The Product Page contains information on the availability of the Product, the terms and conditions for exercising the right to withdraw (known as Product "return") and on additional warranties given by the professional.
7.3. The availability of Products is continuously monitored and updated. However, since the Website can be visited by multiple users at the same time, several users may purchase the same Product at the same time. Therefore, in such cases, the Product may appear available while it is actually out of stock or not immediately available. As a result, it may be necessary to wait for the product to come back into stock.

T-Data shall refund the total amount due without undue delay via the banking system. This amount consists of the price of the Product, the delivery expenses, if any, and any other additional costs resulting from the order ("Total Amount Due") which the user has paid. The user shall be informed via e-mail of the contract termination and of the Total Amount Due.
7.5. In case of orders for several Products (“Multiple Order”), if only some of the Products in the Multiple Order are unavailable, T-Data S.r.l. shall immediately inform the user via email. That being the case, the user shall be entitled to terminate the contract with immediate effect - limited to the Products that are not available - notifying T-Data S.r.l. of this in accordance with the methods and to the addresses set out in Article 4 above. The contract shall be partially terminated solely in relation to unavailable Products both in case the user exercises the right of termination under said provisions and in case, despite being informed by T-Data S.r.l., the user does not exercise this right, with the consequent refund, without undue delay and in any case within 15 business days of the order submittal, of the partial amount due, consisting of the price of the unavailable Products and any other additional cost relating to them as per the order ("Partial Amount Due").

They may also obtain information on their purchase orders by contacting T-DATA Customer Service as described in article 4 above.
9.18 The purchase order, order confirmation and the GTCS are stored electronically by T-Data S.r.l. in its information systems. Users may - besides receiving the aforementioned documents by e-mail - obtain a copy thereof contacting T-DATA Customer Service in accordance with Article 4 above.
10.1 Confidential data entered during the payment process (credit card number, cardholder, expiry date, security code) are acquired directly by the payment service provider. As a result, T-Data S.r.l. has no access to, and does not store, any payment data.
10.2 Users can make payments by:
10.4 In the event that, for any reason, the amounts payable by the user cannot be debited, T-Data S.r.l. will send notification that the purchase order has not been accepted to the e-mail address provided by the user. The purchase process shall be automatically cancelled, and the online sales contract shall be deemed unfulfilled.
Any refund will be paid to the user via the same form of payment used for the order. If this is not possible, one of the methods proposed by T-Data S.r.l. and chosen by the user will be used.
10.5 T-Data S.r.l. will send an email notification once the refund has been made to the e-mail address stated by the user in the purchase order.
11.1 For each purchase order, T-Data S.r.l. shall issue the respective receipt based on the information provided by the user in the purchase order.
11.2 The receipt shall be sent to the user once payment has been received and the Products have been dispatched.
11.3 Invoices shall be issued solely and exclusively in the event they are required for customs purposes.
12.1 Products purchased through the Website may only be delivered to the delivery address specified by the user in the order form.
12.2 All users may access the Website and make purchases on it, regardless of their nationality and/or place of residence and/or establishment. It is understood, however, that the Products shall only be delivered to the country set out on the Website; in particular, the country of delivery shall be clearly and specifically stated on the home page and during the purchase process.
12.3. Therefore, regardless of his/her nationality and/or place of residence and/or establishment, in the order form the user must enter a shipping address that is within the borders of the country of delivery and that is not a P.O. box or a post restante. Orders providing a shipping address which is not within the borders of the delivery country, or a shipping address that is a post office box or a poste restante, regardless of the user's nationality, place of residence and/or of establishment, shall not be accepted and consequently not processed.
12.4 Home Delivery is available subject to a fee. Shipping costs for Products, which may vary depending on the shipping method chosen, and any other additional charges, are therefore at the user’s expense, unless otherwise stated on the Product Page or elsewhere on the Website.
The specific amount of the shipping costs payable by the user for a given order is expressly and separately stated (in the purchase currency and including VAT) in the order summary. The amount is in any case provided before the user sends the order, as well as in the order confirmation email. T-Data S.r.l. reserves the right to modify the shipping costs, and even to offer free shipping, at any time and without prior notice, it being understood that the shipping costs applied to users will be those stated in the order summary before the user is bound by the contract. No increases or decreases shall be taken into account once the order has been sent.
12.5 In the event of partial withdrawal from Multiple Orders and/or partial termination, for any reason whatsoever, of the purchase contract for Multiple Orders, the shipping costs shall not be reimbursed as their amount does not depend on the number of Products ordered or their weight; they are instead calculated at a fixed amount regardless of the aforementioned two factors. As a result, they may be charged for delivering Products other than those affected by the withdrawal and/or partial termination. On the other hand, delivery costs shall be refunded if the withdrawal or termination concerns all of the Products covered by the Multiple Order.
12.6 If, in case of partial withdrawal from Multiple Orders and/or partial termination of the purchase contract relating to Multiple Orders for reasons beyond the control of T-Data S.r.l., because of the partial withdrawal or termination the Partial Amount due is below the threshold that would have allowed the user to benefit from free shipping, the user shall be charged the shipping costs that would have been due if shipping had not been free; these costs shall be deducted from the amount refunded and shall be calculated based on the charges stipulated on the "Shipping" page. This page can be accessed via the “Shipping” link in the Website footer, and in the "Shipping and Returns" box on the Product Page.
12.6bis The terms within which T-Data S.r.l. undertakes to deliver the Products in the User's order shall be set out in the order summary and/or, in any case, during the purchase process, before the user submits the order. The terms will take into account the geographical area and delivery method, as well as the possibility that the user purchases more than one Product in the same order ("Delivery Terms"), as set out on the "Shipping" page and in the "Shipping and Returns" box on the Product Page. The Delivery Terms shall commence on the business day following the contract finalization (i.e. receipt of confirmation that the order has been accepted), unless otherwise specified. The delivery obligation is fulfilled when the Products are placed at the user’s actual disposal or under the user's control. Delivery terms shall be calculated considering business days only, excluding S
