- Product Information; Product Pricing and Availability.
5.1 The Products for sale are those described on the pages of the Site, where each Product is accompanied by a Product Sheet. In any case, it is understood that such information may be subject to periodic changes and updates, for the purpose of further improving the Product.
In any case of purchase, made pursuant to articles 3 and 4 of the General Conditions, the description of the Product contained in the Product Sheet will be valid, as indicated in the Order issued with Account or with the Order Confirmation.
5.2 All prices of the Products published on the Site are expressed in Euros and are inclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT). Any additional costs will be expressly and separately indicated in the Order form, before the User proceeds to issue the same. If the Products are to be delivered to a country outside the European Union, the Customer must pay any customs duties and any other sales tax, in accordance with the regulations in force in the country of delivery of the Products.
Before sending the Order, the User is invited to inquire about the existence of duties or taxes applied by the country of destination of the Products.
Any additional costs, charges, taxes and duties not explicitly indicated in the Order summary are the sole responsibility of the User.
The User declares to be aware of the fact that his/her lack of knowledge of costs, charges, duties, taxes and charges not explicitly indicated in the Order cannot constitute a reason for termination of the purchase contract nor can it be charged in any way to the Seller.
5.3 The Seller reserves the right to change the price of the Products at any time, without notice, it being understood that the price charged to the User will be the one published on the Product Sheet at the time of issuing the Order with Account and/or the Order Confirmation, as provided for in articles 3 and 4.2 of the General Conditions and that no account will be taken of any variations (increases or decreases) subsequent to the transmission of the same.
5.4 Products may be offered for sale on the Site at discounted prices. The price indicated on the Site and on which the discount applied by the Seller is calculated, if applicable, corresponds to the list price published on the Site.
5.5 In the event that a Product is offered on the Site at a discounted price, the full reference price on which the discount is calculated will also be indicated in the Product Sheet.
5.6. The Shipping costs of the Products may be fixed or variable, calculated based on the number of Products selected and/or the destination address of the Products, as per Order Confirmation. The Shipping costs may also be included in the sale price of some Products or be free if the total amount of the Order is higher than a certain value or following a specific promotion. In any case, the User is always informed of the amount of the Shipping costs before completing the purchase procedure, issuing the Order and making the payment.
The Products offered on the Site are limited in number. It may therefore happen, also due to the possibility that multiple Users purchase the same Product at the same time, that the ordered Product is no longer available, following the transmission of the Order .
5.7 In any case of unavailability of the Product indicated in the Order, without prejudice to the other rights attributed to the User by law and, in particular, by Chapter XIV of Title II of Book IV of the civil code, the Seller will immediately notify the User by e-mail to the e-mail address indicated at the time of the Order or Registration on the Site. The Seller, therefore, will not proceed in this case to issue the Order Confirmation and the purchase will therefore not be completed.
5.8 In the event that the Consumer User exercises the right of Withdrawal, pursuant to art. 61, paragraphs IV and V of the Consumer Code, and the payment of the Total Amount Due has already occurred, the Seller will refund the Amount of the goods without undue delay and, in any case, within fourteen (14) calendar days from receipt of the withdrawal notice sent by the User. In any case, reference is made to the provisions of the Consumer Information on withdrawal. The amount of the refund will be communicated to the User by email to the email address indicated during Registration on the Site or when the Order Confirmation is issued and credited to the same payment method used by the User for the purchase. Any delays in crediting may depend on the type of credit card or payment solution used. In any case, the value date of the re-credited amount will be the same as the debit.
5.9 The previous paragraphs 7 and 8 will also be applied in the case of a Multiple Order if (i) all the Products in the Multiple Order are unavailable or (ii) only some of them, it being understood that in the latter case they will apply exclusively in relation to the unavailable Products.
- Payments
6.1 By issuing the Order, in the manner provided for in articles 3 and 4.2 of the General Conditions, the User will pay the Total Amount Due, according to the payment methods provided for in the following art. 8 of the General Conditions. The issuing of the Order implies the obligation to pay and the Platform will issue the Order Confirmation only after receiving confirmation of the successful payment of the Total Amount Due, except in any case as provided for in the following art. 9 with regard to the Shipping address.
6.2 In the event that the Total Amount Due is not paid or the successful outcome of the payment is not confirmed, no Order Confirmation will be issued, the Order will be cancelled/cancelled and the purchase contract will be deemed not to have been perfected.
