1.2   The term “Buyer” refers to the customer (VAT payer) or natural person consumer (as defined by Article 3 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 206/2005, i.e. the natural person who makes the purchase for purposes not related to the commercial or professional activity possibly carried out).

1.3   The term “Supplier (i.e. operator of the e-commerce site”) refers to the party indicated in the epigraph who transfers the goods or provides the services.

1.4   The term “Contract” refers to the purchase contract entered into between the Supplier and the Buyer, concerning the distance purchase of movable goods (previously “the Products”) through the electronic network, through the website.

1.5   The term “Manufacturer” refers to the manufacturer of the good, as well as the importer of the good to the territory of the European Union or any other natural or legal person who presents themselves as a producer by identifying the good or service with their name, trademark or other distinctive sign.

 

  1. Subject of the contract

 

2.1   With this electronic commerce contract, the Supplier sells and the Buyer purchases remotely through telematic tools the tangible movable goods or services that are listed and offered on the bastiani.shop website.

2.2   The aforementioned goods referred to in the previous point are available on the web page bastiani.it in the dedicated section, which shows the catalogue of the goods offered, contained within the aforementioned website. The products are represented and made visible on the site in an accurate manner and corresponding to the characteristics actually possessed. However, the Supplier is not able to guarantee the exact correspondence to reality in relation to the images and colours as they appear on the customer’s monitor. If there is a difference between the image and the “Product details” part, the written information regarding the product shall prevail.

2.3   The Contract is governed by these general conditions of sale, possibly supplemented for the Consumer Customer by the mandatory provisions of Italian Legislative Decree no. 206/2005 (Consumer Code).

 

  1. The various technical steps to follow for the conclusion of the contract

 

3.1   The contract between the Supplier and the Buyer is concluded exclusively through the Internet network. Once the Buyer has accessed the bastiani.shop address, they must follow the procedures set out on the website itself in order to formalise their acceptance for the purchase of the goods referred to in Article 2 above.

3.2   In detail, the purchase contract is concluded by the exact completion of the acceptance form and the consent to the purchase expressed through the online subscription or by filling in the form attached to the online electronic catalogue at the address bastiani.shop and the subsequent sending of the form itself, always after viewing a web page summarising the order, which is printable and which shows the details of the ordering customer and the order, the price of the purchased goods, shipping costs and any additional ancillary charges, the methods and terms of payment, the address where the goods will be delivered, the delivery time and the existence of the right of withdrawal.

3.3   When the Supplier receives the acceptance of the order from the buyer, it sends a confirmation email or displays a web page of confirmation and summary of the order, which is printable and which also contains the data referred to in the previous point.

3.4   As soon as the payment of the good/service has been received, the Supplier will proceed to issue a relative tax document pursuant to Italian Presidential Decree no. 633/1972 where required by law. In the event that the Buyer wishes to receive an invoice, they must notify the supplier when completing the order. When completing the order, the Buyer must provide in this regard the data relating to their tax code or VAT number.

3.5   This contract will not be considered finalised, and therefore will be ineffective, if the information referred to in the previous points is missing.

3.6   The Buyer undertakes to verify the correctness of the data entered at the time of the order and to print and keep the order summary and any receipt of payments, as well as these general conditions of sale, already viewed and accepted during the purchase process. It is expressly forbidden to enter false and/or invented personal data within the data collection forms necessary for the completion of the order; it is also expressly forbidden to enter data of third parties or make multiple registrations for a single Customer. The Supplier reserves the right to prosecute such actions and any other fraudulent action against it and/or against other Customers.

 

  1. Acceptance of the General terms and conditions of sale

 

4.1   The Buyer, by sending the purchase order electronically, declares that they have read all the indications provided to them during the order procedure and that they fully and unconditionally accept the general conditions.

4.2   The Buyer also acknowledges that the Supplier does not consider itself bound by different conditions unless previously agreed in writing.

4.3   These general conditions may be updated, supplemented or modified, obviously having effect for the future, at any time by the Seller, who will provide notice through the pages of the Site

 

  1. Payment and refund procedures

 

5.1   Any payment for goods purchased by the Buyer may only be made through the payment methods indicated on the Supplier’s website at bastiani.shop. The use of the indicated payment methods does not entail any additional charge for the Buyer, except in the case of “cash on delivery,” for which a fee will be requested.

Credit Card or PayPal: Regarding the method of payment through a PayPal Account, with this service you can choose to pay with the most popular credit cards issued in Italy, or through a PayPal account. The following credit cards are accepted by the PayPal® service: MAESTRO, VISA, VISA ELECTRON, MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS*, DISCOVER, CARTA AURA.

When paying through PayPal, the transaction takes place on a protected server of the company itself. Therefore, the information entered will be managed by PayPal in order to guarantee absolute security.

Through this payment method, the credit card holder provides their data (card number, expiration date, name, etc.) directly to PayPal.

When the Buyer confirms their decision to pay by credit card, the payment page residing on the PayPal secure server appears, where the credit card data is requested. PayPal is also responsible for requesting authorisations from the companies issuing the cards and returning the outcome of the authorisation request to the site, by prompting a response page that provides the buyer with information on the success of the purchase.

There will be no credit card service fee of any kind.

