The Agreement shall be considered (both in the cases under sections 5.7 and 5.8) conditional upon the circumstances indicated under points (a) and (b) of this section 5.9.
Therefore, should Ivo Milan verify, within the term specified above, (i) that no Products (or only some of the Products) are available in stock, or (ii) (only for the cases of payment by bank transfer) that the Price has not been credited to Ivo Milan’s current account, the Agreement shall be considered ineffective and this circumstance shall be notified to the User promptly (and in any case within the above-mentioned term), by email to the Email Address.
