C – Sales and Purchase Procedure

1.      The Client shall purchase only products listed in the electronic catalogue of Vepram Vetoplast Srl upon placement of order at www.vepram.com, as described in the respective technical specifications. Technical specifications published at www.vepram.com reproduce faithfully those of the manufacturers of the goods listed in the catalogue. Therefore, Vepram Vetoplast srl reserves the right to modify the technical specifications of products in order to adjust them in accordance with technical information provided by manufacturers, without any prior notification thereof. It is understood that images provided in product specifications may not fully represent their features and differ in color, dimensions as well as accessories in the figure. All the supportive information on purchase (Glossary, Purchase Guide, etc.) shall be deemed as a simple generic information not related to the real features of any single product.
2.      Correct acceptance of the order shall be confirmed by Vepram Vetoplast srl by an email sent to the electronic mail address provided by the Client. Such confirmation message shall contain the date and hour of the order receipt as well as a “Client Order Number” to be referred to in any future communications with Vepram Vetoplast Srl..
