9. Right of withdrawal
Romeo Viganotti seeks to ensure your complete satisfaction regarding the orders carried out.
For this reason you have the right to withdraw from your contract with the seller without penalty and without giving a reason, within 15 (fifteen) working days of receiving the final delivery of products bought online.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, first send an email to ordini@romeoviganotti.it to get instructions for returning the goods and how to proceed with the withdrawal.
To do this you can use the model text given here; but this is not obligatory:
“With this email I/we (*) inform you of the withdrawal from my/our (*) contract for the purchase of the following goods/services (*) – ordered on (*) / received on (*) – name of buyer (i) – address of buyer (i) – date.”
If you decide not to use the standard text, you should send any other explicit declaration in writing of your intention to exercise your right to withdrawal.
Within 14 days of the date your withdrawal was communicated, you should send the items you wish to return to our headquarters, or another address you are provided.
Shipping costs for returning the goods will be payable by you, as legally required, as will be the responsibility in the event of loss or damage to the products.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the right of withdrawal is considered correctly exercised when the following conditions are fully met:
a) the products must be returned in undamaged packaging, appropriately sealed, their packaging and contents whole, original, complete and correctly preserved;
b) returned goods must be sent to the seller in a single shipment.
When all these conditions are met, once the right to withdrawal has been exercised, we will undertake to refund any sums charged for the purchase.
Within 15 (fifteen) days of the date when we receive notification of your exercising the right to withdrawal, or once the correct meeting of the above conditions has been verified, we will activate the refund procedure.
Regarding refund procedures, Romeo Viganotti cannot be held responsible for any direct or indirect damage caused by delay or failure to release the sum involved by PayPal or the banking system that operates the credit card used. Therefore, by accepting these conditions, you understand and herewith accept that the refund times for your chosen payment method (PayPal or credit card) are the sole responsibility of PayPal and the banking system.
If you fail to adhere to the methods and terms for the exercise of the right to withdrawal as set out in this article, you will have no right to the refund of sums already paid to the seller, but you can obtain the products again, at your own expense, in the same condition.
Otherwise, we may hold the goods, in addition to the sum paid for their purchase.
Pursuant to article 59 of the Italian Consumer Code, we remind you that the right to withdrawal outlined above does not apply to items made to measure or evidently personalised, or items which, by their nature, cannot be re-sent or risk rapid deterioration, or which are not suitable for return for hygiene or health reasons and have been opened after delivery, or which have been indistinguishably mixed with other items after delivery.
