After that, the negotiation will continue offline and the contract will be considered concluded with the receipt by Parcop S.r.l. of the order confirmation duly signed by the buyer and sent through official channels (email, or in the additional ways that may be specified on the site). Even in the case of offline purchase, these terms and conditions of sale will apply, and they will be attached or recalled to each quotation and duly accepted with appropriate signature. It is possible that the prices in the quotation differ from those online, due to variables such as, but not limited to, type of product, quantity and availability of the same.

2. Regarding online purchasing, it is not required to register to make purchases. Accordingly, the Customer may opt to make purchases on the Seller's website as a Registered User or as an Unregistered User. Registration avoids the need to enter address and shipping information each time a purchase is made on the Site.

3. If the Customer is registered, its billing and delivery information will be displayed automatically and can be changed as needed. If the Customer is not registered, he/she is required to enter this data with each purchase.

4. Following the placement of one or more products in the shopping cart, the Customer will see a summary of the details and may choose to continue with the confirmation of the order. Subsequently, to finalize the contract and definitively transmit the order, the Customer is asked, on a single page, to enter the information regarding the delivery address (which may differ from the billing address) and the payment method along with the relevant data. After that, following the Customer's confirmation of the order summary ("buy" button), the Seller processes payment for the order.

5. Correct receipt of the order is confirmed by the Seller through a confirmation notice by e-mail, sent to the e-mail address provided by the Customer when completing the order form. From this moment on, the contract between Seller and Customer is finalized. This e-mail message contains the date and time of receipt of the order, a 'Customer Order Number', to be used in any further communication with the Seller, the link to the page of the site containing the 'Terms and Conditions' of Sale accepted by the Customer, the strictly necessary information to summarize the essential characteristics of the product purchased, an indication of the price, the means of payment used, delivery charges and any additional costs. The message also repeats all the data entered by the Customer at the time of confirmation of the order, which is committed to verify the correctness and promptly communicate any corrections by email to the addresses indicated above and present at the URL https://www.wiautomation.com/contact-us or through live chat present at the same URL.

6. The Customer, if registered, can check the status of the order by going to the web area dedicated to it under "My Orders".

7. The Seller must be enabled to request more information by e-mail or telephone, especially in order to properly fulfil contractual obligations. Therefore, it is the Customer's obligation to enter real data in the order form.

8. The Seller reserves the right not to fulfil purchase orders that do not give sufficient guarantees of solvency, or that are incomplete and incorrect. In such cases, the Seller undertakes to promptly notify the Customer. In case of order form submission and payment of the price, the Seller shall refund the amount already advanced.
   
   

• 3 - AVAILABILITY AND CANCELLATION OF THE ORDER

1. All product orders are subject to product availability. The Site is constantly and automatically updated in order to ensure maximum correspondence between the Seller's availability and the availability indicated on the Site.

2. The site does not display the quantities of product available at the time of the order, as the simultaneous access of many user-customers, the simultaneous possibility of "offline" orders as well as the variable quantity of each product that depend on the supplying company, change the availability of the products, the Seller does not guarantee the certainty of allocation of the ordered goods.

3. For certain products, which are subject to price promotions, the Seller reserves the right to accept orders by reducing their quantities, subject to prior notice and acceptance by the Customer, failing which the order shall be deemed canceled.

4. The Seller may cancel the order in case of product unavailability. In such cases, they shall inform the Customer by e-mail that the contract is not concluded and that the Seller has not followed up the order stating the reasons. In such cases, the Seller proposes, before proceeding to refund, replacement with similar product or other available solution (surplus rush service, product under other conditions) as a solution which must always be expressly accepted by the Customer. In case of non-acceptance of the replacement product, the amount previously committed to the Customer's means of payment is refunded. Notice of the refund is given by e-mail.

5. In any case of cancellation of the order by the Seller, therefore for any reason whatsoever, it is intended that the Seller cannot be held liable for any damages arising from the cancellation.

The total costs will be communicated to the Customer following the cancellation request. The cancellation will become effective upon the Customer's express confirmation of the costs communicated by Parcop S.r.l. In the absence of acknowledgement no later than 72 hours (effective), the confirmation of cancellation will be considered to have been tacitly provided. Any cost for the return shipment of the canceled order shall be borne by the customer and must always be made by trackable shipment and must always be insured in case the value of the goods exceeds € 500.

Such costs shall be borne by the Customer and cannot be refunded by the Seller under any circumstances. The amount of international duties and/or taxes charged by the country of destination cannot invalidate this contract or constitute grounds for termination by the Customer, who will be made aware of the presence of additional and undetermined costs at the time of payment or, more precisely, at the time of selection of the country of destination at the check-out stage.

