The Owner undertakes to describe and present the Products sold on the Application in the best way possible.

Furthermore, any photographs of the Products on the Application do not constitute a contractual element, as they are only representative.

The User expressly grants the Owner the right to accept even partially the order placed (for example, in the event that there is no availability of all the Products ordered). In this case, the contract shall be deemed to have been concluded with respect to the Products actually sold.

The Holder reserves the right to refuse an order:

  1. when the Product is unavailable;
  2. when authorization to charge the User for the cost of the Product is denied;

Should an order exceed the existing quantity in the warehouse, the Holder, by e-mail, will inform the User whether the Product is no longer bookable or what the waiting time is to obtain it, asking whether or not he intends to confirm the order.

The Holder assumes no responsibility for the delay or non-delivery of the Product attributable to force majeure causes such as accidents, explosions, fires, strikes and/or lockouts, earthquakes, floods and other similar events that would prevent, in whole or in part, to give execution in the agreed time.

11. Conformity Warranty.

All Products that fall under the category of “consumer goods”, as governed by art. 128, 2nd paragraph of the Consumer Code, sold through the Application are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity provided for in articles 128-135 of the Consumer Code. The legal guarantee of conformity is reserved for Consumers. It, therefore, finds application, only to Users who have made the purchase through the Application for purposes unrelated to the entrepreneurial, commercial, artisan or professional activity possibly carried out.

To those who have purchased on the Application and who do not have the quality of Consumers will be applied the warranties for the defects of the thing sold, the warranty for defect of promised and essential qualities and the other warranties provided for by the Civil Code with the related terms, forfeitures and limitations (Articles 1490 et seq. c.c.).

A lack of conformity that becomes apparent within 24 months from the date of purchase of the Product must be reported within 2 months from the date of discovery of the defect.

Unless proven otherwise, defects of conformity that become apparent within six months of delivery of the Product shall be presumed to have existed on that date, unless such presumption is inconsistent with the nature of the Product or the nature of the conformity defect. After the six months, it will be the User’s responsibility to provide proof that the damage did not originate from misuse or improper use of the Product.

Pursuant to Article 130 of the Consumer Code, in the event of a lack of conformity of the Product, the User has the right to have the Product restored to conformity, without charge. To this end, the User may normally choose between the repair of the Product or its replacement. This right of choice may not be exercised if the remedy sought is objectively impossible or excessively onerous. In addition, the User shall only be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or termination of the contract if one of the following situations occurs: i) repair and replacement are impossible or excessively burdensome; ii) the Owner has failed to repair or replace within a reasonable period of time; iii) the replacement or repair has caused significant inconvenience to the consumer.

If the User wishes to take advantage of the remedies under the legal warranty accompanying the Products, the User should contact the Owner at info@tenutabuontempo.it. The Owner will promptly acknowledge the communication of the alleged conformity defect and will indicate to the User the specific procedure to be followed, also taking into account the product category to which the Product belongs and/or the reported defect.
