The following provisions govern the commercial relationships between the Supplier and the users of the e-shop http://www.Francogentili.it (hereinafter referred to as the “E-Shop”) residing in Italy (“Buyer”) for the purchase and sale of the products offered through the E-Shop (hereinafter referred to as the “Products”).

Pursuant to the following provisions, the supplier may only accept orders placed by buyers with residence and delivery address within Italy.

4 – Entering into and effectiveness of the Agreement
The mere use of the E-Shop by the buyer is not sufficient for the Franco gentil e purpose of entering into an agreement between the buyer and the supplier and therefore shall not give rise to any contractual or non-contractual claims against the supplier.
4.2 The buyer must register on the website to access the E-Shop, specifying a “user name” and a “password” (“Access Codes”). The registration of the buyer’s data takes place in order to allow the supplier to manage the purchase and sale procedure and related payment and it does not constitute a final contact.
In order to properly register, a “user name” and a password must be provided. Entering false and/or invented and/or imaginary data in the preliminary registration procedure for the use of the E-Shop is forbidden.
The buyer accepts the liability associated with any activity carried out, including by third parties, through the use of its Access Codes and has the obligation to promptly notify the supplier of any violation or misappropriation of its Access Codes by third parties.
The display of Products in the E-Shop does not constitute a contractual proposal of the supplier, but a mere invitation to issue a proposal.
The purchase order issued by the buyer by clicking on the “Buy now” button in the “Proceed to Checkout” (“Purchase Order”) constitutes a contractual purchasing proposal.
After receiving the Purchase Order from the User, the supplier will send an email notification to the address specified by the Buyer, confirming receipt of the Purchase Order and its related details (“Purchase Order Confirmation”).
Such Purchase Order Confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the Buyer’s Purchase Order, but is intended solely to inform the User that the supplier has correctly received the Purchase Order.
The sales contract between the buyer and the supplier is entered into only when the supplier informs the buyer by e-mail that the Purchase Order has been accepted and that the Product has been shipped (“Shipping Confirmation”).
The contract is not deemed entered into and in effect between the parties if the aforementioned conditions are not met.

5 – Prices
All sales prices of the products displayed and specified in the E-Shop are expressed in euros.
The sales prices, as referred to in the previous point, are inclusive of VAT and any other tax.

Shipping costs and any additional charges, if any, even if not included in the purchase price, shall be specified and calculated in the purchase procedure before the purchase order is submitted by the buyer and shall also be detailed in the web page summary of the purchase order submitted.
The prices specified for each of the goods are valid until the date specified in the catalogue.

6 – Product availability
Should an order exceed the quantity available in stock, the Supplier will inform the Buyer by e-mail on whether the goods can become available again or what the waiting time would be in order to obtain the requested goods, asking whether the Buyer wishes to confirm the purchase order submitted or to cancel it.
The Supplier’s computer system confirms the purchase order registration as soon as possible by sending the user an e-mail confirmation in accordance with point 4.2

7 – Limitation of liability
The Supplier does not accept any liability for any disservice attributable to force majeure, if the Supplier becomes unable to handle the purchase order within the time frames specified in the agreement.
The Supplier shall not be liable to the Buyer, except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence, for any disservice or malfunctions connected with the use of the Internet beyond the control of the Supplier or its subcontractors.
Furthermore, the Supplier shall not be liable for damages, losses and costs incurred by the Buyer as a result of breach of contract for reasons not attributable to it, since the Buyer is only entitled to a full refund of the price paid and any additional charges incurred.
The Supplier does not accept any liability for any fraudulent or illegal use by third parties of credit cards and other means of payment, upon payment of the products purchased, if it proves to have taken all possible precautions based on the best technical knowledge and experience available at the time and to have applied appropriate due diligence.

8 – Liability for defects, proof of damage and damage reimbursement: the Supplier’s obligations.
Pursuant to articles 114 et seq. of the Consumer Code, the Supplier is liable for damages caused by defects in the goods sold if it fails to inform the damaged party, within three months of the request, regarding the identity and address of the manufacturer or the person that supplied the goods.
The above request, by the damaged party, must be made in writing and must specify the product that caused the damage, the place and date of purchase, and it must also make available the product for viewing through the appropriate section on the E-Shop (“Claim Form”) specifying the defects.
The disputed Product must be returned together with a printed version of the Claim Form.
The Supplier shall not be held liable for the consequences deriving from a defective product if the defect is due to product conformity, a mandatory legal obligation or a binding measure, or if the state of scientific and technical knowledge at the time of manufacturing allowed the product to be placed on the market without deeming it defective.
The supplier shall not be liable for Product defects that have been caused by the deliveries performed by third parties.
The supplier shall not be liable for damages resulting from improper use of the Product, its alteration, or normal wear and tear or negligence in the care of the Product.
No compensation shall be due if the damaged party has been aware of the product defect and of the hazard that arose from it and has nevertheless voluntarily chosen to accept such risk.
In any case the damaged party must prove the defect, the damage, and the causal connection between defect and damage.
The damaged party may claim compensation for damages caused by death or personal injury or by the destruction or deterioration of property other than the defective product, provided that it is of a kind typically intended for private use or consumption and thus mainly used by the damaged party.
Damage to property as referred to in Article 123 of the Consumer Code will, however, be compensated only to the extent that it exceeds the amount of three hundred and eighty-seven euros (387 euros).