The User will be notified by email to the email address indicated during Registration on the Site and/or the Order issued pursuant to art. 4.2 of the General Conditions of the failure to issue the Order Confirmation and the consequent cancellation of the Order.
6.3 The Products will remain the property of the Seller until the Order Confirmation has been issued.
6.4 In the Order Confirmation email the User will also find the Order number, which he/she must then use in any subsequent communication with the Seller, as well as the billing address.
- Right of withdrawal
7.1 The Consumer User has the right to withdraw from the Product purchase contract, without having to provide any reason within fourteen (14) calendar days from receipt of the Products without having to bear costs other than those provided for in the Consumer Information and which the User expressly declares to have seen and accepted and to which reference is made as attached documents and an integral part of these General Conditions.
7.2 In the event that the withdrawal has not been exercised in accordance with the provisions of the applicable legislation, in the General Conditions and in the Withdrawal and Returns Information for the consumer, it will not entail the termination of the contract and, consequently, will not give the right to any return or refund.
- Payment Methods
8.1 The payment of the Total Amount Due can be made by: credit or debit card or by other payment methods, indicated in the payment section of the Site, as provided directly by the managers of the chosen payment services. If the Customer makes the payment by credit card, the transaction will take place via a protected site to which the Customer will be automatically directed after having opted for this payment method.
Transactions will take place through the STRIPE Inc. platform, with registered office at 510 Townsend St.- CA 94103 – San Francisco.
The data will be transmitted to this operator in protected mode, through encrypted transfer with a 128-bit SSL (SecureSocketLayer) system.
If the User selects a different payment method, he/she will be redirected to the websites of the chosen payment service providers and will have to pay the Total Amount Due according to the authentication and payment procedure provided for and regulated by such providers, according to the terms and conditions of the contract agreed between the User and such providers, authorising the Seller from now on. to receive the data.
8.2 In order to guarantee the security of payments, Users are reminded that the payment service providers chosen according to the methods set out in art. 8.1 may, through automated systems, request the User to recognise the data indicated by the User, before proceeding with the payment of the Total Amount Due.
8.3 In the event of failure to authenticate the data, as provided for in art. 8.2 above, with consequent failure to pay the Total Amount Due, the Order issued via Account or pursuant to art. 4.2 of the General Conditions will be cancelled and the Seller will not proceed with the Order Confirmation.
8.4 The personal and confidential data relating to the means of payment used (card number, holder, expiration date, security code) are encrypted and transmitted directly to the payment manager indicated in art. 8.1 without passing through the Platform and servers used by the Seller, according to the security procedures implemented by the Seller and the Manager, as provided for in the Privacy Policy. The Seller therefore never has access to and does not store the data relating to the means of payment used by the User to pay for the Products.
8.5 In addition to the payment methods described above, to purchase products it is possible to use the credit included in the “Gift Card”. The Gift Card can be purchased at the Keepup store and on the Site. The Gift Card can be used one or more times to pay for an order until the amount of the available credit is reached, possibly completed by another form of payment accepted among those indicated above, with the sole exclusion of cash on delivery. Terms, conditions and methods of use of the Gift Card can be viewed at the following link https://www.keepupshop.com/pages/gift-card .
8.6 Regarding liability in payment methods, Keepup assumes no responsibility for any fraudulent or illicit use that may be made by third parties of credit cards, cheques and other means of payment, or of the Gift Card when paying for the products purchased, if it can demonstrate that it has adopted all possible precautions based on the best science and experience of the moment and based on ordinary diligence.
- Shipping of products – Consumer Services
9.1 The Shipping of the Products purchased on the Site is carried out to the Shipping address indicated by the User and reported in the Order Confirmation within the expected delivery times indicated in the Order Confirmation. The Shipping obligation is fulfilled by transferring the material availability or in any case the control of the Products to the User. The risk of loss or damage to the Products for reasons not attributable to the Seller, will be transferred to the User, when the latter, or a third party designated by him and other than the courier, physically takes possession of the Products following the Shipment.

9.4 The shipping costs of the Products, which may vary in relation to the shipping method chosen by the User, and any other additional costs are the responsibility of the User, as reported in the Total Amount Due.
Their amount will be expressly and separately indicated (in Euros and including VAT) in the Product Sheet and in the Order Confirmation.
