1.     ACCEPTANCE OF THE GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE AND CLOSING

 

1.1     VALENTINO offers Products for sale on the Website to end consumers, namely, to persons acting for purposes that are wholly outside that individual’s trade, business, craft or profession (“Customer”). VALENTINO (hereinafter also the “Seller”) reserves therefore the right not to process orders placed by a person other than the “consumer”. 

1.2     The sale agreement between VALENTINO and the Customer (the “Agreement”) shall become binding upon VALENTINO's acceptance of the Order, which will take place when the Customer receives VALENTINO email confirming the Order (the “Order Confirmation”). If VALENTINO is unable to accept the Customer's order, will inform the Consumer in writing and will not charge for the Product. For more detail regarding rejection of a Customer's order see clause 2.4.

1.3     By placing an Order - with the order form made available on the Website - the Customer declares that it has read and understood all the indications given during the purchase procedure, and that it accepts, in full, these sale terms & conditions (hereinafter, the “Conditions”).

1.4     These Conditions will be sent within the Order Confirmations and, in any case, may be printed or stored on permanent storage devices directly from the Website, in accordance with the applicable legislation currently in force. 

 

2.     HOW TO BUY THE PRODUCTS

2.1     The Products offered for sale by VALENTINO are only and exclusively the ones displayed on the Website when the Order is placed, as described in the relevant product information sheet. It remains in any case understood that the images of the products on the Website are for illustrative purposes only. Although VALENTINO makes every effort to display the colours accurately, it cannot guarantee that they are accurately reflected on the Customer’s device/screen: the product delivered to the Customer may vary slightly from those images. 

The Customer can place an Order by duly filling-in the order form made available on the Website and send it in accordance with the indications provided in the Website, after having carefully reviewed the product specifications, the relevant price (inclusive of all applicable taxes and charges), shipping costs (including the ancillary costs that may be incurred in case a shipping and delivery method quicker and/or different from the standard one is chosen). The Customer may also request VALENTINO the invoice for the purchased Product, by checking the relevant flag on the order form.

2.2     VALENTINO will confirm that the Order has been properly received by sending the Order Confirmation to the address notified by Customer. The Order Confirmation will contain these Conditions and the summary document on the Right of Withdrawal and therefore, all of the information that is already contained in the order review displayed prior to making the purchase (the products' main characteristics, detailed information on the price, terms of payment, return policy and shipping costs).

2.3     Within the limits of the applicable laws, VALENTINO may not process purchases when there are not sufficient guarantees of solvency on the payment method choosen, when orders are incomplete or incorrect, when the products are no longer available or in any other case where there are substantial problems with the Order or errors in the presentation of the Product or selection on the Site. The Customer will be informed by email of the Order cancellation, with the reasons thereof. If the products displayed on the Website are no longer available once the Seller has received the order form, Customer will be informed of such unavailability as soon as possible. If the order form has been sent and the price has been paid for items that are no longer available, the Seller will refund, without undue delay, the amount paid for those items and the sale agreement between the parties will be deemed terminated.

3.      PRICE AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

 

3.1     The prices indicated on the Website are inclusive of taxes and VAT, when applicable and where possible to calculate in advance under the applicable fiscal laws. Customer shall be informed in advance of shipping costs or fees, if any, through the Website.

Under no circumstance, costs higher than those effectively incurred by the Seller will be charged, in relation to your previously selected payment method.

3.3     In case of payment by Credit/Debit Card, all details (for example, card number or expiration date) will be automatically sent by encrypted protocol to the bank which provides remote electronic payment services, without VALENTINO having any knowledge of such data. Such details will not be used by the Seller except for performing the procedure relevant to the purchase or issuing refunds in the case of returns in compliance with the exercise of the return right or for reporting cases of fraud to the police.

3.4     Under no circumstances and at no stage of the payment process, the details of the Customer’s electronic payment methods will be disclosed to VALENTINO by the bank because such details will be directly sent, in a secure manner, to the website of the financial institution in charge of the transaction. Since none of such data will be stored in VALENTINO’s files, VALENTINO will not be liable for fraudulent and unlawful uses, if any, made by third parties of the Customer’s payment method during the payment procedure except to the extent that the misuse is due to the negligence, fraud or unlawful conduct of Valentino. 

3.5     The price for the Products and the corresponding costs for shipping and delivery, as indicated in the Order form, will be charged to the Customer’s current account only when the purchased Products are actually shipped.
