- The Seller shall send to the Customer, at the e-mail address indicated, the Order Confirmation, containing: the Commission Confirmation, a summary of the General Terms and Conditions, as well as the special conditions applicable to the contract, information relating to the essential characteristics of the Product purchased or, in the case of a Customized Product, information relating to that Product and the customization options chosen by the Customer, a detailed indication of the price, the means of payment used, the delivery costs and any eventual additional costs.

3. PRODUCTS CHARACTERISTICS
-
- Due to the intrinsic characteristics of the Products there may be variations between the thickness stated in the data sheets and that of the actual Product supplied, as well as in the size of the Product.

- Colors may vary between products and batches of products.
- The nominal dimensions indicated for the Products may have a maximum deviation of 2%.
- All Products purchased by the Customer must be stored by the Customer in suitable indoor rooms and, in any case, must not be stored in places with prolonged exposure to UV rays.
- The images and descriptions of the Products on the websites, in the catalogs, and in any documentation reproduce as closely as possible the actual characteristics of the Products. The colors of the Products, however, may differ from the actual colors due to paper document print settings or computer systems or the computers used by users for their digital display. Images of the Product may differ in size or in terms of accessories. These images should therefore be regarded as representative and subject to a tolerance margin.

The Customer, moreover, shall guarantee and fully indemnify the Seller against any prejudice that the latter may suffer from the production of the Product, therein expressly including any claims by third parties;
- In any case, the Seller reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to decline the request to manufacture the customized Product requested by the Customer;
- The Customer guarantees that the images sent to the Seller for the purpose of customizing the Product are freely available to it, do not infringe the rights of third parties, are not protected by copyright or any restriction or limitation on reproduction and - in the case of photographic images - depict places or subjects in relation to which the Customer has taken steps to acquire any necessary consent from the rightful owners in connection with the use of the image, fully relieving the Seller of any liability in the event of claims by third parties;
