PREAMBLE
Always keen to respond to its Customers' demands – in particular at this time when, due to government regulations aimed at limiting the spread of Coronavirus, many of our stores are closed or some of our Customers are unable to reach them – the company Santoni S.p.A. (hereinafter simply referred to as “Santoni” for the sake of brevity) has decided to provide its Customers with a remote telephone sales service (hereinafter simply referred to as the “Service”), in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below (hereinafter also referred to as the “Terms and Conditions”).
The Service has been developed in full compliance with Italian legislation on distance selling, in particular with Articles 45 et seq. of Legislative Decree no. 206/2005 (the Italian Consumer Code), and presupposes a proactive approach by the Customer contacting Santoni of their own accord to place their requests. Santoni does not call Customers spontaneously to offer distance sales of products, except in response to a request previously received from the Customer.

In any event, deliveries to be made outside of Italy may be subject to variations in shipping costs and delivery times compared to those specified.

7.4. The shipping times indicated by Santoni are provided as a guide only: if the shipment arrives after these times or if the order is delivered in several shipments, this does not give the Customer the right to refuse the delivery or to request a reimbursement and/or compensation.
7.5. When the Products are delivered, the Customer is required to check:
that the number of packages corresponds to the number indicated in the transport document;
that the packaging is intact and is not damaged, wet or altered in any way, including the fastening (adhesive tape or metal).
If the Customer discovers that the packaging and/or the Product is damaged or the number of packages does not correspond to the transport document, they must indicate this immediately on the Product transport document and return this document to the courier.
7.6. If there are problems with the physical integrity of the Products, if the Products do not match those ordered or if there are any missing Products, such issues must be raised within 8 (eight) days from the date of receipt in line with the complaints procedure specified in this document.
8. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
8.1. Pursuant to Article 52 of the Italian Consumer Code, the Customer may withdraw from these Terms and Conditions of sale and therefore from the purchase contract for any reason, with no need to provide an explanation and without any penalty, within 14 (fourteen) working days (30 (thirty) days for the US) from the date of receipt of the Products.
8.2. In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer must send Santoni a notice to this effect, within the above time limits, by sending an email to the address of the Store where the purchase was made; after which Santoni will send a return confirmation to the Customer, also by email.
8.3. In the event of withdrawal, the Customer must return the Products to Santoni at their own expense within 14 (fourteen) days of sending the withdrawal notice.
8.4. The Products must not be returned until the return confirmation has been received and they must only be sent to the address of the Store where the purchase was made.
8.5. The goods must be returned intact with all their parts and in their original packaging (bags and boxes), preserved and used only for the time strictly necessary to reasonably establish and verify their condition, characteristics and size, with no signs of wear or dirt, in compliance with the following conditions:
the Customer may only exercise their right of withdrawal in relation to Products purchased in their own interests; the Customer may not exercise their right of withdrawal in relation to a part of the Product purchased (e.g. accessories, etc.);
the purchased Product must be intact and returned in its original packaging in its entirety with all its parts (including packaging and any documentation and accessories: labels, tags, seals, etc.);
all shipping costs (and customs fees, if any) incurred in returning the goods will be borne exclusively by the Customer;
until the goods have been received at the Store, the shipment shall remain the full responsibility of the Customer;
Santoni shall not be held responsible under any circumstances for any damage, theft or loss that occurs during or as a result of the return shipping.
8.6. Santoni shall reimburse the Customer for the full amount paid within 14 (fourteen) days of receipt of the notice of the withdrawal by way of a transfer of the debited amount, using the same payment method used by the Customer for the initial transaction. In any case, the Customer shall not incur any costs as a result of such reimbursement. Pursuant to Article 56, paragraph 3, of the Italian Consumer Code, Santoni may withhold reimbursement until the returned Product is received, or until the Customer can prove that they have returned the Product in the correct manner, whichever occurs first.
8.7. In any case, the Customer will forfeit the right of withdrawal in cases where Santoni ascertains that:
the returned Product and/or its accessories and/or its packaging are not intact;
the Product is missing its external packaging and/or the original internal packaging;
the Product is missing any integral elements and/or accessories (for example fasteners, laces, buckles, etc.).
8.8. In case of forfeiture of the right of withdrawal, Santoni will return the Product to the Customer, charging the shipping costs and, if already reimbursed, the price of the Product itself.
9. PRODUCT GUARANTEE
9.1. All Products sold by Santoni are covered by a 24 (twenty four) month guarantee against inherent defects. To benefit from the guarantee, Customers must retain their invoice or payment receipt, together with the shipping document, and report any such defect promptly, or in any case no later than 2 (two) months from its discovery, by sending an email to Santoni at storeservice@santonishoesit.com
9.2.The guarantee against inherent defects shall apply provided that the Product in question has been used correctly, in accordance with its intended use and in compliance with the instructions for use and care instructions supplied in and/or with the Product.
9.3. Should the inherent defect become apparent within 6 (six) months from delivery, it is presumed that this defect was already present at the time of purchase.
9.4. If, on the other hand, the inherent defect becomes apparent more than 6 (six) months but within two years from delivery, the Customer must prove that the damage is related to a defect that existed at the time of delivery.
9.5. In the event that, for any reason, Santoni is unable to provide the Customer with a Product under guarantee (repaired or replaced), or if the repair or replacement is, in view of the value of the Product, excessively expensive, Santoni may adjust the price paid accordingly, or refund the full amount paid and terminate the contract.
9.6. Where the guarantee requires the Product to be returned, it must be returned by the Customer in its original packaging, complete in all its parts (including packaging and any documentation and accessories).