• 8 - LEGAL GUARANTEE OF CONFORMITY AND SELLER'S LIABILITY

1. Among the obligations of the seller (art. 1476 c.c.), in addition to delivering the goods to the buyer and making him acquire ownership of the goods/rights sold, there is also the obligation to guarantee the buyer against eviction (art. . 1483 of the Civil Code) and defects in the property (art. 1490 of the Civil Code).

2. Pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, the manufacturer's guarantee of the purchased good does not apply, as Parcop S.r.l. does not have the status of an authorized reseller.

3. The Legal Guarantee - which is held by WiAutomation as seller - guarantees the goods against defects in conformity (defects that make it unsuitable for the use for which it is intended or appreciably reduce its value) with respect to the sales contract.

4. The product warranty regime differs depending on whether the buyer is a "consumer" (hereinafter also "B2C") or a "professional" (hereinafter also "B2B") pursuant to Directive 1999/44/EC relating to "certain aspects of sales contracts and guarantees concerning consumer goods".

5. In the event of a purchase by a Customer who does not have the status of Consumer - as defined in point "6" of the "conditions of use" - the provisions of the Civil Code or, specifically, the art. 1495 c.c. which requires the reporting of defects within 8 days of discovery, shall apply. In B2B sales, if the goods sold present defects of conformity, the seller will restore the conformity of the goods without charge through repair or replacement (primary remedies) or, if this is not possible, through a reduction in the purchase price or the resolution of the contract (secondary remedies). The action aimed at enforcing the legal guarantee expires one year from delivery.

6. In the case of purchase by a Customer who holds the status of Consumer, the legal guarantee lasts for two years from delivery of the goods and the action of the consumer aimed at asserting the defects (not maliciously hidden by the seller) is barred, in in any case, within 26 months of delivery (art. 133 of the Consumer Code). In the event of receipt of an incorrect product compared to what was ordered (to be understood only the case in which the error is attributable to the Seller) or damaged (for reasons attributable to the Seller or the courier) or altered or, in general, non-compliant, the Customer who holds the status of Consumer has the burden of reporting such errors and defects within 26 months of delivery pursuant to art. 133(3) of the Consumer Code or from the moment of supply pursuant to art. 135m(4) of the Consumer Code (in the case of supply of digital content or digital service). Pursuant to art. 135(1) of the Consumer Code, the lack of conformity communicated by the Consumer is presumed to exist within one year from the date of delivery of the product, unless proof to the contrary is provided by the Seller of the incompatibility of the defect with the nature of the goods or with the nature of the defect of conformity. This paragraph also applies to goods with digital elements. The Seller, if the goods sold present defects of conformity, will restore the conformity of the goods without charge through repair or replacement (primary remedy) or, if this is not possible, a reduction in the purchase price or termination of the contract (secondary remedies). The Customer always has the burden of attaching, to the return email, for the consumer or, to the return form, for the company, appropriate photographic and/or videographic documentation in support from which the error or vice.

7. Refurbished and used products are covered by the same legal guarantee applied to new products. However, it is specified that, due to the characteristics of reconditioned and/or used products, any aesthetic and non-functional defects, such as scratches, signs of wear, lack of accessories not essential for the functioning of the product, will not be covered by the legal guarantee. The Customer who purchases the reconditioned and/or used product, that is, aware of the product purchased, in all its characteristics, cannot claim as a lack of conformity what is inherent to the product itself and accurately described.

8. In any case, the Customer has the burden of attaching, to the return email, for the consumer or, to the return form, for the company, appropriate photographic and/or video documentation from which the error or flaw is clearly evident.

9. This is without prejudice to the additional conventional warranty granted by the Seller for refurbished products, for a duration of up to 12 (twelve) months from purchase, where provided for and, therefore, specified in the relevant product sheet.

10. In the case of goods bearing digital elements, in the contractual relationship between the seller and the consumer (B2C), the seller is bound to keep the consumer aware of available updates, including security updates, necessary for the purpose of maintaining the conformity of such goods, and to provide them to the consumer, in the period of time:
    
    a) that the consumer can reasonably expect, given the type and purpose of the goods and digital elements, and taking into account the circumstances and nature of the contract, if the sales contract provides for a single act of supply of the digital content or digital service;
    
    or
    
    b) if the sales contract provides for a continuous supply of the digital content or digital service over a period of time.

11. If the consumer does not install the provided updates within a reasonable period of time, the seller shall not be liable for any lack of conformity resulting solely from the lack of the relevant update, except in the cases provided for in (a) and (b) of this Article, paragraph 2.

12. There is no lack of conformity if, at the time of the conclusion of the sales contract, the consumer was specifically informed that a particular characteristic of the goods deviated from the objective conformity requirements set forth in these standards, and the consumer expressly and separately accepted this deviation at the time of the conclusion of the sales contract.

