Right of withdrawal
Pursuant to Articles 50, 51, 54, 57, and 59 of Legislative Decree 206/2005, anyone purchasing goods for purposes unrelated to their professional activity (who do not indicate a VAT number) has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract for any reason, without having to provide explanations or pay penalties.
To exercise this right, the Customer has 14 days from receipt of the goods and must notify by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt addressed to:
Especiale by Angela Costanza Conte
Via V. Carpaccio 18 – 52100, Arezzo, Italy
As soon as we receive the notice of withdrawal, we will inform the Customer of the procedures for returning the goods, which must reach us within 10 days of authorization.
The right of withdrawal is subject to the following conditions:
The right of withdrawal applies to the entire product and its accessories; it is not possible to withdraw only on part of the purchased product. Once opened, the purchased good must be intact and well preserved, as must the original packaging and any accessories and accompanying documentation. Upon its arrival in the warehouse, the product will be examined to assess whether there are any damages or other issues not attributable to transport.
The Customer is responsible for shipping the product until its delivery to our premises. The shipping cost is borne by the Customer.
In any case, we are not responsible for damage, theft, loss, or tampering for goods returned with uninsured shipments.
The right of withdrawal lapses for lack or damage of the original external packaging or the original internal packaging, lack or damage of parts, accessories, manuals of the product, or its damage for reasons other than transport.
In this case, the product will be returned to the buyer, who will be charged the shipping costs.
The right of withdrawal is excluded by law in the following case:
For the purchase of items produced or created specifically for the consumer, such as ribbons, napkins, personalized cake toppers, and in general all products that can be customized on the website.
Once the necessary information has been acquired to establish the integrity of the product and all its parts, including packaging, and once integrity has been confirmed, reimbursement of the amount paid by the Customer for the purchase of the product (excluding shipping costs) will be made within 15 days from delivery of the product subject to withdrawal.
The Customer must communicate the bank details (IBAN code) of an account in their name to which the refund will be made.
Legal warranty for lack of conformity
Especiale provides an official warranty for a period of 24 months from the date of purchase, in accordance with Legislative Decree 206/2005.
The Consumer forfeits the right to enforce the warranty if the defect of conformity is not reported within 2 months from its discovery.
The warranty is valid for the following defects:
• the product does not correspond to the agreement;
• the product does not possess the essential characteristics;
• the product does not correspond to ordinary use and quality.
Especiale shall not be held liable for any damages resulting from improper use or wear, handling, or non-professional installation.
The warranty does not apply in cases arising from factors unrelated to the normal use of the product, such as drops, exposure to water or fire, or improper or abusive use by the Customer or by third parties not authorized by the manufacturer. The warranty is also excluded for defects already known to the Customer at the time of purchase. Procedure: Before returning a non-compliant item and in order to exercise the warranty, the Customer must agree—also by e-mail—with the Seller on the return and delivery procedures for the product. Especiale undertakes to inform the Customer of the place and method of shipment. Once the Product has been received, Especiale will carry out the necessary inspection. If a lack of conformity is found, the Customer will receive either the repaired product or a replacement. If, following inspection, the product is found not to have any lack of conformity, Especiale will inform the Customer of the costs required for its repair or replacement. The transport costs for products that do not show any lack of conformity shall be charged to the Customer. In the event of a claim regarding a lack of conformity, Especiale will promptly contact the Customer to provide information and, if applicable, propose replacement of the defective product with an alternative of equivalent or superior value and quality, or a refund.
Payment methods: Payment must be made and notified within 5 working calendar days from receipt of the order confirmation, otherwise it will be considered void. The days required for processing your order will begin from the time payment is received.
