The registration credentials shall be kept with utmost care and attention, shall be used by the User only and shall not be transferred to any third party.

3.3 Registered Users can access the Website by entering their username and password in the login page.

3.4 Once authenticated, to make a purchase, the User shall follow the following procedure: Select the Products to be purchased by clicking the corresponding icons displayed on the “Product” page. Such page can be accessed from the following Website sections:

  • “Product Listing Page”
  • “Search Result Page”

  • “Recently Viewed carousel”
  • “Wish list” (if the User has added any Products by clicking the “Wish List” icon)

After having selected the Products, choose the size and colour. The selected Products can be changed by clicking the preview.

Then click “Add to cart”.

Now the User can:

  1. purchase other products by closing the “Mini cart” by clicking the “X” or any point outside the “Mini cart”. The User can return to the Cart at any time by clicking the relevant icon in the top right of the screen;
  2. check the content of the Cart (i.e., list of selected Products, quantity, and subtotal) by clicking “View cart”;

Select the shipping method by entering a new shipping address or selecting a previously saved shipping address. The Website shows the various shipping options together with the relevant costs and estimated delivery time.

Click the “Proceed to payment” icon.

Select the preferred payment method among the ones shown on the Website.

Click “Review Order”.

At this stage, the User can modify all the order parameters that he/she has entered (shipping address, billing address, payment method, and content of the cart).

When proceeding with Checkout to complete the order process, click “Secure Checkout”, then select the “Checkout as a guest” icon and fill in the email field.

 

4. Execution of the Contract

4.1 The Contract entered into through the Website shall be deemed executed when GIANVITO ROSSI sends to the Buyer the formal Order Confirmation by email. Indeed, the receipt of an Order shall not imply its acceptance by GIANVITO ROSSI.

4.2 The receipt of an Order shall not bind the Seller until the Seller has sent the relevant Order Confirmation by email. It is to note that, upon receipt of an Order placed by the Buyer, the system may automatically send an order receipt acknowledgement email summarising the order received, which however shall not be deemed as a formal acceptance of the order.

4.3 The Buyer expressly agrees that the Seller shall be entitled to accept the Order just partially (for example when some ordered products are not available). In that case, the Contract shall be deemed executed only for the products actually sold.

4.4 The Contract shall be deemed executed in the place where the Seller has its registered office.

4.5 Pursuant to the Italian government decree no. 70/2003, GIANVITO ROSSI informs the Buyer that the form containing the Order shall be stored in the GIANVITO ROSSI database for as long as necessary to carry out the order and, in any case, according to the time limits laid down by law.

To access their Order form, registered Users can consult the Website section “Account overview – Order History”.

4.6 For the execution of the Contract, the languages available to Users shall be Italian, French, German, English, and Russian.

 

5. Non-acceptance and cancellation of Orders

5.1 The Website is only aimed at the sale of Products by GIANVITO ROSSI to End consumers. Therefore, it is not allowed to purchase Products for resale purposes.

5.2 The execution of the Orders is also subject to the availability of the Products.

5.3 Therefore, GIANVITO ROSSI reserves the right to not accept or to cancel any Orders by informing the Buyer thereof in writing:

  • if Orders are deemed anomalous considering the quantity of products being ordered or the frequency of the purchases;
  • if Orders have been placed by someone involved in any kind of fraud or that has provided false or incomplete identification data;
  • if billing information is not correct or cannot be checked;
  • Orders which present inconsistencies that makes it impossible to process them;
  • due to force majeure;
  • if Products are not available.

5.4 The availability of the Products is continuously checked and updated by GIANVITO ROSSI. However, GIANVITO ROSSI shall not guarantee the availability of the Product selected by the User as it may happen that several Users purchase the same Product at the same time. In that case, for a short period of time the Product may seem available, while it is actually out of stock or not immediately available since it must be restocked.

5.5 If the Product is unavailable due to the above-mentioned reasons or for any other reasons, GIANVITO ROSSI shall immediately inform the Buyer of the order cancellation by email.

If the Product is going to be restocked, GIANVITO ROSSI may propose the Buyer a postponement of delivery terms, without prejudice to the Buyer’s right to not accept such change.

