The User must select the products and complete the check-out, after carefully verifying the information contained in the order summary. The order is placed by confirming it and is subject to the payment of the price, taxes, and shipping and payment fees indicated in the Order Summary form. The contract is concluded at the time of sending the Order Confirmation and Shipping by Gp Hub Srl to the email address provided by the User. Gp Hub Srl reserves the right not to confirm an order, notifying the User within 5 working days from the insertion of the order, at the email address associated with their purchase, of the possible unavailability of one or more of the purchased products. In this case, Gp Hub Srl will refund the price and any shipping costs incurred by the User.

Gp Hub Srl uses third-party tools for payment processing and does not come into direct contact with payment data, such as credit card information, provided by the User. Any fees associated with payments that are not accepted will be charged to the User. All Prices are inclusive of VAT and expressed in Euros. The total Price resulting at the end of the Order includes shipping costs, where applicable. In order to ensure the security of payments made, Gp Hub Srl uses PayPal and Stripe as secure payment gateways (SSL), through which Users can interface with major payment networks, including Amex, Mastercard, Visa, and PostePay. The terms of use for the PayPal service are available at the following link. The terms of use for the Stripe service are available at the following link. The accepted payment methods are listed in detail on the Payments page.
Pre-authorization for Future PayPal Payments
In case of payment via PayPal account, during the purchase, Gp Hub Srl will store a recognition code associated with the customer's PayPal account, authorizing Gp Hub Srl for exclusive use related to future purchases. It is possible to revoke this authorization at any time by contacting Gp Hub Srl directly.
Ownership Reservation
Until the complete payment of the price of the ordered products, the products remain the property of the manufacturer.
Product Availability
The prices, descriptions, or availability of displayed products are subject to change without notice by the manufacturer, with the caveat that the price charged to the user will be the one published on the product information page at the time of order submission. The inserted photos are indicative and may not constitute an exact representation of the products. Gp Hub Srl, on the manufacturer's instructions, will provide product characteristics in as much detail as possible on the Platform within each product information page viewed by the User. However, the images and colors of the products offered for sale on the Platform may differ from the actual products due to multiple factors, including, for example and not limited to, the User's terminal screen, photographic filters, etc. Therefore, the User acknowledges and accepts that such minor differences do not constitute defects in product conformity. In case of unavailability of the ordered Product, subject to the rights granted to the User by law, in particular by Chapter XIV of Title II of Book IV of the Civil Code, the User will be promptly informed by email or phone. The User will be entitled to terminate the contract, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 61, IV and V paragraph, of the Consumer Code. In cases where the User exercises the right of termination under Article 61, IV and V paragraph, of the Consumer Code, or in any case where the payment of the Total Amount Due has already been made, Gp Hub Srl will refund the amount without undue delay and, in any case, within a maximum of 15 working days from the date of collection. This amount will normally be credited to the same means of payment used by the User for the purchase, or a different means agreed between the User and Gp Hub Srl. Any delays in crediting may depend on the bank, the type of credit card, or the payment solution used.
Order Execution
The Order is executed within the terms specified on the summary page and in the Order Confirmation and Shipping email, subject to the availability of the ordered product. Gp Hub Srl cannot be held responsible for damages suffered by the User due to delivery delays that are not foreseeable by the parties at the time of sending the Order Confirmation and Shipping.
Shipping
Shipping costs vary depending on the size, weight, destination of the chosen items, and marketing promotions. Free shipping is also available for orders above a certain spending threshold, depending on the destination. Deliveries will be made by BRT, SDA, GLS, UPS, Ceccarelli, PMG, etc., and by UPS Express Courier and SMM in Europe and around the world, with variable delivery times depending on the destinations. It should be noted that delivery times are only indicative and are calculated from the day of shipment. Gp Hub Srl does not assume responsibility for delivery and customs clearance delays but undertakes to minimize any inconvenience.
Order Tracking
After placing an order, you will receive an email containing all the details of your purchase. If you require further information, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. The shipment is processed on the next working day after the order date. As soon as the package is handed over to the courier, its electronic tracking begins, and the estimated delivery day is calculated. You can monitor the delivery progress by accessing the courier's tracking page through the link we will send you.
Customs and Duties
Customs duties are calculated based on the regulations of the country where the goods are in transit. Usually, customs duties are always charged to the shipment's recipient before delivery. In the customs clearance process, Gp Hub Srl and the courier do not intervene directly. This type of management is always carried out by the Customs of the country through which the goods are passing.
