You, as a consumer, have the statutory right to withdraw from the contract of sale within 14 (fourteen) calendar days from the date you acquire – or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires – physical possession of the Product(s), without giving any reason. However, we want our customers to be satisfied with the Product(s) purchased; therefore – in addition, and without prejudice to the statutory right of withdrawal mentioned above – we are willing to grant you an extended contractual right of withdrawal from the contract of sale within 30 (thirty) calendar days, without giving any reason. This extended withdrawal period will expire after 30 (thirty) calendar days from the date you acquire – or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires – physical possession of the Product(s).

You may use the model withdrawal form attached, but it is not mandatory. We will send you a confirmation of receipt of the withdrawal without delay on a durable medium (e.g., by email or chat). To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

You will then have to return the Product(s) without undue delay and, in any event, not later than 30 (thirty) calendar days after the date on which you notified your decision to withdraw from the contract of sale. The deadline is met if you send back the Product(s) before the period of 30 (thirty) calendar days has expired.

Please treat the Product(s) with reasonable care and return them in the condition that they were delivered to you. Please pack the Product(s) securely and make sure that your order number is clearly visible on the outside of the parcel.

As a consequence of the exercise of your right of withdrawal, we will refund all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and, in any case, within 14 (fourteen) calendar days of receipt of our receiving the Product(s) back or of your suppling evidence that you have sent back the Product(s), whichever is the earliest. The refund will be confirmed by email. Refund will be carried out using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. In any event, you will not incur any fees because of such refund.

In case of withdrawal, you will be solely liable for any diminished value of the Product(s) resulting from your handling of the Product(s) other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and proper functioning of the Product(s). In this case, we reserve the right either to reject your return and decline to refund or to deduct from those payments to be refunded to you reasonable repair or other similar direct costs that we have incurred, subject to applicable law.

11) LEGAL WARRANTY

We encourage you to examine the delivery package and received Product(s) after they are delivered to you and check their condition and that the content of the delivery package is conforming and complete. In case of damaged or missing Product(s), you can contact our support service at [email protected].

All purchased Product(s) are covered by a legal warranty of conformity in case of conformity defects existing at the time of delivery and that become apparent within 2 (two) years from that moment. Unless the relevant defects have been fraudulently concealed by the Company, you may assert the conformity defects within 26 (twenty-six) months from the date of delivery.

In the event of a conformity defect, you have the right to (i) have the defective Product(s) conformity restored or (ii) receive a proportional reduction of the price paid or (iii) terminate the contract of sale.

Under point (i) above, you may choose between repairing and replacing the Product(s) – free of charge, within a reasonable period after we have been informed by you of the lack of conformity, and without considerable inconveniences to you, considering the nature of the Product(s) and the purpose for which you wanted the Product(s) – unless the remedy chosen is impossible or, compared to the alternative remedy, it imposes excessive costs on us, considering all the circumstances and, in particular, (a) the value that the Product(s) would have in the absence of the conformity defect, (b) the extent of the lack of conformity, and (c) the possibility to pursue the alternative remedy without significant inconvenience to you. In case of repair or replacement, you must make the Product(s) available to us. We will collect the replaced Product(s) at our expenses. You are not obliged to pay for the normal use of the replaced Product(s) in the period prior to replacement. We may refuse to bring the defective Product(s) into conformity if the repair or replacement is impossible or the costs which we should bear are excessive, considering all the circumstances, including points (a) and (b) above.

Under points (ii) and (iii) above, you have the right to a proportional price reduction or terminate the contract of sale if: (a) the Company did not repair or replace the defective Product(s) or we did not repair or replace the defective Product(s), where possible, under Article 135-ter, paragraphs 1, 2, and 3, or we refused to restore the Product(s) conformity under paragraph 3; (b) a conformity defect occurs despite our attempt to restore the defective Product(s) conformity; (c) the conformity defect is so serious as to justify the immediate price reduction or the contract termination; or (d) the Company declared or it is clear from the circumstances that we will not restore the defective Product(s) conformity within a reasonable period or without considerable inconveniences to you. You have not the right to terminate the contract if the conformity defect is only of minor importance.

You should exercise the right to terminate the contract through a direct statement to us including your willingness to terminate the contract. If the lack of conformity only concerns some of the Product(s) delivered under the contract and there is a cause for contract termination pursuant to Article 135-bis, you may terminate the contract only in respect of the non-conforming Product(s) and those purchased together with the non-conforming Products unless your interest to maintain the non-defective Product(s) is reasonably presumed. In case of termination, (i) you must return the Product(s) to us at our expense, and (ii) the Company will refund to you the price paid for the Product(s) upon receipt of the Product(s) or of evidence provided by you that you have returned or dispatched the Product(s).

You have the right to refuse to perform any payments under the contract until the Company has complied with their obligations under this section 11).
