2. Acceptance of the Conditions of Sale
2.1 All purchase orders shall be forwarded by the Purchaser to the Seller by completing the purchasing procedure indicated on the Site.
2.2 These General Conditions of Sale must be examined online by the Purchaser before completing the purchasing procedure. The transmission of the purchase order by the Purchaser, therefore, shall imply that the Purchaser is fully aware of and fully accepts said General Conditions of Sale.
2.3 The Purchaser, by forwarding confirmation of his/her purchase order via the Site, unconditionally accepts and undertakes to comply, in dealings with the Seller, with the General Conditions and the conditions of payment described below, and confirms that he/she has examined and accepts all the indications provided by the Seller in accordance with the norms referred to above, also acknowledging that the Seller shall not be bound by any other conditions unless so agreed in advance in writing.
2.4 Acceptance of the Conditions of Sale shall be confirmed by the exact compilation of all sections of the digital form, following the instructions displayed on the screen and, finally, clicking on the boxes marked ACCEPTANCE OF CONDITIONS OF SALE and PRIVACY POLICY, in this way accepting the content of said documents in their entirety.
3. Method of purchase and sale price
3.1 The products and the sale prices shown on the Site are expressed in Euro and shall in all cases be considered as purely indicative and subject to express confirmation via e-mail by the Seller, which shall constitute acceptance of the purchase order.
3.2 The prices of the products as published on the home page or in the various sections of the Site are inclusive of Value-Added Tax and all other duties and/or taxes, with the exception of any local levies and/or duties which, since these cannot be paid in advance by the Seller, shall be paid by the Purchaser.
Deliveries will be effected to the countries indicated in the home page of the Site www.kuntnerfashion.com, which also specifies the shipping cost for each country. The total cost of the shipment to the domicile of the Purchaser shall be paid by the latter, except in the case of any exceptions and waivers which might be posted specially on the Site and/or communicated via e-mail. In all cases, the cost shall be communicated to the Purchaser prior to confirmation of the purchase order.

3.5 Customs and taxes
Within the EU no customs or taxes have to be paid. For shipments outside the EU we deliver DDU (delivery duty unpaid). This means that all customs and/or extra charges and taxes have to be paid by the customer.
4. Finalization of the Agreement
4.1 The Agreement stipulated via the Site shall be deemed finalized at the moment in which the Purchaser receives, via e-mail, formal confirmation of the order, with which the Seller accepts the order transmitted by the Purchaser and informs the latter that the order can be fulfilled.

c) payment by credit card: Payment may be effected using one of the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard. The amount of the purchase shall be debited at the moment when the order is concluded.

In all cases, the goods will be despatched only after payment for the same has been effected, and therefore the delivery period shall commence from such date.
6.2 If the Purchaser is absent, a notice will be left specifying the procedure necessary to contact the courier and/or shipper in order to agree the method of delivery.
6.3 The Seller accepts no liability for any delays or non-deliveries resulting from the incorrect or incomplete indication of the delivery address by the Purchaser.
6.4 On receiving the goods, the Purchaser must check that the product delivered corresponds to the order, and that the packaging is undamaged.
Without prejudice to the right of withdrawal described in article 10 of these conditions, the Purchaser must sign the delivery documents only after said checks have been effected, since all shipments made by BARTOLINI - DPD are insured against theft and damage.
The right of withdrawal shall not be applicable if the goods sold have been custom made for the Purchaser.
7. Limits of liability
7.1 The Seller accepts no liability for any delays or non-deliveries attributable to events of force majeure, such as accidents, explosions, fires, strikes and/or lock-outs, earthquakes, floods or any similar events which might, in whole or in part, prevent the fulfilment of the Agreement by the agreed date.
