1.  SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CONTRACT

These general conditions of sale are intended to regulate the sale contract between ALISEA, the seller, and the CUSTOMER, who purchases, online via the Internet, the moveable tangible goods indicated and offered for sale on the website www.perpetua.it.
On the page dedicated to the product, the CUSTOMER is informed about the characteristics of the individual products, which can be consulted in the individual tables displayed once the specific item has been selected by the CUSTOMER. These tables contain information relating to the materials used to manufacture the product and its aesthetic and functional characteristics.
ALISEA points out that the images depict the product that will be purchased by the CUSTOMER, subject to any distortions that may be created by the use of photographic filters, used to improve the quality of the image and to allow the CUSTOMER to examine the product in detail.
The product reflects the characteristics indicated in the tables, which refer to use of the article for the specific purposes for which it was designed and intended. ALISEA will not therefore be held liable for non-conforming characteristics of the article caused when the product is used for purposes differing from that for which it was intended. Equally, ALISEA will not be held liable for the imprudent use of the product or for a purpose other than that for which it was designed, or for use on the part of subjects who are unfit for any reason to utilise it correctly.
