6.  Warranties and after-sales service

6.1 The essential characteristics of the products are stated on the Website, in each Product detail page. However, the images and colours of the products offered for sale may not correspond to the actual ones due to the Internet browser and monitor used. It is therefore agreed that, subject to the indications shown on the label and without prejudice to the right to withdraw, the Customer may not raise any objection against the Seller, in the event that the Product delivered does not correspond to the image of the Product shown on the Website in terms of colours.

6.2 The Seller pays the utmost attention to ensure that the description and appearance of the products on the website correspond to what is stated on the label on the product packaging. In any case, it is emphasised that, where differences are found, the label and the instructions for use of the Product provided by the Manufacturer shall always prevail.

6.3 Upon delivery of the purchased Product by the courier, the Customer is required to check that the number of packages delivered corresponds to the number stated in the transport document and that the packaging and the seals (adhesive tape or metal strapping) are intact, not damaged, wet or otherwise altered. Upon receipt of the Products, the Customer shall:

- make sure that the packaging is intact. If that is not the case, the Customer must NOT accept delivery of the Products and leave them with the courier. Should this occur, the Customer must promptly notify the Seller so that the purchased goods can be shipped back as soon as possible;

- sign the document of receipt of the goods submitted by the courier, always including the words "ACCEPTED SUBJECT TO CHECK”. This will make it easier and quicker to obtain a refund for damage attributable to transport;

- photograph the package - if the Products received are damaged or incomplete/incorrect - both outside and inside so that, in the event of request for refund, the Seller can request such material and verify the actual problem.

Without prejudice to the additional warranty offered by the Seller as per clause 6.4, once the courier's document has been signed, the Customer may not raise any objection with respect to the external characteristics of the Products delivered; as a result, the risk of damage to the Products - as regards these aspects - shall be transferred - unless otherwise provided for by the applicable legislation - to the Customer for all intents and purposes.

6.4 In any case, the Seller offers an additional warranty to the Customer, so that if the Customer does not comply with the provisions of clause 6.3 and therefore forfeits the right to make a claim against the shipping courier for damage to the products, the Seller shall refund the damaged goods in any case, in accordance with the procedures set out in this document (clauses 10 and 11).

6.5 The Seller shall be liable to the Customer for any product non-compliance at the time of delivery and for hidden defects that become apparent within two years of such delivery. The Customer may request service under warranty through the website (“contact us” section), specifying as reason “warranty for product non-compliance”, the order code and the reason for the complaint. The Seller reserves the right to request images/photos/videos in order to make a prior assessment. The Seller reserves the right to ask the user to enclose the Order Confirmation and/or the Delivery Note or any other document proving the purchase date and the delivery date along with the request to make use of the legal Warranty for non-compliance. If the Italian law applies, the non-compliance must be reported to the Seller, under penalty of forfeiture of the warranty, within two months from the date on which it was discovered. After verifying compliance with the above, the Seller shall inform the Customer of the procedures for the repair or replacement of the product under warranty. The Seller shall, where necessary, arrange for the defective Product to be collected by an express courier at its own expense, directly at an address specified by the Customer. In this case, unless otherwise specified by the Seller, the Customer must make the complete Product with all its parts available for collection. Following receipt of the product, the Seller shall assess the actual alteration and, in the event of affirmative response and subject to any request by the Customer on the remedy to be adopted pursuant to the applicable legislation, the Seller shall repair or replace the goods at its own expense, within and no later than 30 (thirty) days of the date of receipt of the returned product.

6.6 In the event of negative response, the Seller shall promptly notify the Customer of the negative outcome of the return procedure, and no replacement product shall be sent to the Customer. In any case, the Customer may, at his/her own expense, collect the product from the Seller within and no later than 30 (thirty) days from the notice of negative outcome of the procedure, without prejudice to the Customer’s rights under the law.

6.7 If French law applies, the Customer also benefits from the warranty against hidden defects in accordance with articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code.

6.8 Except as otherwise provided by applicable law and without prejudice to the unwaivable rights of consumers, the Seller shall not be liable or obliged to pay any indirect, non-pecuniary or collateral damages, including (without limitation): loss of profit, loss of earnings, production limitations, administrative or staff costs, loss of customers or legal action by third parties.

6.9 The limitation of liability set out in clause 6.8 shall not apply in the event of fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Seller, or in the event of serious injury or death caused by gross negligence of the Seller.
