b) Read and accept the present Conditions by ticking the confirmation box;
c) Fill out, by entering all the data requested, the electronic order form present on the De Marco on-line shop site (hereinafter “the Form”) and which is therefore to be considered as an order/contract proposal (hereinafter “the Order”).
It is specified that the Form contains a summary of the General Conditions, the key features of each Product ordered and the respective price (including all applicable taxes or duties), the means of payment the Customer may use to purchase each Product, the methods available for delivering the Products purchased, shipping and delivery costs, the conditions for exercising the Customer's right of withdrawal, and the methods and times for returning the Products purchased;

The Customer (if a registered user) will be able to access his own Form by consulting the section of the De Marco on-line shop “Order List” within the “user profile”.
2.3 De Marco will send the Customer, at the e-mail address provided on the Form, an automatic Order Confirmation (hereinafter “the Order Confirmation”) containing a summary of the information contained on the Form, such as, by way of example and not exhaustive: the conditions applicable to the contract; the key features of the Products sold; a detailed indication of the price, the means of payment, the costs of delivery, the taxes applicable and the terms of withdrawal.
2.4 The contract is considered concluded when De Marco sends the Order Confirmation.
2.5 Even though the Order Confirmation has been sent, De Marco shall have the right NOT to proceed with the Orders under clause 3) in the following cases:
a) De Marco has not received payment for the Products;
b) The data the Customer has entered on the Form are incomplete and/or incorrect;
c) The Products ordered by the Customer are not available, even temporarily;

2.6 If De Marco does NOT intend to execute an Order, it will have to perform the following activities in a timely manner, and in any case within 30 (thirty) days from the day after the Order has been transmitted, or from the moment it becomes known that it is impossible to fulfil the contract:
a) inform the Customer by e-mail; in the case of point 2.5 letter c) above, the Customer will be informed of the estimated waiting time and may decide to keep the order on hold in accordance with what is established in point 5;
b) reimburse the Customer the sums paid for the Order promptly and in any case within 30 days from the ascertained impossibility of executing the contract.
3. PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 Unless the product specification or order confirmation indicates otherwise, the Customer acknowledges that the products are not approved for road use and therefore may only and exclusively be used for other purposes, such as, for example, exhibitions, events, trade fairs or use on road circuits closed to public transit.
3.2 De Marco therefore declines all responsibility if the Customer uses the Products for normal road traffic, and will not be liable for damage caused to property and/or persons by usage in a way other than that described in the previous clause.
4. PRICE AND MODE OF PAYMENT
4.1 The Customer may pay the price of the Products as follows:

5. TERMS OF DELIVERY
5.1 De Marco will ship the Products as soon as possible after receiving the relevant payment. If De Marco is not able to ship the Products within 30 (thirty) days after receipt of payment, De Marco will notify the Customer indicating the estimated shipping date and the Customer can decide whether to accept said date or cancel the Order and obtain a refund of the amount paid. If the Customer decides to cancel the Order, he waives the right to claim any compensation for damages due to delay.
6. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
6.1 Before the Products have been shipped, the Customer shall be entitled to exercise the right of withdrawal, without any penalty, by cancelling the Order by email within 14 (fourteen) days from the date of the Order;
6.2 After the Products have been shipped, the Customer shall be entitled to exercise the right of withdrawal, communicating said withdrawal within 14 (fourteen) days from the day in which the Products have been received, by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt or by certified email (hereinafter, “the Communication”). The Communication may also be sent, within the same time span, by telegram, fax and/or email, provided that it is confirmed by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt within the following 48 (forty-eight) hours.
6.3 The Communication must contain:
a. the intention to withdraw from the contract;
b. order identification data;
c. indication of the Product(s) for which the right of withdrawal is being exercised.
6.4 The right of withdrawal shall be deemed to have been properly exercised by the Customer if all the following conditions are met:
a. The Communication has been sent to De Marco within the terms of clause 6.2;
b. The Communication contains the data referred to in clause 6.3;
c. The Products have not been altered and/or damaged. If there is a drop in the value of the Products as a result of their being handled for reasons other than for what is necessary to establish that they are functioning properly, De Marco will reduce the refund referred to in clause 6.5 letter b) below “proportionally”;
d. The Products are returned in their original packaging, even if this has been damaged by being opened;
e. The Products are sent to De Marco in a single shipment and within 15 (fifteen) days from the date on which the Customer has validly communicated his intention to withdraw from the contract.

a. Send an email to the Customer informing them of receipt of the returned Products;
b. refund the Customer the sums paid for the Product within 30 (thirty) working days from the date on which the Products were received by De Marco.
6.6 The actual time for the chargeback or refund of the sums pursuant to clause 6.5 letter b) varies with the credit/debit card used and therefore no delay can be attributed to De Marco in relation to the chargeback. In any case, the date of the chargeback will be the same as that of the charge itself and the Customer will therefore not suffer any loss in terms of bank interest. This refund will be made by De Marco to the person who made the payment, even if they are not the recipient of the Products indicated on the Form.
6.7 The only expenses due by the Customer to exercise the right of withdrawal in accordance with clauses 6.2 - 6.5 are the direct expenses for returning the Products to De Marco.

In this case, the Customer may choose to reacquire the purchased Products at his own expense, informing De Marco by email; if the Customer is not interested, De Marco reserves the right to retain the Products charging a penalty equal to 30% of the amount paid by the Customer.
