6. Method of payment
- The price of the products and relative delivery charges may be paid by PayPal, credit card or credit transfer.a) PayPal (Ebay group company).Paypal offers an online payment system through credit card, acting as intermediary between the user and whoever receives the payment. With more than 100 million accounts worldwide, PayPal offers customers the security of knowing that the details on their card are not held by the other party: your details are inserted just once and from then on all you have to do is access your own account to make payments. With PayPal it is possible to pay for purchases by linking your PayPal account to a credit card (or rechargeable prepaid card) Visa, Visa Electron and MasterCard, or using your own balance. Registration is free of charge and quick; all that is needed is an e-mail address, which will also be used to notify every transaction that is carried out. The order is sent immediately. If you are already registered or you register at the time of placing the order, you can pay in all safety with PayPal. When you use this method we can check immediately and in real time if our PayPal account has been credited and the order is then processed at once. The order will be indicated as prepaid in the confirmation of order that the Customer will receive via e-mail.For more information on the PayPal payment system, go to the website www.paypal.comb) Credit cardAll Visa, Visa Electron, V Pay, MasterCard and Maestro credit cards and prepaid cards can be used on this site.Merotto Milani S.r.l. uses the secure payment system PagOnline Carte offered by the UniCredit banking group, which allows online purchases to be made with the guarantee of security and privacy. Transactions are not completed with tools managed by Merotto Milani S.r.l., but through UniCredit banking group servers with secure technology. Merotto Milani S.r.l. does not therefore have access to information related to the credit card, but simply manages buyers’ details (name, surname, address…) needed for sending the products to their domicile.c) Advance bank transfer
This method allows Customers to pay for their purchases after having sent the order, by making a credit transfer to the following bank account:
Beneficiary: Merotto Milani S.r.l.
IBAN: IT13D0200812060000103070462
Reason: insert assigned order number given in the confirmation of order sent via e-mail.
Details of the current account and the IBAN code will also be given in the summary e-mail at the time of placing the order.
The order will only start to be processed when the payment is effectively credited to the current account of Merotto Milani S.r.l. and the confirmation of order sent to the Customer via e-mail will have the wording “waiting for payment”.
To ensure that the purchase goes through, the credit operation must be completed within 5 business days from the date the order is accepted; when this period has elapsed the order will be automatically cancelled.
Merotto Milani S.r.l. only accepts the transfer if all the bank or additional charges are paid by the Customer.
If the transfer amount does not correspond to the amount of the order, Merotto Milani S.r.l. will contact the Customer to agree the methods for proceeding with the actual order.
It is recommended that the Customer keep a copy of the bank transfer receipt as proof of payment.
- Merotto Milani S.r.l. reserves the right to ask the Customer for additional information (e.g. landline telephone number) or to send a copy of documents proving ownership of the card that has been used. If the requested documentation is not provided, Merotto Milani S.r.l. reserves the right not to accept the order.
- At no time during the purchase procedure is Merotto Milani S.r.l. able to know the details related to the buyer’s credit card, since they are inserted directly onto the website of the bank that is managing the transaction, nor is there any possibility that these details are intercepted. Under no circumstances may Merotto Milani S.r.l. therefore be held liable for any pirating or unauthorised use of credit cards by third parties upon paying for products purchased on the website terrediatanor.local.
- Under no circumstances may Customers be held liable for delays or problems in payment when they can show that the payment has been made within the times and in the ways indicated by Merotto Milani S.r.l.
7. Delivery times
- Delivery times of ordered products are approximate; they may vary due to traffic or road conditions in general, official acts or force majeure (strikes by carriers, etc.), as well as otherwise unforeseeable events such as earthquake, flood, fire, explosion and so on. In such events Merotto Milani S.r.l. assumes no liability for consequent disservice or for damage or loss or expense suffered as a result of non-performance of the contract due to the aforesaid reasons.
- In respect of the Order received from the Customer, Merotto Milani S.r.l. undertakes to process the order within 30 days from confirmation of the purchase or from payment if the Customer has used the bank transfer method. Otherwise the order will be cancelled and the Customer will be refunded any amount paid. Merotto Milani S.r.l. may not, however, be held liable in the event of delay in the processing of the order or delivery of the ordered goods entrusted to the delivery courier.The e-commerce system used on the website terrediatanor.local is intended to offer the Customer the maximum possibility of choice of products for each selected designer. The delivery time of 30 days is influenced by the fact that the Atanor products are made with handicraft and not industrial processes, which require much longer supply and production times because they are made in small lots. Merotto Milani S.r.l. will promptly inform Customers via e-mail of any problems over product availability or excessive delays in delivery so that Customers may freely decide whether or not to withdraw from the contract in accordance with the law.
- Merotto Milani S.r.l. will send an e-mail to Customers at the address specified on the order, which will contain the date on which the goods were delivered to the courier and the relative tracking number.
- With reference to delivery of the goods by courier, the obligation of Merotto Milani S.r.l. to deliver the product is considered as duly fulfilled when the ordered goods are handed over to the courier. Any delays or mistakes or similar events in delivery of the goods shall therefore be the sole responsibility of the company that manages the dispatch and delivery. In such events the Customer undertakes not to make any claim for compensation against Merotto Milani S.r.l..
- Neither can Merotto Milani S.r.l. be held liable for delayed or non-delivery in the event in which: despite having proceeded with the regular and prompt purchase of the products from its own suppliers to cover the received Order, it has not been supplied within the times and in the ways agreed with the supplier; it is unable to make up for the non-availability of such products due to circumstances beyond its control and has promptly notified the Customer of the non-availability.

- Il documento di consegna rilasciato dal trasportatore, datato e firmato dal cliente alla consegna del prodotto costituirà una prova in materia di trasporto e rilascio del bene.The delivery document issued by the carrier, dated and signed by the Customer upon delivery of the product, shall be proof in respect of transportation and release of the goods.

Such differences are due to the fact that Atanor products are made with handicraft and not industrial processes.

- Should the foregoing provisions not be complied with, withdrawal shall not take effect and as a consequence the returned product will not be accepted by Merotto Milani S.r.l..
