4.3 The Purchaser expressly grants the Seller the right to accept the Order even partially (e.g. in the event that not all of the Products ordered are available). In this case, the Contract shall be deemed to have been concluded with respect to the goods specified in the Order Confirmation.

4.4 Pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 70/2003, GIANVITO ROSSI informs the Purchaser that the form containing the Order will be stored in GIANVITO ROSSI's database for the time necessary to process the Order and, in any case, within the terms set out by law.

5. Non-acceptance, cancellation and deletion of Orders

5.1 The Site is exclusively intended for sale by GIANVITO ROSSI to Consumers. The purchase of Products for resale and/or by Resellers is therefore prohibited.

5.2 Fulfilment of Orders is subject to the availability of Products.

5.3 The availability of Products is constantly monitored and updated by GIANVITO ROSSI. However, GIANVITO ROSSI does not guarantee the availability of the Product selected by the User and it may happen that several Users purchase the same Product at the same time. In such cases, the Product may be available for a short period of time, while it may be out of stock or not immediately available due to the need to wait for restocking.

5.4 In the event of unavailability of the Product for the above reasons or in any other case of unavailability of the Product, GIANVITO ROSSI will immediately inform the Purchaser by e-mail of the cancellation of the Order.

5.5 If the Product is to be restocked, GIANVITO ROSSI may propose to the Purchaser an extension of the delivery terms, without prejudice to the Purchaser's right not to accept the proposed change.

5.6 GIANVITO ROSSI reserves the right not to accept Orders or to cancel them by giving written notice to the Purchaser if:

  • these are Orders that may be abnormal in terms of the number of pieces or the frequency of purchases;
  • Orders made by persons involved in fraud of any kind or who have issued false or incomplete identification data;
  • the billing information is incorrect or cannot be verified;
  • these are Orders with inconsistencies that make them impossible to execute them;
  • for reasons of force majeure;
  • for unavailability of Products.

5.7 In the event of non-acceptance, cancellation and/or annulment of the Order, GIANVITO ROSSI will refund to the User, within 15 calendar days from the date of the e-mail informing the User of the cancellation of the Order, the total cost due (as defined in article 7.4 of these GTCS), if the User has already paid the total amount due, without prejudice to any different terms required by the manager of the card used for payment. The refund will be made to the same means of payment used by the User for the purchase.

 

6. Product Information

6.1 The main features of each Product are summarised in the Order Confirmation. The images and descriptions on the Site reflect the characteristics of the Products as accurately as possible. The colours of the Products, however, may differ from the actual colors due to the settings of the computer systems or computers used by the Users to view them. Furthermore, the images of the Products on the Product sheet may differ in size or in relation to any accessories. Such images should therefore be considered as indicative. For the purposes of the Contract, the description of the Product contained in the Order Confirmation sent to the User shall prevail.

 

7. Prices

7.1 Prices are expressed in euros and may also be indicated in the different currencies of the countries where GIANVITO ROSSI sells through the Site.

7.2 Prices do not constitute an offer to the Consumer.

7.3 The price of the Products may be updated at any time without prior notice, it being understood that, in the event of Order Confirmation, the price charged to the Purchaser shall be the price indicated on the Site at the time the Order is placed, without taking into account any variations (up or down) after the Order has been placed.

7.4 The final sales prices are inclusive of VAT (both the price exclusive of VAT and the gross price intended as the final price are indicated on the Site) but exclusive of delivery charges. In any case, the total cost to be paid by the Purchaser, made up of the price of the Products, the delivery costs and any additional costs (the "Total Cost Due"), will be indicated to the Purchaser in the Order generated when the User clicks on the "Check Order" icon during the purchase process. The Total Due Cost does not include any costs that are not directly charged by GIANVITO ROSSI, such as customs costs for deliveries outside the EU. 'Final Sale' items are not subject to Gianvito Rossi's standard return policy and may not be returned. 

7.5 The prices of the Products are indicated in accordance with the provisions on announcements of price reductions contained in Legislative Decree no. 26 of 7 March 2023, which implements EU Directive 2019/2161. Therefore, any announcement of a price reduction shall indicate the lowest price applied by GIANVITO ROSSI in the 30 days preceding the application of such reduction, within the limits and in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned regulations.

