1. Information on contract conclusion
In conformity with Legislative Decree of 9th April 2003 no. 70, concerning provisions on electronic trade, Colliniatomi.it informs the user that: in order to conclude the purchase of one or more products on the Website, the user must fill in an online order form and submit it to Colliniatomi.it by electronic means, by following the instructions which accompany the purchase stages on the Website. The contract is concluded when Colliniatomi.it registers the order form, after verifying the accuracy of order and payment data. Before submitting the order form, the user may find and correct any data-entry errors by following the instructions which accompany the purchase stages on the Website. As Colliniatomi.it registers the order form and receives the confirmation of the authorisation to pay the due amount, it will send the user an e-mail with the order confirmation and the payment receipt, containing a summary of the GCoS, information about the characteristics of the purchased product, a detailed indication of price, payment means, modalities for the exercise of the right of withdrawal, shipping charges and any additional costs, as well as the Customer Service indication, to whom the user may address to request assistance and/or lodge complaints. We recommend to keep this e-mail as proof of purchase; the order form will be saved in the database of Coliniatomi.it for the time necessary to process the order, or in any case, within the terms of law. User may consult the “Profile – My orders” Website section to access his order form, where he/she can find all his/her purchase orders.
2. Offer and price validity
Offers published on the Website are limited in duration. The validity period of offer is specified on the Website and notified to the user per e-mail with the announcement of the sale beginning. All product prices are expressed in Euros (€) and include VAT (Value Added Tax) in force in the territory both as regards Italian customers and private customers coming from other European Union countries: all prices report the indication (including VAT). Concerning European Union firms, VAT amount is automatically taken off as soon as they login using their own credentials. Shipping charges and any other additional costs, including VAT and expressed in Euros (€), will be expressly and separately indicated both in the order form before the user proceeds with its submission and in the order confirmation e-mail. The product price may be modified without notice, provided that the price charged to the consumer will be that which was published on the product fiche as the order was sent. Products shall remain the property of Colliniatomi.it until the user has paid the total amount due, i.e. purchase price, shipping charges and any additional costs.
3. Purchase orders and product availability
Colliniatomi.it shall proceed with the purchase order only after having received the authorisation confirmation to pay the total amount due, consisting of purchase price, shipping charges and any additional costs, as stated in the order form. Colliniatomi.it reserves the right to reject any order coming from users who do not provide sufficient guarantees of solvency or with whom there are pending disputes. Products offered on the Website have limited availability; therefore, it may happen that, since many customers could buy the same product at the same time, the ordered product is not available anymore after the submission of the purchase order. In case of product unavailability, the customer will promptly be informed per telephone or per e-mail and he/she will be empowered to decide whether to wait for the ordered goods to be available again or to cancel the order. In the latter case, if the payment has already been made, Colliniatomi.it will refund as soon as possible (or, in any case, within 30 days) the total amount paid by the customer, consisting of purchase price, shipping charges and any other additional costs. The order may also be partially cancelled with an adjustment of shipping charges or additional costs, if necessary. The refund amount will be notified per e-mail and credited using the same means of payment used by the consumer to make the purchase. Any delays in the credit may depend on the bank institution, type of credit card or payment solution used. Regardless, the value date of the payment will be credited back to the date it was paid.

7. Legal warranties and non-conformity of products
Images and colours of products published on the Website may differ form the real ones due to local configuration of systems and/or tools used for their visualisation. Colliniatomi.it undertakes to correct promply all the mistakes in product descriptions on the Website, as soon as the errors are notified to the Customer Service by accessing the “Contacts” section of the Website. All products sold on the Website are covered by Legal Warranty of Conformity provided by articles 128-135 of Legislative Decree No. 206/2005 (Consumer Code) (Legal Warranty). The legal guarantee is for consumers and therefore is to be applied only to private users who purchased on the Website for purposes unrelated to the commercial, craft, entrepreneurial or professional activity in which they are potentially involved. The seller (i.e. Colliniatomi.it, as regards purchases carried out on the Website) shall be liable to the consumer for any conformity defects existing at the time of product delivery and becoming apparent within two (2) years from that delivery. A lack of conformity exists when the purchased product:
- is not suitable to perform the function for which goods of the same type are normally used;
- does not conform to the description provided by the seller and does not possess the features that the seller presented to the consumer as a sample or model;
- does not have the features and performance that are normal for a products of this type, which the consumer could reasonably expect, considering the declarations made in the advertising or on the labelling;
- is not suitable for the specific use desired by the consumer who informed the seller at the time of the contract completion, culminating in the seller’s acceptance of the situation.
