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.

10.1 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.

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.

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.
