Sale Conditions of Sardinia eCommerce

1. Purpose of the application and conclusion of the contract
1.1 These General Sale Terms and Conditions aim to rule the offer and sale of products and /or services offered for sale on Sardinia eCommerce Marketplace through the Website, whenever the purchase contract for such products and /or services is concluded through the Site ("Products").

5.3. Product availability is monitored and updated. However, since the Site can be visited by multiple users at the same time, it could happen that several users buy the same Product at the same time. In such cases, therefore, the Product could be, for a short period of time, available, while it is instead exhausted or not available immediately since it is necessary to reorder.
5.4 If the Product is no longer available for the reasons above described or in other cases of unexpected unavailability, without prejudice to the rights attributed to the user by law, and, in particular, by Chapter XIV of Title II of Book IV of the Civil Code , the Seller will immediately notify the user sending an e-mail. The latter will therefore be entitled to terminate the contract immediately, pursuant to and for the purposes of the provisions of Law art. 61, IV and V paragraph, of the Consumer Code. The termination of the purchase contract pursuant to this paragraph involves the resolution of any accessory contract.
It is understood that as this is a contract between the Seller and the User, the Supplier is free from any responsibility in this regard.

5.5 In case the user wants to apply the right of resolution pursuant to art. 61, IV and V paragraph, Consumer Code or if he does not make any choice pursuant to art. 5.4 above reported and the payment of the total due amount, consisting of the price of the Product, delivery costs, in case, and any other additional costs, as resulting from the order ("Total Amount Due") have already occurred , the Supplier will reimburse the Total Due Amount without delay and, in any case, within the term of 14 working days from the day of termination of the contract or, respectively, from the day following the sending of the order. In case of payment made by credit card or PayPal, this amount will be credited through the same payment method used by the user for the purchase. Any delay in crediting may depend on the bank, the type of credit card or the used payment solution. In other cases, the Supplier will ask the user to provide, by e-mail, the bank details necessary for the repayment. The termination of the purchase contract pursuant to the preceding articles entails the resolution of any other possible accessory contract.
5.6 In case of orders concerning a plurality of Products ('' Multiple Orders “), if the unavailability concerns only some of the Products covered by the Multiple Order - without prejudice to the rights attributed to the user by the law, and, in particular , according to the Chapter XIV of Title II of Book IV of the Civil Code, and without prejudice to the application of the articles 5.4 and 5.5 that precede, if the unexpected unavailability concerns all the Products object of the order - each Seller, involved in the order and whose product is not available, will immediately notify the user by e-mail. The user can immediately terminate the contract, limited to the Product and/ or Products that have become unavailable pursuant to and for the purposes of the provisions of art. 61, IV and V paragraph, of the Consumer Code, sending a request to the Seller from the Private Area of ​​your account with which the order was placed. The termination of the purchase contract pursuant to this paragraph entails the termination of any accessory contract to the one partially completed and it is limited to the case in which the accessibility of the Product (s) have become unavailable.
Alternatively and without prejudice to this right, the user can accept one of the following proposals made by the Seller:
i) if it is possible to restock the Products subject of the Multiple Order become unavailable, the user can accept a delay in the delivery terms for these Products and the seller will indicate a new delivery time for the same;
(i) if it is not possible to restock the Product and /or Products become unavailable , the supplier can replace those Products with different ones with equivalent value.
5.7 In case the user wants to apply the right of resolution pursuant to art. 61, IV and V paragraph of the Consumer Code, the purchase contract concerning the Product and /or the Products become unavailable will be partially terminated, limited to this /these Product/s, with consequent restitution, if it has already been paid, of the due amount for these Products, including delivery costs, calculated as indicated in the art. 10.3 below, and any other possible due additional costs linked to these Products ("Partial Due Amount "). The resolution of the whole Multiple Order will be possible only in case of evident and proven accessories of the Products covered by the Multiple Order which have become unavailable with respect to the other Products object of the Multiple Order still available.

The termination of the purchase contract pursuant to the preceding articles entails the resolution of any other possible accessory contract.
6.1 Each Product is accompanied by its Product Card. Images and descriptions on the Site reproduce their characteristics as faithfully as possible. However, the colors of the Products may differ from the actual colors due to the settings of the computer systems or the computers used by client for their display. Furthermore, the images of the Products on the Site may differ in size or in relation to any accessory products. These images must therefore be intended as indicative and with tolerances of use. For the purposes of the purchase contract, the description of the Product, contained in the order form sent by the user, will prevail.
7.1 All Product prices published on the Site are reported in Euros, they include VAT and, where applicable, of WEEE contributions.

8.2 The ownership of the Products will be transferred to the user at the time of shipment, or better said when the delivery of the Product is entrusted to the carrier ("Shipping").

9.1.3 If the Supplier does not receive these documents or receives expired or invalid ones, the contract will be considered terminated pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 1456 of the Civil Code, and the order consequently will be delated, without prejudice to the Supplier's right to compensation for any damage that it may incur due to the user's non-compliant behavior. The termination of the contract, of which the user will be notified by e-mail, no later than 5 working days from the deadline for sending the documents requested by the Supplier, will result in the cancellation of the order with consequent reimbursement of the Due Total Amount , if already paid, by crediting it with the same payment used method.

9.1.4 The Supplier uses Paypal Business secure payment service.

9.3.2 In case of payment completed with PayPal, the Total Due Amount will be charged by the latter to the user together with the conclusion of the online contract.
