Article 2 - Object
The General Sales Conditions define the methods and terms of the sale of the Products indicated on the Site and sold by the Seller through its own commercial brand and/or other brands, depending on whether the Product has been produced and marketed, or only marketed, by the Seller.
For the description of the Products and their technical specifications, explicit reference is made only to the information published on the Site.
The Contract includes exclusively what is indicated in the online purchase Order.
For the detailed description of the product, reference is made to the product page on the Site. Therefore, the characteristics of the Product are those described on the Site page dedicated to the individual Product.
On websites accessible via links on the Site (e.g. banners, links, other hypertext links), the Seller does not carry out, nor is authorized to carry out, any control and/or monitoring. The Seller cannot therefore be held responsible for the content of such sites nor for any errors and/or omissions and/or violations of the law by them.
The description of each Product may be accompanied on the Site by a Technical Sheet illustrating its main characteristics based on the information provided by the manufacturers of the goods. The Seller reserves the right to unilaterally modify and publish modifications to the Technical Sheets made by the Manufacturer, without the need for any prior notice.
The Seller will do its best to ensure that the images of the Products published on the Site, accompanying the Technical Sheet of a Product, represent the Products on sale as faithfully as possible. However, the colors of the Products may differ from the real ones due to the settings of the computer systems or computers used by users for their visualization. The images in the Technical Sheet may also differ in size or in relation to any accessory products.
For the purposes of the purchase contract, the description of the Product contained in the Technical Sheet shall be binding.

SPECIFIC APPROVAL pursuant to and for the effects of Articles 1341 - 1342 of the Italian Civil Code.

Article 3 - Registration of the Customer on the Site
The offer and sale of Products on the Site constitute a distance contract governed by Legislative Decree 9 April 2003, n. 70 containing the regulation of electronic commerce (so-called "e-commerce"), by Articles 45 et seq. of Legislative Decree 6 September 2005, n. 206 ("Consumer Code") and subsequent amendments, and the civil code.
In order to conclude a purchase Order, it is necessary for the Customer to register in the appropriate area on the Site beforehand. Upon successful registration, a personal account will be created, following the conclusion of the procedure for confirming the identification and identification of the Customer according to the methods unilaterally defined by the Seller. Registration on the Site is free. The Site also indicates the procedure for obtaining the cancellation of the account created by the Customer.
At the time of registration, the Customer must indicate whether he/she is acting as a Consumer or a Professional. The contractual rules set out in the General Sales Conditions must be interpreted and applied taking into account, in the various clauses that make up the aforementioned General Sales Conditions, depending on the nature of the Customer (Consumer or Professional). The insertion of the VAT number during the registration procedure is considered an indication of the purchase being made for purposes related to the business, commercial, artisanal, or professional activity carried out.
The Customer who has completed the registration procedure will receive an email, to the e-mail address indicated in the form, confirming the creation of the account, summarizing the Customer's registration data. The Customer is required to verify the correctness of the above-mentioned data and to immediately communicate any errors or changes.
The data contained in the registration form constitute an express declaration by the Customer regarding his/her identity and with respect to every element expressly indicated by the Customer that serves to identify him/her. Incomplete information provided by the Customer in filling out the form will prevent the conclusion of the registration procedure. The Customer, therefore, guarantees that the personal information provided during the registration procedure on the Site is complete and truthful and undertakes to hold the Seller harmless and indemnified from any damage, compensation obligation and/or sanction resulting from and/or in any way connected to the violation by the Customer of the rules for registering on the Site or for storing registration credentials.

Article 4 - Purchase Order
The purchase of Products on the Site is only allowed to individuals who have reached the legal age of majority.
The Customer is required to carefully read these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, which can be stored and reproduced, as well as all other information provided by the Seller on the Site, both prior and during the purchase process.
The applicable General Terms and Conditions of Sale are those in force at the time of transmission of the purchase order. They may be unilaterally modified at any time by the Seller; any modifications and/or new conditions will apply from the moment of their publication on the Site. Each individual Contract will be governed by the general terms and conditions of sale in force at the time of the purchase order.
Orders are considered concluded, and therefore also for the purposes of the effectiveness of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, only upon completion of the internal procedure on the Site which, through a determined succession of activities involving completion of the elements that make up the Order by the Customer, including but not limited to, insertion of the Customer's data, selection of the chosen characteristics of the Product, payment terms and conditions, delivery costs and times, if expressly provided for by the individual Product, approval of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, also pursuant to Articles 1341-1342 of the Civil Code, define and complete the purchase order.
Failure to complete the procedure therefore prevents the formation of the Order, which will therefore be deemed invalid and ineffective.

In order to ensure the security of payments made on the Site and prevent any fraud, the Seller reserves the right to request additional information from the Customer (e.g. telephone number, copy of a valid identity document front and back via email or fax). The email requesting such information will specify the deadline by which the document must be received by the Seller. This deadline will not, in any case, exceed 4 days.

