If the party that is proceeding to the purchase is not in possession of such requirements, the same should refrain from forwarding the purchase order.
1.2 The agreement will be exclusively concluded through the Internet, by the Customer’s access to the Site shop.arteni.it and the placement of a purchase order in accordance with the procedure indicated by the same Site.
The Consumer agrees, before proceeding to place a purchase order for the Products, to examine these general sales conditions and the information on the right of withdrawal, and to accept them in an express manner. Each purchase of Products shall be regulated by these general sales conditions in the version that is published on the Site at the time that the order is transmitted by the Consumer to Arteni, as indicated under article 2 below.
1.3 In order to make a purchase on the Site shop.arteni.it it is necessary to be of age (18 years old), and the Consumer states that s/he is of age.
Art. 2 – Conclusion of the agreement
2.1 The display of the Products on the Site represents a mere invitation addressed to the Consumer for the submission of a contractual proposal for the purchase.

The Consumer declares to entirely accept these conditions.
In order to be able to transmit a purchase order for the Products, through the procedure indicated on the Site, the Consumer will be required to carefully read these general sales conditions and the information on the right of withdrawal, and to expressly accept these general sales conditions. Before finally sending the purchase order, the Consumer will be required to verify the data entered in the same order, and s/he may change or amend them from any data entry error.
2.3 The agreement for the purchase of products will be considered to have been executed once the Consumer is sent an order confirmation e-mail, at the electronic mail address declared by the same to Arteni upon the registration to the Site. Such e-mail will contain the details of the same consumer and the order number, the information relevant to the features of the Products ordered, the selected methods of payment, the shipping costs, the method and address of delivery, as well as the text of these general sales conditions. The Consumer is advised to print a copy of these general sales conditions, and/or to store a copy thereof on a durable medium of his/her choice.

3.1 The Products presented on the Site may be purchased by selecting the Products of interest to the Consumer and adding them to the virtual shopping cart.
3.2 The availability of the Products and the time of delivery indicated on the Site are however to be considered as merely indicative. There is a possibility that even after the transmission of the order confirmation e-mail by Arteni, cases of unavailability of the Products may occur, even temporarily. In such events, Arteni will send an e-mail notice to the consumer and will refund any amounts already paid by the Consumer in consideration for the Product, by the same method of payment – where possible – as used by the Consumer upon the purchase of the Product. If this is not possible, the refund will be made by bank transfer. The Consumer will be responsible for providing the necessary bank details to Arteni, by e-mail at the address [email protected], so that this latter can make the transfer in favor of the Consumer and is put in a condition to return the amount due. No other claims may be advanced by the Consumer at any title, either as indemnification and/or as compensation of damages, including non-pecuniary damages.

3.4 Once the selection of the Products is completed, in order to carry out the purchase of the Products added to the cart, the Consumer will be invited to register to the Site, by providing the necessary data, or to log in, if the Consumer is already registered. The Consumer will view a summary of his/her order and may modify the relevant contents. The Consumer will then carefully read these general sales conditions and must expressly approve them by ticking the relevant checkboxes that are present on the Site.
3.4 Lastly, through the button “order with obligation to pay”, the Consumer will be requested to confirm his/her order, which will thus be finally sent to Arteni and will produce the effects described above, in art. 2 of these general sales conditions.

Pursuant to the law, Arteni may suspend the refund until it receives the goods or until the Consumer proves that s/he has reshipped the Products to Arteni.

8.1. To the effects and purposes of the European Directive 44/99/EC and of arts. 128 and ff. of the Italian Legislative Decree no. 206/2005 (Consumer Code), the Products purchased by the Consumer are covered by a legal warranty of conformity that extends to the defects of conformity of the Products for a maximum period of 24 (twenty-four) months after the delivery of the Products to the Consumer. The legal warranty of conformity allows the Consumer, in case of defects of conformity of the Product, to obtain the repair or replacement of the product (if and insofar as it is possible), by addressing Arteni directly, within a reasonable time, keeping the nature of the Product into consideration. As an alternative, the Consumer may request the reduction of the price or the termination of the agreement.

8.3. After receiving the report under art. 8.2 above, and the relevant documentation, Arteni will assess the defects and non-conformities reported by the Consumer and will decide whether to authorize the return of the Products. In this case, it will send the Consumer a reply containing the Return Code and the instructions to reship the Product, via electronic mail at the address provided by this latter during the process of registration to the Site. The authorization to return the Products will not imply in any way an admission of the defects or non-conformities. Their existence will have to be verified after the return. The Products for which Arteni has authorized the return will be delivered by the Consumer at his/her own cost, together with a copy of the notice of authorization of return that contains the Return Code. The delivery will have to be made within 30 (thirty) days of the non-conformity report, at the following address: Arteni S.p.A. with registered office in 33010 Tavagnacco (UD), via Nazionale 135 - Italy.

Arteni will send a reply to the Consumer via electronic mail at the address of the Consumer as provided upon registration to the Site. If the non-conformity of the Product is confirmed, Arteni will proceed to refund the Consumer for the shipping costs incurred for the redelivery of the non-conforming Product and, at no additional cost to the Consumer, to repair the product or replace it with a new Product at the discretion of Arteni. In this latter case, the non-conforming Product replaced will remain the property of the same Arteni. If the product cannot be replaced or repaired, Arteni will refund the Consumer for the price paid for the Product. Such refund will be made, where possible, by the same method of payment as used by the Consumer upon the purchase of the Product, or otherwise by bank transfer. The Consumer will be responsible for providing the necessary bank details to Arteni, by e-mail at the address [email protected], so that this latter can make the transfer in favor of the Consumer and is put in a condition to return the amount due.
8.5. The application of any warranty is excluded in case of use or washing of the Products that are unsuitable in view of the nature of the Products or not in line with those indicated in the Instructions/warnings provided in this regard by Arteni and/or by the Manufacturer of the Products purchased, or reported in the tags or labels attached to the same Products.
