The Customer is responsible for the truthfulness of the information provided and acknowledges to Aymara Italia srl the right to take any further information for the purposes of the purchase contract, in compliance with the regulations in force. In the absence of receipt by Aymara Italia s.r.l. of payment of the amount due, within 30 days the order will be cancelled and deleted, without any notice.
2.2. The website is dedicated to retail sales and as such is intended for the exclusive use of the Consumer, as defined therein: persons who do not have this qualification are invited not to execute purchase orders.
If, however, the purchase of the Products should be made by a person who does not qualify as a Consumer, these general terms and conditions of sale shall still apply, but, as an exception to what is generally provided for herein
a) the purchaser shall not benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity on the Products;

(d) Select PROCEED TO PAY
At this point the CHECKOUT page opens where you can proceed to purchase as a guest, register on the site, or enter your login and password (for registered users only). In the first two cases, the subsequent purchasing steps do not change, however, registration on the site may provide benefits (e.g. in the form of discount coupons). In the third case, the registered customer will find all his or her personal data pre-filled by simply entering his or her login and password, while the rest of the procedure is common to the first two cases.
(e) Select “Guest” or “Register” or enter your login and password (only for registered customers)
(f) (If Guest or Customer during registration) Enter or (if Customer is already registered) re-check your personal data and “flag” SELECT TO ACCEPT PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING.

The customer is obliged to verify the accuracy of the personal data entered, for the truthfulness of which he/she is responsible, and to double-check what is stated in the summary before proceeding further.
Once this activity has been completed:
(i) Select “I HAVE READ AND ACCEPTED THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE”.
(l) Select the desired form of payment from those available and follow the relevant instructions
(m) Select PROCEED°°°°° CONFIRM AND TRANSFER ORDER.
The completed order is transmitted and will serve as a purchase contract; the final summary page opens where the order number is also shown.
2.5. Following this, the Customer shall receive, at the e-mail address previously indicated, the contract (order confirmation) in which the type of products ordered, the price of each of them, the relative taxes, the delivery costs, the chosen method of payment, and the existence of the right of withdrawal referred to in Article 8 below, which may be exercised if the relative conditions are met, shall be indicated.
2.6. The contract is understood to be concluded and binding for the parties when Aymara Italia s.r.l. transmits the order confirmation to the Customer to the e-mail address indicated by the same when registering on the site; payment of the amount and delivery of the product shall follow. Unless specifically, separately and differently agreed between the Parties, the payment of the consideration for the product as indicated in the price list shall be made by the customer at the time the order is sent. Each payment made by the customer shall be traced on the sales ledger, and only if expressly requested (by means of the notes field of the order or in any case no later than the end of the fiscal month in which the order was made) shall Aymara Italia s.r.l. issue the relative invoice. VAT will be applied to all sums invoiced, which, together with any other fiscal charge deriving from the execution of the Contract, will be charged to the Customer. In any case, the Customer hereby relieves Aymara Italia s.r.l. from any, and all, liability deriving from transactions or payments made. The Customer acknowledges and expressly accepts that the invoice may be transmitted and/or made available to him in electronic format. The customer who intends to pay for the product by credit card, acknowledges and accepts that the banking institute indicated by Aymara Italia s.r.l. will store the data of his credit card, which can be used by the customer to make payment for any other product purchased from Aymara Italia s.r.l.
2.7. The contract shall be archived with the right for the Customer to have access to it by explicit request by sending an e-mail to aymaraitalia@erbariotoscano.it.
2.8. The presentation of the Products on the Site, which is not binding on the Seller, represents a mere invitation to the Consumer to make a contractual proposal to purchase and not an offer to the public.
2.9. The purchase order transmitted by the Purchaser to the Vendor through the Site has the value of an irrevocable contractual proposal for 48 (forty-eight) working hours from its receipt by the Vendor and is governed by these general conditions of sale, which form an integral part of the order itself and which the Purchaser must accept in full without reservation.
Before proceeding to send an order to purchase the Products, by means of the procedure provided on the Website, the Consumer shall therefore be requested to carefully read the present general conditions of sale and the information regarding the right to withdraw and to expressly accept the present general conditions of sale.
The Consumer is invited to print a copy of these general conditions of sale by means of the appropriate print command and/or to store a copy on a device of his choice.
Before finally sending the purchase order, the Consumer is held to check the data entered in the order, which he may change or correct any input errors.

3.4. In the event of unavailability of one or more products, occurring after the order confirmation, Aymara Italia s.r.l. shall inform the Customer by e-mail, except if Aymara Italia srl proceeds in any case to the shipment of the remaining products ordered by the Customer. In this circumstance, the contract shall remain valid limited to the products physically shipped and the Customer shall not be entitled to refuse partial delivery or payment of the goods actually delivered, nor shall he be entitled to obtain compensation or indemnity, but only to receive a refund of the price corresponding to the product or products not available, if already paid.
3.5. Transport costs may vary due to changes in Istat or fuel prices with an impact on existing contracts with express couriers and/or be subject to promotions. You are therefore invited to take note of them when placing your order.
ARTICLE 4 – REGISTRATION

Legislative Decree No. 21/2014, the Customer-consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract, without penalty and without the need to specify the reason, within and no later than fourteen (14) days from the receipt of the goods, or, in the case of multiple goods ordered through a single order and delivered separately, from the day on which the Customer or a third party designated by him, other than the carrier, acquires physical possession of the goods in question. In cases where the Customer provides Aymara italia srl with delivery indications that do not contemplate entrusting the goods by the courier to a physical person (e.g. delivery to post office boxes or delivery inside private property/condominiums/other), the Customer waives the possibility to exercise the right of withdrawal. Aymara italia srl, as far as possible, advises its customers against requesting these types of delivery.

8.5. The Customer must return the goods in an intact state of preservation and with original labels intact. The packaging of the products must be adequate, in order to safeguard the original wrappings from damage, affixing of writing or labels. The consumer is liable for any decrease in the value of the goods resulting from handling the goods other than what is necessary to establish their nature and characteristics.
8.6. Once Aymara Italia s.r.l. has received the withdrawal form correctly filled out together with the written communication, it shall take charge of the request while waiting to receive the products and reserving the right to contact the Customer if necessary.
The Customer is free to choose the courier to be used for the return but must communicate this to Aymara Italia srl together with the tracking number of the shipment.
If the right of withdrawal has been exercised in accordance with the above provisions, Aymara Italia s.r.l. shall, within fourteen (14) working days from the moment of receipt of the returned goods at the company, refund to the Customer all payments received, in relation to the order to which the withdrawal refers.
This refund will be made using either the same means of payment used by the Customer for the initial transaction if this does not entail costs for the Customer as a result of the refund, or by agreeing with the Customer on an alternative means (bank transfer); however, pursuant to Article 56, paragraph III of Legislative Decree No. 21/2014, Aymara Italia s.r.l. is entitled to withhold the refund until it has received the goods.
8.7. The right of withdrawal is the faculty only of physical persons acting for purposes unrelated to any entrepreneurial, commercial, handicraft or professional activity carried out, referred to precisely as consumers; therefore, retailers and companies are excluded from the right of withdrawal.
8.8. The right of withdrawal is likewise excluded, pursuant to Art. 59 of Legislative Decree no. 21/2014, in the case of the supply of sealed goods that are not suitable to be returned for hygienic or health protection reasons and that have been opened after delivery and in all cases provided for by law.