Article 11 - Warranty for Defects
The duration of the warranty, in the event that the Customer is a Consumer under the Consumer Code, is limited to 24 months from the date of delivery, while it is 12 months if the Customer is a Professional.
The warranty is limited to any conformity defects existing at the time of delivery of the Product and which manifest within the period of effectiveness of the warranty starting from delivery. The conformity defect must be reported to the Seller, under penalty of forfeiture of the warranty, within two months from the date on which it was discovered.
A conformity defect means the case in which the Product does not conform to the description provided by the Seller and/or does not possess the qualities of the Product indicated on the Site.
The legal warranty is reserved for Consumers and is applicable only if the goods are used with normal diligence and under normal conditions by the buyer. Therefore, the Seller declines any responsibility for defects if the goods are subjected to conditions of heating, humidity, exposure to atmospheric factors such as, for example, sunlight or abnormal environments. The warranty provided herein is not applicable in case of deterioration of the goods caused by causes external to the intrinsic quality of the product. Any defects and/or faults caused by accidental events or the responsibility of the Customer or by use of the Product not in conformity with its intended use and/or as indicated in the Technical Data Sheet of the Product are also excluded from the scope of the legal warranty.
The warranty does not cover the consequences due to the normal wear and tear of the product. In particular, the following are not covered by the warranty: discoloration of materials due to light or other atmospheric factors or rubbing; deterioration due to accidents such as, for example, stains, burns, scratches, cuts, etc.; deterioration caused by the use of products unsuitable for cleaning the product, not indicated or recommended by the Seller.
The Seller cannot be held responsible, to the extent permitted by law, in case the delivered product does not comply with the legislation of the country of delivery other than Italy; nor in case of non-substantial differences between the purchased goods and their illustrative images and text descriptions published on the Site and therefore also in the Technical Data Sheet of the Product.
The warranty is deemed excluded: (i) if the Consumer is aware of the defect; (ii) if the defect is ascertainable by the Consumer with ordinary diligence; (iii) if the defect of conformity derives from instructions or materials provided by the Consumer.
The Seller is not responsible for public statements if it demonstrates that: it was not aware of the manufacturer's statement and could not have known it with ordinary diligence; the statement had been adequately corrected before the conclusion of the Contract so as to be known to the Consumer; the decision to purchase the consumer good was not influenced by the statement.
If the Customer does not have the quality of Consumer, Legislative Decree no. 206/2005 and subsequent amendments will not apply, and the rules provided by the Italian Civil Code will be applicable. Notwithstanding the exclusions above, if the Customer does not have the quality of Consumer, the warranty due by the Seller has a duration of one year.
In case of duly reported and proven non-conformity, the Customer is entitled to:
the free repair or replacement of the goods, at their choice, unless the requested remedy is objectively impossible or excessively burdensome compared to the other;
in case repair or replacement is impossible or excessively burdensome, or if they have not been carried out within a reasonable time or if they have caused significant inconvenience to the Customer, to a reduction of the price or to the termination of the contract, at their choice.
The requested remedy is considered excessively burdensome if it imposes unreasonable costs on the Seller compared to the alternative remedies that can be carried out, taking into account i) the value that the good would have if there were no non-conformity; ii) the extent of the non-conformity; iii) the possibility that the alternative remedy can be carried out without significant inconvenience to the Customer.
The products sold on the Website may be covered by a Manufacturer's warranty, if different from the Seller. In this case, the Customer can only enforce this warranty against the Manufacturer. The conditions of application of the warranty referred to in this paragraph depend on the individual Manufacturer and are indicated in the so-called warranty certificate contained in the Product's package.
Any conventional warranty issued by the Manufacturer is voluntary and does not add, replace, limit, prejudice or exclude the legal warranty. In no case may the Customer enforce the conventional warranty issued by the Manufacturer against the Seller.

SPECIFIC APPROVAL pursuant to and for the effects of Articles 1341 - 1342 of the Italian Civil Code.

Article 12 - Contract Termination
Pursuant to art. 61, paragraph iv of the Consumer Code, the Customer may immediately terminate the contract without granting any additional term if:
the Seller has expressly refused to deliver the Products;
the compliance with the delivery term indicated during the purchase process and in the "Order Registration Confirmation" email must be considered essential, taking into account all the circumstances that accompanied the conclusion of the contract;
the Customer informed the Seller, before the conclusion of the contract, that delivery by a certain date is essential.
The Customer must communicate the termination to the Seller using the methods specified in the following article 16 (Communications), and the Seller shall be obliged to refund the Customer, without delay, the Cost of the Product, if already paid, or may not request payment if not yet paid.

If a Party is prevented or delayed in the performance of any of the obligations arising from the Contract due to the occurrence of a cause of Force Majeure, it shall notify the other Party of the circumstances constituting the cause of Force Majeure and the obligations whose performance is prevented or delayed due to such event.
The affected Party shall in any case make every reasonable effort to limit, in accordance with the Rules of Good Performance, the effects of the cause of Force Majeure on the performance due under the Contract.
The events provided for in this article may be referred to both the Parties, the Carrier, and the Manufacturer.
