(b) Within these general terms and conditions of use, a consumer is a person or a group who intends to enter into a transaction with the seller for personal needs, not related to entrepreneurial or business activities. Differently, in accordance with these general terms and conditions of use, a company is a legal entity formed by a group of individuals to engage in and operate a business—commercial or industrial—enterprise, who intends to enter into a transaction with the seller as part of its business activity or as a freelance professional.

(c) Any deviation, inconsistency, or addition to any of the following general terms and conditions of use will nullify the present contract, unless, differently agreed between the parties, namely the buyer and the seller.

(d) The buyer reserves the right to modify the present general terms and conditions of use by modifying this page at any time. The updated terms will replace and have priority on previous General Terms and Conditions of Use of the website's versions.

2. DRAFTING OF THE CONTRACT

(a) The seller offer may change any time, without notice obligation and unquestionable judgment of the seller himself. The seller guarantees every possible effort so that the colors, design, and style of Pellein products in the site pictures correspond to the original product. However, some variations may always occur, following technical limitations in the reproduction of colors on the computer screen. Thus, under no circumstances can Pellein be held responsible for any errors or inaccuracies regarding the photographs or graphic representations of the products, as shown on the site. If you have questions about the products, you can contact our customer service at the e-mail address info@pellein.com

(b) The order confirmation implies acceptance of all general terms and conditions of use, in their entirety. All orders can be placed online, on the PELLEIN.com website. The transaction constitutes a binding agreement for the fulfillment of a purchase contract. By clicking on the item "add to cart", during the online purchase process on the Pellein website, the buyer is entering into a binding purchase agreement regarding the products contained in his shopping cart. The order cannot be modified or canceled, except under the conditions set out in the general terms and conditions of use.

(c) The buyer will be informed by e-mail as soon as the order has been received. Please note: the receipt of this first e-mail does not imply that the agreement has been formalized. The agreement is formalized with the sending of the order confirmation, or with the preparation of the purchased products for delivery.

(d) The release of the purchased products for shipping by the seller also constitutes acceptance of the order. The seller reserves the right to refuse orders without being obliged to provide any reasons.

(e) The fulfillment of the order is accepted with the proviso that in the event of improper supply or non-delivery of the goods by the suppliers, the seller reserves the right not to deliver the products or to deliver only a part of the purchase.

This applies only to whether the seller has correctly concluded a supply operation and has not been supplied by its supplier, without being at fault. The seller undertakes to make every reasonable effort to procure the raw materials for the products sold. If they cannot be procured, Pellein will promptly refund the payment received. If the purchased products are not available or are only partially available, the buyer will be informed immediately.

(f) Once the contract has been signed - and if the products have been ordered electronically - the text of the contract, together with the general terms and legally binding conditions, will be sent to the customer by e-mail. The data recorded by the website establishes proof of all transactions operated by Pellein and its customers.

(b) In case of breach of contract by the purchaser (due, in particular, to default in payment, falsification of information, commissioning procedures, asset insolvency, or bankruptcy proceedings), if the buyer has not provided or has provided only part of the payment for the ordered products, the seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract and to request the return of the goods at any time.

(c) The company has the right to sell the products purchased in compliance with the exercise of its business. However, it immediately bears all costs to the seller. The final amount will be determined by the total amount of the invoice, including all costs arising from the resale of the items to end customers or third parties. The seller accepts the transfer. After the transfer, the company is authorized to collect the claim. The seller reserves the right to claim the debt himself if the company fails to meet its payment obligations on a regular basis, or if it delays payment.

(d) At the request of the buyer, the seller agrees to issue guarantees provided that the realizable value of the guarantees exceeds by more than 10% the value of the debt that must be guaranteed. In any case, the seller reserves the right to choose which guarantees will be issued. (

4. PRICES AND PAYMENTS

(a) Prices are subject to change. Price calculation is determined by the list price and possible discounts, in addition to value-added tax (VAT), as established by the seller.

(b) In compliance with long-distance contracts, additional costs will apply for shipping, as indicated in the summary of shipping costs (see: Shipping, of these general terms and conditions of use). The amount of the shipping is charged to the customer in addition to the price of the ordered products (including taxes). This applies to all cases unless otherwise indicated.

