1. Introduction and effectiveness of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter referred to as "General Terms and Conditions") have as their object the regulation of the distance sale of products and services made available, via the Internet, on the site www.amarettivirginia.com (hereinafter referred to as the 'Website") and the related payment and delivery, in accordance with the Italian regulations set out in Legislative Decree 206/2005 as amended and supplemented (hereinafter, "Consumer Code"). The seller of the products and owner of the Site is: Amaretti Virginia s.r.l. S.p.A. with registered office in Località Prapiccinin, 6, 17046 Sassello (Sv), C.F/ P.I. 00827760091, REA: SV - 92464 - PEC Address commerciale@pec.amarettivirginia.com (hereinafter referred to as 'Amaretti Virginia s.r.l."). The person who accesses the Site to make purchases (hereinafter "Customer") is obliged, before sending the order, to read carefully these General Terms and Conditions - which constitute a binding agreement - made available to him on the Site and which will be available at all times by the Customer also through the link contained in the confirmation email of each order in order to allow him to reproduce and save them. Contracts concluded with Amaretti Virginia s.r.l. through the Site are governed by these General Conditions in compliance with Italian law. The characteristics and price of the various products on sale on the Site (hereinafter "Product" o "Products") are shown on the page for each Product. In order to purchase Products, the Customer shall fill in and send the order form in electronic format, following the instructions contained in the Site. The Customer shall add the Product to the Shopping Cart and, after having read these General Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy and confirmed their acceptance, shall enter the shipping and invoicing data, select the desired payment method and confirm the order. By sending the order from the Site, which has the value of a contractual proposal, the Customer acknowledges and declares that he/she has read all the information provided to him/her during the purchase process and fully accepts these General Terms and Conditions and the transcribed payment terms, as well as the Privacy Policy. The contract between Amaretti Virginia s.r.l. and the Customer must be considered concluded with the acceptance of the order by Amaretti Virginia s.r.l.. Such acceptance will be communicated to the Customer through an email confirming the order itself containing a reference to these General Conditions, the order number, the shipping and invoicing data, the list of Products ordered with their essential characteristics, the total price - including delivery charges - and the method of payment used. The Customer shall check the confirmation email and if he/she identifies any errors in the order (billing or shipping address, contact information or the like) he/she shall have a pre-established time limit from the receipt of such email to contact Customer Service directly from the Site using the appropriate contact form in the Customer Service area. This time limit shall be 12 hours. Under no circumstances will it be possible to accept requests to change the contents of the shopping cart. Once this time limit has elapsed, the order will be put into processing for shipment and no further changes will be accepted, without prejudice to the Customer's rights under Article 7 below. Upon receipt of the order Amaretti Virginia s.r.l. reserves the right to check the actual availability of products ordered; in the event that one or more products are not available, Amaretti Virginia s.r.l. will notify the Customer. If he prefers, the Customer can select a different option: at the Shopping Cart he can in fact opt to have the product replaced with a similar one, to remove the missing product from the order or - if this option is available - to be contacted by Amaretti Virginia s.r.l. for the proposal of alternatives. It is understood that such options are only available for certain Products. If one or more products are missing, Amaretti Virginia s.r.l. will not charge the relevant price. If payment for the order has been made by bank transfer, the refund will be made in the manner described in point 5.3 of these General Conditions.

The right of withdrawal is governed by the following conditions:
  1. The right applies to the purchased Product in its entirety; therefore, if the Product is composed of several components or parts, it is not possible to exercise the right of withdrawal only on part of the purchased Product.
  2. In the event of exercise of the right of withdrawal, Amaretti Virginia s.r.l. will refund the customer the full amount of the returned goods, including shipping costs where applicable, within 14 days from the date of receipt of the notice of withdrawal, without prejudice to the right of Amaretti Virginia s.r.l. to suspend payment of the refund until actual receipt of the goods. The refund will be made in the manner described in point 5.3 of these General Conditions.
  • Also in order to be able to guarantee the gratuitousness of the return pursuant to Article 8 below, the Products must be returned in the same box in which they were received.
  1. In addition to the cases indicated in the Foreword (non-consumer customer and/or customer requesting an invoice), the right of withdrawal is excluded in the following cases, pursuant to Article 59 of Legislative Decree 21/2014:
    1. order of customised or clearly customised products;
    2. order of products that are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;
    3. order of sealed Products that are not suitable for return for hygienic or health protection reasons or that have been opened after delivery.
With reference to the cases of exclusion of withdrawal listed above, the Customer, in particular, is informed and accepts that these include all food products (including wines, spirits and beverages), as the characteristics and qualities of these types of products are subject to alteration also as a result of improper storage. Therefore, for reasons of hygiene and protection of Customers, the right of withdrawal is applicable only to Products purchased on the Site that can be returned to Amaretti Virginia s.r.l. and put back on the market without danger to consumers' health. In cases of exclusion of the right of withdrawal, Amaretti Virginia s.r.l. will return to the Customer the Products purchased and returned by the Customer, charging the same the cost of return, or dispose of them where necessary.