5.2   Any refund to the Buyer will be credited by one of the methods proposed by the Supplier and chosen by the Buyer, in a timely manner and, in case of exercise of the right of withdrawal, as governed by clause 13 of this contract, at the latest within 14 days from the day on which the Supplier became aware of the withdrawal itself. The supplier may withhold the refund until receipt of the item or until the Buyer has provided proof that it has been returned, whichever occurs first.

5.3   All communications relating to payments take place on a special line of the Supplier protected by an encryption system. The Supplier guarantees the storage of this information with a further safety coding level and in compliance with what is required by the regulations currently in force regarding personal data protection.

5.4   The Supplier will issue an invoice/receipt by sending it by e-mail to the Buyer. For the issuance of the invoice/receipt, the information provided by the Buyer will be authentic, and the Buyer shall assume all responsibility for the veracity and/or accuracy of the same. No change in the data will be possible after the issuance of the invoice/receipt.

6.10 In the event of absence of the recipient during delivery, the carrier will leave a notice of passage to the delivery address indicated by the customer. In the event that the recipient is still absent on the second delivery attempt, the product(s) must be picked up at the address and in the manner specified by the carrier.

10.3. The Supplier shall not be held responsible for the consequences resulting from a defective product if the defect is due to compliance of the product with a legal imperative or mandatory provision, or if the state of scientific and technical knowledge at the time in which the producer put the product into circulation did not enable the product to be considered to be defective.

10.4. No compensation shall be due if the injured party has been conscious of the product defect or of the danger deriving therefrom and voluntary exposed themselves nonetheless.

10.5. In any case, the injured party will have to demonstrate the defect, the damage and the causal connection between the defect and the damage.

11.1 The Products purchased are subject to the guarantees provided for by the Italian Civil Code and, if sold to a Consumer Customer, to those provided for by Italian Legislative Decree 206/05 (Articles 128-132). In the first case, the Customer shall benefit from the warranty for defects of the item sold referred to in Articles 1490 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code; the action aimed at enforcing the warranty for defects is prescribed after 1 (one) year from the delivery of the purchased Product and the related defects must be reported in accordance with the terms of Article 1495 of the Italian Civil Code.

11.2 In the case of a Consumer Customer, the Supplier shall be liable for any lack of conformity that occurs within two years of delivery of the goods. For the purposes of this contract, consumer goods shall be deemed in conformity with the contract if, where relevant, the following circumstances coexist: a) they are suitable for the use for which goods of the same type are usually employed; b) they conform to the description given by the seller and possess the qualities of the goods which the seller has presented to the consumer as a sample or model; c) they demonstrate the quality and performance that are usual in goods of the same type, which the consumer can reasonably expect, considering the nature of the goods and, where appropriate, the public statements on the specific characteristics of the goods made in this regard by the seller, the manufacturer, its agent or representative, in particular in advertising or labelling; d) they are also suitable for the particular use intended by the consumer and that the consumer has brought to the attention of the seller at the time the contract was concluded, as well as the seller having also accepted the same as conclusive facts.

11.3. The Buyer forfeits all rights if the Seller is not notified of the fault within two months from the date on which the defect was discovered. The report is not necessary if the seller has recognised the existence of the defect or has concealed it.

11.4. In any case, unless the contrary is proved, it is presumed that any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within six months after delivery of the goods already existed on that date, unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or the nature of the lack of conformity.

11.5. In the event of a lack of conformity, the Buyer may request, alternatively and free of charge, under the conditions indicated below, the repair or replacement of the goods purchased, a reduction in the purchase price or the termination of this contract, unless the request is not objectively impossible to satisfy or is excessively onerous for the Supplier pursuant to Article 130(4) of the Italian Consumer Code.

11.6. The request must be sent in writing, by registered letter with return receipt or by certified or regular electronic mail to the Seller, who will indicate willingness to proceed with the request, or the reasons that prevent it from doing so, within seven working days of receipt. In the same communication message, if the Supplier has accepted the Buyer’s request, the same shall indicate the shipment or return method of the goods, as well as the time frame provided for the return or replacement of defective goods.

11.7. If repair and replacement are impossible or excessively onerous, or if the Supplier has not repaired or replaced the goods within the period referred to in the previous point or, finally, if the replacement or repair previously carried out has caused considerable inconvenience to the Buyer, the latter may request, at its choice, a reasonable reduction in the price or termination of the contract. In this case, the Buyer must send its request to the Supplier, which needs to indicate its agreement to the request or its reasons for not doing so, within seven working days of receipt.

11.8. In the same communication in which the Supplier has accepted the Buyer’s request, it will have to indicate the proposed price reduction or the defective goods return procedures. In such cases, the Buyer is responsible for indicating the method for being reimbursed the sums previously paid to the Supplier.

If the returned items present damage or signs of wear resulting from handling not necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and operation of the same, the Supplier may deduct from the refund an amount corresponding to their decrease in value.

13.5 The return costs shall be borne by the Consumer Customer. The Supplier shall reimburse all payments received from the Consumer Customer, including delivery costs (except for the additional costs deriving from the possible choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive standard delivery offered by the Supplier) without undue delay and in any case no later than 14 days from the day on which the Supplier was informed of the decision to withdraw from the contract.
