TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

Product description

Prices, descriptions and availability of the Products are specified in the respective sections of this Web Site and may be changed by the Owner at its own discretion to the exclusion of pending orders. Although the Products on this Web Site are presented as accurately as technically possible, the representation on this Web Site by any means (including, as the case may be, graphics, images, colours, sounds) is intended as a mere reference and does not imply any guarantee as to the characteristics of the Product purchased. The characteristics of the selected Product will be specified during the purchase procedure.

Purchase procedure

Each step, from the selection of the product to the placing of the order, is part of the purchase procedure. The purchase procedure comprises the following steps:

– Users are requested to choose the desired Product and to check their purchase choice.

– After checking the information visible in the purchase choice, Users can place their order by placing it.

Placing an order

– Sending the order entails the following: The submission of the order by the User determines the conclusion of the contract and gives rise to the User’s obligation to pay the price, taxes and any additional charges and expenses, as specified on the order page.

– In the event that the Product purchased requires an active contribution from the User, such as the provision of information or personal data, specifications or special requests, the placing of the order also creates an obligation on the part of the User to cooperate accordingly.

– Once the order has been placed, Users will be sent a confirmation of receipt of the order. All notifications relating to the purchase procedure described above will be sent to the e-mail address provided by the User for this purpose.

Prices

During the purchase procedure and before placing the order, Users are duly informed of all commissions, taxes and costs (including any shipping costs) that will be charged to them. The prices on this Web Site do not include all applicable commissions, taxes and costs.

Means of payment

Details of the accepted means of payment are highlighted during the purchase process. Some means of payment are subject to further conditions or involve additional costs.

Therefore, this Web Site does not collect payment data – such as credit card numbers – but receives a notification once the payment is successful.

Any costs or fees arising from the failed or rejected payment shall be borne by the User.

Non-delivery

The Owner shall not be liable in any way for any delivery errors resulting from inaccuracies or omissions committed by the User in the completion of the purchase order, nor for any damages or delays occurring after delivery to the courier if the latter has been appointed by the User. In the event that the goods are not delivered or collected at the agreed time or within the agreed period, they will be returned to the Owner, who will contact the User to schedule a second delivery attempt or agree further arrangements.

USER RIGHTS

Right of withdrawal

Unless an exception applies, the User has the right to withdraw from the contract within the period specified below (normally 14 days) for any reason and without justification. The User can find further information on the right of withdrawal in this section.

Who has the right of withdrawal

Unless one of the exceptions listed below applies, Users acting as European Consumers enjoy by law the right to withdraw from contracts concluded online (distance contracts) within the time period specified below for any reason and without justification. Users who do not fulfil these requirements do not enjoy the rights described in this section.

Exercise of the right of withdrawal

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the User must send the Controller an unequivocal communication of his intention to withdraw from the contract. For this purpose, the User may use the standard withdrawal form available in the definitions section of this document. However, the User is free to express his intention to withdraw from the contract in any other suitable form. In order to respect the period within which the right must be exercised, the User must send the withdrawal declaration before the withdrawal period expires.

When does the withdrawal period expire?

In the case of the purchase of goods, the withdrawal period expires after 14 days from the day on which the User or a third party – appointed by the User and other than the courier – takes possession of the goods. In the case of the purchase of several goods ordered together but delivered separately, or in the case of the purchase of a single good consisting of several lots or pieces delivered separately, the withdrawal period expires after 14 days from the day on which the User or a third party – appointed by him/her and other than the courier – takes possession of the last of the goods, lots or pieces.

Effects of withdrawal

The Holder shall refund all payments received including, if any, those relating to delivery costs to Users who have correctly exercised their right of withdrawal. However, the higher cost resulting from the choice of a particular delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by the Holder shall remain the User’s responsibility. Reimbursement shall take place without undue delay and in any event within 14 days from the day on which the Holder was informed of the User’s decision to withdraw from the contract. Unless otherwise agreed with the User, the refund is made using the same means of payment as was used for the initial transaction. The User shall not incur any costs as a consequence of the withdrawal.

On contracts for the purchase of goods

Unless the Holder has offered to collect the goods, the User is obliged to return them to the Holder or to another person authorised by the Holder to receive them without undue delay and in any event within 14 days from the day on which he communicated his intention to withdraw from the contract. The deadline is met if the delivery of the goods to the carrier or other authorised person takes place before the expiry of the 14-day period described above. The refund may be withheld until receipt of the goods or until the User has provided proof of return. The User shall be liable for any decrease in the value of the goods resulting from use of the goods other than what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning.

The User shall bear the return shipping costs.

Legal guarantee of conformity of the Product

According to European legislation, the seller guarantees the conformity of the goods sold for a minimum period of 2 years from delivery. Therefore, the seller is obliged to guarantee that the goods purchased have the quality, functionality or characteristics promised or reasonably foreseeable for at least two years from the moment of delivery to the buyer.
