1. CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT

The transmission of the order constitutes a binding purchase proposal for the consumer, as well as a phase of a more complex process articulated as follows:
1. the consumer can freely access BIFFI.COM and view the essential characteristics of the goods on display, including price and images published for the purpose of illustrating the goods themselves;
2. The consumer can select one or more goods by placing them in a virtual "shopping cart". The contents of the shopping cart can always be viewed by the consumer before proceeding to place the order. By accessing the cart, the consumer can in particular know, before the purchase (and therefore the payment), any information relating to the purchase of goods, including shipping costs and expected delivery times.
As a detail in the Shipping Information section, here fully recalled, customers who purchase from a country served as an EPD will have to independently bear any import duties and taxes, the quantification of which must therefore be requested directly from DHL or another import broker appointed by the Customer;
3. before making the purchase, the consumer can register with BIFFI.COM, communicating his e-mail address and a password of his choice that allow him access to biffi.com same and to the "MY ACCOUNT" section (recommended option); alternatively, the consumer can make the purchase as a guest (in this case, however, the consumer will be required to enter the same data for each new order);

6. Once the order has been received, Biffi sends a summary of the purchase information to the consumer's e-mail address. The receipt of order processing does not constitute acceptance of the order itself. The contract can in fact be considered duly concluded only at the time of the "order confirmation" sent by Biffi to the consumer's e-mail address.
More information about the order and the payment methods can be found in the Shopping Online section, which is fully accessible.
The language available to the consumer to conclude the contract with the seller is Italian.
Biffi reserves the right not to confirm an order in the event of unavailability of one or more products purchased, notifying the consumer at the associated e-mail address. The unavailability of one or more goods ordered cannot constitute a cause for cancellation of the entire order by the consumer.
Biffi also reserves the right not to accept the order in the following cases:
- incomplete or incorrectly completed data; -
unsuccessful payment (by way of example, in case of non-charge to the Consumer's credit card) or absence of sufficient guarantees of solvency;
- reporting or suspecting fraudulent or illegal activities, including suspicion that purchases are being made for commercial purposes.

3. WARRANTY AND CONFORMITY OF GOODS
On www.biffi.com only branded, original and top quality products are offered for sale. These are, in particular, products of the most famous Italian and foreign luxury brands, to which are added the "BIFFI" or "BIFFI BOUTIQUES" brand products.
The products are purchased directly from the seller from fashion houses, manufacturers and retailers carefully selected for their rigorous quality controls.
Biffi does not sell used, irregular or inferior quality products to the corresponding standards offered on the market. All products are equipped with an identification tag fixed with a disposable seal.
The characteristics of the products are presented on BIFFI.COM within the product sheets.
Biffi undertakes to ensure that the description and/or photographic representation of the products is as faithful as possible to the products themselves. However, the images and colors of the products presented on BIFFI.COM may not correspond perfectly to the real ones due to the effect of the Internet browser and monitor used.
Taking into account the fact that the quality of the images may depend on the IT tools used by the consumer, it is possible that the consumer's perception of the description or photographic representation of the goods does not correspond exactly to them, so that the images and videos accompanying the presentation of the goods must be considered published for purely descriptive purposes.
With reference to purchases made on BIFFI.COM operates the legal guarantee of conformity of 24 (twenty-four) months, to be exercised under the conditions and terms referred to in Articles. 128 et seq. Consumer Code.
The aforementioned warranty will apply only if the goods have been handled with due diligence and in compliance with their intended use and will not apply with reference to defects deriving from normal wear and tear of the goods.
In particular, in the case of defective or incorrect products, you can request, alternatively and without charge, the repair or replacement of the purchased good, or a reduction in the purchase price or the termination of the contract, unless the request is objectively impossible to satisfy or considered disproportionate for biffi.com pursuant to Article 135 bis of the Consumer Code.
The request must be submitted to BIFFI.COM by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address support@biffi.com, taking care to provide order number and proof of delivery as well as a photographic detail of the problem complained of.

