Where necessary, it will provide the User with the relevant instructions.
The Purchaser may not object to conditions, or request conditions other than those contained in the Conditions in question.

Purchases made on the Website
All the Products available through the Website are described in detail on the respective product pages (characteristics, availability, price, etc.). Any images of the Products are only illustrative, however, and do not constitute a part of the contract.
Purchases of one or more Products from the Website may be made by Consumer Users and Professional Users. This document shall only apply, however, to Consumer Users, namely individuals who are adults and who enter into a contract for purposes not linked to any entrepreneurial, commercial, artisan or professional business conducted (point 1).
Individuals may only make purchases if they are aged 18 or over. For minors, all purchases and/or requests to supply Products made via the Website must be assessed and authorised by their parents or guardians.
The range of Products available on the Website constitutes an invitation to offer. Any orders sent by the User shall be deemed to be contractual purchase proposals, subject to the confirmation and/or acceptance of the Owner, as described below. As a result, the Owner is, at its own discretion, entitled to accept the User’s order or otherwise, whilst the latter may not raise any objections or dispute this in any way and/or for any reason.
The Product sales contract is deemed concluded with the Owner's acceptance of the User's contractual proposal. The Owner shall accept the User’s contractual proposal by sending the order confirmation to the e-mail supplied by the User. This proposal will list the details of the order, the User's details, the characteristics and availability of the Product, the price or means of calculating the price, any further charges and additional taxes, how to get in touch with us and how to return, exchange and register the product.
The contract for sale of the Products shall not be deemed valid if the above have not been respected.
If the Product should not be available, the Owner shall inform the User of the new delivery or supply deadline, and ask the User whether he or she intends to confirm the order. It remains understood that the contract shall be deemed concluded in respect of the Products accepted by the Owner.
The User undertakes to check that the data contained in the order confirmation is correct, and to inform the Owner immediately if it contains any mistakes. The User will keep a copy of his or her order, the confirmation and the Conditions.
Registration
To use the Website's functions, Users must first register by providing all the data requested on the registration form in a truthful and complete manner, and accept the Privacy Policy Privacy (menabocaraccessories.com) and conditions in full.
The User is responsible for keeping his or her access credentials, which must be used solely by the User; they may not be passed on to third parties. The User undertakes to keep them secret and ensure no third party has access to them. He or she shall also immediately notify the Owner if he or she should suspect or become aware of their improper use or distribution.
The User guarantees that the personal information supplied during the registration procedure is complete and truthful, and undertakes to indemnify the Owner and hold it harmless from any damage, compensation obligation and/or penalty arising from and/or in any way associated with the User's breach of the rules for registering with the Website, or on how the registration credentials must be kept.
Cancellation of account and closure
Registered Users may cease to use the Website at any time, and disable their account or request its cancellation using the Website interface, where possible, or by sending a written communication to the e-mail customercare@flli-menabo.it.
In the event that the User should breach the Conditions or applicable legal provisions, the Owner reserves the right to suspend or close the User’s account at any time and without providing any advance notice.
Prices and payments
The price of each Product is shown, already inclusive of VAT. If the nature of the Product should render it impossible to calculate it in advance, the methods used to calculate the price are indicated.
Any taxes or additional expenses that vary according to the payment method used will also be indicated. If these expenses cannot reasonably be calculated beforehand, an indication of the amount which the User will be charged will be given.
The Owner reserves the right to amend the price of Products and any additional costs at any time. It remains understood that any price changes shall in no way affect contracts already made before the change came into force.
The User undertakes to pay the price of the Product within the timeframe and methods indicated on the Website, and to supply any data required.
The Website uses third-party instruments to process payments; it does not come into contact with the payment details supplied in any way whatsoever (credit card number, password, etc.).
If these third-party instruments should deny payment authorisation, the Owner will not be in a position to supply the products, and cannot be considered in any way responsible.
Invoicing
Users wishing to receive an invoice will be asked to provide invoicing details. The information provided by the User will be used for the purposes of issuing the invoice. The User declares and guarantees that this information is truthful, and holds the Owner entirely harmless in respect thereof.
Means of supplying Products and Services
The Owner will supply the Products and Services in accordance with the methods and deadlines indicated on the Website.
If it should not be possible to provide the requested Products and Services by the stipulated deadline, the User will be promptly notified via e-mail with information regarding when the Owner reasonably expects to be able to provide the supply, or the reasons rendering the supply impossible.
If the User should decide not to accept the new deadline, or if it is not possible to fulfil the supply, the User can ask for a refund of any sums paid, which will be reimbursed promptly using the same payment means used by the User to make the purchase, no more than 14 days from the date on which the Owner became aware of the reimbursement request.
Right of Users to withdraw from the purchase of Products
Users are entitled to withdraw without any penalty, and without specifying the reason, within 14 days of the date on which the contract was concluded. They may do so by sending written notice to e-mail customercare@flli-menabo.it, using the optional withdrawal form as per the article below, or any other written declaration.
When withdrawal is carried out correctly, the Owner refunds the User for any payments received using the same payment method as that used by the User for the initial transaction, without undue delay and in any case within 14 days of the User notifying his or her intention of withdrawing from the contract.
The User acknowledges and accepts that he or she will lose the right to withdraw after using a Product supplied by F.lli Menabò.
The User acknowledges and accepts that he or she will lose the right to withdrawal after a service has been provided in full. Where the service should not have been provided in full, and if the User wishes to withdraw from the contract, he or she shall still be obliged to pay the Owner an amount in proportion with the part of the service provided up until the time at which he or she exercised the right of withdrawal.
Cases of exclusion of the User’s right of withdrawal

The above is without prejudice to the application, to Consumer Users whose habitual place of residence is not in Italy, of more favourable and mandatory legal provisions of the country in which they habitually reside, particularly in relation to the deadline for exercising the right of withdrawal, the deadline for returning Products, if such a right is exercised, the methods and formalities adopted for communicating the above, and the legal guarantee of conformity.

As a result, the Consumer User may use this platform for resolving any disputes arising form the contract stipulated online. The platform is available at the following address https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/
