on the material used for production.

(b) Availability of the Products

The availability of the Products indicated on the Site refers to the actual availability at the time the Buyer places the order. However, this availability must be considered indicative due to the potential presence on the Site of various users who proceed simultaneously with a purchase deed, so that the products can also be sold to other Buyers between the time of the order and the confirmation of the order.

To this end, VD will not be held responsible for changes in the availability of the Products. If only part of the ordered Products are available and there are no other causes that may legitimize the non-acceptance of the order proposal, VD may proceed with the order proposal limited to the Products available. In the cases indicated above, VD will inform the Customer by e-mail that the order proposal has not been accepted (in whole or in part) specifying the reasons and that, therefore, the contract is not concluded. In this case, VD will reimburse the Customer for any sums already paid by the latter. The purchase contract between the Customer and VD will be concluded only when the Customer’s order is accepted by VD. In this case, VD will send the Customer, to the e-mail address provided by the latter, the confirmation that the purchase order is in progress.

Price

Each order sent by a Buyer to VD implies acceptance of the sale prices of the items and delivery costs shown on the Site when the Buyer confirms the order. The prices applicable to the products ordered are those in force on the date the order is confirmed on the Site.

The sale price is the price of the current general price list (“General price list”) or if the product chosen on the Site is in promotion, the promotional price for the duration of the offer itself.

The price is expressed in Euros and is indicated in the Product Sheet, inclusive of taxes, VAT included based on the applicable rate for a sale to Italy. For deliveries outside Italy, the prices are indicated at the time the order is validated. All taxes, duties, tariffs, licenses, authorizations, permits and any and all customs, fiscal and administrative fulfillment on which any importation and in any case the Delivery of the Products depend (with particular but not exclusive reference to the countries not belonging to the European Union) must be considered the sole responsibility of the Purchaser, who must act promptly to carry out the necessary obligations and pay the related payments.

The price may be changed at the time of validation of the order to take into account the tax rate of the country of destination charged to the Buyer.

The price indicated in the product sheets does not include transport. Delivery costs are specified in the cart screen, and are then added to the total to be paid before the order is validated. Shipping is free for orders with delivery in the Italian territory for an amount exceeding 500 euros.

The price indicated in the order confirmation is the final price. The final price includes the price of the products, the handling, packaging and storage costs of the products and the transport costs. Any change in the applicable VAT rate may be reflected in the prices of the products. Similarly, if one or more taxes or contributions are created or modified, up or down, this change may affect the sale price of the items on the Site and in the sales documents.

Price reduction announcements

The advantages and price reductions are calculated on the basis of the general annual price list which constitutes the reference price.

Description of the order forwarding on the Site

By placing the order we mean the set of actions that the user performs from the choice of products to the final validation of the order, so that it is registered. It consists of several stages: Cart / Address (data account) / Delivery methods / Payment.

Registration involves confirming the order.

In the cart validation phase, the order total indicates the amount that must be paid if no other products are added.

At any time before the final validation of the order, you can change or add other products or terminate the order itself.

In accordance with legislation, the user is reminded that the validation of the order obliges him to pay for purchases. When validating the order, the user undertakes to pay according to the methods chosen in the subsequent stages to arrive at the end of the order process.

– Third Phase: identification and account opening.

At this stage, the user creates a personal account or identifies himself if he has one.

Creating an account is recommended because it avoids the user having to enter the personal data necessary for processing the order at each visit to the Site.

It is important to indicate the telephone number, address and e-mail address (e-mail) to allow customer service to contact the user if necessary.

– Fourth Phase: the choice of the method of delivery and payment.

The user selects the delivery method from those proposed depending on the place of delivery and the method of payment.

The amount of the participation in the costs of processing and sending or delivering the order is added to the total of the order or is offered depending on the total of the order (in this case the costs are displayed with the amount equal to zero).

The user is asked to validate the order: “CONFIRM ORDER”.

– Fifth Phase: payment of the order.

The user is asked to proceed with the payment of the order (“PAY Secure payment”), depending on the choice made.

For payment by credit card after validating the order, the user will be forwarded to the secure payment page of the e-commerce service provider chosen by VD for Internet payment security. The order will then be registered.

Confirmation of the order

The accepted order involves the confirmation of the order by sending an email after the registration of the order.

As soon as the order is registered on the Site, a detailed receipt valid as order confirmation will be automatically sent to the user at the e-mail address. This order confirmation will specify the invoiced amount and the order delivery methods.

The return receipts sent automatically to the customer are valid as acceptance of the order only after further verification by the VD customer service of the compliance of the order with the offer.

VD reserves the right to cancel a non-compliant order.

The order confirmation is accompanied by the communication of the general conditions in force on the date of the order and a withdrawal form.

The Buyer enters the credit card number, the cryptogram and the expiry date of the card used on a secure page of our service provider. The payment request is transmitted and forwarded in real time. The payment service provider carries out checks to avoid abuse and fraud.

The bank details are used only for the purpose of carrying out the transaction. VD does not have access to the Buyer’s card identifiers, only the bank has access to them via the secure platform.

The order validated by the Buyer will be considered effective only when the relevant bank payment center has given its agreement. In case of refusal of acceptance, the order will be canceled automatically and the Buyer will be notified by e-mail. VD is not aware of the data relating to the Customer’s credit card.

Credit cards will be subject to checks and authorizations by the issuer of the same. VD will not be responsible for any failure to authorize the entity in question. Once the contract is concluded, the credit card charge will be final.

In accordance with current legislation on electronic signature, the online transmission of the card number for the validation of the order is valid as proof of the order and makes the sums that the Buyer has undertaken to pay for said order payable. No computer archive of VD will keep the data of the credit card used and therefore in no case VD can be held responsible for any fraudulent and improper use of credit cards by third parties at the time of payment.

Fight against fraud
