(iv) the information submitted by the Customer is false or inaccurate.

 

  1. TERMS OF CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT

2.1. The information and details contained in the e-commerce area on the Site are not to be regarded as offers: they merely constitute an invitation to Customers to conclude business by submitting purchase proposals.

2.2 The proposal to purchase Products is formulated by the Customer when sending the order form in electronic format, which the Customer must complete and confirm on the order summary screen. Once the order form has been definitively sent, an order summary page is displayed and an e-mail confirming receipt of the order is sent. It is also possible for the Customer to indicate a different place of dispatch from the one indicated in the compilation of his personal data.

2.3. By sending the order form, the Customer accepts that the eventual purchase contract will be governed by these General Conditions and therefore that, once the purchase contract has been concluded following acceptance by Sublitex pursuant to Article 2.5. below, the Customer will be obliged to pay for what has been ordered.

2.4. Sublitex shall issue electronic invoices to Customers qualified as Economic Operators. Consequently, Economic Operators shall indicate all the data necessary for the issuance of electronic invoices. Consumers, on the other hand, are entitled to request the issuance of an invoice by choosing the appropriate option in the order form.

2.5. The purchase contract between the Client and Sublitex shall be concluded only when the Client’s purchase proposal, sent via the order form, is accepted by Sublitex. In this case, Sublitex will send the Customer, to the e-mail address provided by the latter, confirmation that the purchase order is being executed.

Therefore, all orders are subject to acceptance by Sublitex, which reserves, at its sole discretion, the right not to process any proposed order in the event that:

(i) the data provided by the Customer when filling out the order form is incomplete or incorrect; (ii) Sublitex has reason to believe that the Customer does not meet the requirements or is not in a position to pay the price of the Products in the manner indicated in Article 3 below.2;

(iii) the Customer has previously breached the General Conditions;

(iv) the Products ordered are not available. For this purpose Sublitex will not be held responsible for variations in the availability of certain Products. If only part of the Products ordered are not available and there are no other causes that may legitimise the non-acceptance of the order proposal, Sublitex will carry out the order proposal limited to the Products available.

(v) Products ordered do not comply with the conditions set forth in Article 3 below. In the cases indicated above, Sublitex will inform the Customer by email that the proposed order has not been accepted (in whole or in part) specifying the reasons and that, therefore, the contract is not concluded. In this case, Sublitex will refund the Customer any sums already paid by the latter.

 

3.AD HOC PRODUCTS

In order to submit a purchase proposal for ad hoc Products, the Customer shall upload the Customer Design on the Site by accessing the relevant Upload Area after registration and following the instructions therein. It shall only be possible to upload Customer Drawings with the format and resolution indicated in the Upload Area.  By uploading the Client Design, the Client declares that the same does not infringe any third party rights, including intellectual property rights, nor violate any regulatory provisions, and declares that it has obtained all necessary and appropriate third party authorisations for the use of the Client Design.

The Customer undertakes to indemnify and hold Sublitex harmless from all expenses, costs, damages, losses relating to requests, claims, demands or actions of third parties relating to and/or connected to: (i) the Customer’s infringement of third party rights (including intellectual property rights); and/or (ii) the Customer’s breach of the General Terms and Conditions or applicable regulatory provisions. Once the Customer has completed uploading the file containing the Customer Drawing, the Customer may submit to Sublitex the proposal to purchase the Products ad hoc pursuant to Articles 2.4. and following. The Customer Drawing will be uploaded by Sublitex onto its servers and in the Upload Area solely for the purpose of enabling Sublitex to manufacture the Product, after Sublitex has accepted the order proposal pursuant to article 2.6 below and may be sold only to the Customer who uploaded the Customer Drawing. The Client acknowledges and accepts that the Client Design will be retained by Sublitex. The Client acknowledges Sublitex’s right to use the Client Drawing (including copying, modifying, transmitting to the press the Client Drawing) solely for the purpose of supplying the ad hoc Products to the Client who made the Client Drawing. If the Client Design should contain images and/or personal data of the Client and/or third parties, Sublitex declares and guarantees that such Client Design will be used in compliance with applicable privacy regulations solely for the purposes of printing and supplying the ad hoc Product and delivery thereof to the Client.
