All Products offered through the Application are described in detail on the relevant product pages (quality, characteristics, availability, price, delivery and execution times, accessory charges, etc.). Errors, inaccuracies or minor differences between what is published in the Application and the Product may occur.

The purchase of one or more Products through the Application is permitted to Consumer Users.
Purchase applications are only permitted to natural persons of legal age. For minors, any purchase of Products through the Application must be examined and authorised by their parents or guardians.
The offer of Products through the Application will be considered as an invitation to make an offer and the order sent by the User as a contractual proposal to purchase, subject to confirmation and/or acceptance by the Owner as described below. Therefore, the Owner has the right to accept or reject the User's order or delivery request at its discretion. Consequently, the User has no right to complain about the decision of the Controller for any reason whatsoever.

The User shall check the correctness of the data in the order confirmation and notify the Controller immediately of any errors. The User shall keep a copy of the order, the confirmation and the Conditions.

The User undertakes to pay the price of the Product at the times and in the ways indicated in the Application and to communicate the required information.
The Application uses third party tools to process payments and in no way comes into contact with the payment data provided (credit card number, holder's name, password, etc.).
In the event that such third party tools deny authorisation for payment, the Holder will not supply the Products and cannot be held liable in any way.

BILLING

MODE OF DELIVERY OF DIGITAL PRODUCTS

The Holder will deliver the Digital Products, including any Digital Products supplied on a tangible medium, to the User according to the methods and timescales indicated in the Application and detailed in the order confirmation.
If it is not possible to deliver the Digital Products within the aforementioned deadlines, the Holder will promptly notify the User by e-mail, indicating the expected time of delivery or the reasons why delivery is impossible.
If the User does not wish to accept the new deadline or delivery has become impossible, he may request a refund of the amount paid. The refund shall be made promptly using the method of payment used for the purchase, within a maximum of 14 days after the Holder has become aware of the refund request.

USER'S RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PURCHASE OF DIGITAL PRODUCTS

The User-Consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract without penalty and without specifying the reason, within the term of 14 days from the date of signing the contract, by sending a written communication to the e-mail address info@starbottle.space, using the optional withdrawal form referred to in the following article or any other written declaration.

The User acknowledges and accepts that he/she loses the right of withdrawal after the digital product has been downloaded or used.

EXCLUSION OF THE USER'S RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

The right of withdrawal from the contract of sale of the Products by the Consumer User is relatively excluded:

  • the supply of Products whose price depends on fluctuations in the financial market that cannot be controlled by the trader and that may occur within the withdrawal period
  • the supply of Products made according to the Consumer's specifications or clearly customised
  • the supply of Products that are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. The same applies to all food products (including beverages) whose characteristics are subject to alteration also due to improper storage
  • the supply of sealed Products, unsealed by the User and therefore unsuitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene
  • the supply of Products which, by their nature, have been inseparably mixed with other articles after delivery
  • to contracts in which the User has specifically requested a visit by the trader in order to carry out urgent repairs or maintenance. If on the occasion of such a visit the trader provides related services in addition to those specifically requested by the User or goods other than spare parts necessarily used to carry out maintenance or repairs, the right of withdrawal applies to such additional related services or goods
  • the supply of sealed and unsealed audio or video recordings or computer software after delivery
  • the supply of newspapers, periodicals or magazines, with the exception of subscription contracts for the supply of such publications
  • to contracts concluded in a public auction

The Owner shall use its best efforts to ensure that the Application is available 24 hours a day, but shall in no way be held liable if, for any reason, the Application is not accessible and/or operational at any time or for any period. Access to the Application may be suspended temporarily and without notice in the event of system failures, maintenance, repairs or for reasons entirely beyond the control of the owner or for events of force majeure.

The Holder assumes no responsibility for any fraudulent or illicit use that may be made by third parties of the credit cards and other means of payment, not coming into contact in any way with the payment data used (credit card number, holder's name, password, etc.).

The fulfilment of the obligations by the Holder shall be deemed to be suspended for the period during which force majeure events occur.
The Holder shall take all steps within its power to find solutions that enable the proper fulfilment of its obligations despite the continuation of force majeure events.