13. In any case, for goods bearing digital elements - such as but not limited to Siemens PLC products - Parcop S.r.l. does not guarantee the presence of any firmware or any necessary level of firmware, nor can it otherwise provide it. Therefore, in such cases, no liability whatsoever can be attributed to Parcop S.r.l. It is the Customer's obligation to abide by the terms of any License Agreement relating to obtaining or installing firmware where present. Following the receipt of the email and/or form and related documentation, the Seller evaluates the error, flaws and any non-conformity reported by the Customer and decides whether to authorize the return of the Products by providing a feedback via email, containing the "Return Code," to the address provided during the transmission of the order.

14. The authorization to return the products does not in any way constitute recognition of defects or non-conformities, the existence of which must be ascertained following the return through inspection and technical analysis of the product/products which: must be carried out by the Seller within a reasonable time from the arrival of the goods in the Parcop S.r.l warehouses, taking into account the degree of complexity of the intervention/analysis and the type of product.

15. To this purpose, therefore, the Customer is urged not to handle the product beyond what is strictly necessary and must wrap the original packaging of the products with other protective packaging that preserves their integrity and protects them during transport even from writing or labeling;

16. The products, of which the Seller authorizes the return for the aforementioned reasons, must be returned by the Customer through a carrier with traceable shipment and, in case of a value exceeding € 500, always insured, together with a copy of the return authorization notice bearing the "Return Code", to the following address: Via Torregaveta, 19, 80070 Monte di Procida (NA), within:
    -15 (fifteen) days from the reporting of the flaw or non-conformity

17. Once the products have been received, the Seller will examine the returned units to verify that:
    - the product is actually the one sold;
    - the defect complained of actually exists;
    - the defect is attributable to his own responsibility.

18. Upon completion of the inspection and technical analysis, the Seller will communicate the possible remedies to the Buyer, as regulated in these general conditions of sale. Only in the event of termination of the contract, the amount previously charged on the Customer's means of payment will be refunded. Any refund of the price paid and the related shipping costs is made, where possible, using the same payment method used by the Customer when purchasing the Product.

2. Pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, the manufacturer's guarantee of the purchased goods does not apply, as Vision Automation SA does not have the status of an authorized reseller.
3. The Legal Guarantee - which is held by WiAutomation as seller - guarantees the goods against defects in conformity (defects that make it unsuitable for the use for which it is intended or appreciably reduce its value) with respect to the sales contract.
4. The product warranty regime differs depending on whether the buyer is a "consumer" (hereinafter also "B2C") or a "professional" (hereinafter also "B2B")..

In B2B sales, if the goods sold present defects of conformity, the seller will restore the conformity of the goods without charge through repair or replacement (primary remedies) or, if this is not possible, through a reduction in the purchase price or the resolution of the contract (secondary remedies). Apparent defects must be reported immediately after inspection (or within 7 days from the delivery of the products). Hidden defects must be reported immediately upon discovery (or within 7 days from discovery). Failure to notify the Seller of defects within the specified timeframes will result in the Buyer forfeiting their warranty rights.

After this period, all claims related to warranty or defects shall be deemed time-barred.
6. In the case of purchase by a Customer who holds the status of Consumer, the legal guarantee lasts for two years from delivery of the goods and the action of the consumer aimed at asserting the defects (not maliciously hidden by the seller) is barred, in any case, within 26 months of delivery. In the event of receipt of an incorrect product compared to what was ordered (to be understood only the case in which the error is attributable to the Seller) or damaged (for reasons attributable to the Seller or the courier) or altered or, in general, non-compliant, the Customer who holds the status of Consumer has the burden of reporting such errors and defects within 26 months of delivery the lack of conformity communicated by the Consumer is presumed to exist within one year from the date of delivery of the product, unless proof to the contrary is provided by the Seller of the incompatibility of the defect with the nature of the goods or with the nature of the defect of conformity. This paragraph also applies to goods with digital elements. The Seller, if the goods sold present defects of conformity, will restore the conformity of the goods without charge through repair or replacement (primary remedy) or, if this is not possible, a reduction in the purchase price or termination of the contract (secondary remedies). The Customer always has the burden of attaching, to the return email, for the consumer or, to the return form, for the company, appropriate photographic and/or videographic documentation in support from which the error or vice.

However, it is specified that, due to the characteristics of reconditioned and/or used products, any aesthetic and non-functional defects, such as scratches, signs of wear, lack of accessories not essential for the functioning of the product, will not be covered by the legal guarantee. The Customer who purchases the reconditioned and/or used product, that is, aware of the product purchased, in all its characteristics, cannot claim as a lack of conformity what is inherent to the product itself and accurately described.
8. In any case, the Customer has the burden of attaching, to the return email, for the consumer or, to the return form, for the company, appropriate photographic and/or video documentation from which the error or flaw is clearly evident.
9. This is without prejudice to the additional conventional warranty granted by the Seller for refurbished products, for a duration of up to 12 (twelve) months from purchase, where provided for and, therefore, specified in the relevant product sheet.
