GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE

1. PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT

1.1 These General Conditions of Sale (the 'General Conditions') have been drawn up in accordance with Title III, Part I of Legislative Decree No. 206 of 6 September 2005 (the Consumer Code) and govern the sale by Excelsior Milano S.r.l. Excelsior, registered office Via Terraglio 17, Venezia-Mestre (VE), tax code and VAT No. 04391470277 ('ExcelsiorExcelsior') - to the end-consumers purchasing (the 'Clients') the products (the 'Products') marketed via the dedicated area of the website www.excelsiormilano.com (the 'Site'). 

For the purposes of these General Conditions, 'end consumer' shall mean any individual acting for purposes other than any entrepreneurial, commercial or professional activity or handicraft exercised or carried on. 

Information about these General Conditions and/or purchases made on the basis of the same can be obtained by completing the assistance request form to be found on the relevant area of the Site [www.excelsiormilano.com/contact]. 

2. PROCEDURE FOR CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT 

2.1 The information and details set out in the area of the Site that specifically deals with e-commerce shall not be treated as an offer and instead simply comprise an invitation to Clients to conclude business by submitting an offer to purchase. 

The Client makes an offer to purchase the Products when the order form in electronic format that the Client is required to complete and confirm in the order summary screen is sent. 

The offer to purchase must not contain more than 50 Products. 

Where the Client requires an invoice, this option must be selected in the order form. 

The Client may also provide a delivery address that is different to the address given as part of the personal details provided. 

The Client must only confirm and submit the order as final at the end of the purchase process, by clicking on the "Ordine con obbligo di pagare" [Order with obligation to pay] button that appears on the last page of the purchase procedure. 

Once the order form has been sent as final, a page will appear that sets out a summary of the order; an e-mail confirming receipt of the order will also be sent. 

By sending the order form, the Client accepts that any purchase contract will be governed by these General Conditions. 

2.2 Orders are subject to acceptance by Excelsior, who reserves the right to refuse, at its sole discretion, any order submitted where: 

  • the information provided by the Client when completing the order form is incomplete or incorrect; 
  • the Client does not qualify as an end consumer or is unable to comply with the terms of payment;  
  • the Products ordered are unavailable. In such circumstances, Excelsior will not be liable for changes in availability of certain Products. Where only a certain number of the Products ordered are unavailable and there are no other grounds for a legitimate refusal to accept the order submitted, Excelsior shall be entitled to process the order submitted solely in relation to those Products that are in fact available.

In the circumstances set out above, Excelsior will inform the Client via e-mail that the order submitted has not been accepted (in whole or in part), explaining why, and the contract will not, therefore, be concluded. In such circumstances Excelsior will reimburse the Client with any amounts that the Client has already paid. 

2.3 The purchase contract between the Client and Excelsior will only be concluded when the Client's order has been accepted by Excelsior. In such circumstances, Excelsior will send the Client confirmation that the order is being processed, using the e-mail address provided by the Client.  

3. PRICES AND TERMS OF PAYMENT 

3.1. The sale prices for the Products and the Services and the delivery charges and methods of payment are as set out on the Site and are in euros. 

The sale prices for the Products include VAT but do not include delivery charges, which will be calculated before the order is sent by the Client and will be added to the final amount due. 

Excelsior reserves the right to change the prices set out on the Site at any time; price changes will not, however, apply to Products in orders that have already been sent by the Client.

In no circumstances will Excelsior be held liable for any price changes. 

3.2 The Client undertakes to pay the price of the Products purchased via one of the following payment methods: 

  • Credit card online: payment with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Diners. 

Credit card payments are handled directly by Cybersource secure servers that use protocols with 128-bit SSL encryption protocols, with the security of online transactions thereby guaranteed. This means that the Client's credit card details are not disclosed to Excelsior.

Once the order submitted has been received, Excelsior will submit a pre-authorisation request on the Client's credit card in order to ensure that the Client has sufficient funds available to complete the transaction. 

Credit cards will be subject to checks and authorisation by the card issuer. Excelsior will not be held liable for a failure by the card issuer in question to provide authorisation. 

Once the contract has been concluded in accordance with Clause 2 above, the debit on the credit card will become final, without prejudice to the mandatory rules concerning the right of withdrawal and/or the statutory guarantee. 

  • Paypal

4. DISPATCH OF PRODUCTS 

4.1. The Products will be delivered within the timeframe and in accordance with the delivery service selected by the Client from amongst the options provided on the Site. 

The costs of transport will be borne by the Client. They will be calculated before the order is sent by the Client and may vary on the basis of the delivery service chosen in advance and the quantity of the Products purchased. 

Once the Products have been dispatched, Excelsior will inform the Client by e-mail of this, explaining how to track progress. 

Where dispatch is delayed for reasons beyond Excelsior 's control, the Client will be advised promptly by Excelsior's customer care team.

In such circumstances, Excelsior will promptly notify the Client of the new timescale for delivery and shall make every effort to comply with its obligations in full as established in the contract. 

For the purposes of these General Conditions, delivery will be deemed to have taken place upon signature confirming receipt of the products at the delivery address agreed upon. 

5. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL 

5.1 The Client is entitled to withdraw from the contract concluded with Excelsior without giving any reason within 30 days from the date on which the Client, or a third party other than the carrier (courier) and appointed by the Client, takes physical possession of the Products ordered. Where a contract relates to a number of products ordered by the Client in one single order and delivered separately, the withdrawal period will expire 30 days from the day on which the Client, or a third party other than the carrier (courier) and appointed by the Client, takes physical possession of the last of the products. 

5.2 In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the Client must expressly notify Excelsior of its decision to withdraw from the contract. To do so, the Client can:

6.1 In case of withdrawal from the contract entered into with Excelsior, any payments made to Excelsior will be reimbursed to the Client, net of any discounts and/or promotional offers, including delivery costs, without any undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which Excelsior was informed of the Client's decision to withdraw from the contract. The reimbursement may in any event be withhold until receipt of the Products or until the Client has supplied evidence that the Products have been sent back, whichever is the earliest. 

Reimbursements will be processed using the same means of payment used by the Client for the original transaction, save where agreed otherwise with Excelsior. The Client will not, however, incur any costs as a result of the said reimbursement. 

Where the recipient of the Products as stated in the order form and the person who paid the amounts due for the purchase of the Products are not the same, where the right of withdrawal is exercised, Excelsior shall reimburse the person who made payment.

In particular, before returning the Products, the Client is required to check that the Products in relation to which the withdrawal right has been exercised are in a normal state of preservation, still in their original wrapping and intact (including packaging and accompanying documentation).
