If specific products presented on the Site are no longer available or on sale after the order form is submitted, the Seller will duly inform the Customer of this unavailability prior to Confirmation of the Order.

· make sure that the packaging is intact. Otherwise, the Customer must NOT accept the goods, but leave them with the courier. Should this happen, the Customer must promptly inform the Seller in order for the purchased goods to be sent back without delay;
· always write "ACCEPTED WITH RESERVATION" when signing the receipt slip presented by the courier. This will make it simpler and faster to obtain any refunds for damages caused in transport;
· photograph the package – if the products received are damaged or incomplete/incorrect – both outside and inside so that, in the event of a claim, the Seller may request this material in order to verify the actual problem.

The warranty in question is valid only for products purchased by Customers residing in Italy.
