The Product sales contract is deemed concluded with the Owner's acceptance of the User's contractual proposal.  The Owner shall accept the User’s contractual proposal by sending the order confirmation to the e-mail supplied by the User. This proposal will list the details of the order, the User's details, the characteristics and availability of the Product, the price or means of calculating the price, any further charges and additional taxes, how to get in touch with us and how to return, exchange and register the product.

The contract for sale of the Products shall not be deemed valid if the above have not been respected.

The User undertakes to check that the data contained in the order confirmation is correct, and to inform the Owner immediately if it contains any mistakes. The User will keep a copy of his or her order, the confirmation and the Conditions.

He or she shall also immediately notify the Owner if he or she should suspect or become aware of their improper use or distribution.

The User guarantees that the personal information supplied during the registration procedure is complete and truthful, and undertakes to indemnify the Owner and hold it harmless from any damage, compensation obligation and/or penalty arising from and/or in any way associated with the User's breach of the rules for registering with the Website, or on how the registration credentials must be kept.

  1. Prices and payments

The price of each Product is shown, already inclusive of VAT. If the nature of the Product should render it impossible to calculate it in advance, the methods used to calculate the price are indicated.

Any taxes or additional expenses that vary according to the payment method used will also be indicated. If these expenses cannot reasonably be calculated beforehand, an indication of the amount which the User will be charged will be given.

The Owner reserves the right to amend the price of Products and any additional costs at any time.  It remains understood that any price changes shall in no way affect contracts already made before the change came into force.

The User undertakes to pay the price of the Product within the timeframe and methods indicated on the Website, and to supply any data required.

The Website uses third-party instruments to process payments; it does not come into contact with the payment details supplied in any way whatsoever (credit card number, password, etc.).

If these third-party instruments should deny payment authorisation, the Owner will not be in a position to supply the products, and cannot be considered in any way responsible.

  1. Invoicing

Users wishing to receive an invoice will be asked to provide invoicing details.  The information provided by the User will be used for the purposes of issuing the invoice. The User declares and guarantees that this information is truthful, and holds the Owner entirely harmless in respect thereof.

  1. Means of supplying Products and Services

The Owner will supply the Products and Services in accordance with the methods and deadlines indicated on the Website.

If it should not be possible to provide the requested Products and Services by the stipulated deadline, the User will be promptly notified via e-mail with information regarding when the Owner reasonably expects to be able to provide the supply, or the reasons rendering the supply impossible.

If the User should decide not to accept the new deadline, or if it is not possible to fulfil the supply, the User can ask for a refund of any sums paid, which will be reimbursed promptly using the same payment means used by the User to make the purchase, no more than 14 days from the date on which the Owner became aware of the reimbursement request.

  1. Right of Users to withdraw from the purchase of Products

In case of withdrawal exercised correctly by the customer (by sending the product in the original packaging at his own charge), the Owner will inspect the product:

  • if the product supplied has not been used and is intact, the Company will refund the User the payments received (with the exception of transport costs), in the same payment methods used by the User for the initial transaction, without undue delay and in any case within 14 days from the date on which the User communicated to withdraw from the contract;
  • if the product supplied has been used or shows signs of wear or damage, the User acknowledges and agrees to lose the right of withdrawal and full refund of the amount paid.

    • the supply of Products that are made to measure or clearly customised
    • the supply of Products that risk deteriorating or expiring quickly.  This category includes all food Products (including beverages) whose characteristics can be altered, including as a result of unsuitable storage methods being used

The Owner shall do anything in its power to find solutions that allow it to fulfil its obligations properly, even if the force majeure events persist.

  1. Connection to third-party websites

The Website may contain links to third-party websites/ applications.  The Owner does not exert any control over them; as a result, it is in no way responsible for the contents of these websites/applications.

Some of these links may direct users to third-party websites/applications that supply services through the Website. In such cases, the individual services will be governed by the general conditions of use for the Website/application, and use of the service as drafted by the third parties, in relation to which the Owner accepts no liability.

The above is without prejudice to the application, to Consumer Users whose habitual place of residence is not in Italy, of more favourable and mandatory legal provisions of the country in which they habitually reside, particularly in relation to the deadline for exercising the right of withdrawal, the deadline for returning Products, if such a right is exercised, the methods and formalities adopted for communicating the above, and the legal guarantee of conformity.
