6. DELIVERY TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Delivery will be made to the delivery address specified by the User within the delivery areas specified in the shipping costs table, unless otherwise agreed.

For goods delivered by freight forwarding, delivery is made “free curbside”, i.e. to the nearest public curb to the delivery address, unless otherwise stated in the shipping information on the website and unless otherwise agreed.

If delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the User is responsible, the User shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Owner as a result. This does not apply to the shipping costs if the User effectively exercises their right of withdrawal. If the User effectively exercises their right of withdrawal, the provisions in the Owner’s cancellation policy apply to the return shipping costs.

If the User acts as a Businessman, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the User as soon as the item is handed over to the freight forwarder, carrier or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment. If the User acts as a Consumer, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods generally only passes to the User or a person authorized to receive the goods. Notwithstanding the above, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods passes to the User as soon as the item is handed over to the freight forwarder, carrier or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment, even in the case of Consumers, if the User commissions the freight forwarder, carrier or other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment with the execution.

7. RETURNS

When the User purchases products on or through the Owner’s Website, he or she has several rights, which are listed and described below:

Right of withdrawal

The User, as a consumer and user, makes a purchase on the Website and therefore has the right to withdraw from this purchase within a period of 14 calendar days without giving any reason.

This withdrawal period will expire 14 calendar days after the day on which the User or a third party designated by the User other than the carrier acquires physical possession of the goods purchased on the Website or, if the goods in your order are delivered separately, 14 calendar days after the day on which the User or a third party designated by the User than the carrier acquires physical possession of the last good subject to the same order.

To exercise this right of withdrawal, the User must notify the Owner. This can be done, where appropriate, through the contact details provided on the Website or by using the withdrawal form available below.

Regardless of the chosen form of communication, the User must clearly and unambiguously express his/her intention to withdraw from the purchase contract. In any case, the User may use the model withdrawal form attached to these terms and conditions. However, its use is not mandatory.

To comply with the cancellation period, it is sufficient that the User send the notification of the exercise of the right of cancellation before the cancellation period has expired.

In the event of withdrawal, all payments received, less shipping costs, will be refunded to the User promptly and in any event no later than 14 calendar days from the date on which the User was informed of his decision to withdraw.

The refund will be processed using the same payment method used for the purchase. The refund will not incur any additional costs for the User. However, the refund may be withheld until the Owner receives the returned products or items.

The User may return or ship the products using the return label received with the order.

The User must do so promptly and in any event no later than 14 calendar days from the date on which he/she has informed of the decision to withdraw.

The User acknowledges that he/she is responsible for the direct costs of returning the goods (transport, delivery). Furthermore, they are responsible for any depreciation of the products resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics, and functioning.

The User acknowledges that there are exceptions to the right of withdrawal, as established in Article 103 of Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, of November 16, approving the revised text of the General Law for the Protection of Consumers and Users, and other complementary legislation. These include, among others, personalized products; products subject to rapid deterioration or expiration; music or video CDs/DVDs without their factory-sealed packaping; aand products sealed for hygiene or health reasons whose seal has been removed after delivery.

The same principles apply to the provision of a service that the User may contract on this Website, since this law provides that the User shall not have the right of withdrawal if the provision of the service has been fully performed or if it has begun with the express consent of the User and with the confirmation that he/she is aware that with the full execution of the contract by the Owner he/she will lose his right of withdrawal.In any case, no refund will be given if the product has been used beyond mere opening, if it is not in the same condition as when delivered or if it has been damaged after delivery.

Furthermore, the products must be returned in their original packaging, with instructions and all accompanying documents, as well as a copy of the purchase invoice.

Return of defective products or shipping errors:

This refers to all cases in which the User considers that the Product does not comply with the provisions of the Contract or Order at the time of delivery and that, therefore, he/she must contact us immediately and inform us of the existing non-conformity (defect/defect) by the same means or using the contact details provided in the previous section (Right of Withdrawal).

The user will then be informed of the procedure for returning the products. After the return, the products will be inspected, and the user will be informed within a reasonable time whether a refund or, if applicable, a replacement is appropriate.

The refund or replacement of the product will be made as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days from the date on which the Owner send to the User an email confirming that the refund or replacement of the non-conforming item is appropriate.

The amount paid for products returned due to a defect will be fully refunded, provided that a defect actually exists, including shipping costs and all costs incurred by the user in processing the return. The refund will be made using the same payment method used for the purchase.

In any case, the rights granted to the User as a Consumer and User under the applicable legislation shall always apply.

Warranty

The User, as a Consumer and User, is entitled to guarantees for the products that can be purchased through this website, in accordance with the conditions established by law for each type of product and is therefore liable for any lack of conformity that occurs within a period of two years from delivery of the product.

To that effect, products are deemed to conform to the contract if they correspond to the description and possess the characteristics presented therein; are suitable for the uses for which products of the same type are commonly intended; and exhibit the quality and performance typical of a product of the same type and generally expected of the same. If this is not the case for products delivered to the User, the User must proceed as indicated in the section on returning defective products or in case of shipping errors. However, some of the products sold on the Website may have inconsistent characteristics, provided that these are due to the type of material from which they are made.

On the other hand, the User may purchase a product from a third-party brand or manufacturer on the Website. In this case, if the product is defective, the User also has the option of contacting the brand or manufacturer responsible for the product to learn how to exercise their statutory warranty rights directly within two years of delivery of the products. To do so, the User must retain all information related to the product warranty.

9. DISCLAIMER

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Owner assumes no liability for the following damages, regardless of their cause:
  • any losses not resulting from a breach by us;
  • business losses (including loss of profits, revenue, contracts, anticipated savings, data, goodwill or unnecessary expenditure); or
  • alle any other indirect losses that were not reasonably foreseeable for both parties at the time the contract for the sale of the products was concluded between the two parties.
In addition, liability is limited in the following cases:
  • The Owner takes every effort to ensure that the product is accurately represented on the Website but is not responsible for minor differences or inaccuracies that may occur due to insufficient screen resolution, problems with the browser used, or similar issues.
  • The Owner will exercise the utmost care to deliver the Product to the transport company in accordance with the order. However, the Owner shall not be liable for damages resulting from transport disruptions, particularly due to causes such as strikes, roadblocks, and, in general, other industry-specific causes that result in delays, loss, or theft of the Product.
  • Technical malfunctions that, for accidental or other reasons, prevent the normal operation of the online service. Website unavailability due to maintenance or other reasons that prevent the availability of the service.
  • The Owner will make every effort to complete the purchase, payment, and shipment/delivery of the Products. However, the Owner is exempt from liability for causes beyond its control, such as force majeure.
  • The owner is not liable for misuse and/or wear of the products used by the User. At the same time, the Owner is not liable for incorrect returns by the User. It is the User’s responsibility to return the correct product.
  • In general, we will not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations if such failure or delay is caused by events beyond our reasonable control, i.e. force majeure, which may include, but is not limited to:
  • strikes, lockouts or other protest measures.
      • civil unrest, riot, invasion, terrorist threat or attack, war (declared or undeclared) or threat or preparation for war.
      • fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or any other natural disaster.
      • inability to use trains, ships, aircraft, motor vehicles or other public or private means of transport.
      • inability to use public or private telecommunications systems.
      • acts, decrees, laws, regulations or restrictions of any government or public authority.
    Thus, the obligations shall be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event, and the Owner shall be granted an extension for the fulfillment of its obligations for a period equal to the duration of the force majeure event. The Owner shall use all reasonable means to find a solution that allows it to fulfill its obligations despite the force majeure event.
