Article 11 – Payment
Payment is due with the order. Payments will be made by credit card; they will be made via a secure system using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol, so that information transmitted is encrypted by software and cannot be read by any third party during transport on the network.

Article 12 – Personal information
SPL EVA is committed to protecting its customers’ personal data. The data collected by SPL EVA at the time of any customer order is necessary for the management of the transaction and for this reason, can be communicated in whole or in part to the service providers of SPL EVA intervening within the framework of the execution of the order. Consumers have the right to access, modify, rectify and delete data concerning them.
