The sale of Askoll vehicles by New Works Webtech srl (the "Seller") according to the procedures set out on the website https://shop.askollelectric.com is governed solely by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms and Conditions"), in force at the time of execution of the agreement. The general Terms and Conditions are available on the website https://shop.askollelectric.com where they can be downloaded, saved and printed at any time. The following Terms and Conditions apply to sales of Askoll vehicles made in the European Union, according to the procedures set out on the website https://shop.askollelectric.com, to the end customer (the "Purchaser"). These Terms and Conditions do not affect the validity and effectiveness of the current legal provisions protecting consumers (Consumer Code - (Legislative Decree 206/2005 as from time to time amended), including the provisions of Title III, Chapter I, regarding distance contracts concluded with consumers), where applicable. A consumer is a natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his or her trade, business, craft or profession.
1.1 - The presentation of the product on the site https://shop.askollelectric.com is for information purposes only and does not imply any binding offer by the Seller. The pictures and descriptions on https://shop.askollelectric.com website reproduce the characteristics of the vehicles as closely as possible. The colours of the vehicles may, however, differ from the actual colours due to the settings of the computer systems or computers which the Purchaser employs for displaying them. Images of vehicles on https://shop.askollelectric.com may differ in size or as regards any accessories. These images should therefore be held as a mere indication and within the usual tolerances. For the purposes of the sale contract of the vehicle, the description of the vehicle contained in the contractual documentation submitted by the Purchaser shall prevail.
1.2 - The Purchaser may calculate the quote for the offer by directly performing, on the website https:// shop.askollelectric.com, the preliminary configuration of the vehicle.

At the same time as sending the Order, the Purchaser shall pay the deposit according to the provisions of art. 3 below. If the Purchaser fails to return the duly signed Order to the Seller within the terms respectively stated above, the Purchaser's initial proposal will be considered ineffective and, therefore, the Seller will ensure that the amount blocked on the Purchaser's credit card pursuant to art. 1.3 above, is released within the technical time required by the circuit of the relevant credit card.
2.2 - Once the configuration is confirmed in accordance with the procedures referred to in Article 1.2 above, the Purchaser will receive an automatic email confirmation from the Seller that the Order has been received. Such confirmation, as well as any subsequent updates on the status of the Order, sent by e-mail to the address used to submit the Order, do not constitute acceptance of the Order by the Seller.

Acceptance is communicated to the Purchaser by email. The Seller is obliged to inform the Purchaser of any non-acceptance of the Order within the aforementioned period.
2.4 - Acceptance of the Order by the Seller is subject to payment by the Purchaser of the deposit referred to in Article 3 below.
2.5 - The Purchaser undertakes not to assign any rights arising from this purchase agreement, nor to sell or transfer ownership of the vehicle during the four months following delivery of the vehicle. This time limitation on resale does not apply if the Purchaser is a consumer.

2.6 - In accordance with Legislative Decree No. 70 of 9 April 2003 laying down provisions on electronic commerce, the Seller informs the Purchaser that: the contract of sale is executed when the Purchaser receives from the Seller the confirmation pursuant to Article 2.3;

RGP Srl
Via Monte Cervino 50
20862 Arcore
The Purchaser acknowledges that the direct costs of the return cannot be calculated at present, as they depend on the location of the vehicle to be returned, but may in any case be significant. If the Purchaser decides to return the vehicle by courier, he undertakes to use a courier possessing the equipment, facilities and means suitable for transporting the vehicle. If the Purchaser wishes to employ the services of a courier selected by the Seller, at his own cost and under his own responsibility, he may send an email to the Seller requesting a non-binding estimate. Unless the Purchaser decides to employ the courier appointed by the Seller, the Purchaser shall agree in advance with the Seller on the day of actual return of the vehicle;
b) the Purchaser also undertakes to return, within the same term of 14 days of the date of the withdrawal, all documentation (including administrative and technical documentation) relating to the vehicle, as well as to cooperate actively with the Seller in order to transfer the title to the vehicle to the Seller (or to any other party named by the latter), delivering any required documents, after duly signing them.
The return shall be deemed correctly completed only subject to the condition that the Purchaser complies with all the obligations set out in this Article 4.5, letters a) and b).
4.6 - At the time of return, the vehicle will be subject to special checks to assess its condition; a special report will be drawn up, which will include the number of kilometres covered by the vehicle and a description of any damage to it, with a specific indication of the disbursements required to repair the damage or in any case restore the vehicle (parts and labour). The substantial integrity of the vehicle is an essential condition for the exercise of the right to withdraw, bearing in mind that it is in any case sufficient that the goods are returned in a normal state of preservation, as long as they were kept and possibly used with the usual degree of diligence. Any sums required to repair damage to the motorbike or in any case restore the vehicle shall be borne by the Purchaser and shall be deducted from the sums returned to him pursuant to Art. 4.7. The Purchaser shall only be liable for any reduction in the value of the vehicle resulting from any tampering of the vehicle other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. In this regard, the Seller shall be entitled to deduct from the sum to be returned following withdrawal, by way of fair compensation, € 5 for each kilometre covered by the vehicle in excess of the total of 10 km travelled from the time of delivery of the vehicle to that of its return. It is in any case understood that, unless otherwise indicated by the Seller, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised if the Purchaser has covered more than 25 km.

