Before the purchase contract is concluded, the CUSTOMER reviews the characteristics of the goods, which are set out on the individual product pages at the time the CUSTOMER makes their choice.

The sales contract is deemed concluded when BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA sends the CUSTOMER an order confirmation email. The email contains the CUSTOMER’s details and the order number, the price of the goods purchased, the shipping costs, the delivery address to which the goods will be sent, and the link to print and store a copy of these terms.
The CUSTOMER undertakes to check that the personal details in the above email are correct and to notify BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA promptly of any corrections or changes needed.
BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA undertakes to describe and present the items sold on the site as accurately as possible. Even so, there may be errors, inaccuracies or small differences between the product shown on the site and the actual product. Furthermore, the photographs of the products shown on www.blacksquirrelparacord.com do not form part of the contract, as they are to be considered indicative only.
BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA undertakes to deliver the goods within 15 days of sending the order confirmation email to the CUSTOMER.
All communications relating to the order, the shipment and any holding of the goods at the depot are sent to the e-mail address given by the CUSTOMER when placing the order, which for this purpose constitutes the electronic address elected by the CUSTOMER. It is the CUSTOMER’s responsibility to check that it is correct and to check their inbox regularly, including the spam folder.
Product availability refers to actual availability at the moment the CUSTOMER places the order. That availability should nevertheless be treated as indicative only, because:
– products may be sold to other CUSTOMERS before the order is confirmed, because several users are on the site at the same time,
– a technical fault may make a product available for purchase when in fact it is not.
Even after BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA has sent the order confirmation email, the goods may turn out to be partly or wholly unavailable. In that case the order will be adjusted automatically, removing the unavailable product or products, and the CUSTOMER will be informed immediately by email; that email will also tell the customer how and when any sums already paid will be refunded.
Any payment by the CUSTOMER may only be made using the credit cards listed on the site www.blacksquirrelparacord.com, by bank transfer or via Paypal.
Where payment is made by Paypal, the charge is actually taken when BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA sends the order confirmation email.
Payment communications and the data provided by the CUSTOMER at the time of payment take place over dedicated secure connections. The security of credit card payments is guaranteed by VBV (Verified by VISA) and SCM (Security Code Mastercard) certification.
All product sale prices shown on the site www.blacksquirrelparacord.com are in Euros and include VAT.
Shipping costs are not included in the purchase price, but are shown and calculated at the end of the purchase process, before payment is made.
The CUSTOMER accepts that BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA may change its prices at any time; however, the goods will be invoiced at the prices shown on the site at the time the order was created and stated in the confirmation email sent by BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA to the CUSTOMER.
In the event of a computer, manual, technical or any other kind of error causing a substantial change to the retail price not intended by BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA, making it exorbitant or clearly negligible, the purchase order will be considered invalid and cancelled, and the amount paid by the CUSTOMER will be refunded within 14 days of the date of cancellation.
In accordance with the legal provisions in force, the CUSTOMER has the right to withdraw from the purchase without penalty and without giving a reason, within 14 days of the date the products are received.
A CUSTOMER wishing to exercise the right of withdrawal must notify BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA by explicit statement, which may be sent by email or made by telephone.
Where the right of withdrawal is exercised, the CUSTOMER must return the goods within 14 days of the day they notified BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA of their intention to withdraw from the contract, pursuant to art. 57 of Legislative Decree 206/2005.
The goods must be returned to Black Squirrel Paracord di Vincenzo Adamo, via XXVII Maggio, 11 – 91026 – Mazara del Vallo (TP), Italy
The goods must be returned undamaged, in their original packaging, complete in all their parts (including packaging and any documentation and accessories: manuals, cables, etc.) and together with any tax documentation enclosed.

As provided by art. 56 paragraph 3 of Legislative Decree 206/2005, as amended by Legislative Decree 21/2014, BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA may withhold the refund until it has received the goods or until the CUSTOMER has shown evidence of having sent them back to BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA.
BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA will issue the refund using the same payment method chosen by the CUSTOMER at the time of purchase. Where payment was made by bank transfer, a CUSTOMER wishing to exercise their right of withdrawal must provide BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA, via the contact us section, with their bank details: the IBAN, SWIFT and BIC needed for BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA to make the refund.
*It is understood that where the product is faulty or BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA has made a mistake (for example: model, colour, size), the shipping costs will in all cases be borne by BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA.
If the products received are faulty or otherwise not as ordered, the CUSTOMER has the right to have the product brought back into conformity free of charge, by repair or replacement. The CUSTOMER may exercise this right if the fault appears within two years of delivery of the goods and they report the fault to BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA within two months of discovering it. To exercise the above right, the customer must notify BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA by email or telephone. Where a product is faulty or not as ordered, BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA will arrange collection of the product at its own expense, subject to the CUSTOMER’s availability.

Accuracy of the details provided by the CUSTOMER.
The CUSTOMER is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the details entered when placing the order, in particular the delivery address, the e-mail address and the telephone number. These details are the only contact information used by BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA and by the appointed courier for every communication relating to the order and the shipment, including communications about unsuccessful delivery attempts, goods being held at the courier’s depot and the deadline by which the goods may be collected. BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA is not liable for failed delivery or for its consequences where this is due to incorrect, incomplete or no longer active contact details provided by the CUSTOMER.
Goods held at the depot and failure to collect.
Where delivery cannot be completed for reasons not attributable to BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA — by way of example: the recipient being absent at the delivery attempts, an incorrect or incomplete address, refusal of the parcel, the recipient being unreachable at the contact details provided — the goods are held at the courier’s depot. The courier notifies the CUSTOMER at the contact details provided and states the deadline by which the goods may be collected. If that deadline passes without collection, the goods are returned to the courier’s premises and subsequently to BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA, and the release and return charges applied by the courier are debited.
Consequences of failure to collect.
In the case described above, the CUSTOMER must inform BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA, within 7 days of being asked, which of the following options they wish to take:
a) redelivery: the goods are shipped again to the address given by the CUSTOMER, subject to payment by the CUSTOMER of any release charges applied by the courier and of the cost of the new shipment, at the rates published on the website;
b) cancellation of the order: BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA refunds the CUSTOMER the price of the products purchased. The original shipping costs, the cost of returning the goods and any release charges applied by the courier remain payable by the CUSTOMER and are therefore withheld from the refunded amount, as costs actually incurred by BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA as a result of the failure to collect. The exact amount withheld is notified to the CUSTOMER by e-mail before the refund is made.
If the CUSTOMER does not reply within 7 days, BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA cancels the order in accordance with point b).
Relationship with the right of withdrawal.
This article does not affect the right of withdrawal set out in article 7, which the CUSTOMER remains free to exercise on the terms and in the manner described therein.
BLACKSQUIRREL PARACORD ITALIA accepts no liability for disruption caused by force majeure or unforeseeable events, including any arising from malfunctions or outages of the internet, where it is unable to fulfil the order within the time frame set out in the contract.

Any dispute not settled amicably shall fall within the jurisdiction of the court of the place where the consumer CUSTOMER resides or is domiciled, whether in Italy or in another Member State of the European Union (Article 66-bis of the Italian Consumer Code and Articles 17–18 of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012).
