1. Sphere of application and Website registration
These General Sales Terms apply to all sales made by MACHIWEB through the Website. MACHIWEB may change the General Sales Terms at any time. Any changes and/or new terms will be in force from the moment they are published in the Website’s “Sales terms” section. Thus, users are invited to visit the Website regularly and to verify the most updated General Sales Terms. The applicable General Sales Terms are those in force on the date on which the purchase order is made.
The sale of products and/or the supply of services not by MACHIWEB but by a different party that might be present on the Website with links, banners or other hypertext links are not subject to these General Sales Terms. Before agreeing to commercial transactions with the above mentioned parties you must verify their sales terms. MACHIWEB is not responsible for the supply of services and/or sale of products by the above mentioned parties. MACHIWEB does not control and/or monitor the websites you can reach through the above mentioned links in any way. Therefore, MACHIWEB is not responsible for the contents of the websites or for any mistakes and/or omissions and/or breaches of law made by them. The website lepandorine.it and numeroventidue.it offer products that belong to MACHIWEB. MACHIWEB is the owner of brands that appear on the Website itself.
The purchase suggestions on the Website are meant exclusively for natural persons or non-commercial parties. Therefore, any purchase contracts agreed upon in spite of this clause by retailers or wholesalers and, in any case, by parties who intend to purchase the products for sale on the Website with the purpose of re-selling them later, will be rescinded. MACHIWEB reserves the right to not accept orders by parties who are not consumers or, irrespective of their qualification, who make unusual orders on the Website in terms of product quantity or frequency.

Taking or using in any way any part of the material from the Website without an explicit authorization is forbidden, as is any other activity that might infringe the legitimate interests of the authors and copyright holders. The Website and its contents can only be used for personal purposes – excluding directly or indirectly commercial ones – providing that the rights holder’s details are left intact and not altered in any way. Just to make an example, the Website content includes, but is not limited to:
- texts and photographs;
- film segments;
- data banks;
- graphs and tables;
- slogans;
- reproduction of sounds;
- illustrations, whether animated or not;
- any representation in graphics and/or text in general.
Therefore it is not possible to copy and/or reproduce the content of the Website in whole or in part without MACHIWEB’s explicit authorization. In point of fact, we point out that all trademarks, domain names, business names, firms and signs on our Website belong exclusively to MACHIWEB and therefore are protected by the current laws about distinctive signs. Hence their reproduction, in any possible way, is strictly forbidden without the explicit authorization by MACHIWEB, as is any registration’s brands in any top-level domain. We herewith inform you that also trademarks, domain names, business names, firms and signs belonging to third parties with which MACHIWEB collaborates variously, which might appear on the Website’s pages, are protected by the current laws about distinctive signs.
MACHIWEB informs you that the use of any distinctive sign shown on the Website as metatag and/or of any html language command which – even if it does not entail the visualization or formatting of a certain command – gives instructions to electronic agents or search engines to enhance the ranking of a website that is not related to MACHIWEB is strictly forbidden.
3. Linking/Framing
Without MACHIWEB’s written authorization it is strictly forbidden to create links to the Website’s Homepage, which is currently accessible at the web address www.lepandorine.it and www.numeroventidue.it (“Homepage”), or to any other of the Website’s internal pages.
Specific links that allow users to go to an internal page without passing from the Homepage (“deep linking”) are strictly forbidden, as are links that allow users to automatically visualize images from the Website in a specific space (“inline linking”). Moreover, links that allow a page from the Website to appear in a specific page of another website, inside a frame instead of inside a separate browser window (“framing”) are forbidden as well.
Regarding this matter, we herewith point out that any violation of the present article can be prosecuted also as a form of unfair competition, regulated by current laws on the subject.
4. Guarantee exclusion and limitation of liability
All contents published on the Website merely have the purpose of giving general information. MACHIWEB does not guarantee their accuracy and completeness in any way, and reserves the right to change and update such information without prior notice.

We invite users who live in countries not using the Euro as currency to keep in mind the impact of exchange rates on the total cost of the product they intend to purchase.

MACHIWEB reserves the right to refuse orders from users who cannot provide sufficient guarantee of their solvency or with whom it has pending disputes and/or who have made unusual orders.
Since it is possible for two users to purchase the same product at the same time, a product might become unavailable after the purchase order has been sent.

If payment has already been made, MACHIWEB will refund the total sum paid by the client – including purchase price and shipment, excluding any further compensation.