The Purchaser acknowledges that any sums required to repair damage to the motorbike or otherwise restore the vehicle shall be deducted from the refund.
4.8 - Without prejudice to the preceding paragraph, the Seller is not obliged to reimburse additional costs if the Purchaser has expressly chosen a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of delivery offered by the Seller.

4.11 - In accordance with Article 59, paragraph 1, letter c) of the Consumer Code (Legislative Decree. 206/2005), the right of withdrawal is excluded, inter alia, when the purchase contract relates to a vehicle customised to the Purchaser 's specific requirements.
5.1 - Delivery dates and deadlines must always be set in writing. The delivery term begins with the conclusion of the purchase contract.
5.2 - Without prejudice to the provisions of clause 5.6 relating to force majeure, the Purchaser may request immediate delivery of the vehicle once 90 days have elapsed since the date or deadline for delivery, as stated in the contract entered by the Seller and the Purchaser, and without prejudice to the provisions of clause 5.3 below. Upon receipt of such notice, the Seller shall be deemed to be in default. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 1229 of the Civil Code, the Purchaser's right to compensation for damages for any default by the Seller is limited to a maximum of 5% of the agreed purchase price.
5.3 - After the expiry of the period referred to in Article 5.2, the Purchaser is nevertheless obliged to allow the Seller a reasonable period of time to make the delivery before seeking termination. If, instead of performance, the Purchaser claims termination of the contract and damages, the latter shall be limited to a maximum of 15% of the purchase price in the event of slight negligence. If the Purchaser is a company or body or a professional person who enters into the purchase agreement in the course of his business or self-employed activity, he shall not be entitled to claim compensation for damage caused by the Seller through slight negligence. If, when the Seller is already in arrears with delivery, delivery becomes impossible due to unforeseeable circumstances, compensation for damages shall be limited as provided above. The Seller shall not be liable if the damage would have occurred in any event in the event of timely delivery.
5.4 - The limitations of liability provided for in this article shall not apply in the event of damage to life, limb or health.
5.5 - If the Seller fails to comply with binding delivery terms, dates or terms, it shall be deemed to be in default if such terms, dates or terms have expired. In this case, the Purchaser may assert the rights set out in paragraphs 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4.
5.6 - In the event of force majeure or other events affecting the business activities of the Seller or its suppliers and such as to prevent the Seller from providing - temporarily and through no fault of its own - timely delivery of the purchased products, the terms and dates referred to in this Article paragraphs 5.2 to 5.5 shall be suspended for the duration of such events. If such events result in an interruption of more than four months, the Purchaser shall be entitled to withdraw from this purchase agreement. This clause does not affect other cases of withdrawal.
5.7 - Provided that they are reasonable for the Purchaser and taking into account the interests of the Seller, any changes in design or model, changes in colour or changes in the delivery block made by the manufacturer within the delivery period shall not give rise to withdrawal or termination, nor shall they constitute a breach of contract.

Unless otherwise provided by law in the case of sale to the customer, if a defect is discovered within 6 months after delivery, it shall be assumed that it existed at the time of delivery of the vehicle, unless the type of defect is such as to exclude this assumption. Limited to the Purchaser 's right to seek remedy for any defect, this assumption shall also apply if the defect occurs for the first time during the second year following delivery.
8.2 - The Purchaser shall have no claim if the defect or damage is attributable to the common use of the vehicle or to the fact that:
(a) the Purchaser did not timely notify the defect after its discovery;
