According to Article 22, paragraph 1 of the DPR 633/1972 for indirect e-commerce or mail-order shopping, the issuance of an invoice is not compulsory unless expressly requested before the sale acceptance. Currently, every sale for which the issuance of an invoice is compulsory is acquired by the Agenzia delle Entrate through the so-called "spesometro". This is not the case for those sales documented by ordinary "corrispettivi", unless their amount is over €3,600.00. The Company reserves the right to refuse orders whose amount is over €3,600.00 if the customer refuses to provide all ID data required by the Company to comply with this law.

18. Products in the Outlet Section

Every product chosen from the Outlet section of ratio-computers.com is sold "as is".

They may show aesthetic faults or other differences compared to a "new" product.

Such faults are indicated in the description of each product (ref. "Outlet Reasons").

Outlet products can be included in the "Outlet" section for different reasons at the Company's discretion. However, the reason will be specified in the product description.

Before including a product in the "Outlet" section for any reason, the Company checks that the product works properly and then indicates any possible aesthetic faults.

By purchasing a product from the "Outlet" section, the customer declares to be aware of such aesthetic faults listed in the product description and accepts that the discount applied to that product is due to the presence of those faults.

The customer is aware and accepts that he/she cannot activate warranty procedures for the faults listed in the product description. In no case will the faults concern the functional aspect of the product.

Outlet products are covered by Ratio Computers Warranty for a period of 2 (two) years from the date of purchase concerning only the functional parts of the product. On Outlet products, the warranty does not cover purely aesthetic parts.
