For the purposes of these General Conditions of Sale, the Purchaser and Eley are individually or jointly referred to respectively as the Party or the Parties.

The Purchaser declares and guarantees that the purchase of the Products on the Site is not made in the performance of professional activities and is intended for personal use. The resale, rental or transfer of Products purchased from the Site for any commercial or professional purpose are therefore expressly prohibited.

These General Conditions are published on the Site to allow the Purchaser to be aware of the conditions and methods by which the seller (hereinafter “Eley” or “the Seller”) sells and delivers the Products ordered, as well as to define the rights and obligations of the Parties in relation to the sale of Products by Eley. The GCS are also intended, moreover, to allow storage and reproduction on the part of the Purchaser, pursuant to art. 12, paragraph 3, of Legislative Decree no. 70 of 9 April 2003 (“Implementation of Directive 2000/31/EC on certain legal aspects of information society services in the internal market, with particular reference to electronic commerce”) and subsequent amendments and additions. The GCS apply, without any limitation or condition whatsoever, to all sales of the Products offered by Eley on its Site, accessible via the Internet at www.insightprofessional.it, as well as, in a version optimized for mobile devices, at www.insightprofessional.it.

These General Conditions of Sale must be carefully examined by the Purchaser before the completion of the procedure for the purchase of Products and/or services through the Website. The sending of a purchase order (hereinafter also referred to simply as an “Order”) for one or more of the Products on sale on the Site implies full and unconditional acceptance by the Purchaser of these General Conditions of Sale, as well as the General Conditions of Use of the Website.

Eley reserves the right to change these GCS at any time. Therefore, the Purchaser will be asked to accept only the General Conditions in force at the time of placing the Order. Any changes and/or additions will be effective only in relation to purchase Orders sent by the Purchaser after the date of change and/or integration.

In such cases, withdrawal can be made within 14 (fourteen) days from the communication of the e-mail of modification/integration of the General Conditions of Sale.

In the event of return, refund or dispute of the Order, either by the Purchaser, where permissible, or by the Purchaser’s Credit Institution, the refund or release of the amount collected will be arranged at the same time. Return times, for some types of cards, depend exclusively on the banking system and cannot be attributable to Eley.
