ARTICLE 1

SCOPE OF APPLICATION

ARTICLE 3

INFORMATION REGARDING THE ITEMS

The characteristics and essential information regarding the items (including, but not limited to: type, name, colour, size, properties, material, composition, etc.) are available on the website. Nevertheless, the consumer is aware and agrees that, even though the images and other portrayals of the items are quite accurate in their description of the original items, they are provided by the Company for exemplification purposes only and as such have no binding contractual value; hence the items, though consistent with the description provided by the Company, may not be perfectly identical to those depicted in the images or in any other forms of description.

Consequently, the consumer agrees to release the Company from any liabilities due to subtle and marginal differences detected in the items delivered in comparison with those depicted to the consumer at the time of the order.

ARTICLE 4

PRODUCT ORDERING

4.1

In order to purchase the items remotely, the consumer must follow the procedure described in Article 5 below.

Vestrum srl reserves the right not to process order lower than €100.

The orders will be accepted by the Company as long as the items are available in stock. The consumer, prior to the order, will be informed about any restrictions in stock availability. If, following the order having been completed by the consumer, it should appear that the items ordered are no longer available, the Company shall inform the consumer accordingly and refund the price paid by reimbursing the money paid using the same method originally used to finalise the purchase.

4.2

1. c) The personal data, address, telephone number and e-mail address must strictly be true and personal.

Where the Company should find out that the order is not compliant with these general terms of sale (including, but not limited to, order containing wrong delivery address information), the Company shall inform the consumer of such circumstances by e-mail no later than 6 working days after the order has been made, asking the customer to notify within 6 days the amended data, thus making the order compliant with the general terms of sale.

4.3

The Company shall still be entitled to reject, at its sole discretion:

• orders made by consumers with whom the company has an ongoing dispute concerning the payment of previously sold goods;
• orders being non-compliant with these general terms of sale and which have not been amended by the consumer and re-forwarded under the terms of section 4.2, letter e.

4.4

Decree no. 196 of 30 June 2003, personal data included on the relevant web page at the order shall be processed by the Company exclusively for the purposes of finalising the sale and delivery of the goods and stored solely for the purposes of legal, tax and accounting compliance.

PURCHASING PROCESS

6.1 – REGISTRATION

By filling out the personal data sheet required for the registration as prescribed in the website, the consumer authorises Vestrum Srl to notify non-sensitive personal data (place of residence, telephone number) to trusted couriers and/or forwarders used for the delivery of the purchased items, in order to enable all delivery processes.

It is possible to complement the order with Shipping Notes, such as, for instance, the name of the person to whom the parcel must be delivered should the recipient not be available.

To this end, the consumer undertakes to notify the exact habitual residence or third party address.

In order to finalise the order and make the payment, it is not necessary to be a registered customer. Registered customers must enter their e-mail and password and click on Login.

If the customer has forgotten his/her password, they may retrieve it by clicking on “Password forgotten?” and specify the e-mail address given at registration, to which the Password will be sent.

Non-registered users must provide the required data and finalise the purchase as guests.

6.2 – PAYMENT

Once the data have been entered, the customer may check the order summary and select the payment method.

After a few seconds the system will redirect the customer to the website of the bank managing the on-line payment, which Vestrum Srl may not access in any way.

Credit card payments shall be authorised only for the following credit card providers: Visa, Mastercard or via PayPal; PostePay cards are also accepted, while for the moment payments in the form of cash on delivery and wire transfer are not allowed.

From then on, any doubts concerning the information that the system may require (secure code, etc.) shall be settled with the issuing bank.

By filling in the relevant boxes in the bank website, the consumer authorises Vestrum Srl to use the credit card provided and to charge on the consumer’s bank account in favour of Vestrum Srl the total amount reported as the price due for the on-line purchase. The process shall take place by means of a protected connection with the bank managing the on-line payment, which Vestrum Srl may not access in any way.

6.3 – ORDER CONFIRMATION

Once the payment card data have been provided, the system shall inform the customer whether the order has been accepted and will send an order confirmation e-mail.

In general, Vestrum Srl and the consumer agree that electronic messages as well as automatic registration systems shall be construed by the parties as proof of the purchase order having been sent, with specific regard to the date and nature of the order. In any case we recommend the consumer to keep a paper or electronic copy of the order sent and the electronic message received from Vestrum Srl.

ARTICLE 7

DELIVERY

The items will be delivered only:

• at the place of habitual residence of the consumer, or
• at a third party address as specified by the consumer for the delivery at the time of the order; this is to remind that such address must correspond to the place of habitual residence of the third party appointed by the consumer or, in lack thereof, the address of the company at which the third party works;
• it is understood that the delivery shall not occur either at hotels or post-office boxes.

The delivery of the items shall take place once the payment of the order has been duly effected, at the address specified by the consumer for the delivery. The delivery of the ordered items shall take place no later than 30 days from the date of the order.

The items shall be accompanied by an invoice detailing the ordered goods and the applied prices.

ARTICLE 8

RETENTION OF TITLE

ARTICLE 9

WITHDRAWAL AND RETURNS

The Consumer may exercise his/her withdrawal right, without having to offer any reasons, within 14 days starting from the date in which the order has been made. In such instance the consumer, within the above term shall notify it, by filling out the relevant on-line form, to Vestrum Srl, which will confirm with an automatic e-mail the receipt of the return request and will provide all instructions to proceed. Upon receiving the confirmation, the consumer shall return to the Company the items, in their original packaging and in a perfect state of preservation, complete (accessories, instruction sheet, warranty, etc.) and accompanied by a copy of the invoice, at the same address reported in the invoice and in compliance with the instructions received.

The consumer must keep proof of such return and ship back the goods by registered mail or by any other means providing a certain shipping date; return charges shall be borne by the consumer.

The refund of the invoiced price for the returned items shall take place by wire transfer to the consumer no later than 14 days after the Company receiving the returns.

In case of transport damage of the returned goods, Vestrum Srl shall inform the Customer within five working days from receiving the goods, thus allowing the Customer to seek remedies from the courier used for the transport.
The damaged goods will be made available to be shipped back and the return request shall be cancelled.
Upon arrival at the warehouse, the goods shall be inspected in order to assess any damage or tampering not connected with transport.

Goods that should be found incomplete, worn, damaged, deteriorated or dirty for reasons attributable to the consumer, or missing a copy of the invoice, shall not be refunded and will in no way give rise to a credit equal to the price of the items originally purchased.

If the original box or packaging should be damaged and the item should therefore be reconditioned or replaced to be stored back in the warehouse, Vestrum Srl may, at its own discretion, retain a percentage of 20% from the refund due, as a contribution to the restoration and management charges.

The purchased products MAY be replaced with different colours and sizes depending on stock availability, following the return procedure and specifying the desire to make a change. A refund may be requested following the procedure explained in the relevant section in the consumer’s account.

Any returns shipped from outside the European Union shall not be accepted.

ARTICLE 10

CONFORMITY – WARRANTY

The consumer must make sure the goods delivered correspond to the order made. If the delivered items were not compliant with the order, the consumer must inform the Company no later than 8 days from receiving the goods by e-mail to the address customercare@vestrum-italy.com clearly specifying whether he/she intends to request a return or rather the replacement of the goods received with other, consistently with the order made. Upon verifying the non-conformity of the goods with the order made, the Company shall notify the consumer the approval of the return or the replacement.