5.6 In any case of non-acceptance and/or cancellation of an order, if the Total (as defined below under art. 7.3 of these GTS) has already been paid, GIANVITO ROSSI shall refund it within 15 calendar days from the date of the email informing the User of the Order cancellation, without prejudice to any other terms requested by the provider of the card used for payment. The refund shall be made using the same means of payment used by the User for the purchase. In the event of payment by bank transfer, the refund shall be made by bank transfer and for that purpose GIANVITO ROSSI shall ask the User the necessary bank details.

5.7 The Buyer shall be entitled to cancel the Order by sending an email to the Seller’s email address within 1 hour from the placement of the Order (“Cancellation term”). Following the cancellation of the Order within the Cancellation term, the amount pre-authorized by the Buyer for the relevant payment shall be released and GIANVITO ROSSI shall not charge it.

 

6. Information on the Products

The main characteristics of each Product are summarised in the Order Confirmation. The images and descriptions available on the Website reproduce as close as possible the characteristics of the Products. However, the colours of the Products may differ from the real ones due to the settings of the computer systems or computers being used by the Users to view them. Moreover, the images of the Products available in the Product Details may differ as to size or any accessories. Therefore, such images shall be deemed as merely indicative and within the normal tolerance range. For the purposes of the Contract, the Product description contained in the Order Confirmation form transmitted to the User shall apply.

 

7. Prices

7.1 Prices are expressed in Euro but may be also expressed in the various currencies of the Countries where GIANVITO ROSSI sells the Products through the Website.

7.2 The prices published on the Website may not be the final prices and therefore they shall be always deemed as merely indicative and subject to the Seller's express confirmation by email.

7.3 The final sale prices are inclusive of VAT (the Website shows both the price net of VAT and the price inclusive of VAT which shall be deemed as the final price) and net of delivery charges. In any case, the total cost due by the Buyer, which includes price of the Products, delivery charges and any additional cost (“Total”), is shown to the Buyer in the Order generated during the purchasing process when the User clicks the “Review Order” icon. All costs not charged directly by GVR, such as for example customs costs in case of non-EU deliveries, are not part of the Total Cost Due.

7.4 GIANVITO ROSSI reserves the right to change the price of the Products at any time without notice, it being understood that, if an Order is confirmed, the price charged to the Buyer shall be the one shown on the Website upon placement of the Order, without taking into account any subsequent changes (i.e., any price increases or decreases).

 

8. Ownership

8.1 The Products shall remain the property of GIANVITO ROSSI until payment of the Total due by the User. If the Total due is not paid or if the payment is not successful, the Order shall be cancelled or, if the Order Confirmation has already been sent to the Buyer, the Contract shall be deemed terminated by law pursuant to art. 1456 of the Italian Civil Code, and GIANVITO ROSSI shall inform the Buyer thereof by email.

 

9. Delivery of the Products

9.1 GIANVITO ROSSI shall deliver to the Buyer at the Buyer’s delivery address the Products ordered according to the procedures specified in the above articles by means of trustworthy couriers and/or forwarding agents. The Products shall be delivered within the times stated in the Order Confirmation and specified in the Website section on delivery terms. Delivery times are calculated considering only the working days, thus excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and bank holidays.

9.2 When included in the delivery options available on the Website, the User may choose the delivery of the Products at a boutique by clicking “Store pickup”.

9.3 The Seller shall not be liable for any delayed delivery or non-delivery due to the impossibility of finding the Buyer, force majeure, or any fortuitous event.

9.4 Upon receipt, the Buyer shall verify the conformity of the Product received against the Order placed.

The Buyer shall sign the delivery documents only after such check, without prejudice to the right of withdrawal under art. 11 of these GTS.

9.5 The Products purchased on the Website may be delivered to all countries from which it is possible to place an Order on the Website, regardless of the User’s nationality, place of residence or place of establishment, within the borders of the State associated to the country in which the User navigates the website at the moment of making the Order (the “Country of Navigation”), regardless of his/her nationality, place of residence or place of establishment. The User shall thus enter in the order form a shipping address located within the borders of the State associated to the Country of Navigation. Otherwise, GIANVITO ROSSI is not required to make the delivery and reserves the right to Cancel the Order. 