 

8. Properties

8.1 The Products shall remain the property of GIANVITO ROSSI until the Total Due Costs have been paid by the Purchaser. Failure to pay the total amount due or failure to confirm successful payment will result in the Order being cancelled or, if the Order Confirmation has already been sent to the Purchaser, the Contract will be deemed to have been cancelled in accordance with article 1456 of the Italian Civil Code and GIANVITO ROSSI will notify the Purchaser by e-mail.

 

9. Payments

9.1 The methods of payment for the price of the Products and the relevant shipping and delivery costs are indicated in the order form on the Site. Under no circumstances will you be charged more than the actual costs incurred by GIANVITO ROSSI in relation to the chosen method of payment.

9.2 In the case of payment by credit card, the financial information (e.g. credit/debit card number or expiration date) will never be used by GIANVITO ROSSI except to complete the procedures related to the purchase and to issue relevant refunds in case of return of Products or exercise of the right of withdrawal, or if it is necessary to prevent or report to the police or to the public authorities any fraud committed through the Site to the detriment of GIANVITO ROSSI. The price for the purchase of the Products and the shipping costs will be charged to the current account indicated by the Purchaser at the time of shipment of the Products purchased.

9.3 Please note that if there is no correspondence between the recipient of the Products indicated in the Order and the person who paid the sums due for the purchase in question, the refund of the sums due, even in the case of the exercise of the right of withdrawal or return, will be made by GIANVITO ROSSI to the person who paid the sums due.

 

10. Delivery of Products

10.1 GIANVITO ROSSI shall deliver the Products ordered to the Purchaser without delay and at the latest within 30 days from the date of the Order Confirmation to the address indicated by the Purchaser for delivery, using the methods indicated in the preceding articles, by means of reliable couriers and/or forwarding agents. Delivery will take place within the timeframe summarised on the Site in the section where delivery methods are indicated. Delivery times are calculated on the basis of working days only, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.

10.2 No liability can be attributed to the Seller for delayed or non-delivery due to unavailability of the Purchaser, force majeure or unforeseeable circumstances.

10.3 Once the Products have been delivered to the carrier, the Purchaser will receive an email confirming the delivery and containing a link and/or tracking code that will allow the Purchaser to follow the progress of the shipment.

10.4 Upon receipt, the Purchaser shall verify that the Product delivered to him conforms to the Order placed. Only after such verification shall the delivery documents, if any, be signed.

10.5 Delivery of the Products purchased on the Site is made, regardless of the User's nationality, place of residence or establishment, within the borders of the State associated with the Country in which the User is browsing the Site at the time the Order is placed (the "Country of Navigation"). The User, regardless of his nationality, place of residence or establishment, is therefore obliged to enter a shipping address in the Order form that is within the borders of the State associated with the Country of Navigation. Otherwise, GIANVITO ROSSI shall not be obliged to deliver and reserves the right to cancel the Order.

10.6 If the option is available on the Site, the User may choose Boutique Delivery by selecting the stores indicated on the Site by clicking on "Pick up in store".

 

11. Right of Withdrawal - Replacement of Products - Returns and Refunds

11.1 Pursuant to art. 52 of the Consumer Code, the Purchaser has the right to withdraw from the Contract concluded with GIANVITO ROSSI within fourteen days from the day on which the Purchaser took physical possession of the Product, without having to give any reason.

11.2 Pursuant to art. 54 of the Consumer Code, the Purchaser may exercise the right of withdrawal in one of the following ways, at his discretion: A. by sending an explicit declaration to GIANVITO ROSSI at the e-mail address customercare@gianvitorossi.com in which he communicates his wish to exercise the right of withdrawal; B. by sending to the e-mail address customercare@gianvitorossi.com the Withdrawal Form ("WF") to be filled in completely by the User and downloadable at the following link: Withdrawal Form; C. by selecting directly on the Site in the "Contact Us" Section, the item "Withdrawal" in the drop-down menu of the "Object" field. In any case, GIANVITO ROSSI shall send the Purchaser an e-mail confirmation of the receipt of the withdrawal declaration.

11.3 After exercising the right of withdrawal, if the Purchaser has already received the Products, the Purchaser must return them to GIANVITO ROSSI without any undue delay and in any case within and not later than fourteen calendar days from the date on which the Purchaser notified GIANVITO ROSSI of her/his intention to withdraw.

