  1. INFORMATION DIRECTED TO THE CONCLUSION OF THE DISTANCE CONTRACT

4.1 Article 11 of Legislative Decree 70/2003 requires each provider of goods and/or services to provide Customers with specific information directed to the conclusion of the distance contract. Below Start Me Hub S.r.l. complies with the relevant information obligations towards Customers.

4.4 With reference to the technical means made available to the Customer to detect and correct data entry errors before placing the order, the system for concluding the Distance Contract on the Site requests confirmation of the correctness of the data entered and automatically reports any errors arising from the omission of mandatory data in the various fields of the online order.

4.5 There are no languages available to conclude the contract other than Italian.

  1. CONCLUSION OF THE DISTANCE CONTRACT

5.1 Firstly, Article 51 paragraph 2 of the Consumer Code prescribes that if a distance contract to be concluded by electronic means imposes an obligation on the consumer to pay, the trader must clearly and conspicuously communicate to the consumer the information referred to in Article 3 above, directly before the consumer places the order. In addition, with this paragraph, Start Me Hub S.r.l. fulfills its obligation to ensure that, when placing the order, the Consumer expressly acknowledges that the proposed purchase - where accepted by Start Me Hub S.r.l. - entails the obligation to pay the established price and all specified costs.

5.2 By sending the order proposal, the Customer offers to purchase a Product or Service. The sending of the order proposal does not bind Start Me Hub S.r.l. in any way - unless otherwise stated on the Site - nor can the online offer of Products or Services be understood as a proposal to the public pursuant to art. 1336 civil code. Only where Start Me Hub S.r.l. accepts - specifically and from time to time by explicit communication via e-mail transmitted to the Customer - the proposed order of purchase received from the Customer himself, the conclusion of the Distance Contract will be determined.

5.3 Before sending an order proposal, Customers are invited to ensure that they have read and understood the instructions provided during the purchase order proposal transmission procedure and these General Conditions, since they will be binding once the Distance Contract is concluded with Start Me Hub S.r.l.'s acceptance of the purchase order proposal received. By sending the proposed purchase order to Start Me Hub S.r.l., the Customer acknowledges and declares that he/she has read all the information provided to him/her during the purchase procedure, that he/she is aware that sending the proposed purchase order - if accepted by Start Me Hub S.r.l. - will entail the obligation to pay and that he/she accepts these General Conditions in full. Concurrently with the conclusion of the Distance Contract Start Me Hub S.r.l. will issue the relevant invoice that will be sent together with the ordered product or service. This document is the only documentary evidence that can be used for the exercise of warranty rights relating to the Products or Services sold.

5.4 In the event of acceptance of the proposed purchase order received by the Customer, Start Me Hub S.r.l. will acknowledge receipt of the order received by transmitting its final acceptance and the relevant order confirmation to the e-mail address that the Customer has indicated during registration on the Site. Such acceptance and order confirmation will contain - as required by applicable law - a summary of the general and particular conditions applicable to the Distance Contract already concluded, information on the essential characteristics of the good or service and detailed indication of the price, means of payment, duration of the contract, withdrawal where applicable, any delivery costs and applicable taxes. 

  1. MODE OF PAYMENT - INSTALLMENT

6.1 Start Me Hub S.r.l. accepts only the following forms of payment: Credit card of the American Express, Diners, Visa and Mastercard circuits, Paypal, bank transfer in advance. The amount due will be charged on the date of confirmation of the order. The holder of the order paid by credit card must be the owner of the credit card used. Start Me Hub S.r.l. reserves the right to require the Customer to send a copy of a valid identity document to verify ownership.

6.2 Card information is handled directly by third-party entities that specialize in handling online payments. The information is encrypted through the use of encryption systems that prevent its use by third parties and is sent by the Client directly to the Bank. Start Me Hub S.r.l. does not view or access the related data.

6.3 Start Me Hub S.r.l. reserves the right to verify compliance with the conditions mentioned in this clause by requesting the card-issuing bank to verify the genuineness of the card's ownership. This activity takes about 5 working days. At the end of the same, in case of a positive outcome, we will proceed with the delivery of the order placed.

6.4 In the case of installment payments, failure to pay, within the established terms, two installments, even if not consecutive, entails forfeiture of the benefit of the installment and the right of Start Me Hub S.r.l. to demand immediate payment of the remaining amounts still due.

  1. REMOTE CONTRACT EXECUTION

7.1 Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties or without prejudice to the cases in which - with adequate notice - Start Me Hub S.r.l. informs the Customer of different timescales about the delivery and execution of the concluded Distance Contract, based on the availability of the Products and Services or based on specific requests of the Customer that entail particular timescales for the execution, delivery and fulfillment of the accepted order proposal - and without prejudice to the cases provided for in the following clause 7.6 which shall not be considered as an extension of delivery times attributable to Start Me Hub S.r.l. - the Distance Contract concluded pursuant to these General Conditions shall be executed within the term indicated in the order confirmation and in any case within a maximum of 15 (fifteen) days from the day following the day on which Start Me Hub S.r.l. transmitted its acceptance to the Customer pursuant to Article 5.4 of these General Conditions.

7.3 The obligation of delivery is fulfilled by Start Me Hub S.r.l. by assigning and communicating to the Customer, through e-mail, the credentials for access to the online platform from which the Customer can download the purchased Products (digital delivery) or can use the purchased Products or Services. If Start Me Hub S.r.l. does not fulfill its obligation to deliver the Products or Services within the agreed term, the Consumer has the burden of inviting it to make the delivery within an additional term appropriate to the circumstances.

The Consumer has exercised his/her right of withdrawal within the withdrawal period if the notice regarding the exercise of the right of withdrawal is sent by the Consumer before the expiration of the withdrawal period. In such cases Start Me Hub S.r.l. will communicate to the Consumer a confirmation of receipt, on a durable medium (being such also an e-mail account and a declared e-mail address), of the exercised withdrawal. The burden of proof regarding the exercise of the right of withdrawal in accordance with this Article shall be on the Consumer.