4. RECESS
In accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Code, the consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract without obligation to provide reasons and without the payment of penalties, by sending an explicit communication to BIFFI.COM effect. This right can be exercised within 14 (fourteen) working days from delivery of the goods.
In exercising the right of withdrawal, the consumer is required to return the goods to Biffi no later than two weeks from the sending of the aforementioned communication, in the same conditions in which he received them.
An essential condition for exercising the right of withdrawal is the substantial integrity of the product to be returned. It is, in particular, necessary that the goods are returned in normal condition, as they are kept and possibly handled with normal diligence. In particular, the goods must be returned:
1. properly packed in their original packaging, in perfect condition of resale (not damaged, damaged or dirty) and equipped with any accessories (by way of example and not limited to boxes, bags, belts) and documentation;
2. without obvious signs of use, except those compatible with carrying out a normal test of the article. They must not bear any record of use exceeding the time necessary for a test and must not be in such a state as not to allow their resale;
3. with disposable tag and seal still attached, these elements are an integral part of the good;
4. with the Return Authorization Number (RMA).
Following the exercise by the consumer of the right of withdrawal in accordance with these general conditions of sale, Biffi will reimburse the consumer for the sums paid by the same by crediting the payment card or account used for the purchase.
As specified below, the costs of returning the goods will be borne by the Seller in the event that the consumer uses the carrier authorized by Biffi using the return documents provided by Biffi and ships the goods from the country from which the delivery took place. Otherwise, the costs of the return will be borne by the consumer.
BIFFI.COM RETURN PROCEDURE
In order to facilitate the exercise of the right of withdrawal and the return process, Biffi has implemented the following procedure, also detailed in the "Return Policy" section:
1. the registered consumer can send his return request by accessing the "MY ACCOUNT" area in the "MY ORDERS" section and click on "CREATE RETURN" where he can fill in and send the return form; if the consumer has made a purchase as a guest, he can contact BIFFI.COM Customer Service, in particular at the email support@biffi.com communicating his order number, name and surname. The consumer can also exercise the withdrawal by sending, even by post to the seller's address, an explicit communication about his intention to withdraw from the contract; however, in this case it will be the responsibility of the consumer himself to prove the correct and timely exercise of this right.
2. Upon receipt of the return request, Biffi sends a communication to the consumer's e-mail address certifying that the request has been processed. The return processing receipt does not constitute acceptance of the return. The return can in fact be considered accepted only at the time of communication of authorization of the return sent by Biffi to the consumer's e-mail address at the end of the procedure described below;
3. if the consumer's return request is regular (by way of example, the deadline of 14 (fourteen) working days from delivery is respected), Biffi authorizes the shipment of the goods by sending a communication to the consumer's e-mail address with the relative instructions. The product must be shipped within 14 (fourteen) days from the return request. Simply pack the package well and display the pre-printed return label – bearing the return address – already included in the package and enter the Return Authorization (RMA) number. The return shipment is free if made using the courier provided by BIFFI.COM. In the event that the consumer chooses to return the goods by different courier, or in ways different from those indicated above, the costs of the return are fully borne by the consumer;
4. Once the goods have been received, Biffi will carry out the necessary checks in order to verify the conformity of the returned products with the conditions and terms indicated above.
If the right of withdrawal is exercised following the methods and terms indicated above, Biffi will send, via e-mail to the consumer's e-mail address, the communication of the "acceptance of the return" and reimburse any sums already collected for the purchase of products according to the methods and terms provided.
In the event that the goods are in a state that does not allow resale, or other essential conditions for the right of withdrawal have not been met, Biffi reserves the right to refuse the consumer's return request by giving specific notice. Following this communication, the Consumer remains entitled to obtain, at his own expense, the products in the state in which they were returned.
It should be noted that the refund is made by Biffi with the same payment method used by the consumer for the purchase (i.e. by crediting the payment card or account indicated for the purchase). In the case of orders with non-EU shipping, shipping and customs taxes will not be reimbursed by Biffi, but the Consumer must contact his customs office.

If one or more provisions of these conditions should be considered null or invalid, these general conditions of sale will remain valid and produce effects in the remaining parts. The mere tolerance or failure by Biffi to contest any breach by the consumer with respect to the contents of the aforementioned conditions cannot be interpreted as tacit acceptance of such breaches, nor as a desire to derogate from what has been agreed between the parties.
