6.2 Upon receipt of the Products, the Customer must:
– ensure that the packaging is intact. Otherwise, the Customer must not collect the Products and leave them with the courier. If this occurs, the Customer is required to promptly notify the Seller in order to proceed with the redelivery of the purchased goods as quickly as possible.
– if the packaging of the Products received is damaged or incomplete, photograph the package so that, in the event of a refund request, the Seller may request such material to verify the actual problem. These photographs must be attached to the notification in the first point.

The Stripe service allows the buyer (the Interested Party) to be redirected to the online payment platform used by the banking institution “Banco BPM Spa”. Consequently, the Seller will never be in possession of any sensitive information (for example, the full credit/debit card number, or the security code).
Art. 8. Right of withdrawal
8.1. Pursuant to Article 52 of the Consumer Code, the Consumer Customer will have the right to withdraw from the purchase contract for any reason, without the need to provide explanations and without any penalty, within the terms and with the methods indicated in the following articles.
8.2 To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer must send the relevant communication to the Seller
8.3 Once the aforementioned withdrawal communication has been received, the Seller, having verified compliance with the terms for exercising the right of withdrawal, will send the Customer a communication containing the procedure to follow for returning the products. The 14-day deadline is respected if the Consumer sends back the goods/goods before the expiry of the 14-day period. Once the products have been received, the Seller will open a refund procedure if and only if the products have been sent within the established terms (the postmark or the date of delivery to a possible courier is valid for the date) and if the products are perfectly intact and in their original packaging.
8.4 In the event of withdrawal communicated by the Customer according to the methods set out in the previous article, the Seller will reimburse the Customer for all amounts paid by the latter, including those for delivery costs of the Products, where applicable, within 14 days of receiving the withdrawal notice sent by the Consumer Customer. The shipping costs relating to the return of the Product are borne by the Customer. The shipment, until the certificate of receipt in the warehouse indicated by the Seller, is under the complete responsibility of the Customer. If the original packaging and/or wrapping are damaged, the Seller will withhold from the refund due a percentage equal to the respective loss of value of the Product.
8.5 In consideration of the characteristics of the Products sold by the Seller, the right of withdrawal applies exclusively to the Product purchased in its entirety; it is not possible to exercise withdrawal only on one or more parts of the purchased Product.
8.6 The refund of the sums will always be made by the Seller to the person who made the payment (identified as the holder of the credit card used for the purchase or as the holder of the current account from which the bank transfer used for the purchase was made). The Seller, also in compliance with the Consumer Code, reserves the right to withhold the refund until it has received the Products back or until the Customer has proven to have sent the Products back.
8.7 The Right of Withdrawal is considered to have been exercised correctly if the communication requesting to exercise the right of withdrawal contains the order code. The products relating to the order for which the right of withdrawal is exercised are sent to the Seller in a single shipment. In fact, the Seller reserves the right not to accept products from the same order, returned and shipped at different times.
8.8 It is specified that, pursuant to art. 59 of the Consumer Code (Exceptions to the right of withdrawal), this right does not apply to:
– order of Products made to measure or clearly personalized;
– order of Products that risk deterioration or expiry rapidly;
– order of sealed Products that are not suitable for return for reasons of hygiene or related to health protection or that have been opened after delivery.
Art. 9. Returns

9.2 The returned package must necessarily contain a copy of the Order Confirmation sent to the email address indicated by the Customer or of the waybill present on the package at the time of receipt. Cash on delivery or carriage forward packages will not be collected under any circumstances.
Art. 10. Refund methods
10.1 A refund procedure may refer to two different types of situations:
- refund of the total amount relating to an order for which the right of withdrawal has been exercised;
- partial refund relating to an order for which one or more products were unavailable.
10.2 Whatever the payment method used by the Customer and except as indicated in the withdrawal clause in article 8 above, the refund is activated by the Seller as quickly as possible, possibly using the same payment channel with which the order was placed, unless the Consumer has expressly agreed otherwise
10.3 The refund of the sums will always be made by the Seller in favor of the person who made the payment (identified as the holder of the credit card used for the purchase or as the holder of the current account from which the bank transfer used for the purchase was made).
