The Conditions may be modified at any time.
The applicable Conditions are those in force on the date of transmission of the purchase order or request for supply of a Product.
Before using the Application, the User is required to read the Conditions carefully and to save or print them for future reference.
The Owner reserves the right to vary at its discretion, at any time, the Application's graphical interface, the Content and its organization, as well as any other aspect that characterizes the functionality and management of the Application, communicating the relevant instructions to the User, where necessary.
4. Purchase through the Application
All Products offered through the Application are described in detail on the respective product pages (quality, characteristics, availability, price, delivery times and costs, ancillary charges, etc.). Some errors, inaccuracies, or small differences may be evident between what is published on the Application and the actual Product. Furthermore, any images of the Products are only representative and do not constitute a contractual element.
Purchases of one or more Products through the Application are permitted to Consumer Users.
For natural persons, purchases are only permitted on the condition that they are adults. For minors, any purchase and/or request for the supply of Products through the Application must be examined and authorized by the parents or those exercising parental responsibility.
The offer of Products through the Application constitutes an invitation to offer, and the order sent by the User shall constitute a contractual purchase proposal, subject to confirmation and/or acceptance by the Owner as described below. Therefore, the Owner shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to accept or reject the User's order without the latter being able to object or complain about anything for any title and/or reason.
The contract for the sale of the Products is considered concluded with the Owner's acceptance of the User's contractual proposal. The Owner will accept the User's contractual proposal by sending the order confirmation to the email address indicated by the User, which will include the order date, the User's data, the characteristics and availability of the Product, the price or the method of price calculation, any further ancillary charges and taxes, the delivery address, the delivery times and any costs, the methods for exercising the right of withdrawal or its possible exclusion, and the warranty.
The contract for the sale of the Products is not considered effective between the parties in the absence of what is indicated in the preceding point.
In the event that the Product is unavailable, the Owner will inform the User of the new delivery or supply terms, asking whether they intend to confirm the order or not. It is understood that the contract will be deemed perfected only in relation to the Products accepted by the Owner.
The User undertakes to verify the correctness of the data reported in the order confirmation and to immediately communicate any errors to the Owner and will keep a copy of their order, the relative confirmation, and the Conditions.
5. Prices and Payments
The price for each Product is indicated inclusive of VAT, if due. Should the nature of the Product make it impossible to calculate the price in advance, the methods for calculating the price will be indicated.
Furthermore, any taxes, additional expenses, and delivery costs will be indicated, which may vary in relation to the destination, the chosen delivery method, and/or the payment method used. If these expense items cannot reasonably be calculated in advance, there will be an indication of which expenses will be charged to the User.
The Owner reserves the right to modify the price of the Products and any additional costs at any time. It is understood that any price modifications will under no circumstances prejudice contracts already concluded before the modification.
The User undertakes to pay the price of the Product within the times and methods indicated in the Application and to communicate all necessary data that may be requested.
The Application uses third-party tools for payment processing and does not come into contact with the payment data provided in any way (credit card number, cardholder name, password, etc.).
Should these third-party tools deny payment authorization, the Owner will not be able to provide the Products and cannot be considered responsible in any way.
6. Invoicing
The data for invoicing will be requested from the User who wishes to receive an invoice. The information provided by the User, which they declare and guarantee to be truthful, will be relied upon for the issuance of the invoice, releasing the Owner from any liability in this regard.

Consumer Users are granted the guarantee of conformity, provided for by articles 129 et seq. of the Consumer Code, for all material Products sold through the Application, with the exception of the cases of exclusion provided for by article 128 of the Consumer Code.
The Owner is responsible towards the Consumer User for any lack of conformity that becomes apparent within two years from delivery. During the first year, the Consumer User is not required to prove that the defect existed at the time of delivery, as it is presumed to have existed at that date, unless this assumption is incompatible with the nature of the Material Product or with the nature of the lack of conformity.
Should the Consumer User intend to avail themselves of the remedies provided by the guarantee of conformity, they must send a written communication to the email address merchal@namirialpec.it.
The Owner will provide a timely response and indicate the procedure to be followed to the Consumer User.
For anything not provided for by this clause, articles 128 to 135-septies of the Consumer Code and the articles of the Civil Code concerning the formation, validity, and effectiveness of contracts, including the consequences of contract termination and the right to compensation for damages, shall apply.

The fulfillment of the Owner's obligations will be considered suspended for the period in which force majeure events occur.
The Owner will take any action in its power in order to identify solutions that allow the correct fulfillment of their obligations despite the persistence of force majeure events.
12. Link to Third-Party Sites
