SUBJECT OF THE ON LINE CONTRACT AND ITS DEFINITION

“Online sales contract” means distance contract, that is to say the legal transaction concerning goods and/or services concluded between a supplier, Meridies snc, and a customer and/or client within a distance selling system organized by the supplier, who, for this contract, exclusively uses the technology of distance communication called “Internet.” All contracts, therefore, will be concluded through direct access by the customer and/or by the client to website www.outsidedifferent.com where, following the indicated procedures, they will conclude the contract for the purchase of the goods. A confirmation regarding the order made may be required from the customer and/or the client. For distance contracts with customers the regulations provided in Section II of the Legislative Decree. N. 206 of 6 September 2005 are explicitly invoked.

 

SALES PRICES AND PURCHASING METHODS

All sales prices of the products displayed and indicated on the website, for which they constitute an offer to the public pursuant to art. 1336 of the Civil Code, are inclusive of V.A.T. and any other tax. The purchase contract is finalized through the consent to the purchase manifested through the adhesion given online by filling out the order form linked to the electronic catalog on the site correctly, and signing it.

 

HOW TO MAKE A PURCHASE ON OUTSIDEDIFFERENT.COM

You can make a purchase order by simply writing your delivery address and giving the data needed for the invoice; there is no need to subscribe or to create an account. To purchase you must:

1) select the data sheet of the item that you want to purchase

2) add the item to the cart

3) once you have chosen all the items that you want to buy, click on “Check out” and enter your data

4) select the method of payment and follow all the instruction to complete your order.

The order will then be considered a purchase contract proposal. Upon receipt of the order, Meridies snc will send the customer an email containing the order number and information about the ordered products, the details of the price of each product, the shipping address as well as the payment methods and the approximate delivery times. This email does not constitute acceptance of the customer’s purchase offer, but merely confirms that the order has been received. Upon receipt of the customer’s order, Meridies snc will verify the availability of the ordered products as well as the correctness of the information provided by the customer.

The sales contract with Meridies snc will only be concluded by Meridies snc sending a separate email accepting the purchase proposal and/or confirming the shipment of the ordered products.

The customer’s order may be refused in the event of an error in the information provided by the customer, in the case of product unavailability, if there are insufficient guarantees of solvency, if the order does not correspond to the normal consumption needs or for force majeure.

If the order cannot be accepted, Meridies snc will communicate, within 10 days of receipt of the order, the impossibility of processing the order, followed by the immediate release of the amount reserved for payment.

In the case of payments made online, the transaction and the transmission of data provided by the customer are made in a secure manner (PayPal).

Alternatively, the customer can also make the payment by bank transfer.

In the case of payment by bank transfer, the customer can only issue the credit after having received from Outside different an e-mail containing the acceptance of the purchase proposal and the bank details.

The purpose for the transfer must include the order number communicated to the customer.

The transfer must be arranged within 5 (five) working days after the receipt of the e-mail containing the acceptance of the purchase proposal and the bank details; after the 5-day deadline has passed, Meridies snc reserves the right to terminate the contract without any payment by the customer.

The Product is shipped after 5 (five) days once payment has been credited to the account.

 

AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS

Meridies snc undertakes, upon receipt of the order by the customer, to check the availability of the product and to confirm by e-mail to process and take charge of the order. Since these items are handmade and in many cases are unique pieces, Meridies snc reserves the right to terminate the contract after communication to the customer, if the article necessary to process the order is not available. Alternatively, if it were instead possible to source the material needed for the production of a specimen similar to the requested article, Meridies snc could propose to the client the creation of an article similar (but not necessarily identical, being unique pieces) to the one proposed for sale on the website.

If there is no stock of a certain item, Meridies snc will try to supply it, if this is not possible, the item will remain sold out or it will no longer be shown on the website.
