Payment of the total price of the Order is a prerequisite for the Contract to be concluded and the order to be processed.

Once the order has been submitted and the payment of the Price has been made, the Customer will receive, within the strictly necessary technical time, by e-mail, a communication confirming acceptance of the Order by the Seller and payment of the price, containing a summary of the contents of the Order itself.

Together with this communication, the Customer will receive a copy of the information notice on the processing of personal data (of which the Customer always has the possibility to view on this Site, however), information on how to exercise the right of withdrawal, if any, and the tracking code necessary to monitor the delivery of the Good through the carrier.

If the Customer has requested to pick up the Goods directly from the Seller ("pick up in store" option), the tracking code will not be communicated, and the different procedure set forth in Article 4 below will apply.
2.4. Conclusion of the Contract: the contract between the Customer and the Seller shall be deemed concluded upon receipt by the Customer of the notice of acceptance of the Order by the Seller and payment of the relevant price.
2.5. Archiving of the Order: The Order form will be archived in the Platform's database for the period of time necessary for the execution of the same and in any case within the terms of the law.

Unavailability of the Good: If, for any reason, the Good is no longer available from the Seller, the Seller may temporarily suspend the execution of the Order by contacting the Customer, by e-mail, within 5 (five) working days following the submission of the order form. The Seller will provide the Customer with all information regarding the expected timing of restocking and delivery of the Good and may also propose to the Customer a Good with equivalent characteristics and value as a replacement for the unavailable Good.

The Customer has the right, in this case, to withdraw from the contract and cancel the Order, rejecting any alternative proposal received from the Seller. If the payment of the Price has already been made, the Customer will receive a full refund of the amounts paid in accordance with the time and manner provided for in Article 8 below.

2.8. Extralarge Good: If the subject of the order is a bulky good (Extralarge Good), the Order transmitted by the Customer will be taken as a mere reservation of the Extralarge Good by the Customer free of charge, and no charge will be made.

Following the reservation, the Customer will receive, within the necessary technical time, a communication by e-mail containing a summary of the contents of the reservation of the Extralarge Good, with the express indication that the Price will not be charged.
