Alternatively, the Customer can create an "account" (i.e., personal profile) by completing the registration form available on the Website with his or her personal details, making sure that the information provided is correct. This will enable the Customer to make future purchases more easily, without having to re-enter information every time. In any case, the Customer shall take full responsibility for the accuracy and truthfulness of the personal data entered on the Website and provided to Castel during registration
and/or when submitting the order form. It is hereby agreed that under no circumstances shall Castel be liable for any damage, delay or inconvenience connected to and/or arising from incorrect and/or untruthful personal information entered by the Customer during registration and/or subsequently modified by the Customer.
3.2 The order form contains a link to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and information on the main characteristics of each Product ordered. In particular, it specifies prices (inclusive of all applicable taxes and/or duties), as well as available payment methods and delivery options (and their costs). The order form also contains a link to the General Terms and Conditions of Use of the Website.
3.3 Before submitting an order form for the purchase of one or more Products, the Customer must carefully read the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and General Terms and Conditions of Use of the Website, a copy of which must be printed and/or saved for future use. In particular, before completion of the online purchase and payment transactions, the Customer will be asked to read
and accept these Terms and Conditions of Sale, as well as to print, save or otherwise keep a copy of the same, in accordance with the provisions of Legislative Decree no. 206/2005, the so called Consumer Code.
3.4 The contract is concluded when, after the Customer has checked the details of his/her order, Castel receives electronically the corresponding order form.
3.5 By submitting the order form, the Customer accepts these General Terms and Conditions of Sale unconditionally and undertakes to comply with them at all times. If the Customer does not agree to all of the Terms and Conditions set forth herein, the Customer should not submit an order form for the purchase of the products sold on the Website.

3.8 The language of the contract between Castel and the Customer is Italian. Unless otherwise specified, translations (if any) are provided only as a courtesy.

3.11 Oncethe contract has been concluded, Castel will start processing the purchase order.
3.12 Castel may decide not to go ahead with a purchase order if Castel has reasonable doubts regarding the solvency of the Customer, or if the information provided by the Customer is incomplete or incorrect. In such cases, Castel will inform the Customer via email that the contract has not been concluded, explaining why the order cannot be processed.
3.13 In general, all items present on the Website are available immediately. However, Castel may in no way be held liable for the temporary unavailability of one or more Products. Should a Product presented on the Website be no longer available or on sale after the order form has been submitted, Castel will inform the Customer of this unavailability prior to sending an Order
Confirmation. Without prejudice to the provisions set forth below (see the section entitled "Right of Withdrawal"), the Customer's submission of an order form constitutes acceptance of a partial delivery of the order, which shall include solely the items that are actually available, and a waiver of the right to seek compensation and/or indemnity. If the Customer has already paid for the full order, Castel will refund the amount corresponding to unavailable products according to the methods described below (see the section on "Refund Times and Methods").
3.14 Once the contract has been concluded, Castel will send to the Customer, at the email address and in the language specified by the Customer in the order form, a notice confirming the order and containing a summary of the information provided in the order form. This notice does not constitute an Order Confirmation, which is sent at a later time, when the Products are actually
shipped.
3.15 When the products specified in the order form are actually shipped, Castel will send the Order Confirmation to the Customer, at the email address and in the language specified by the Customer. The Order Confirmation is a document listing the products actually purchased and specifying their main characteristics, such as prices inclusive of VAT.

3.16 Castel "Gift Cards" can be purchased for fixed amounts specified on the Website.
3.17 Gift Cards are not registered to specific card holders and can thus be used by both the Customer and third parties to purchase any Product through the Website.
3.18 Gift Cards cannot be topped up, but they can be used to pay for one or more purchase orders placed on separate occasions, until the credit is exhausted.
3.19 Gift Cards are issued in electronic format and sent by email. 3.20 Gift Cards must be activated within 3 months from the date of reception of the e-mail containing the corresponding code.

