3_ORDER
The Customer can purchase products that are in Acquaclick‘s digital catalogue at the moment they submit their order, available online at the address (URL) www.acquaclick.com, as described in their respective specifications.
The Customer begins the purchase procedure on the website by adding the items he wants to purchase to his/her virtual shopping cart and by following the guided check-out procedure. Once the purchase has been submitted, an order confirmation email will be sent to the Customer. For orders paid through PayPal or by credit card, an additional payment confirmation email will be sent. For those orders to be paid by bank wire transfer, the Customer will receive an email with the bank coordinates necessary to make the payment.
It is also possible to place an order via email, by writing to info@acquaclick.com and listing: the items to be purchased, the details for the invoice (first name, surname, address and phone number) and those for shipping, if different.
DOCUMENTATION FOR TAX PURPOSES
Customers who wish to be issued a full invoice must send us their VAT ID number (Italian codice fiscale, tax code). Otherwise we will issue a simple receipt of payment.
Customers who require the invoice by e-mail before making the payment, so as to be able to send the wire transfer that takes advantage of tax credit, must request it at the moment they place the order.
All the tax-related documentation that is issued (invoice and sales receipt) will travel with the goods and will be inside the courier’s transparent plastic bag, attached to the package.
Invoices issued beforehand to allow the Customer to pay through the tax-credit refund system will be sent to the Customer via e-mail instead.
TAX INCENTIVES
Customers who can request an invoice with the lower VAT – 4% or 10% -- must send the necessary documentation via e-mail to info@acquaclick.com, as outlined at the following link: www.acquaclick.com/it/content/14-agevolazioni-fiscali

The pictures that illustrate the products are by way of example to illustrate the product.

7_PAYMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
- Credit Card: Payment for the products happens within a safe environment; charges to the Customer’s credit card are to be made in Euro two days after the company confirms the purchase order. The company will retain ownership of the product until the product has been paid in full, so the ordered items will be supplied upon receipt of the Customer’s payment through the credit card. At the same time that the online transaction is concluded, the banking institution will authorize the sole amount related to the purchase made.
In case of order cancellation, either by the Customer or in case Acquaclick fails to accept it, the company will request a cancellation of the transaction and the charge-back of the amount. The amount of time needed to remove the charge from the credit card is wholly dependent on the banking system and can reach the system’s scheduled expiry of the transaction (24th day after authorization). Once the transaction has been cancelled, Acquaclick will not be held responsible for any damages, direct or indirect, caused by the delay of the banking system in charging the amount back.
Acquaclick reserves the right to charge the Customer’s credit card within the time limit so as to avoid the expiry of the transaction authorization, which happens on the 23rd day.
Acquaclick reserves the right to ask the Customer for additional information (e.g. landline phone number) or the submission of documents that prove ownership of the card being used. In case the documentation is missing, Acquaclick reserves the right to refuse the order.
At no point of the purchasing procedure can Acquaclick see the information related to the purchaser’s credit card, as it is sent through secure connection directly to the website of the banking institution that handles the transaction. No digital archive at Acquaclick will keep the data. Acquaclick is thus absolved of any responsibility for any fraudulent and illicit use of the credit card by third parties when purchasing products on www.acquaclick.com.
- Advance Payment through Wire Transfer: the wire transfer must be sent within 7 work days of the order request. Shipping of the goods will happen only upon receiving the full amount owed on the bank account listed below. After those deadlines the order will be automatically considered cancelled. The payment description must include:
- The order’s identification number;
- The date when the order was completed;
- First and last name of the person who submitted the order.

- Payment through PayPal: the PayPal system is being used more and more for online purchases, and it adds an extra layer of safety to credit card payments. Sign-up for their service is quick and free of charge, and can be done directly on their website at www.PayPal.com.

9_WARRANTY
Customers are entitled to legal warranty that covers hidden defects of the products being sold. The warranty is void if the defect or damage was due to mishandling of the product, insufficient maintenance, or any handling that goes against the instructions for use provided with the product.

If the defect is not covered by the manufacturer’s conventional warranty, the Customer will be charged any costs incurred to verify and refurbish the goods as requested by the Authorized Assistance, as well as any transportation costs Acquaclick incurs.
The 24-month warranty provided for by the Italian Legislative Decree 206/05 is applied to any products that present a defect of compliance, as long as the product has been used correctly, as it was meant to be used, and according to the instructions included in the attached technical documentation. This warranty is only valid for private Customers (an individual who purchases the goods for personal use and not for business use, meaning the Customer purchased the goods without providing a VAT ID number in the order request form).

In those cases where the warranty requires the product to be returned, the item will have to be sent back by the Customer in its original package, in all its original parts (including packaging and any documentation and accessories). The Customer will be issued an authorization code for the return of the goods (RMA) which will have to be indicated on the outside of the packaging, following the instructions provided directly in the authorization e-mail.
PLEASE NOTE: Our staff is not authorized to accept any goods that do not show the RMA number on the outside of the packaging.
It is necessary to carefully archive the purchase and payment documentation in order for the company to be able to accept a warranty claim.
