8. Right of withdrawal

8.1 Only if the Customer that enters into the contract is a Consumer (this definition meaning any physical person who accesses the site for purposes other than the business or professional activities he may exercise), he will have the right to withdraw from the contract concluded with the Vendor without any penalty and without specifying the reason, with the term of fourteen (14) working days beginning from the day the products purchased on the web were received. We remind you that, as required by current legislation, the right of withdrawal is excluded and can not therefore be exercised in case the products you have purchased have been customized on your explicit request at the time of placing the Order.

8.2 You have two options for exercising the right of withdrawal.

8.2.1 If you are a registered user, you must go to the My Account section of the site after authentication using your username and password. Here, in the My Orders section, you will find a list of your orders with a link alongside each one of them to activate the return procedure. By accessing the Online Return Form within the term of 14 (fourteen) working days from the day of receipt of the Products, you can communicate your intention to withdraw from the Contract, indicating which Products will be returned.

8.2.2 If you have placed an order without registering on the website www.falconeri.com, go to the "How can we help you?" section at the bottom of the main page and click on "TRACK/RETURN YOUR ORDER". You will need to insert the order number you received in the confirmation email and your surname for billing purposes. Then, you will be able to track your delivery or return the goods.

8.2.3 Alternatively, you may draft your own statement confirming your exercise of your withdrawal right, including using the Withdrawal Form pursuant to Annex I, part B of Legislative Decree 21/2014, which you must send us via registered post with advice of delivery.

8.3 When you fill out the Online Return Form you will be given all the information you need to return the Products.

8.4 The right of withdrawal is subject to the following conditions:

- the Products must be returned in their entirety and not just parts or components of them, even in the case of kits;

- the products returned must not have been used, worn, washed or damaged; they must not be dirty nor show obvious signs of wear.

- Return items must be returned in the packaging in which they arrived, complete with all accessories and labels. For instance, underwear must be returned in its original bag, tights must be returned in their packaging complete with their tag, etc.

- the Products returned must be sent back to the Vendor in a single shipment. The Vendor reserves the right not to accept Products from the same Order returned and shipped at different times;

- the Products being returned must be delivered to the courier within fourteen (14) working days from the date on which you received the products;

- in the case where the Vendor offers the option of purchasing a certain package of Products at a lower price than would normally be charged if they were purchased individually (such as 5 for the price of 4, 3 for the price of 2, etc.), the right of withdrawal can also be exercised with the return of just some of the products purchased: in this case, the price will be recalculated at the normal price charged for the purchase of the single product. In all other cases (such as combined sales, bonus operations, etc.) the right of withdrawal can only be exercised with the return of all the Products purchased, for this reason excluding any partial exclusion.

8.5 If you exercise the right of withdrawal according to the preceding conditions (paragraph 8.4), the Vendor is required to refund the sums paid by you within no more than 14 days from the material receipt of the returned products by the Vendor. Normally, the crediting of the amount originally withdrawn by Falconeri occurs very quickly but the time required for the credit to appear in your current account will depend on your bank.

8.6 In the case of a return, the only charges remaining will be the initial shipping charges for the products purchased.

8.7 Falconeri will only refund the initial shipping charges in the case of damage in transport or shipping errors by Vendor. In these cases only, the Vendor will also refund the amount that you paid for shipping expenses. The Vendor will send an express courier to pick-up the product from the address you indicated.

8.8 For the return, you must only use the courier indicated by the Vendor on the Online Return Form: in this way, you will not have to pay the expenses you are responsible for to return the products purchased because the Vendor will pay them on your behalf. Then, except for the provisions of preceding point 8.7 and for returns due to product defects, the Vendor will deduct a lump-sum amount from the refund due you equal to the cost you were previously charged for shipping to your home, or the shipping expenses normally charged for the country of delivery. In addition, from the moment the products purchased are given to the shipper indicated by the Vendor in the online return form, the Vendor will release you from any liability if the products are lost or damaged during transport.

8.9 In the case where the option to deliver the products to one of the sales points that has an agreement with the Vendor was available at the time the online return form was filled out, you can return the Products directly to a sales point with an agreement with the Vendor. In that case, in addition to the price paid for the purchase, you will also be refunded the shipping expenses that you were previously charged for the delivery of the Products purchased. From the moment the products are delivered to the sales point, the Vendor releases you from any liability if they are lost or damaged during transport.

8.10 In the case of the exercise of the right of withdrawal without following the methods indicated above (such as beyond the 14 days required by law, or without having filled out the Online Return Form, or without having fulfilled the conditions outlined under previous point 8.4 etc.) you will not be entitled to a refund for the amount already paid to the Vendor. Within 10 days of the email notifying you of non-acceptance of the return being sent, you can reply to the email and ask to have, at your own expense, the products back in the same state in which you returned them to the Vendor. Otherwise, the Vendor may keep both the products and the sums already paid to purchase them.

8.11 The right of withdrawal cannot be applied in the case of products that have been customized on your explicit request at the time the order was entered.

9. LEGAL GUARANTEE FOR NONCONFORMING PRODUCTS

The Products must be checked by the Customer at the time of delivery in order to ensure that they correspond to the items ordered and that they do not present any defect or lack of conformity. Upon the sale of the Products, the legal guarantees apply, as provided for by current legislation (article 129 and according to the Consumer Code regarding the legal guarantee for the conformity of goods). All products sold by the Seller are covered by the legal guarantee should there be any lack of conformity within two (2) years from the delivery of the item: this signifies that the Seller is liable for any lack of conformity that presents within this time period. Any product defect must be communicated to the Seller within two (2) months of its discovery (unless it is contrary to mandatory regulations applicable in the Customer's habitual country of residence) by contacting Customer Services or the addresses provided in the following article 10 and filling in the Online Return Form located in the Order Status. In the event that the Customer does not communicate this defect within this time period, the aforementioned rights become null and void.

In the event of a defect, the Customer has the right to request that the product be repaired or replaced, at no extra cost to them. In the event that neither of these two options is possible or are excessively costly, the Customer shall have the right to a discount on the price paid or to the termination of the contract of sale and, consequently, a refund for the price paid, according to art. 130 of the Consumer Code.