9.6 Upon delivery of the Products to the forwarding agent, the Buyer shall be sent a shipping confirmation email containing a link and/or a code to track the shipment

 

10. Right of withdrawal – Product replacement – Returns and Refunds

10.1 The Buyer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Contract without stating any reason within 14 days (“Withdrawal term”) from the date of delivery of the Product to the Buyer or to any third party specified by the Buyer other than the courier, or, in the event of a multiple Order with several deliveries, within 14 days from the last delivery.

10.2 To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Buyer shall send to GIANVITO ROSSI by email to the email address customercare@gianvitorossi.com an unequivocal statement setting out his/her decision to exercise his/her right of withdrawal.

10.3 The information on how to exercise the right of withdrawal shall be summarised by GIANVITO ROSSI to the Buyer both in the Order Confirmation and on the Product packaging.

10.4 Following the exercise of the right of withdrawal, the Buyer shall return the Products to GIANVITO ROSSI without undue delay and in any event within no later than 14 calendar days from the date on which the Buyer has notified his/her decision to withdraw from the Contract. The Product shall be deemed to have been returned upon delivery, within the above term, to the courier specified by GIANVITO ROSSI (“Return term”).

10.5 To make a return following the exercise of the right of withdrawal, the Buyer shall follow the procedure described below, which is also set out by GIANVITO ROSSI in the information made available to the User on the Website, in the Order Confirmation as well as on the Product packaging (“Withdrawal instructions”).

10.6 The Product may be returned at a boutique, if such option is available on the Website, or by shipping it to GIANVITO ROSSI to the address Gianvito Rossi S.r.l., Online Warehouse, Via San Crispino 2, 47030 San Mauro Pascoli (FC), Italy. To proceed with the shipment of the pack you can ask for assistance to GIANVITO ROSSI ’s Customer Care, or, alternatively, use the return label if provided by the courier or it can be generated directly by the User where the function is available on the Website.

10.7 Except for the return at a boutique, the Buyer shall be required to contact the Customer Care whenever the Products to be returned shall go through the customs. In that case, the Buyer shall provide to the Customer Care all the information required to create the customs documents necessary for shipment, which shall be downloaded and provided to the Buyer by the Customer Care.

10.8 The return shall be made using the courier indicated by GIANVITO ROSSI. If the buyer decides to use a different courier, the costs shall be incurred by him, and GIANVITO ROSSI shall not be held liable for any damage, loss, or delay in the return.  

The Buyer shall return the Products from the same country to which they were delivered.

The Buyer is required to pay particular attention in packaging the Products to return. If the Products returned have been damaged due to incorrect packaging, GIANVITO ROSSI shall reserve the right to refuse the return.

10.9 The Products must be returned to GIANVITO ROSSI intact, complete and in the same condition in which they were received, with all the accessories and illustrated leaflets, with the identification tags and labels where present still attached to the Product and not tampered with. The garments to return may not have been used in any way by the Buyer except in the measure necessary to decide whether to keep them or not (by way of example, shoes can be measured but not worn). Footwear returned without a box, inside a damaged box, with the sole showing clear signs of wear or in case of components missing (like the protective bag) may not be accepted: they shall be re-shipped to the delivery address used in the original order. 

10.10 The Buyer shall be liable to GIANVITO ROSSI for any decline in value of the Products resulting from any manipulation/use of the Products other than the one required to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Products.

10.11 As a result of the withdrawal, GIANVITO ROSSI shall refund to the Buyer the Total, including delivery charges (except for any additional costs resulting from the Buyer's choice of a type of delivery (e.g. express delivery) different from the cheaper standard type of delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event within no later than 14 days from the date on which GIANVITO ROSSI has received the notice of withdrawal, subject in any case to the prior receipt and check of the integrity of the returned Products, except in case of any longer terms required by the payment card provider to credit the relevant amount to the Buyer.

In the event of partial withdrawal from multiple Orders, delivery charges shall not be refunded since the delivery charges borne by the User (which are calculated as a fixed amount, regardless of the number of ordered Products) refer also to the delivery of other Products.  