11.4 The return can take place A. in the boutique if this option is available on the Site, or B. by sending the Product to GIANVITO ROSSI by sending the parcel to the address Gianvito Rossi S.r.l., OnLine Warehouse, Via San Crispino 2, 47030 San Mauro Pascoli (FC), Italy. The Product will be considered as returned when it is delivered, within the aforementioned time limit, to the courier specified by GIANVITO ROSSI.

11.5 In the case of clause 11.4 B., the return must be made by the courier specified by GIANVITO ROSSI. If the Purchaser chooses a different courier, the costs of shipping and any customs duties shall be borne by the Purchaser and GIANVITO ROSSI shall not be liable for any damage, loss or delay in the return of the goods.

11.6 In order to proceed with the shipment of the package, the User may: A. ask for the support of GIANVITO ROSSI's Customer Care, which can be contacted either by e-mail at customercare@gianvitorossi.com or by phone +39 05 41 93 56 00 or on the Site by clicking on the "Contact us" link in the "Customer Service" section; B. or, alternatively, use the pre-printed return label inserted inside the packaging or generated by the User himself where the function is available on the Site.

11.7 Except in the case of boutique returns, the Purchaser shall necessarily contact Customer Care whenever customs transit is required for the shipment. In this case, the Purchaser must provide Customer Care with all the information necessary to complete the customs documentation required for the shipment, which Customer Care shall download and send to the Purchaser. In the event that the return is subject to customs duties and the Purchaser chooses to proceed independently with its own courier and without contacting Customer Care, GIANVITO ROSSI will not be responsible for any costs related to the shipment, customs duties and taxes. In case of distance sales made through the Customer Care in countries not listed on the Website (except for Brazil and Russia), the price communicated to the Buyer shall be net of VAT as well as net of any customs costs, which shall be paid by the Buyer upon delivery. Such costs cannot be calculated since they depend on local laws and taxes. In case of return of products bought by means of a distance sale made through the Customer Care, the customs costs incurred by the Seller shall be calculated and charged to the Buyer at a later time or anyway only after the actual receipt of the returned product at our warehouses.

11.8 The Purchaser must return the Products from the same country in which they were delivered. It is therefore not possible to ship from a country other than the country where delivery took place.

11.9 The Purchaser must take particular care when packaging the Products to be returned. Should the returned Products be damaged due to improper packaging, GIANVITO ROSSI reserves the right to refuse the return.

11.10 In any case, the Products must be returned to GIANVITO ROSSI undamaged, complete and in the same conditions in which they were received, with all accessories and illustration sheets, with the identification tags and labels, if any, still attached to the Products, and not tampered with or in a condition that could affect their resale. The protective stickers on the soles must not be removed in any way during the trial. The garments to be returned may not have been used by the Purchaser in any way other than to the extent compatible with carrying out a normal trial necessary to decide whether or not to keep them (for example, the Products must not show signs of prolonged use or in any case beyond the minimum time necessary for a trial). Products returned without a box, in a damaged box, with obvious marks on the sole and without protective stickers or with missing components (such as the protective bag) cannot be accepted: they will be returned to the delivery address indicated on the original order. Products returned must be the same style and size purchased and for which the Purchaser is requesting a refund.

11.11 Furthermore, the right of withdrawal does not apply to custom-made Products or Products made at the Purchaser’s request.

11.12 In the event that one of the legal cases of exclusion of the right of withdrawal occurs, GIANVITO ROSSI will indicate this in the Order Confirmation and, in any case, during the purchase process, before the User proceeds to place the Order.

11.13 If GIANVITO ROSSI decides not to accept the return, after the checks made, it will send a communication to the Purchaser, informing him of the reasons why the return cannot be accepted.

11.14 The Purchaser is liable to GIANVITO ROSSI for any decrease in the value of the Products resulting from any handling/use of the Products other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Products.

11.15 As a result of User the exercising her/his right of withdraw, GIANVITO ROSSI will refund the total amount due to the Purchaser, including the delivery costs (except for the costs resulting from the User’s choice of express delivery, which differs from the standard delivery offered by GIANVITO ROSSI), without delay and in any case no later than fourteen days from the date of receipt of the returned Product and verification of its integrity. The provisions of clause 9.3 shall apply, without prejudice to the longer periods requested by the cardholder for the crediting of the amount to the Purchaser.