(c) The buyer is entitled to compensation only if his request has been legally recognized, recognized by the seller, or is indisputable. The buyer can exercise his right of retention if the dispute arises from the same contractual relationship.

(d) In the event of pricing errors, or erroneous product information, due to typographical or system errors, Pellein reserves the right to cancel orders sent with erroneous information without further obligation to the customer even after the arrival of an order confirmation or a shipping notice.

5. PAYMENT OPTIONS AND SHIPPING COSTS

(d) Shipping costs are calculated as the total sum of the shipping costs incurred by the seller. Further details can be found on the product page or in the checkout form.

6. SHIPPING

(a) Unless otherwise specified, all products are inclusive of VAT (where applicable) and do not include shipping costs. Please note that customs duties should also be taken into consideration, as they can cause variations in shipping costs. Furthermore, in the event of return of purchased products, the seller reserves the right to charge the buyer a fee of EUR 20 for the new shipment. The fee will apply should the return not fully satisfy the requirements expressed in the Right of Withdrawal paragraph.

(b) In case of unavailability of a Pellein product following an order placed by the buyer, the seller will order the unavailable raw materials from its suppliers as quickly as possible, informing the buyer in a timely manner and indicating a possible delivery date.

(c) The seller reserves the right, if required by circumstances, to deliver the purchased products in multiple separate deliveries. In this case, the seller undertakes to protect the interests of the buyer, who will not incur additional costs.

7. TRANSFER OF RISK

(a) The customer must, under his responsibility, check the product (s) shipped at the time of delivery to verify the correspondence with the order. If any discrepancy is found, the customer must not accept the package and must describe the defects found (for example signs of tampering, product damage, missing products or parts, or products other than those ordered and/or indicated in the shipping document ) reporting them in writing directly on the document brought by the courier. Please note that the risk of accidental loss or accidental damage of the purchased item - even during the transaction phases - is transferred to the customer when the item is delivered.

(b) As regards the contractors: the risk of accidental loss or products' damage is transferred to the contractor at the time of transfer or in the case of transfer operations when the products are transferred to the courier, the freight forwarder, or third parties in charge of the execution of the shipment.

Refusal by the customer or contractor to accept delivery of the products will nevertheless be regarded as a transfer of risk.

(c) After the order forwarding procedure, including the product summary page and the payment page, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. The price of the products indicated in the confirmation email does not include the "customs duties" (if due) applied to imports/exports into your country. Placing an order implies the unconditional acceptance of the terms, which state that all additional costs are charged to the customer.

8. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL OF THE CONSUMER

(a) Cancellation terms

(i) If the seller cannot meet the preliminary delivery date, he will inform the buyer in good time. In case of problems with normal business procedures, for which the seller is not responsible, the delivery time will be extended depending on delays due to service interruptions. For example, interruptions by suppliers or subcontractors. The buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract, without indicating the reasons, by returning the purchased products and presenting the return form to the seller within 14 days from receipt of the products, if the conditions of the right of withdrawal are met. In any case, exceptions apply to products made according to customer requirements or that have been adapted to the specific needs of the buyer, such as customizations.

(ii) The withdrawal period begins upon receipt by the seller of the buyer's written instructions to cancel his order. In case of an order delivered with several separate shippings, the period begins with the delivery of the first part of the order. It will not start before the seller has found his responsibilities and other legal obligations. For the return to be made without further delays, it is necessary to send the request and the products within the set times.

The return must be sent to:

Confezione Principe di Grimaldi Santina c/o Pellein

Email: info@pellein.com

(b) CONSEQUENCES OF WITHDRAWAL:

(i) To correctly complete the procedures provided for by the right of withdrawal, both parties must return the purchased products and the sums of money involved in the transaction to each other. The same applies to any benefits gained from the exchange (for example, any interest). If the buyer is unable to return the purchased goods, or could only return a part of them, or should return them in damaged condition, he will be obliged to compensate the seller for the full value of the purchased products, even if he has used them contrary to the principle of good faith, or for personal gain.

