  11. Distance selling – right of retraction/cancellation

    You have no right of retraction/cancellation for the supply of goods made to the customer’s specifications or clearly personalized.

    Right to cancel

    You have the right to retract/cancel from the sale contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

    The retraction/cancellation period will expire: (i) after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the products; or (ii) in the case of a sales contract relating to multiple products ordered by you in one order and delivered separately, after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last of the products.

    To exercise the right of retraction/cancellation, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or email).

    You may use the model cancellation form but it is not obligatory. You can also electronically fill in and submit any other clear statement on our Site using the return form (and we encourage you to use the return form for more efficiency in processing the retractions/cancellation). We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation on a durable medium (e.g. by email) without delay.

    To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

    Effects of cancellation

    If you retract/cancel from the sale contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the cost of delivery (except for supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

    We make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling from you.

    We will make the reimbursement without undue delay and not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

    We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

    We will collect the goods in the manner described in the Return Form, and bear the costs related thereto. You are only liable for any diminished value of the products resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristic and functioning of the goods. You should not yourself send back the goods in a manner other than set forth in the Return Form; if you may do so anyhow, you are doing so at your own cost and responsibility.