11.16 In the event of partial cancellation of multiple Orders, the User shall not be reimbursed the delivery costs, since the delivery costs incurred by the User (which are calculated as a fixed amount, regardless of the number of Products ordered) are also attributable to the delivery of Products not returned.  

11.17 In the event that the withdrawal is not exercised in accordance with the applicable law, it shall not result in the termination of the Contract and, consequently, shall not entitle the User to any refund.

 

12. Warranty and Service Arrangements

12.1 All Products sold on the Site are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity provided for by articles 128 et seq. of the Consumer Code ("Legal Guarantee of Conformity").

12.2 GIANVITO ROSSI shall deliver to the Purchaser Products in conformity with the Contract. A conformity defect occurs when the purchased Product does not meet the subjective and objective requirements provided for by article 129 of the Consumer Code and, therefore, if:

  1. does not correspond to the contractual description, type, quantity and quality and does not possess the characteristics stipulated in the sales contract;
  2. is not suitable for the particular use intended by the Consumer and which has been brought to the knowledge of the Seller by the Consumer at the time of the conclusion of the Contract and which the Seller has accepted;
  3. is not supplied with all accessories;
  4. is not suitable for the use to which goods of the same type are normally put;
  5. does not conform to the description made by the Seller and does not possess the qualities of the good that the Seller has presented to the Consumer as a sample or model;
  6. is not of the quantity, or does not have the qualities and other characteristics ordinarily found in goods of the same kind that the consumer may reasonably expect, having regard to the nature of the goods, the statements made by or on behalf of the Seller, including those in advertising or on the label, etc.

12.3 GIANVITO ROSSI shall be liable to the Purchaser for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the Product and manifesting itself within two years from such delivery. Such defects must be notified immediately to Customer Care in the manner indicated in art. 14 below.

12.4 Unless proven otherwise, defects of conformity that become apparent within one year after delivery of the Product shall be presumed to have already existed on that date, unless this assumption is incompatible with the nature of the Product or the nature of the defect of conformity.

12.5 In the event of a conformity defect duly reported within the terms and confirmed by GIANVITO ROSSI, the Purchaser is entitled to have the Product repaired or replaced free of charge unless the remedy requested is impossible or imposes disproportionate costs on the Seller.

12.6 If the repair or replacement has not been carried out, where possible, at no cost to the Purchaser or within a reasonable time, and the repair or replacement previously carried out has caused the Purchaser considerable inconvenience, the Purchaser may, at its option, claim a proportionate reduction in the price or rescission of the Contract.

12.7 In the event that, during the period of validity of the Legal Guarantee of Conformity, a Product purchased on the Site has a defect of conformity, the Purchaser may contact Customer Care by following the procedure indicated in the "Customer Care" section of the Site. Customer Care will deal with the case.

12.8 In order to benefit from the guarantee, the Purchaser must keep the invoice and/or proof of payment.

12.9 Any modification or alteration of the Product carried out by the Purchaser or a third party - such as the addition of protective soles, heels different from the original ones, modification/replacement of the buckle - will also result in the loss of the Legal Guarantee of Conformity as defined in article 12.1 above.

 

13. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

13.1 Without prejudice to the application of the mandatory rules of European derivation for the protection of the Purchaser, the Contract of sale governed by these GTCS and concluded between the Parties shall be governed by Italian law.

13.2 This is without prejudice to the application to Purchasers who do not have their habitual residence in Italy of any more favourable and mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which they have their habitual residence.

13.3 For all disputes relating to the Contracts and/or these GTCS, the competent court shall be that of the domicile or residence of the Purchaser according to the applicable law or, at the Purchaser's option, the Court of Milan.

 

13.4 In the event of disputes between GIANVITO ROSSI and a Purchaser arising from the GTCS, please note that the European Commission provides a platform for out-of-court alternative dispute resolution, accessible at http://ec.europa.eu/odr.

 

14. Customer Service and Complaints

14.1 You can ask for information, send communications, request assistance or make complaints by contacting GIANVITO ROSSI's Customer Service by sending an e-mail to: customercare@gianvitorossi.com or by calling the telephone number +39 05 41 93 56 00.
