Art. 1 Scope

It is recalled that the quality of consumer is the natural person acting for purposes unrelated to the business, commercial, professional or craft eventually carried out. If, however, is given the opportunity to enter the VAT number (his or that of a legal person), this implies a purchase by way of "Professional", pursuant to art. 3, paragraph I, letter. c) of the Consumer Code. The quality of Professional is the natural person or legal entity acting in the exercise of its business, commercial, craft or professional activity, or its intermediary. The implications of buying as a Consumer rather than as a Professional will be described later in this document.

Therefore, when either the Seller's trade name or the first person plural ("We") is used on the Site and/or in customer communications pertaining to the Site, the reference is to the Seller in addition to the Site.

3.2 On the Site information on Product availability is available. The availability of Products is continuously monitored and updated. However, since the Site may be visited by several users at the same time, it may happen that several users purchase the same Product at the same time. In such cases, therefore, the Product may be available for a short period of time, but it may be out of stock or not immediately available and it may be necessary to wait for restocking.
3.3 You will be informed in case of unavailability of the ordered Product. In this case you will be entitled to terminate the purchase contract. However, please note that before requesting the termination of the contract, the Seller reserves the right to implement these measures:

4.5 The Seller will only dispatch the Products once it has received confirmation of authorisation for payment or credit of the Total Amount Due. Title to the Products will pass to you on dispatch, which will be deemed to be the time when the Product is handed over to the carrier.

4.6 The purchase contract shall be terminated if you fail to pay the Total Amount Due. Unless otherwise agreed in writing with you, the order will be cancelled accordingly.

5.2 You may purchase via payment cards on the Site. The charge will be made only after (i) the data of Your payment card used for the payment have been verified and (ii) the issuer of the payment card used by You has issued the authorization to charge. In application of Directive 2015/2366/ (EU) on payment services in the internal market (PSD2), you are informed that you may be required to complete the purchase process by meeting the authentication criteria required by the payment institution in charge of handling the online payment transaction. The authentication criteria refer to the identity of the user (to meet this criterion the user must be registered on the Site during the purchase transaction) and the contextual knowledge of the authentication code transmitted by the payment institution (Strong Customer Authentication). Failure to complete the procedure described above may make it impossible to finalize the purchase on the Site. The confidential data of the payment card (card number, holder, expiry date, security code) are encrypted and transmitted directly to the payment manager without passing through the servers used by the Seller. The Seller therefore never has access to and does not store, not even if you choose to store such data on the Site, the data of your payment card used to pay for the Products. The payment cards accepted can be viewed in the footer of the Site and/or within the purchase process.

You may also make purchases on the Site using Klarna's installment payment solution. The first payment is charged at the time of shipment of the order itself and/or at the time of conclusion of the purchase contract, while subsequent payments are charged every 30 days from the first charge, unless otherwise indicated on the Site or by the payment service provider (Klarna).

6.3 Delivery time of the Products from the sending of the order:7 days.
6.4 The term indicated in art. 6.3 is to be intended as indicative and not peremptory. The Seller therefore reserves the right to deliver the Products within the term of 30 days from the sending of the order. It is up to you to check the condition of the Product delivered. Being understood that the risk of loss or damage of the Product, for causes not attributable to the Seller is transferred when you, or a third party appointed by you and different from the carrier, materially comes into possession of the Product, the Seller recommends you to check the number of Products received and that the packaging is intact, not damaged, not wet or otherwise altered, including the sealing materials and you are invited, in your interest, to indicate on the transport document of the carrier, any anomalies, accepting the package with reserve. In the event that the package presents obvious signs of tampering or alteration, it is appropriate to give prompt notice to the Seller.

