The Seller will proceed to verify the validity of the documentation received, if necessary, by requesting further additions from the Customer or by making forms of access to the records and requests to the competent Authorities.

4. The provisions of paragraph 2 above, in the compatible parts, shall also apply to Customers not established in Italy.

The deadline is met if the Customer returns the goods before the expiration of the specified period.

If the Customer decides to return the products independently, the cost of return will be borne by the Customer and will not be refunded.

1.As required by current legislation, Legislative Decree 206/2005 as amended, the right of withdrawal is reserved exclusively for Consumer Customers (individuals who purchase goods not for purposes related to their professional, commercial or entrepreneurial activity), so it cannot be exercised by legal persons (eg stores) and natural persons acting for purposes related to their professional activity, if any.
