Furthermore, the images of the Product present in the Product Sheet may be different for vintage and/or dimensions or in relation to any accessory products. These images must therefore be interpreted as indicative. For the purpose of the purchase contract, the description of the Product contained in the order form transmitted by the user will be considered valid.

7. AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS

7.1 The products presented on the Site are limited in number. It may therefore happen, also due to the possibility that several users buy the same Product at the same time, that the ordered Product is no longer available after the transmission of the purchase order.

7.2 In any case of unavailability of the ordered Product, without prejudice to the rights attributed to the user by the law, and, in particular, by Chapter XIV of Title II of Book IV of the Civil Code, the user will be promptly informed by e-mail or by phone. The user will then be entitled to terminate the contract, pursuant to and in line with the provisions of art. 61, IV and V comma, of the Consumer Code. In the event that the user makes use of the right of resolution pursuant to art. 61, IV and V comma, Consumer Code, or in any case in which the payment of the Total Amount Due has already occurred, Argalà will reimburse this amount without undue delay and, in any case, within the maximum period of 15 working days from the date of payment. This amount will normally be credited to the same payment method used by the user for the purchase or the different means agreed between the user and Argalà. Possible delays in crediting may depend on the bank, the type of credit card or the payment solution adopted.

7.3 In the case of orders relating to multiple Products (Multiple Order), if the unavailability occurs only for some Products object of the Multiple Order, without prejudice to the rights attributed to the user by law, and in particular by Chapter XIV of Title II of Book IV of the Civil Code, and without prejudice to the application of art. 7.2, Callmewine will immediately notify the user of such fact by e-mail or telephone. The user will therefore be entitled to terminate the contract, limited to the Product (s) that has become unavailable, pursuant to and for the purposes of the provisions of art. 61, IV and V comma, of the Consumer Code. In the event that the user makes use of the right to terminate as per art. 61, IV and V paragraph, Consumer Code, in relation to the product/s that has become unavailable or in any case in which the payment of the Total Amount Due has already occurred, Argalà will refund the amount due in relation to such Product (s), including delivery costs and any other additional costs due in connection with these Products (Due Partial Amount) without undue delay and, in any case, within the maximum period of 15 working days from the moment of sending the order. The refund amount will be communicated to the user by e-mail or telephone. This amount will be credited through the same payment method used by the user for the purchase or via the means eventually agreed between the parties. Possible delays in crediting may depend on the bank, the type of credit card or the payment solution adopted. The resolution of the whole Multiple Order will be possible only in the case of evident and proven ancillary nature of the Products object of the Multiple Order that become unavailable compared to the other Products object of the Multiple Order that are available.

8. DELIVERY OF PURCHASED PRODUCTS

8.1 The amount of delivery costs due by the user in relation to a specific order, is expressly and separately indicated (in Euro and inclusive of VAT) during the purchase process, in the order summary and, in any case, before the user proceeds to the transmission of the same. In the event of failure to indicate a specific delivery date, it shall in any case take place within thirty days from the date of conclusion of the contract.

8.2 The delivery obligation is fulfilled at the moment of transferring the material availability or otherwise by the control of the Products to the user. It is up to the user to check the conditions of the Product that has been delivered to him/her or that he/she has withdrawn. Notwithstanding that the risk of loss or damage of the Products, for reasons not attributable to Argalà, is transferred to the user when the user, or a third party designated and different from the carrier, physically comes into possession of the Product, is recommended that the user checks the number of Products received and that the packaging is intact, undamaged, not wet or otherwise altered, also regarding packaging materials like tapes and the user is invited, in his interest, to indicate on the carrier’s transport document any anomalies, accepting the package “with RESERVE” (user must write “Reserve” and the reason of it). The receipt of the Products without express “Reserve” written, in fact, does not allow the user to take legal action against the courier and/or Argalà, in the event of loss or damage of the Products, except in the event that the loss or damage is due to fraud or gross negligence of the courier and except for partial loss or damage not recognizable at the time of delivery, provided that in the latter case, the damage is reported as soon as it becomes known and no later than eight days after receipt. In the event that the package shows evident signs of tampering or alteration, it is also recommended that the user promptly notifies Argalà Customer Service. In any case, the application of the rules on the right of withdrawal and the legal guarantee of conformity remains valid.
