11.5 The Seller offers you the possibility to fill out and send a Model Withdrawal Form electronically following the guided procedure made available on the Website.

11.6 Should you exercise your right of withdrawal, the Product must be sent to our head offices as indicated in the present General Conditions of Sale.

Reimbursement shall be made using the same methods as per the initial payment. If you have returned the Products using a courier of your choice and at your expense, the Seller may withhold reimbursement until the Products have been received or until you are able to provide proof of shipment of the Products, whichever comes first.

11.9 You are solely responsible for any decrease in the value of the Products as a result of having handled the Product in a different way from that necessary to establish the nature, the characteristics and functioning of the Product. The product must be kept, handled or inspected with due care and diligence and returned intact, complete in all its parts, and in perfect working order, with all accessories and instruction leaflets, as well as identification leaflets, labels and single-use seal, where present, still attached to the Product, intact and untampered with, as well as being perfectly suitable for the use for which it was intended and lacking signs of wear and tear. Withdrawal, furthermore, applies to the Product in its entirety. It cannot be applied in relation to Product parts and/or accessories.

11.10 In cases where the Product for which right of withdrawal has been exercised, has undergone a reduction in value, resulting from the handling of the goods in a manner other than that which is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Product, the Seller reserves the right to reduce reimbursement by an amount equal to the reduction in value. These circumstances and subsequent reduced reimbursement will be communicated by the Seller upon receipt of the Product, and, if reimbursement has already been made, supplying bank details for the payment of the amount due by the User as a result of the reduction in value of the Product.

11.11 Should right of withdrawal not be exercised as laid down in the applicable laws, it shall not lead to the termination of the contract, and, as a result, will not entitle you to any reimbursement. The Seller will inform the Buyer from receipt of the Product, and reject the withdrawal request. The Seller will keep the Product available to be picked up, which shall take place at Buyer’s own expense and responsibility.

11.12 In the event that one of the legal hypotheses apply, and the right to withdraw is not applicable, this exclusion shall be specifically and expressly communicated to the Website.

11.13 the amount of delivery expenses to be reimbursed to you will be calculated in proportion to the value of the Product returned. Therefore, if for example, you have placed an order amounting to 200 Euros, which includes two Products, the first of the value of 50 Euros and the second 150 Euros, and you return the Product worth 150 Euros, you will be refunded an amount equal to 75% of the shipping costs. In any case, the amount of delivery costs to be returned shall never exceed the actual price paid.

Art. 12. Legal Guarantee

All Products sold on the Website are covered by a Legal Guarantee of Conformity provided in Articles 128-135 of the Consumer Code (Legal Guarantee).

To whom the directive should apply

The Legal Guarantee is reserved for consumers. It may, therefore, be applicable only for those users who have made a purchase on the Website for purposes other than the business, trade, craft or profession they may perform.

When it applies

The Seller is liable to the consumer for any lack of conformity in the Product that occur within two years from date of delivery. Lack of conformity must be reported to the Seller, under penalty of forfeiture of the guarantee, within two months from the date it was discovered.

Subject to proof to the contrary, it shall be presumed that any non-conformity that appears within six months from the delivery date of the Product already existed on that date, unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the Product or the nature of the conformity defect. From the seventh month following the delivery of the Product, the Buyer shall bear the burden of proving that the conformity defect already existed at the time of delivery of said Product.

In order to be able to benefit from the Legal Guarantee, the Buyer shall first and foremost supply proof of purchase and delivery of the goods. It is advisable therefore, that the Buyer, for the purposes of such proof, keep the purchase invoice, or any other document that can serve as proof of purchase (for example, credit card statement) and the date of delivery.

In the case of termination of contract, the Seller shall reimburse the Buyer by returning the whole amount paid, comprising the Product purchase price, shipping costs and any other additional costs. In the event of price reductions, the Seller shall return the amount of the reduction, previously agreed upon with the consumer. The refund or reduction shall be made using the same method or means of payment used by the Buyer for the purchase.

The Seller is not responsible for damage, of any kind, resulting from improper use of the Product, and/or contrary to the instructions supplied by the manufacturer and as a result of damage caused by accident or force majeure.

If the purchase was made by you as a “professional” according to the provisions laid down in the Consumer Code, the preceding paragraphs of this article do not apply. Upon its purchase from the Website the legal guarantee as provided for in art. 1490 c.c. shall apply.

Art. 13. Manufacturer’s standard guarantee

13.1 Products sold on the Website, depending on their type or nature, may be covered by the manufacturer’s standard limited guarantee (Standard Guarantee). Claims under this guarantee may only be made against the manufacturer. The duration, territorial scope, conditions and usage, the type of damage/defects covered and the possible limitations in the Standard Guarantee depend on each single manufacturer. The Standard Guarantee is voluntary and shall not limit, prejudice nor exclude the Legal Guarantee.

Art. 14. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction; out-of-court dispute settlements - Alternative Dispute Resolution/Online Dispute Resolution

In the case of a professional user, on the other hand, for any dispute relating to the application, execution and interpretation of this document, the Court where the Seller has registered offices, shall have jurisdiction pursuant to the provisions of Article 1 above.

14.3 Pursuant to art. 141-sexies, paragraph 3 of the Consumer Code, the Seller informs the User in his/her status as a consumer as per art. 3 comma 1, lett. A) of the Consumer Code, that, should he/she have lodged a complaint directly to the Seller, as a result of which, however, it was not possible to resolve the dispute, the Seller will provide information, regarding the Alternative Dispute Resolution body or bodies, for an out-of-court settlement of disputes relating to obligations arising from a contract concluded under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale (ADR bodies, as referred to in Articles 141-bis et seq. Consumer Code), stating whether or not it intends to use such bodies to resolve the dispute.

14.4 The Seller also informs the user who qualifies as a consumer under Article 3(1)(a) of the Consumer Code, that a European platform for the online resolution of consumer disputes (the so-called ODR platform) has been established. The ODR platform can be accessed at the following address http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/; through the ODR platform, the consumer-user will be able to consult the list of ADR entities, find a website link for each of them, and initiate an online resolution procedure for the dispute in which he or she is involved.

14.5 In any case the consumer user’s right to bring the dispute arising from these General Terms and Conditions of Sale before the competent ordinary court of law, is without prejudice, whatever the outcome of 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.
