Discounts can’t be combined with other promotions.
The availability of the product is updated based on the number of products available. Since access and the ability to place orders online alter product availability, Sigma Gi does not guarantee the definite allocation of merchandise ordered. In any case, Sigma Gi also offers the Customer the ability to pre-order certain products for which Sigma Gi will notify the Customer of delivery times (which could be longer than ordinary delivery times) and availability by sending an email or contacting the customer by telephone.
Before confirming the purchase, the Customer shall be informed of the unit cost of each product chosen, the total order line, the total cost of the order when more than one product is purchased.
After having completed the purchase order, the Customer will receive a first email message in which Sigma Gi sends notification of having received the order and indicating the order number. In the days that follow, and approximately two business days although this is not a definite and binding time frame, Sigma Gi will send another email to the Customer to communicate that the order was accepted, confirming that the product(s) will be sent to the address indicated and providing the user with an estimated delivery date. Upon receipt of the email, the Customer can verify that the data and products purchased are correct and, if necessary, notify and/or request information from customercare@sigmagi.it or via fax at: +39 05572231250.

Article 4 - Payment methods
Instalment payments are not permitted.
If the Customer has chosen to pay with the credit cards available and indicated online, payment must be made at the time of order. The provider will automatically verify the card at the time of order, sending an email indicating the result of the transaction. Sigma Gi will collect the credit when the goods are dispatched.
qui va modificato: The custumer is asked to pay 20% deposit by credit card when the order is confirmed. The balance will be paid with bank transfer. Sigma Gi will inform regarding our bank data. After 5 business days, the order will be cancelled and the partial credit card payment will be retained.
Prices are subject to change at any time but these changes do not affect orders that have already been confirmed with the methods described above.
If the credit card institution or our service provider refuses or does not authorise or validate the payment for any reason, Sigma Gi is not responsible for delays or failure to deliver the original products.
When the information needed to complete the payment is missing, Sigma Gi reserves the right to automatically cancel the order.
At no time during the order is Sigma Gi able to gain knowledge of the information regarding the credit card and credit card number of the purchaser or the Customer's financial, property and personal data. In fact, this is sent through a protected connection directly to the bank or finance company portal at the time of Customer confirmation. Therefore, Sigma Gi is in no way responsible and cannot be held responsible for any fraudulent and unlawful use of the credit card by third parties during the product purchase and payment procedure.

Article 5 - Delivery

If this is not done the Customer may not then contest the external non-conformity of the product and quantity ordered after delivery.
Without being binding for Sigma Gi, the goods will be shipped within approximately 7 business days from order confirmation, as always upon prior verification of payment. For orders where Sigma Gi has received notification of payment errors such as, for example, a difference between the name of the individual registered and the owner of the credit card, the customer must make a written declaration stating that payment is being made by a company other than the owner of the credit card. In this case, shipping may be delayed while waiting for the required declaration from the customer.
