1. Prices
   The prices of Food Tours are given in the Catalogue and, unless otherwise stated in writing, are inclusive of VAT.

III. Payment methods
The Consumer must follow the payment procedure indicated on the Site. The payment is via PayPal’s online payment gateway, one of the world’s most used instruments for the purchase of goods and services via e-money, thanks in part to the security measures adopted.
Upon completion of the order the Consumer is directed to the PayPal page. The amount of the order is charged to the PayPal account or the selected payment instrument following the relative payment procedure.
For each transaction the Client will receive an email confirming the payment from PayPal and subsequently a Voucher from the Company to the email address communicated by the Consumer, who hereby authorises its sending. The agreement shall be deemed to be complete upon reception of the confirming Voucher. The email automatically sent by PayPal is thus not in itself sufficient to ensure that the Company has received the order correctly. The Voucher from the Company gives the Date and Time when the Food Tour will take place, an ID code (“Object code”) to be used for every subsequent communication with the Company and the data entered by the Consumer. The Consumer undertakes to check the correctness of entered data and to promptly communicate any corrections and/or changes via email to the contacts specified in art. X (Complaints and other communications).
Payments shall be in Euro.
The Company shall not be held liable for possible Site transmission and communication errors deriving from the technological infrastructure used, hosted c/o Aruba S.p.A. (service called “Hosting Linux”) or deriving from the PayPal payment channel. If no email is sent by the Company, the service should not be considered to have been purchased; in such cases the Consumer is advised to contact the Company to seek an explanation.
During the booking and payment procedure the Consumer is required to expressly agree to the conditions of use and privacy policies of PayPal (for a relative description go to the site https://www.paypal.com/), which are independent from those of the Company, and are in addition to the present general conditions with regard to payments.
If the order is cancelled, the full or partial amount will be refunded, when applicable (refer to art. IV and art. V), using the same instrument used by the Consumer for the PayPal payment. It is possible to cancel the order until it attains “Confirmed” status, after which only the refund procedure can be followed in accordance with the provisions of art. V.
If he uses a PayPal account the Consumer may check the order status by logging onto the personal area and clicking on “Management of Accounts and Orders”. Once the request to cancel the transaction has been made, under no circumstances may the Company be held liable for possible damage, direct or indirect, caused by delays in releasing the amount allotted by PayPal.
Details of the Consumer’s credit card are handled solely by PayPal, and are not given to the Company at any time during the payment procedure.

   If the event is cancelled for one of the above reasons the amount paid for the purchase will be refunded in full.

   Possible cancellations and/or changes will be communicated by the Company as soon as possible via the contacts (email and telephone) specified by the Consumer at the time of the PayPal payment.

Even if it is not possible to contact or notify the Consumer prior to the scheduled time of the Food Tour, only the amount paid by the consumer will be refunded.
