How
to Purchase
How to purchase VILLAGEITALY is structured just like a gallery where
customers may go window-shopping and have a look at the items displayed.
They may therefore place their orders.
Purchasing
Once the customer has selected the chosen firm, s/he may access the
window where s/he may view the full details of the items displayed.
the customer may also access general information on the firm and on
the dispalyed items. Each item comes with a brief description and its
price in Italian lire.
Customersi
may check the price in their national currency by clicking on the icon
next to the item. Prices are always VAT included. When the customer
wants to place an order for a single item, s/he just needs to include
the desired quantity and then click on the cart icon next to the picture.
In this way the selected item is stored in the "cart", according to
the desired quantity. Such transaction may be repeated to purchase other
items.
When
visiting the gallery the customers may, at any time, check what they
got inside their cart by clicking the cart icon in the upper left corner
of the screen. Once the shopping is done and the visit to the gallery
come to an end, customers may start the payment transaction.
Payment Customers may pay for the selected items by credit card (CARTASI'
/ VISA / MASTERCARD / EUROCARD/ DINERS) through secure on-line transactions.
When purchasing for the first time ever, VILLAGEITALY asks the customers
to fill in a registration form with his/her data. Italian law on privacy
policy (L. 675/96) takes appropriate steps to protect the customers'
privacy.
The
personal information and data collected will only be used in order to
process purchase orders and they will therefore be provided only to
the relevant shipping company. Under no circumstances will customer
information be shared with third parties for commercial or any other
purposes without the customer's express consent. During registration
the customer is required to supply personal data to process orders.
Once
registration is over, the customer will be given a personal code number
which s/he may use for future purchases. By using her/his personal number
the customer will be eligible for discounts, sales promotions and the
launch of new products. Villageitaly therefore advises always to use
the personal number to avoid repeating registration procedures any time
the customer accesses the site.

and in foreign countries). Villageitaly only uses fast reliable carriers.
Delivery
times may vary according to transpor times and item availability. Being

only uses fast reliable carriers.

item availability) or normal carrier (delivery within 5 days depending

have the item delivered at a different address, customers need feel
in a separate purchase form where to state the recipient's name and
address. Customers may also add a personal note or message in the appropriate
box in the form.