Customs clearance expenses and any other additional charges are the responsibility of the User.
If you have shipped within the EU, no customs tax will be applied to your shipment.
Delivery
Deliveries are made during regular business hours at the address provided by the User and according to the details specified in the order summary.
It is the User's responsibility to check the condition of the Product delivered to them. Notwithstanding that the risk of loss or damage to the Products, for reasons not attributable to Gp Hub Srl, is transferred to the User when the User, or a third party designated by the User and other than the carrier, physically takes possession of the Product. We recommend that the User check the number of Products received and ensure that the packaging is intact, undamaged, not wet, or otherwise altered, including the sealing materials. In the User's interest, we invite you to note any anomalies on the carrier's transport document, accepting the package with a reservation. In fact, the unconditional acceptance of the Products does not allow the User to take legal action against the carrier in case of loss or damage to the Products, except in cases where the loss or damage is due to the carrier's willful misconduct or gross negligence. An exception is made for partial loss or damage that is not recognizable at the time of delivery, provided that in the latter case, the damage is reported as soon as it is known and not more than eight days after receipt. In case the packaging shows obvious signs of tampering or alteration, we also recommend that the User promptly inform Gp Hub Srl's Customer Service. In any case, the rules on the right of withdrawal and legal warranty of conformity apply.
If the carrier fails to pick up the shipment within the timeframe established by the carrier, the products will be returned to Gp Hub Srl, which will refund the price of the products, including shipping costs. Gp Hub Srl cannot be held responsible for delivery errors due to inaccuracies or incompleteness in the completion of the User's purchase order, for any damage that may occur to the Products after delivery to the carrier, or for delays in delivery that are attributable to the User.
Right of Withdrawal
In the case of purchasing products or services on the Platform, the User has the right to withdraw from the contract without specifying the reasons, within 14 days. The withdrawal period expires 14 days after the day on which the User or a third party – other than the carrier and designated by the User – acquires physical possession of the goods.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the User is required to inform Gp Hub Srl and/or the manufacturer of the decision to withdraw through a clear statement sent to the contact details provided and before the end of the withdrawal period. To exercise the right of withdrawal, the User must send an email to the address:info@customersupport.it with a clear statement of their decision to withdraw from the contract (Withdrawal Statement). Since the burden of proof regarding the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the end of the Withdrawal Period rests with the User, it is in the User's interest to keep a copy of the email sent to Gp Hub Srl and/or the manufacturer with the Withdrawal Statement.
For this purpose, the User can use the withdrawal form model below:
Example of Withdrawal Form
Addressed to: _____________________________________
With this, I/we notify the withdrawal from my/our sales contract for the following goods/services:
_____________________________________ (insert here a description of the goods/services from which you intend to withdraw)
Ordered on: __________ (insert the date)
Received on: __________ (insert the date)
Name of the consumer(s): _____________________________________
Address of the consumer(s): _____________________________________
Date: __________
(sign only if this form is notified in paper version)
The User is free to express their choice to withdraw from the contract in any other equivalent form.
Effects of Withdrawal
If the User withdraws from this contract, all payments made to Gp Hub Srl will be reimbursed, including delivery costs (except for any additional costs resulting from the choice of a different type of delivery with requested additional services), without undue delay and in any case no later than 14 days from the day Gp Hub Srl is informed of the User's decision to withdraw from this contract. These refunds will be made using the same payment method used by the User for the initial transaction unless the User has expressly agreed otherwise; in any case, the User will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. The refund may be suspended until the goods are received.
The User is requested to return the goods and deliver them to the manufacturer without undue delay and, in any case, within 14 days from the day they communicated their withdrawal from this contract. The deadline is met if the User returns the goods before the 14-day period expires. The cost of returning the goods will be borne by the User, unless otherwise agreed.
Limitations on the Right of Withdrawal
Returned products that are damaged or used in a way that goes beyond what is strictly necessary to establish their nature, characteristics, and functioning will be refunded after deducting the decrease in value resulting from damage or use. The right of withdrawal, according to Article 59 of the Consumer Code, is excluded in any case in relation to:
- products made to measure or clearly customized;
- the supply of goods that may deteriorate or expire rapidly;
- the supply of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons of hygiene or related to health protection and have been opened after delivery.
