In the case of omission of a term of delivery, this will take place, in any case, within 30 days, effective from the day on which the agreement is entered into.

a. in case of a single Product order, from the day the User or a third party other than the carrier and designated by the User comes into material possession of the Product;

b. in case of a Multiple Order with separate deliveries, from the day the User or a third party other than the carrier and designated by the User comes into material possession of the Product delivered last; or

c. in case of an order related to the delivery of a Product of different batches or multiple pieces, from the day when the User or a third person, different from the carrier and designated by the User, comes into material possession of the last batch or the last piece.

11.2 To exercise the Right of withdrawal, the User must inform the Seller, prior to the expiry of the Withdrawal Period, of his/her decision to withdraw.

11.5 The cost for returning the Product (including custom duties and country VAT in case of Extra EU Countries) is at the User's expense and the return occurs under his/her responsibility.

11.6 If the User withdraws from the Products purchase agreement, the Seller shall refund the Total Sum Due paid by the User for the Product(s), including delivery expenses without undue delay and no later than 14 calendar days from the date on which the Seller was informed of the User's decision to withdraw from the Products purchase agreement. The refund will occur by using the same payment method used for the original transaction.

The withdrawal is applied to the Product in its entirety. In this sense it cannot be exercised just for some parts and/or accessories (which don’t represent and are not autonomous products) of the Product.

11.8 In the event that the withdrawal has not been exercised in compliance with the applicable provisions of law, it will not result in termination of the Products purchase agreement and, by consequence, won’t create any right of reimbursement. The Seller shall communicate to the User that it shall reject the withdrawal request from the reception of the Product. In case the Product already arrived back to the Seller, it will stay to the Seller for User disposal for the pick-up that will have to be done on charge and under responsibility of the User.

11.9 In case the Right of withdrawal cannot be applied, the User will be informed on the Website.

11.20 In the case of partial withdrawal from Multiple Orders, the amount of delivery costs to be reimbursed in favor of the User will be quantified in proportion to the value of the Product subject to withdrawal. For example, the User has placed an order of 200.00 Euros, which includes two Products, the first worth 50.00 Euros and the second worth 150.00 Euros, and returns the Product of the value of 150.00 Euros, the User will be reimbursed for an amount equal to 75% of the delivery costs incurred.

The requested solution is excessively expensive if it entails unreasonable expenses for the Seller compared to alternative solutions, considering (i) the value that the Product(s) would have if the non-conformity did not exist; (ii) the extent of the non-conformity; (iii) the possibility that the alternative solution may be achieved without significantly inconveniencing the User.

12.7 The Seller shall not be held liable in the event of damage of any kind resulting from the improper use of the Product(s).