No compensation will be asked if the products have been used for the purpose for which they were made, i.e. not using the goods as if they were owned and avoiding anything that decreases their value.

(ii) The buyer will assume the costs of the return (unless otherwise specified). The seller cannot accept the return of products if the package is postage-free or with insufficient postage.

The seller will initiate the return procedures within 2 - 4 working days from receipt of the products.

The seller must refund the buyer within 30 days from the request to exercise the right of withdrawal, or within 30 days from the moment the products have been returned. The seller reserves the right to determine at his discretion whether the products returned to Pellein are in their original condition. The seller is not responsible or liable for any losses, late deliveries, or to the wrong recipient, in the event that the buyer returns the purchase by courier or postal shipment. The buyer bears all the risks of the shipping method chosen for the return of the order.

(iii) The right of withdrawal does not apply to the following products:

products that have been created or modified at the express request of the buyer or customized products and products that are subject to rapid deterioration or subject to expiry are not eligible for the right of withdrawal.

9. RETURNS

(a) If a buyer is a natural person, who has placed a private order without intentions attributable to a commercial purpose or an entrepreneurial activity, then he is considered an end-user. For this reason, he can exercise the right of withdrawal as specified below.

By exercising the right of withdrawal, by paragraph 8 of these general terms and conditions of use, the buyer is obliged to return the purchased products in their original conditions and packaging.

(b) Returns are free only if expressly specified on the product page.

10. WARRANTY

(a) Sold products may vary slightly from the ones showed on the online store. The buyer agrees to control each product's information carefully before placing the order (see paragraph 2/a of these terms and conditions of use).

(b)If the customer is a final consumer, he may request how the seller is to fulfill the warranty obligations, i.e. through the repair or replacement of the products. The seller has the right to refuse the method chosen by the buyer, only if this method involves unreasonable costs, and if the other method does not involve excessive disadvantages for the buyer.

In the case of purchases made by companies, the seller will choose whether to carry out interventions to remedy the shortcomings of the product or to replace it in compliance with the guarantee.

(c) If the fulfillment of the warranty obligations should fail, the buyer can request a reduction in payment or the termination of the contract (withdrawal). In the event of minor defects, the buyer will not be entitled to terminate the contract, considering the mutual interests. In all the procedures for claiming compensation from the counterparty, the buyer can choose compensation for damages or compensation for unnecessary expenses that he reasonably incurred upon acquisition of the goods. If the buyer chooses compensation for damages instead of the service, limitations of liability will be applied, according to Article 11, paragraph 1 of these general terms and conditions of use.

(d) In the event of product defects, the rights of the buyer provide for the purchaser to correctly complied with its obligations to examine the product and notify the defect. Companies, in particular, are obliged to report defects in the materials purchased within two weeks of their arrival; otherwise, the warranty will be considered invalid. Timely shipment of defective products, or immediate notification of defective products, will be accepted as a valid request as long as made before the deadline expires. The contracting companies are responsible for notifying everything necessary and taking notes of all defects in detail and the date of occurrence. They are also responsible for reporting the damage promptly.

(e) If the buyer is a company, the description of the product by the manufacturer will be considered the only criterion for determining whether the quality of the products meets the required standards. No other public declaration, testimony, or advertising of the manufacturer will be considered acceptable as a contractually binding description of the products.

(f) The warranty period for products purchased by end consumers is 100 years from delivery. This warranty does not apply if the buyer is intentionally or grossly negligent in taking care of the products purchased and taking into account normal wear and tear.

(g) The seller does not provide further guarantees to the buyer unless expressly agreed. This does not affect the manufacturer's warranty.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

(a) In the event of minor breaches of their obligations, the liability of the seller and the contractors is limited to the direct average damage, typical and foreseeable, depending on the type of product concerned. This also applies in the event of minor violations by the legal representative or sales agents. The seller is not responsible for minor non-essential contractual violations due to negligence. Conversely, it is responsible for the violation of the purchaser's essential contractual legal positions. The essential contractual legal positions of the buyer are those guaranteed by the signed contract, according to its content and ultimate purpose. The seller is also held responsible for the violation of the obligations whose fulfillment is necessary for the correct execution of the contract, and in whose observance the parties regularly agree.