9 – Warranty and Support
The Supplier shall be liable for any lack of conformity that may arise within two years of delivery of the goods.
For the purpose of this contract, consumer goods shall be deemed in conformity with the agreement if, where relevant, the following circumstances coexist: (a) they are suitable for the use for which goods of the same type are normally intended; (b) they comply with the description provided by the seller; (c) they have the quality and performance normally expected for goods of the same type, which the consumer can reasonably expect, taking into account the nature of the goods and, where appropriate, the public statements made by the seller on the specific characteristics of said goods, in particular in advertising or on the labelling.
The Buyer shall forfeit all rights if it fails to notify the seller of the lack of conformity within a period of two months from the date in which the defect was discovered.
Filing of a claim is not necessary if the seller has recognised the existence of said defect or has concealed it.
In any case, unless there is proof to the contrary, defects in conformity that become apparent within six months of delivery of the goods shall be assumed to have already existed on that date, unless this assumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or with the lack of conformity.
In the event of a lack of conformity, the Buyer may request, alternatively and free of charge, under the conditions specified below, repair or replacement of the goods purchased, a discount on the purchase price or termination of this contract, unless the request cannot be objectively met or is excessively onerous for the Supplier pursuant to art. 130, paragraph 4, of the Consumer Code.
The request must be sent in writing, by registered letter with return receipt or by certified e-mail to the Supplier, who shall state its willingness to process the request, or the reasons that prevent it from doing so, within seven business days from the receipt.

In the same notification, if the Supplier has accepted the Buyer’s request, it must specify the method of shipment or return of the goods as well as the deadline for the return or replacement of the defective goods.
If the repair and replacement are impossible or excessively expensive, or the Supplier has not repaired or replaced the goods within the period referred to in the previous point or, finally, the replacement or repair previously carried out has caused considerable inconvenience to the Buyer, the latter may request, at its option, a reasonable price discount or termination of the agreement.
In this case, the Buyer must send its request to the Supplier, who shall specify its willingness to process said request, or the reasons that prevent it from doing so, within seven business days from the receipt.
In the same notification, if the Supplier has accepted the Buyer’s request, it must specify the price discount proposed or how to return the defective goods. In such cases, it will be the Buyer’s responsibility to specify the methods for crediting the amount previously paid to the Supplier.

10 – Buyer’s obligations
The Buyer undertakes to pay the price of the goods purchased in the time and manner specified in the agreement.
Once the online purchase procedure has been completed, the Buyer undertakes to print and store a copy of this agreement.
The information contained in this agreement has, however, already been viewed and accepted by the Buyer, that acknowledges it, as this step is made mandatory before the purchase confirmation.

11 – Termination clause
The obligations referred to in point 12.1, undertaken by the Buyer, as well as the guarantee of successful completion of the payment that the Buyer makes with the means referred to in art. 5.1, and also the accurate fulfilment of the obligations undertaken by the Supplier in point 6, are essential, so that by express agreement, a breach of even just one of these obligations, where not due to an accidental event or force majeure, will result in the termination of the agreement by right under art. 1456 of the civil code without need for any court ruling.

12 – Privacy Protection and Buyer’s personal data processing
The Supplier protects the privacy of its clients and guarantees that the processing of personal data in accordance with the provisions of the privacy policy referred to in Legislative Decree No. No. 196 of 30 June 2003.

The communication of personal data by the Buyer is a necessary condition for the correct and timely execution of this agreement. Failure of the Buyer to provide the data will make it impossible to process the Buyer’s request .
In any case, the data acquired will be stored for a period of time not exceeding the time necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or subsequently processed. Their erasure will take place securely at all times.
The data controller is the Supplier, to whom the Buyer may direct any inquiry addressing it to the company headquarters.
Any communication sent to the Supplier’s e-mail address (including e-mail addresses) (requests, suggestions, ideas, information, materials, etc.) shall not be deemed confidential information or data, shall not breach the rights of others and shall contain valid information not harmful to the rights of others and shall be true; in any case, the Supplier shall not be held liable for the content of the messages.

This contract is governed by Italian law, including the Consumer Code and the E-Commerce regulations established by Legislative Decree No. 70 dated 9 April 2003.

18 – Final provisions
Without prejudice to the limits established by law, any claim of the buyer due to contractual breaches and/or other breach of obligations by the supplier is excluded in the event of force majeure such as, by way of example but not limited to, mobilization, war, riots and similar events such as fire, accidents, strike, blockage or export restrictions or other events in any case not attributable to the supplier.
The failure by the supplier to exercise its rights under this agreement does not imply a waiver of such rights and does not affect the right of the supplier to exercise such rights subsequently.
The buyer is therefore not exempted from its commitments to fulfil its obligations pursuant to this agreement on time and in full.
The invalidity or ineffectiveness of any of these clauses shall not result in the invalidity or ineffectiveness of this agreement as a whole, which shall therefore continue to be fully effective and binding. The parties undertake to negotiate in good faith and to replace any void or ineffective clauses with those that are not affected by the invalidity or ineffectiveness and whose content complies with the law.
Amendments and integrations to this agreement must be made in writing. All notifications and statements concerning this contractual relationship must be made in writing and sent to the address of the supplier as specified above and to the address of the buyer as specified in the delivery address for the Products.
This agreement voids and replaces any previous agreement, understanding, negotiation, written or verbal, between the parties concerning the subject matter of this agreement.
