The contracts concluded between the Vendor and the Customer, where the latter assumes the status of final consumer (i.e. in the event that the Customer makes purchases on the Site for purposes not related to his professional or entrepreneurial activity, or where he does not request invoicing to a person with a VAT number), are governed by Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25/10/2011 and by Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25/05/1999.

2. PRODUCTS
2.1 The customer may only purchase the products available in the virtual shop on the Website. The availability of the products on the site at the time the order is concluded is approximative: at the same time purchases may be made by other customers concluding the process earlier, thus making the selected products unavailable.

The reference code of the gift card or gift voucher shall be communicated at the time of booking and use. In the event that the final bill exceeds the value of the gift card or gift voucher, the difference shall be paid. In the event that the final bill is less than the value of the gift card or gift voucher, the difference shall be compensated for by a voucher to be used at the restaurant.
