SALES DOCUMENT

As expressed by article 22 of 1972 Decree n. 633DPR n.633, Indirect e-commerce transactions are not subject to the obligation to issue an invoice (if not expressly requested by the client during the order purchase ). Furthermore, and according to article 2 of the Presidential Decree on December 21, 1996, no. 696 e-commerce transactions do not foresee the certification obligation represented by issuing the receipt or the tax receipt. By indirect electronic commerce we mean a commercial transaction that takes place electronically and after which a physical delivery of the goods, through traditional shipping means, at home is followed (check Resolution 21 July 2008, n. 312 / E , Resolution 15 November 2004, no. 133 / E). The sales document is valid for the purposes of guaranteeing the purchased goods. Therefore, it is important that the customer preserve this document which proves the effectuated purchase in all aspects and that certifies its regular guarantee. In case of loss, a copy can be requested by sending an email to info@gpsmele.it indicating as the subject "Copy of the Sales Document" and in the email’s body the date and number of the sales document or the related order number.
