Terms & Conditions

1. PREAMBLE

1.1. These general conditions of use (hereinafter “GENERAL CONDITIONS”) govern the obligations, rights, methods of access and conditions of use of the video call Service called “ShopCall” (hereinafter “SERVICE”) that Shopcall s.r.l. (hereinafter “Shopcall”) offers its users upon registration on the Website www.shopcall.io (hereinafter “Website”) and assigning of an account. 1.2. The Website consists of several web pages managed by Shopcall. All the content on the website or made available for viewing by the Website is the property of Shopcall and/or its suppliers. 1.3. The SERVICE is offered to the user on the condition that the user accepts these GENERAL CONDITIONS, without modification, and explicitly confirms such acceptance by clicking on the “ACCEPT” button during the activation of the service. 1.4. These General Terms and Conditions are published and rendered applicable on the website https://www.shopcall.io.

2. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SERVICE

2.1. The SERVICE allows the user, registered as indicated in article […], to activate his or her own “digital contact point”. Users of the Service can configure their own digital contact point by obtaining a public link that they can share and send to their contacts. Once the link is activated, the Service manages the call request and the call itself, intended as an audio-video stream of data transmitted through the browser connected to the Internet. 2.2. Shopcall reserves the right, for the future, to modify the range of services offered through the Website, undertaking, to this end, to inform all users, using adequate information tools (such as, for example, e-mails or advertisements), of any new opportunities offered by Shopcall through the use of the SERVICE. 2.3. Shopcall does not control communications between users and is therefore in no way responsible for their content. 2.4. The content and materials shared in the video calls transmitted between users may be subject to limitations regarding their use, reproduction and/or diffusion. Compliance with these limitations, as well as with any other rule of law, is the sole responsibility of the user. 2.5. The methods for activating communication and video calling are subject to the capacity and availability of the server that Shopcall uses to provide the SERVICE. The user acknowledges that Shopcall is not responsible for any delays in the transmission of the audio-video stream of video calls.

3. MEANS OF ACCESS TO SERVICES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE USER

3.1. This contract shall be concluded and shall be deemed to be finalised on the date of registration on the website. 3.2. After the conclusion of the contract, Shopcall will open an account directly referable to the user and will provide the user, by means of an e-mail message sent to the e-mail address indicated by the user during registration, with the credentials to access the aforementioned account. 3.3. The username and password are strictly personal and confidential; the user therefore undertakes to exercise maximum diligence in the safekeeping of the account username and password. Under no circumstances may the user communicate, transfer or in any way make available the username and password of his/her account to third parties. Shopcall declines all responsibility for the lack of diligence, prudence or inexperience on the part of the user in the safekeeping of the access credentials (username and password), or in the event of communication, transfer to third parties or even fraudulent removal of the same. Any disclosure by the user of the username and password of his/her account, or any use by third parties of the Service with the user’s credentials, will entitle Shopcall to legally terminate this contract and, consequently, to delete registration; in such cases, the user shall not be entitled to any kind of reimbursement, and shall be obliged to pay the costs and/or compensation due for any damage caused by unauthorised use of the user’s account. 3.4. The user undertakes to ensure his or her personal account is always up to date, complete and accurate; this obligation must be fulfilled by the user by connecting to the Website, accessing his/her personal area and entering any changes to his/her personal data subsequent to the registration phase (e.g. changes of address, credit card number or credit card expiry date). If Shopcall becomes aware that the user’s data have not been updated, Shopcall shall have the right to suspend the provision of the SERVICE immediately and without prior notice until the data have been updated; in this case, the user shall not be entitled to any kind of reimbursement, and shall remain obliged to pay any compensation and costs caused by unauthorised use. 3.5. The user, assuming all civil and criminal liability, guarantees that s/he is aged 18 or over, and that all the information transmitted (including, for example, the tax code) is true and accurate. The user undertakes to check the mailbox indicated during registration at least once a week, to ensure that there are no communications from Shopcall. The user undertakes to pay the costs of the SERVICE at the dates determined according to the payment method chosen. 3.7. The user is solely responsible for all activities that are carried out in his/her account. 3.8. The user undertakes to notify Shopcall immediately of any unauthorised use of his or her account by a third party or of any event indicating such unauthorised use. 3.9. The user shall also be liable for any loss or damage of any kind suffered by Shopcall as a result of the use of the user’s account by another person. 3.10. If Shopcall verifies that the user’s data are incorrect or have not been updated, Shopcall shall have the right to suspend the provision of the SERVICE until the data have been updated. In such cases, the user shall not be entitled to any kind of reimbursement and shall remain obliged to pay the damages and costs caused by unauthorised use [as set out at point 3.3.] 3.11. In the event of temporary blockage of the website and/or the Service for updating and/or maintenance work carried out by Shopcall and/or its suppliers, Shopcall shall promptly inform the user of such work by sending an e-mail to the address indicated by the user or by displaying specific information notices on the website. If the blockage of the Service and/or the website lasts for more than 15 days, Shopcall may grant the user a corresponding number of free days of use of the Service.

4. SERVICE ACTIVATION AND PAYMENT METHODS

4.1. The SERVICE is offered to the user subject to registration on the website and on the condition that payment is made at the dates determined according to the payment method chosen and the subscription period (e.g. monthly, half-yearly or yearly), unless Shopcall has provided the Service free of charge for a specific period of time and subject to specific conditions (such as free trial periods). 4.2. The costs and related conditions and payment terms of the SERVICE are contained in the attached form “COSTS OF THE SERVICE”. 4.3. The costs of the SERVICE are net of VAT, unless otherwise specified.

5. MODIFICATION OF THE CONDITIONS OF USE

5.1. During the course of the contractual relationship, Shopcall reserves the right to unilaterally modify the conditions, terms of use and costs of the SERVICE as well as the General Conditions, at any time, for the following reasons:
  • (i) technical, management and economic requirements of a general nature that may emerge, such as, for example, technical modernisation of the network and of the production or marketing structures;
  • (ii) changes to the regulatory framework affecting the economic balance and/or technical and management aspects of the Service and/or unforeseeable changes in the structural conditions of the market;
  • (iii) changes to the methods and terms of activation and deactivation of the Service and updates made necessary in order to ensure the correct use of the same in the light of the evolution of traffic profiles contrary to the lawful and personal use of the Service as regulated in relation to abusive and/or fraudulent phenomena.
In all the above-mentioned cases, the Customer has the right to withdraw from the supply contract free of charge, by sending a PEC registered e-mail to the PEC address Shopcall@legalmail.it within 15 days of delivery of the communication. 5.2. These changes will be notified by Shopcall by a PEC registered e-mail sent to the PEC address provided at the time of registration and will become effective vis-à-vis the user 15 days after the sending of said notification, unless the user exercises his/her right to withdraw from the Service supply contract free of charge. If, after 15 days, the Customer has not requested such withdrawal, the contract shall continue under the new conditions.
