Product Selection

Therefore WAPI cannot guarantee and is not responsible for the suitability of the product for technical applications required by the consumer, nor the full range or part of the objects aimed for in making the purchase. WAPI attempts to illustrate and describe as accurately as possible the colours of the products that appear on its web site and in the quotations provided to customers, but cannot guarantee that the colours of the products delivered exactly match the colours that are displayed on the customer's monitor. Products purchased by customers may be displayed on Wapi's website for advertising purposes only.
Acceptance of Orders
Products distributed by WAPI are meant for advertising and/or promotional use. For any other uses, WAPI disclaims any liability and/or penalty it may incur due to the use by third parties for purposes other than those stated here.
All orders must be confirmed via the website or email.
All requests for samples or other similar and related requests will have to be carefully analyzed and validated by WAPI.
The minimum order value is of 60.00 € (Thirty euros) plus the value of transport and VAT legal rate. The minimum purchase value of a product with customization is 100 € (one hundred and fifty euros) plus transportation value and VAT legal rate.
No order will be considered as approved by Wapi until the latter confirms it unconditionally in the order confirmation. Wapi reserves the right to refuse any order without the obligation to state its reasons. If your offer is not approved and any payment has been made into their account, the full amount will be refunded to you.
In the event of a temporary stock outage WAPI will contact the Consumer directly and agree on a resolution agreed upon between the parties.
The Customer can customize each product with an image, logo or text. Should you wish to customize a product with your logo or an image, it is your obligation to provide the material in a reproducible format that is, according to Wapi's discretion, of good quality. Wapi strives to illustrate and describe as accurately as possible the result of the customisation in its quotes and in the proof/print mock-up, in such a way that it acts as proof for the customer to express its compliance.
Each order that includes customisation is checked by Wapi and/or its suppliers. Wapi reserves the right to adapt the customisation designs if the printing process so requires. In this case, Wapi will send a final proof by email to the customer to request compliance.
There may be slight differences between the printed products and the proof that is shown on the screen or emailed to the customer, not strictly related to shades, logos or dimensions, without this being classified as a defect by Wapi.