Consequently, the application scope of the Legal Warranty does not included any defects or malfunctions which were caused by unanticipated events or due to user’s responsibility, i.e. by any use of the product that does not comply with its intended use and/or the information contained in the technical documentation attached to the product (where existing) or in its user instructions. Also those products that are repaired, modified or in any way altered by the user are excluded by the Legal Warranty. The conformity defect must be reported to the seller within two (2) months from the date of its discovery, otherwise the warranty will no longer be valid. Unless the contrary is proven, any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within six (6) months from product delivery shall be presumed to have existed at that time unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or the nature of the lack of conformity. As from the seventh month subsequent to product delivery, the consumer shall have the burden of proving that the conformity defect existed already at the time of delivery. In order to be able to avail of the Legal Warranty, the user shall therefore first of all provide proof of the purchase and delivery date of the product. For this purposes of this proof, the user shall keep any tax documents that can attest the purchase date (e.g. the credit card statement). In case of conformity defect duly reported within the agreed period of time, the user has the right: firstll, at his/her discretion, to the free repair or replacement of the product, unless the requested solution is objectively impossible or excessively expensive compared to another, and therefore, in this specific case, considering the sale type, to the replacement, if possible in relation to the number of articles still available to be sold; secondly (i.e. if repair or replacement are impossible or prohibitively expensive or the repair or replacement were not carried out within a reasonable time or the repair or replacement previously made has caused significant inconvenience to the consumer) to a price reduction or termination of the contract, at his/her choice. The requested method shall be intended as excessively expensive if it imposes costs on the seller that, in comparison with the alternative remedies, are unreasonable, by taking into account:
- the value which the product would have if there was no conformity defect;
- the extent of the conformity defect;
- the possibility that the alternative remedy can be carried out without considerable inconvenience for the consumer.
In the event that a product purchased on the Website, during the validity period of the Legal Warranty, manifests a possible conformity defect, the user must contact the Customer Service of Colliniatomi.it, by accessing the “Contacts” section of the Website, also to agree upon the shipping methods of the goods. The repair or replacement of defective products, if due, shall be carried out as quickly as possible and, in any case, except for exceptional reasons or force majeure, within forty-five (45) days from the date when Colliniatomi.it received the defective product. In the event of contract termination, Colliniatomi.it shall refund the user the total amount paid, consisting of purchase price, shipping charges and any other additional costs. In case of a price reduction, Colliniatomi.it shall refund the reduction amount, as it has been previously agreed with the user. Alternatively the user may choose to receive a gift card expendable on the Website, whose value equals the refund amount or, respectively, the reduction amount for which he/she is eligible. The refund or reduction amount shall be notified to the user per e-mail and credited using the same means or solution of payment used by the customer for the purchase. Colliniatomi.it shall not be liable for any damages whatsoever, ensuing from the improper use of the product and/or use that does not comply with the instructions provided by the manufacturer, as well as in the case of damage due to fortuitous events or force majeure.
8. Manufacturer’s Conventional Warranty
Depending on their nature, products sold on the Website may be covered by a conventional warranty granted by the manufacturer (i.e., Conventional Warranty). The user may invoke that warranty against the manufacturer only. The duration, the scope – also territorial -, the conditions and use modalities, the kinds of covered damages/defects and the possible limitations of Conventional Warranty depend on the individual manufacturer and are specified in the warranty certificate included in the product packaging. The Conventional Warranty has a voluntary nature and neither is it to be added, nor replaces, limit, prejudice or exclude the Legal Warranty.
9. Liability exclusion in case of force majeure
Colliniatomi.it shall never be liable for non-fulfilment of any of its obligations ensuing form the GCoS herein if such non-fulfilment is caused by fortuitous events and/or force majeure, including without limitations, natural disasters, terrorists attacks, strikes, network and/or power failures.