9.5 The Shipping terms are those indicated in the Order Confirmation. They start from the issue of the Order Confirmation. In the event of failure to indicate a Shipping term, it will take place, in any case, within thirty days from the date of issue of the Order Confirmation. The Shipping terms are calculated considering only working days and therefore excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
9.6 At the time of Shipment, i.e. delivery of the Products to the courier, the User will be sent an email confirming the Shipment, containing a link that will allow the progress of the Shipment to be followed.
9.7 It is the User's responsibility to check the condition of the Product delivered to him/her. Therefore, the User is advised to check the integrity of the packaging and the number of Products received and, where possible, to indicate any anomalies on the carrier's transport document. In the event that the packaging shows obvious signs of tampering or alteration, the User is advised to refuse delivery by the carrier/shipper or to accept delivery "with reservation" and, in both cases, to promptly notify Customer Service. The application of the rules regarding the right of withdrawal and the legal guarantee of conformity remains unchanged. For Professional Users, the guarantees pursuant to the law apply.
9.8 The User acknowledges that the collection of the Product is a specific obligation deriving from the purchase contract. In the event of failure to Ship due to the absence of the recipient at the address specified in the Order Confirmation, the courier will leave a notice of passage in the letterbox containing the number to contact him. The courier will then make a second delivery attempt. After two failed delivery attempts, the package will go "in storage". Customer Service will then send an email to the User in order to release the storage and ensure that the package is delivered to him as soon as possible. If necessary, Customer Service may agree with the User to change the Shipping address. If this attempt also fails or the User does not respond to the contact attempt of Customer Service, the Product will be returned to the Seller and, in any case, after 14 calendar days from the first delivery attempt, the contract will be considered terminated and the Purchase Order consequently cancelled pursuant to art. 1456 of the Civil Code.
The Seller will then proceed, within fourteen (14) working days following the termination of the contract, to refund the Total Amount Due paid by the User, minus the costs of the unsuccessful delivery of the Product, the costs of returning it to the Seller and any other costs incurred due to the failed delivery caused by the absence of the recipient. The termination of the contract and the amount of the refund will be communicated to the user via email.
In the event that, before the expiry of the thirty-day period, the User requests to receive the Product again, the Seller will proceed with the new Shipment after charging, in addition to the costs of the same, the costs of returning the Product to the Seller and the storage costs.
9.9 In the event that the purchased Product is not delivered or is delivered late with respect to the Shipping terms indicated in the Order Confirmation, the Consumer User, pursuant to art. 61 of the Consumer Code, invites the Seller to make the delivery within an additional period appropriate to the circumstances (“Additional Period pursuant to art. 61, co. III, Consumer Code”). If such additional period expires without the Products having been delivered, the User is entitled to terminate the contract (“Termination of the Contract pursuant to art. 61, co. III, Consumer Code”), without prejudice to the right to compensation for damages.
The User is not burdened with the obligation to grant the Seller the Additional Term pursuant to art. 61, paragraph III, Consumer Code (“Excluded Cases”) if a) the Seller has expressly refused to deliver the Products; b) compliance with the delivery deadline indicated during the purchase process and in the order confirmation must be considered essential, taking into account all the circumstances that accompanied the conclusion of the contract; c) the User has informed the Seller, before the conclusion of the contract, that delivery within or on a specific date is essential. In the Excluded Cases, if the User does not receive the Products within the delivery deadline indicated during the purchase process and in the order confirmation, he is entitled to immediately terminate the contract, without prejudice to the right to compensation for damages (“Termination of the Contract in the Excluded Cases”).
The indication of the Additional Term pursuant to art. 61, co. III, Consumer Code and the communication of Termination of the Contract pursuant to art. 61, co. III, Consumer Code or Termination of the Contract in the Excluded Cases must be communicated by the User to the Seller at the addresses indicated in art. 13 below.
In the event of Termination of the Contract pursuant to art. 61, co. III, Consumer Code or Termination in the Excluded Cases, the Seller will refund the Consumer User the Total Amount Due without undue delay. The refund will take place in accordance with the procedures set out in art. 9.11 below.
The User shall have the right to avail himself at any time of such remedies and/or the ordinary means of protection made available by law and, in particular, by Chapter XIV of Title II of Book IV of the Civil Code.
9.10 In all cases in which a refund is due to the User, as provided for in this art. 9, the refund amount will be communicated to the User by email. It will be credited to the same payment method used by the User for the purchase. Any delays may depend on the type of credit card used or the payment solution used. In any case, the value date of the refunded amount will be the same as the debit.
