The seller cannot be held liable for the difference in perception of shapes and colours between the photographs or graphics presented and the products.

3. Orders
Any order of product by phone or via the site implies on the part of the customer the full and unreserved acceptance of these GTCS that the customer acknowledges beforehand to have read, understood and accepted.
Gelato-Gelato Int reserves the right to refuse certain orders without any obligation to explain the reasons.
All orders received by post, telephone, e-mail or via the site will be after acceptance by the seller, considered firm and final.
Requests for changes, additions, deletion or other arrangement of a firm and final order must be the subject of an express agreement by the seller.
In the absence of this agreement, the initial order remains and its amount is due.
The customer is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information stated when placing an order.
The seller cannot be held responsible for the technical specifications, characteristics and references stipulated by the customer in the context of placing the order if they prove to be inadequate or erroneous.
In the same way, the seller cannot be held responsible for any delays or additional delivery costs induced by an error or inaccuracy of the customer as to the indication of the exact delivery address.
In these cases, the costs incurred by the seller, including forwarding the order, will be borne by the customer.
The seller can not be held responsible in case of impossibility of delivery due to impossibility of access to the place of delivery, or impossibility/ refusal to unload the products at the place of delivery.
In these cases, the costs incurred by the Seller, including forwarding the order, will be borne by the customer.
The customer must therefore check that access to the place of delivery is suitable for a semi-trailer. For hard to reach areas (mountains, islands) please contact us.
In the case of ordering large equipment, the customer must provide human and material resources. Indeed some carriers deliver the goods "in front of the door".
Finally, in the case of a horizontal or wall-mounted display case, the customer is informed that a handling equipment may be necessary for the unloading of the goods.

Deliveries, even free of postage, are made at the risk of the customer.
The customer must therefore, in the event of damage or missing, imperatively appeal to the last carrier by detailed reservations (On this point refer to 4.3.)
4.2 -Delivery times
In case of late delivery, the responsibility of the seller cannot be engaged whatever the cause. Thus, no request for cancellation of order, compensation of any kind, or withholding of the price can be claimed by the buyer.

4.3 Claims
During delivery, the customer must check the following points in the presence of the carrier:
Quantity and condition of packages
The conformity of the material
The condition of the goods in the packages
If the goods comply, the customer must date and sign the delivery note and enter his name.

The customer must mention on the delivery note precisely the missing or damage found in the presence of the driver
The customer must notify us immediately by email at contact@gelato-gelato.eu

6. Force Majeure
All the facts of the prince, as well as circumstances such as: strike, fire, flood, "lock-out", bad weather, shortage of fuel or means of transport, breakage of machinery, etc. and which are to be regarded as force majeure when they make supplies impossible, difficult or significantly more expensive than at the time of conclusion of the contract; these cases of force majeure above allow the seller to terminate the contract in whole or in part without any obligation of compensation.
