9. PURCHASE PROCEDURE
Only products displayed on the website at the address www.forcetek.it at the time the order is placed, and as described in the relative information sheets can be purchased. Please be aware that the image placed next to the description of a product may not be an exact representation of its specifications: measurements, shapes and colours may differ from that shown in the photograph and in the description, without compromising its look, function and quality.
Products aimed at state institutions such as Army, Police, Carabinieri, Fire Brigade, Guardia di Finanza and Air Force may be purchased only after registration and identification via mail including official ID attesting that the purchaser is currently engaged by one of the aforementioned state institutions and for these products they will benefit from individual pricing.
If the customer is interested in some particular features of a product, it is the customer's responsibility to contact us before placing the Order to ensure that the chosen product actually possesses those features.
Successful receipt of an order is confirmed by the Vendor to the Customer via an email sent to the email address provided by the Customer at the time of purchase. This confirmation email shall include:
a) all details entered by the Customer (name, surname, address, email address, etc.);
b) date order was received;
c) Product description (specifications, colour, dimensions, price, etc.)
d) "Order Number" to be quoted in any later correspondence with the Vendor;
The Customer must then verify the accuracy of their order and communicate any inaccuracies immediately in writing to shop@forcetek.it
You can check the progress of your Order by accessing your Account and going to "My Orders"
Orders may be cancelled up to the moment the Customer receives the email stating that the item has been shipped. We will deduct 10% of the order price to cover administrative, logistics and operating costs.

An Order cannot be cancelled or modified for any reason whatsoever once it is marked "Shipped". Your Right to Cancel notwithstanding, orders for custom or bespoke products can NEVER be cancelled.
Once an order has been received, we will check it to ensure it is acceptable. In the event that it is not accepted, we will communicate this immediately to the Customer. All prices quoted on the website are intended as public prices and therefore include VAT, except where the chosen destination country lies outside the EU.
By purchasing one or more items belonging to the Esercito, Polizia, Carabinieri, Vigili del Fuoco, Guardia di Finanza and Aeronautica ranges, the purchaser takes full responsibility for the purchased items and the purpose for which they are destined. Where two complete sets are purchased, delivery will be made to a place of work.