10.12 As a result of withdrawal, GIANVITO ROSSI shall refund the Buyer the Total Cost Due made known in the Order, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of additional costs deriving from any choice of another type of delivery – e.g. choice of express delivery – from the least costly of standard delivery which we offer) without undue delay and in any case not more than 14 days from the date in which GIANVITO ROSSI received the communication of withdrawal, and, in any case, only following receipt of the Product returned and of verification of integrity of the same. The major terms requested by the card operator remain valid to credit the sum to the Buyer.

In case of partial withdrawal from multiple Orders, the delivery expenses shall not be reimbursed as the delivery expenses incurred by the User (which are calculated in a fixed amount, regardless of the number of Products ordered) are attributable to the delivery of the other Products.

10.13 If any of the cases of exclusion of the right of withdrawal provided for by law does exist, GIANVITO ROSSI shall inform the Buyer thereof in the Order Confirmation and, in any case, during the purchasing process before the User places the Order.

10.14 If the right of withdrawal has not been exercised in compliance with applicable law, no termination of the contract shall occur and thus no refund shall be due.

 

11. Warranty and customer care

11.1 All products sold on the Website shall be covered by the legal guarantee of conformity pursuant to art. 128 et seq. of the Italian government decree no. 206/2005 (“Italian Consumer Code”) ("Legal guarantee of conformity").

11.2 GIANVITO ROSSI shall deliver to the Buyer Products complying with the Contract. A non-conformity does exist when the purchased Product does not have the subjective and objective requirements envisaged by Art. 129 of the Italian Consumer Code and therefore, if:

  1. it does not correspond to the description, type quantity and quality set out in the contract and does not have the characteristics envisaged by the contract of sale;
  2. it is not suitable for the specific use desired by the Consumer, which was communicated by the Consumer to the Seller when executing the Contract and which was accepted by the Seller;
  3. it is not supplied with all the accessories;
  4. it is not suitable for the use for which goods of the same kind are normally used;
  5. it does not conform to the description made by the Seller and does not have the qualities of the good that the Seller presented to the Consumer as sample or model;
  6. it is not of the quantity, nor does it present the qualities and the other characteristics usually present in a product of the same kind which the Consumer may reasonably expect considering the nature of the good, the statements made by or on behalf of the seller, including in any advertising or in the label, etc.

11.3 GIANVITO ROSSI shall be liable to the Buyer for any non-conformity that does exist upon delivery of the Product and that emerges within two years from delivery.

11.4 Unless proven otherwise, it is assumed that any non-conformity that emerges within one year from the date of delivery of the Product already existed on that date, unless such assumption is not compatible with the nature of the product or with the nature of the non-conformity.

11.5 If any non-conformity is duly notified within the prescribed term, the Buyer shall be entitled, at his/her own discretion, to have the Product repaired or replaced free of charge, unless the requested remedy is impossible or imposes disproportionate expenses to the Seller.

If the repair or the replacement has not been carried out, or if they have not been carried out, where possible, without expense for the Consumer, namely within reasonable terms or if the repair or the replacement previously carried out has caused considerable inconvenience to the Buyer, the Buyer shall be entitled, at his/her own discretion, to ask for the proportional price reduction or the termination of the Contract.

11.6 If, during the period of validity of the Legal guarantee of conformity, a Product purchased on the Website shows a non-conformity, the Buyer may contact the Customer Care by following the procedure described under “Contact us” in the Website section “Customer Care”. The case shall be then dealt with by the Customer Care.

 

12. Applicable law and Jurisdiction

12.1 The sale Contract entered into by the Parties and regulated by these GTS shall be governed by Italian law.

However, any Buyers that do not have their habitual residence in Italy may be subject to more favourable mandatory regulations provided for by the law of the country in which they have their habitual residence.

Any conflicting law as well as the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.

12.2 Any dispute that may arise shall be submitted to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the municipality of residence of the Consumer.

 

13. Customer Care and Complaints

Users can ask for information, send communications, ask for assistance, or lodge a complaint by sending an email to GIANVITO ROSSI ’s Customer Care to the email address customercare@gianvitorossi.com
