Purchases
According to Article 3, paragraph I, sub-paragraph a) of Legislative Decree 206/2005 (the “Consumer Code”), Consumers are defined as natural persons who, in the purchase of the Services, act for purposes not related to commercial activities. Natural persons may only purchase the Services if they have reached the age of eighteen. Ovation undertakes to describe and to present the Services and the Application to the best of its abilities. Nonetheless, some mistakes, inaccuracies or minor differences may occur.
In addition, any picture of the Application and of the Services which may be found on the purchasing website does not constitute a contractual element, but merely provides a visual representation of the Application and of the Services.
The User expressly confers to Ovation the right to accept the order only in part (for example if not all of the ordered Applications and Services are available). In this case, the contract will only be completed with regard to the Applications and Services which are actually sold.
Ovation has the right to refuse an order:
-
- when the Application or Service is not available;
-
- when it is denied the authorization to charge the User with the cost of the Application or of the Service;
- when, at the time of purchase, the price displayed is obviously incorrect and is recognisable as such. In such case, the User will be contacted by the Customer Service to be informed of the situation and will be refunded the amount charged.

VAT is only applied to European customers who do not have a VAT number registered with VIES and to all Italian customers, as we invoice from Italy. The User undertakes to pay the price in the times and methods indicated at the time of purchase and to communicate all the necessary data. The purchasing process makes use of payment services provided by third-party and Ovation does not receive nor process any payment details provided by Users (credit card number, name of cardholder, pin, etc.). In the event that the above third-party payment services refuse to authorize a payment, the purchasing order will be also refused.

VAT Adjustment and Pre-Authorization of Payments

The user authorizes Ovation to modify the pre-authorized subscription amount to reflect any change in the VAT rate.Ovation is authorized to make these adjustments and to charge the corresponding amount without the need for further approvals or notifications to the user. However, the user will be informed of the price variation in the billing following the adjustment.The user is responsible for keeping their locality information up to date through the website or other means provided by Ovation. Ovation is not responsible for any billing discrepancies due to outdated or inaccurate information provided by the user. This authorization remains in effect until the conclusion of the service or until the user expressly revokes such consent in accordance with the terms of service.
-
Billing

After that, the User must purchase a new Application or Service.It is possible to upgrade between subscriptions of the same Application and Service by paying the difference of price. Downgrading is not possible.Subscriptions may have a quantity purchase limit per single order to prevent the erroneous multiple purchases of subscriptions by a user. This measure is intended to prevent confusion and ensure that each user purchases only the subscription necessary for their use.
-
Access and Modification Restrictions for Invalid or Expired Subscriptions
In the event that a subscription to an Application or Service is expired, or the credentials used to prove the purchase are not entered correctly, or they are deemed invalid, the user’s access to Applications or Services, and/or ability to make modifications to Application may be entirely restricted. This restriction will not affect the operational functionality on the front-end of the user’s site but will prevent any alterations to the Application’s or Service’s settings or features.
