Section 1 – General Conditions
By accessing, browsing or otherwise using the Website, you (i) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and that you agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules, policies and regulations; and (ii) represent that you are at least of majority age in your State and have the legal capacity to enter into a contract in the jurisdiction where you reside, and/or (iii) that you are the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.
Again, you may not use our products for any illegal or unauthorized purpose nor may you, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).
A breach or violation of any of the Terms of Service will result in an immediate termination of your Services.
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. Furthermore, your content may be transferred unencrypted and involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Note that credit card information is always encrypted during transfer over networks.
BROWSING, CHECKOUT AND ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS
You place the Order for the Merchandise by using the Checkout ordering process. This involves selecting the Merchandise, placing it in the shopping cart/basket and transmitting the order by clicking on the “PAY AND PLACE ORDER” button (or similar button) on the Checkout. This process permits you to check and amend any errors before making an order by using the “back” button.
To place an Order, you must be at least at the age which enables you to bind yourself to contracts per local legal requirements in the place where you reside. By placing an Order, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
The information contained in these Terms and the data contained on the Website and Checkout do not constitute an offer to sell, but rather an invitation to contract. Once you have placed your Order, it will be acknowledged via an email which will contain the relevant details of your Order. Please note, this e-mail does not constitute an acceptance of your Order to buy the Merchandise – it only constitutes an acknowledgement of your Order. Your Order is not accepted (and therefore no commitment is made to provide you with the Merchandise), and no contract for the sale of such Merchandise shall come into effect, until your Order is specifically accepted and a confirmation email is sent ("Order Confirmation"). Order confirmation is subject to fraud checks and certain other mandated regulatory checks (such as ‘Denied Parties Screening’).
If the payment method you selected at Checkout supports an authorization mechanism (e.g. most credit/debit cards), then when you place your Order the applicable amount will only be authorized. You will be charged only after the Merchandise has been dispatched to you
EXCHANGE RATE
Exchange rates may be set and updated regularly, and you acknowledge that such updates may affect Merchandise pricing on the Checkout. The price of the Merchandise will be the price (according to the applicable exchange rate) at the time you actually place your Order via the Checkout, as displayed on the Checkout.
FULFILMENT, HANDLING AND DELIVERY OF ORDERS
Not all Merchandise can be delivered anywhere (due to limitations imposed on the Merchandise or by the destination) but the Checkout will not permit you to submit your Order if the Merchandise cannot be delivered to your specified address.
Delivery will be complete when the Merchandise will be delivered to the address which you specify when ordering (that may include the port of entrance to the destination as specified on the Checkout, in case you have selected not to pre-pay Import Charges).
Different parts of your order may be delivered on different dates. Unless otherwise stated, and subject to applicable laws, delivery dates given on Checkout (or on the Websites) are estimates only. Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Order Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days after the date of the Order Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances (pre-order for example). Delivery timeframes are affected by your delivery address and the delivery method selected. Gelato Pique unable to specify an exact delivery date and time.
Gelato Pique has no liability for any losses arising from delay in delivery to the extent that this is due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. For example, delays resulting from customs clearance procedures or other actions of relevant authorities are generally outside Gelato Pique’s control, as well as delays resulting directly from your actions or omissions.
If you receive notification of an unsuccessful attempted delivery, it is your responsibility to use the details provided to contact the delivery company to arrange re-delivery. Efforts will be made to deliver your merchandise according to the details in the Order.
IMPORT CHARGES
Products delivered to destinations outside the United States may be subject to taxes, fees, customs duty, levies or other charges as a result of local legislation or customs formalities. The recipient of your Order is responsible for all customs formalities for the import of the Products and will be required to pay any additional charges for international delivery, including import duty, formal customs entry, taxes, levies and other charges that may be levied outside the United States. The recipient of the goods, not the person placing the Order, will typically receive a separate request for payment of these charges. If you’re ordering Products to be delivered to someone else, please ensure they’re aware that they’ll be responsible for these additional charges
PAYMENT METHODS
You may pay with the payment methods specified at Checkout. The availability of such payment methods is dependent on your geographical location. When being charged, the descriptor you will see shall include Gelato Pique as GP’ and will substantially look like this: **GP/Merchant**. Payments in relation to the Merchandise could be made to an intra-group affiliate as our agent, and such payment will discharge you from your payment obligations in connection with the purchase of the Merchandise from us.
You acknowledge and agree that: (i) you will be charged by Gelato Pique or one of its third party payment processors ("Payment Processor"), through the payment method you have selected at Checkout for such Order and such other amounts payable under these Terms