Unless otherwise agreed, if you fail to fulfil your obligation to collect the Product, the purchase contract shall be deemed to be terminated pursuant to and for the purposes of article 1456 of the Italian Civil Code. As a result of the termination, the order will be cancelled and the Seller will proceed to refund the Total Amount Due paid by you, minus shipping costs. The mere failure to collect the Product shall not be construed as an exercise of the right of withdrawal, if any, and shall not entitle you to a full refund of the sums paid for the purchase of the Product.
6.6 You may choose Shop Pick-up as delivery method. In the event that you choose In-Store Collection, you will be able to collect the Product purchased at the point of sale ("Shop") selected by you among those eventually indicated on the Site as available for collection. As soon as the Product is ready for collection, the user will be informed to this effect by the Seller. The Product may be collected by the user during the opening hours and days of the Store. In order to collect the Product, the user or the user's delegate shall provide the staff of the Store with suitable documentation certifying the purchase.
Art. 7 Right of withdrawal
7.1 We invite the user to read with particular attention to this article, which governs the right of withdrawal.
7.2 The right of withdrawal is the right of the Consumer to terminate the purchase contract without being obliged to provide a reason. If you purchased as a Professional, the right of withdrawal does not apply, unless otherwise agreed with the Seller. Possible exceptions to the right of withdrawal are set out in this article 7. If there are no exceptions to the right of withdrawal, this article 7 is fully applicable. {esclusione-recesso}
7.3 If you are a Consumer (and if no exceptions apply) you have the right to cancel the contract for the purchase of the Product without giving any reason and without incurring costs other than those provided for in this article within a period of fourteen calendar days (Cooling-Off Period). To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform the Seller, before the expiry of the Withdrawal Period, of your decision to withdraw. To this end, you can write to the Seller at the contact details indicated in the Foreword, or use the contact form on the Site. You have exercised your right of withdrawal within the Withdrawal Period if notice of the exercise of your right of withdrawal is sent by you before the expiration of the Withdrawal Period. Unless otherwise agreed, the direct costs of returning the Products shall be borne by the Consumer, as well as the responsibility for the transportation of the same. In case of exercising the right of withdrawal, the Product must be delivered at the Seller's premises, or at the different address communicated by the Seller. The Withdrawal Period expires after 14 days:
in the case of an order for a single Product, from the day on which you or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by you, acquires physical possession of the Products;
in the case of a Multiple Order with separate deliveries, from the day on which you or a third party other than the carrier and nominated by you takes physical possession of the last Product; or
in the case of an order for delivery of a Product consisting of multiple lots or pieces, from the day on which you or a third party, other than the carrier and nominated by you, takes physical possession of the last lot or piece.
7.4 If the withdrawal is applicable, the Seller shall proceed to refund the Total Amount Due, including delivery costs, if applicable, without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 calendar days from the day on which the Seller was informed of the decision to withdraw from the contract. The refund will be made using the same payment instrument used for the initial transaction. In the event that the Products have been shipped using a carrier of the Consumer's choice and at the Consumer's expense, the Seller may suspend the refund until receipt of the Products or until the Consumer demonstrates that the Products have been returned, whichever is earlier. The Consumer is only responsible for the diminished value of the goods resulting from handling the Product in a manner different from that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Product. The Product must in any case be kept, handled and inspected with normal diligence and returned intact, complete in all its parts, fully functional, accompanied by all the accessories and illustrative sheets, with the identification tags, labels and disposable seal, where present, still attached to the Product and intact and not tampered with, as well as perfectly suitable for its intended use and without signs of wear or dirt. Moreover, the withdrawal is applied to the Product in its entirety. It cannot therefore be exercised in relation to parts and/or accessories of the Product. In the event that the Product for which the withdrawal has been exercised has suffered a decrease in value resulting from a handling of the goods other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and operation of the Product, the Seller reserves the right to deduct from the amount of the refund an amount equal to this decrease in value. The Seller will give notice of this circumstance and of the consequent decrease in the refund amount, providing, if the refund has already been paid, the bank details for the payment of the amount due by the user due to the decrease in value of the Product. In the event that the withdrawal has not been exercised in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, it will not result in the termination of the contract and, consequently, will not entitle the user to any refund.
If the right of withdrawal exists, the Products must be returned to the address indicated in the "Seller's Data" section in the Introduction or to the address communicated by the Seller from time to time.
7.5 This Article regulates a very important issue concerning the costs of return in the event of withdrawal.
In light of the provisions above, the Seller believes it appropriate to point out that the costs of returning the Product will be at your expense and under your responsibility.
Art. 8 Legal Warranty of Conformity
8.1 The Legal Guarantee of Conformity is reserved for the Consumer. It, therefore, applies only to users who have made a purchase on the Site for purposes unrelated to their entrepreneurial, commercial, craft or professional activity.

For refurbished/used products, you agree that the legal warranty of conformity provided by the Consumer Code is set at 12 months. Your consent is expressed by accepting these General Sales Conditions. This provision applies only if you have made the purchase as a Consumer.
8.3 Unless there is proof to the contrary, it shall be assumed that the lack of conformity that becomes apparent within twelve months from the delivery of the Product already existed on that date, unless such assumption is incompatible with the nature of the Product or the nature of the lack of conformity. Starting from the twelfth month following the delivery of the Product, it shall instead be the burden of the Consumer to prove that the lack of conformity already existed at the time of the delivery of the same.
8.4 In case of lack of conformity of the good, the consumer has the right to the restoration of conformity, or to receive a proportional reduction in price, or termination of the contract on the basis of conditions established by Art. 135-bis and following of the Consumer Code.
8.5 The Seller shall not be liable for damages, of any nature whatsoever, deriving from the use of the Product in an improper manner and/or not in compliance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer as well as in case of damages deriving from unforeseeable circumstances or force majeure.
8.6 If you made the purchase as a Professional, the previous paragraphs of this article do not apply. In this case the legal guarantee is governed by Art. 1490 et seq. of the Civil Code; namely, eventual defects shall be communicated until 8 days from the discovery and the legal action is expired after 1 year from the delivery.
Art. 9 Manufacturer's Warranty
The Manufacturer's Warranty is an additional warranty to the Legal Warranty of Conformity eventually provided by the Seller on the Products.

10.4 The Seller also informs the user who is a Consumer that a European platform for the online resolution of consumer disputes has been set up (the so-called ODR platform). The ODR platform can be consulted at the following address http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Through the ODR platform the consumer user can consult the list of ADR bodies, find the link to the website of each of them and initiate a procedure for the online resolution of the dispute in which he/she is involved.
10.5 In any case, the right of the consumer user to refer the dispute arising from these General Conditions of Sale to the competent ordinary judge, whatever the outcome of the procedure for the out-of-court settlement of disputes relating to consumer relations through recourse to the procedures referred to in Part V, Title II-bis of the Consumer Code, is not affected.
The user who resides in a member state of the European Union other than Italy, can also access, for any dispute relating to the application, execution and interpretation of these Terms and Conditions of Sale, the European procedure established for small claims, by Regulation (EC) No 861/2007 of the Council, 11 July 2007, provided that the value of the dispute does not exceed, excluding interest, fees and expenses, Euro 5,000.00.
