1. Our Business Policy
1.1
The Vendor offers products for sale on yoox.com and its e-commerce business services are available exclusively to its adult end users, i.e. "consumers".

1.2
“Consumer" means any individual who is acting for purposes outside of his or her trade, business or profession. If you are not a "consumer", please do not buy any products on yoox.com.

1.3
The Vendor reserves the right not to accept purchase order proposals received from users who are not "consumers", and any other order that does not comply with its business policy, such as order proposals for which there are reports or suspicion of fraudulent or illegal activity. In such cases, the Vendor will inform the user that the order proposal has not been accepted.

The order proposals transmitted to the Vendor and the returns made by the users must also match with normal consumer needs. The Vendor monitors the number of order proposals and returns.

1.4
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale exclusively regulate the transmission by the users of yoox.com and the acceptance by the Vendor of order proposals relating to products on yoox.com.

1.5
The General Terms and Conditions of Sale do not apply to the provision of services or the sale of products by third parties that are present on yoox.com via links, banners or other hypertext connections. Before sending orders and purchasing products and services from third parties, we recommend that you verify their terms and conditions. Under no circumstances shall the Vendor be deemed liable for the supply of third party services or for the execution of e-commerce transactions between users of yoox.com and third parties.

2. How to execute a sale contract with the Vendor
2.1
To execute a contract of sale for one or more products on yoox.com, you must fill out the online purchase order proposal form and send it electronically to the Vendor, following the relevant instructions.

2.2
Before proceeding sending your order proposal, we ask that you carefully read the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Return Policy, print a copy using the print option and keep it safe for your own personal use. Before sending your order proposal to the Vendor, we will provide you with a summary of the main characteristics of each product ordered and its unit price (including all applicable fees and taxes), the type of payment you may use to purchase each product, shipping methods for the purchased products, shipping and delivery costs and the timeframe within which the Vendor – once it has accepted your order proposal – will deliver the products.

2.3
The order confirmation page of the receipt of your order proposal contains a reference to the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Return Policy. We will provide you with a summary of the main characteristics of each product indicated in your order proposal, the price (including all applicable fees and taxes), and the cost of shipping (including any additional fees you may be charged if you choose shipping that is faster than and/or different to standard shipping). The submission of an order proposal form is not evidence that a contract has been concluded between you and the Vendor and shall be considered as an invitation from you directed to the Vendor, to enter into a contract for the purchase and sale of the relevant good(s). The sale contract shall be deemed completed if and only if (and not before) an order form is electronically submitted to the Vendor and confirmation is issued by the Vendor that goods that constitute the subject matter of the order form have been dispatched.

2.4
Before submitting the order form proposal, you will be asked to identify and correct any possible input errors.

2.5
Upon submission of an order proposal form, the Vendor will e-mail you a message confirming receipt of your order proposal. This e-mail is an acknowledgement that the Vendor has received your order proposal, and does not confirm acceptance of it.

2.6

The contract shall be deemed concluded when the Vendor accepts your order proposal. The Vendor will send you a second e-mail confirming the acceptance of the order proposal and the dispatch of the products. This e-mail will include a copy of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and a summary of the Return Policy.

2.7

The order proposal sent to the Vendor will be filed in our database for the time required to process it and as stated by law. You may access your order proposal form in the My Orders section.

2.8
English is the language used for finalising the contract with the Vendor.

2.9
The Vendor may choose not to accept order proposals that do not provide sufficient guarantees of solvency, are incomplete or incorrect, or if the products are no longer available, or for any other reason.

In the event that we choose not to accept your order proposal (for whatever reason), we shall inform you via e-mail that the contract has not been executed and that the Vendor has not accepted your order proposal, specifying the reasons thereof. If the products displayed on yoox.com are no longer available or for sale at the time your order proposal is received or fulfilled, then the Vendor shall inform you of the unavailability of the products you wish to purchase within thirty (30) days from the day after you submitted your order to the Vendor. If you have already paid for the products, you will be refunded for the amount paid without undue delay and the contract between the parties will be deemed terminated.

The Vendor reserves the right not to accept order proposals in the cases outlined in sub-section 1.3.

2.10
By submitting an order proposal form, you unconditionally accept and undertake to observe the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale in your contract with the Vendor (once concluded). Should you not agree with certain provisions of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, please do not submit your order proposal for the purchase of products on yoox.com.

2.11
By submitting an order proposal, you agree and accept these General Terms and Conditions of Sale as well as further conditions contained on yoox.com, including those accessed via links, and including the General Terms and Conditions of Use, Privacy Policy and the Return Policy.

3.2
The Vendor does not sell second-hand products, flawed products or products of lower quality than the corresponding market standards. Only vintage products, which are sold in a specific area on yoox.com, may be second hand and/or in a worn condition because of the particular nature of the product. In the description of each vintage product, the Vendor will specify the preservation conditions of the products if different from the standards set by the market.

3.3

3.4
Prices are subject to change. Please check the final price before sending your order proposal form. In the event of a recognizable error in the indication - by the Vendor - of the product price or calculation of the amount requested at payment, the Vendor reserves the right not to accept the order proposal and contact the user to offer them the opportunity to purchase the product(s) at the correct price.

3.5

These details will not be used by YNAP S.p.A nor by the Vendor, except for carrying out procedures relevant to your purchase, or issuing refunds in the case of returns, subsequent to the exercise of your right to return, or for reporting cases of fraud on yoox.com to the police.

The price for the purchase of products and the costs for their shipping and delivery as indicated on the order summary page will be charged to your account at the moment in which your order is shipped.
