- through its own account, by registering to the Site in the ways described in the following art. 5;
- without registering to the Site, by carrying out the purchase as a host. In any way the purchasing procedure is the one described here below.
4.2 For the purpose of the purchase, the Shop area and the description of the Products contained in it are to be considered as an offer to the public according to art. 1336 c.c.
4.3 The Client accesses the e-commerce area by the “Shop” section, where it has to select the Product it wants to buy.
4.4 By selecting the single Product or by clicking on “Find out more”, the Client views a page that shows the code, the description of the packaging and the quantity of the Product, the description, the price, the instructions for use and any other necessary information.
4.5 The Client, in order to proceed with the order, has to choose the quantity and click on “Add to cart”.
4.6 By adding the Product or the last Product to buy to the Cart, on the right side of the screen a drop-down menu opens, named “Cart”, where the Client finds a list of all the Products it wants to buy, together with: typology, price of each Product and total due including taxes and shipment costs. The Client has the possibility to deselect, from the Cart, the Products it doesn’t want to buy any more or to modify the quantity. By clicking on “Proceed to payment”, the Client accesses the “Cart” section, where there is another summary of Products, quantities and prices and where, to proceed with the Order, it has to click again on the button “Proceed to payment”, then choose if it wants to proceed to the order as a host or to buy through its own account. Before proceeding with the Order, the Client has the possibility to come back to the Shop area by clicking on “Continue shopping” on the bottom left.

If the “Invoicing address” does not coincide with the shipment address, the Client has to fill in the relevant section. The failure to complete even one of the information required implies the impossibility for the user to send the Order to Eumedica. It is understood that the failure to state a different invoicing address implies that the invoice will be addressed to the shipment address.
4.8 Once filled in the field “Personal information”, the Client has to accept the Conditions of use of the site and the short Privacy Policy by ticking the relevant box.
4.9 Once filled in the above mentioned fields, the Client can choose the payment method among the ones stated by Eumedica (and precisely: wire transfer, PayPal), accept these General Conditions and proceed by clicking “Order with obligation to pay”.

If Eumedica does not receive the payment within 7 (seven) days from Order completion, this latter will be considered as cancelled.
4.14 Eumedica engages to maintain the Shop area updated and to suspend the sale of the Products that are momentarily unavailable in stock. It is understood that, if Eumedica can’t confirm the Order because of a sudden unavailability of the products selected or any other reason beyond its control, it has to communicate that to the Client by e-mail, stating when possible the planned period of restocking of the items required. In this case the contract will be cancelled and Eumedica will refund the Client of the price already received.
