1. Object
The present General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereafter “General Conditions of Sale”) govern the purchase of products (hereafter, “Products”) carried out by means of a remote online system through the website [Removed](hereafter, Website) owned by Yachting and car ideas sas , with registered offices in Via Baracca 15, 48121 Ravenna, (Italy). Every purchase transaction will be possible, following registration to the website or otherwise by the website visitor (hereafter referred to as User). Thus, by registering on the website or with the simple purchase transaction and in fact with the simple submission of the purchase order, Users agree to be bound by the present general conditions and authorise the processing of their personal data. To register on the Website or to undertake any purchase transactions, Users should be over 18 years old and fill out all the required fields on the registration form.
1.1 Unofficial translations are available in English: however, the Contract is governed by Italian Law and has been drawn out in Italian. If there are any differences between the two texts, the Italian version shall prevail.
2. Subject of the Contract
Any transaction between Yachting and car ideas sas and every website User will be governed by the present general conditions, by the specific conditions relating to the respective purchase, by that indicated in the privacy policy statement as provided for by Legislative Decree 196/2003, art. 13 (hereafter, “Privacy Policy”) on the subject of processing the Users personal data (hereafter, “Personal Data”) that the User must authorise and accept as an essential condition for the completion, effect and validity of the contract and of any purchase. Only in the case that the Buyer is a Consumer (that is an individual who is purchasing goods for purposes that are not related to his/her professional or business activities), transactions are also governed by the provisions set out in Legislative Decree n. 185/99. In this case, the User/Consumer undertakes, once the online purchase procedure has been concluded, to print and save the present General Conditions of Sale, having already read and accepted them during the purchase procedure, in order to fully satisfy the condition stated in articles 3 and 4 of the Legislative Decree n. 185/1999. In any case, it should be noted that any purchase must be carried out strictly for personal purposes as it is expressly forbidden to undertake purchases for commercial purposes and thus for the resale of the purchased Product by the User/Buyer, whether he is a Consumer or otherwise (for example a company and/or self-employed trade professional).
2.1 Acceptance of the General Conditions of Sale
Hence upon registration, the User declares to have carefully read The General Conditions of Sale and the Privacy Policy, undertaking to read them carefully again every time the Website is used (that is to say, at the time of every purchase the specific conditions governing each purchase must be newly accepted) and every time there are any variations or changes to the General Conditions of Sale, as described below.
The User, by submitting a purchase order online, unconditionally accepts the present General Conditions and the specific conditions, and also undertakes to fulfil all obligations stated therein.
By registering on or using the Website, the User undertakes to abide by the General Conditions of Sale and the Privacy Regulations, to provide true personal data and to protect the chosen login credentials.
The user undertakes not to provide false personal information or to create an Account in the name of someone else without their written authorisation, to not create more than one account, to not share one’s login credentials and to keep them secret, to not allow others to access one’s Account or to carry out any other actions that may undermine the security of one’s Account. In case of breach of these obligations, the User will bear all related responsibilities (even for third parties) and will release Yachting and car ideas sas from any liability that could arise as a result.
If the User completes the registration procedure, Yachting and car ideas sas will send a confirmation e-mail listing the account details to the address provided by the User.
3. Changes to the Contract
Yachting and car ideas sas reserves the right to change the contents of the Website and/or the General Conditions of Sale at any time, with no advance notice and without sending individual notification of the changes to the Users, but will only publish a statement highlighting the changes on the Website homepage for a minimum of thirty days. The changes and/or variations will take effect and be applicable after thirty days from the date of publishing the statement on the Website.
3.1 If a User, who has created an account by registering on the site, does not want to accept the changes, the User’s account must be deleted using the procedures described below: if an account is not deleted, this will automatically imply the acceptance of the General Conditions of Sale as they have been modified and/or varied. The only right that Users can exercise if they do not intend to accept the aforementioned changes and/or variations is thus represented exclusively by the option to delete their account.
3.2 Account deletion
Users are free to delete their account at any time by using the “Delete my Account” option that can be accessed through Website settings. When Users delete their Account, the Contract will cease to have effect, save for any purchase orders still being processed and for the clauses that for their nature are destined to subsist after the termination of the agreement (purely by way of example and not limited to the clause related to the governing law and that related to the jurisdiction). Once the Account has been deleted, the Account will no longer be available and the User will lose all related information.