The amount paid to purchase the Gift Card is transferred to Castel as non-interest bearing money; it cannot be turned
into cash, transferred to a credit card or deposited on a bank account. The purchase of a Gift Card is not subject to VAT, in accordance with Article 2(3)(a) of Italian Presidential Decree no. 633/1972.

3.24 If the Customer wishes to buy a Gift Card as a present for another person, the Customer will have to specify the name and email address of that person during the purchase transaction. These data will be processed only with a view to sending the Gift Card via email to its intended recipient, ensuring its activation, and enabling Castel to fulfil all obligations resulting therefrom. Said data (name and e-mail address of the recipient) will be stored only until the person receiving the Gift Card confirms its activation, which must be performed as per the instructions specified below, or until the expiration of the term within which the Customer is entitled to exercise his/her right of withdrawal, whichever occurs later. Thus, after being processed for the purposes specified above, the personal data of the recipient will be erased once the Gift Card has been activated or, whichever occurs later, once the term within which the Customer is entitled to exercise his/her right of withdrawal has expired.
3.25 The Customer is aware and acknowledges that if the Customer provides an incorrect email address for the recipient of the Gift Card specified during the purchase process, this will make it impossible for the recipient to receive and use the Gift Card, something for which Castel will not be held responsible in any way whatsoever.

Terms and Conditions of Sale, and a link to the full version of said Terms and Conditions.

The e-mail will contain the following information: order number; gift card code and value; the expiry date of each Gift Card purchased and further detailed information on the latter.

3.30 No additional cost is charged for the activation or use of Gift Cards. More than one Gift Card can be used for the same purchase order.
3.31 Your Gift Card is associated to your account and will be automatically used for all purchases made from that account within its validity period, until the credit runs out. If the total price of the order exceeds the credit available on the Gift Card, the residual amount shall be paid using one of the payment methods available on the Website, so as to complete the order.
3.32 After expiration of the validity period (12 months), the Gift Card can no longer be used and any remaining credit will not be refunded; on the contrary, it will be kept in full by Castel.
3.33 If one or more Products in a purchase order paid (in part or in full) with a Gift Card are out of stock, Castel, upon request of the buyer, will cancel the order and refund the total amount paid. The Gift Card credit used to pay for such order will be credited back to the Gift Card, whilst any additional amounts paid using other payment methods will be refunded using the same
payment method selected during the order confirmation phase.
3.34 After having registered with the Website, the user can access his/her private area and view detailed information on the Gift Cards purchased for each order, as well as the status (i.e., remaining credit and expiry date) of each Gift card activated on his/her account.
3.35 The Customer is aware and acknowledges that anyone who knows the code of a Gift Card can use it on the Website: therefore, the Customer or any third party to whom the code may have been communicated must keep the code in a safe place.

However, the Customer has no right to withdraw from such an agreement if the Gift Card has been activated, regardless of
whether said card has been used, in full or in part, to buy Products on the Website.
3.38 To exercise his/her right of withdrawal, the Customer, provided that the period referred to in the preceding paragraphs has not elapsed and the Gift Card has not been activated, must inform Castel of his/her decision to withdraw from the agreement by submitting a written statement to this effect to the Customer Service. If the right of withdrawal is exercised with regard to a Gift Card purchased as a gift for another person, the latter will receive an email informing him/her that the Gift Card has been deactivated as a result of the Customer exercising his/her right of withdrawal.
3.39 If the Customer has purchased one or more Products using a Gift Card, the Customer is entitled to exercise his/her right of withdrawal in accordance with Article 8 below. If the Customer exercises his/her right of withdrawal with regard to Products that have been paid, in full or in part, using a Gift Card, and if the conditions set out in Article 8 below are met, the price of the purchase order in respect of which the right of withdrawal is exercised will be refunded as follows: the Customer will receive a refund for the part of the price paid using the Gift Card, and the refund will be applied to the Gift Card itself, which the Customer will be entitled to use in accordance to the terms and conditions specified above.
