The Parties stipulate as follows:

1. Object of the Agreement
1.1 These General Conditions, which are made available to the Purchaser for printing and conservation pursuant to and in accordance with article 12 of Legislative Decree no. 70 dated 9 April, 2003, are applicable to the purchase of products, effected remotely and using electronic means, via the internet Site owned by the Seller , whose registered offices are in 39042 Bressanone, Via Vittorio Veneto 67b, VAT code 02331890216, e-mail: customerservice@maximilian.it, Tel: 0039 0472 802372, Fax 0039 0472 834404.
1.2 Under the terms of this Agreement, the Seller shall sell and the Purchaser shall remotely purchase the products indicated and offered for sale on the Seller’s Site.
1.3 The main characteristics of the products referred to in the preceding clause are illustrated in the Seller’s Site. The images relative to a given product may not be entirely representative of that product’s characteristics.
1.4 The Seller undertakes to supply the products selected – subject to their availability – in exchange for payment of an amount as specified in article 3 of this Agreement.

2. Acceptance of the Conditions of Sale
2.1 All purchase orders shall be forwarded by the Purchaser to the Seller by completing the purchasing procedure indicated on the Site.
2.2 These General Conditions of Sale must be examined online by the Purchaser before completing the purchasing procedure. The transmission of the purchase order by the Purchaser, therefore, shall imply that the Purchaser is fully aware of and fully accepts said General Conditions of Sale.
2.3 The Purchaser, by forwarding confirmation of his/her purchase order via the Site, unconditionally accepts and undertakes to comply, in dealings with the Seller, with the General Conditions and the conditions of payment described below, and confirms that he/she has examined and accepts all the indications provided by the Seller in accordance with the norms referred to above, also acknowledging that the Seller shall not be bound by any other conditions unless so agreed in advance in writing.
2.4 Acceptance of the Conditions of Sale shall be confirmed by the exact compilation of all sections of the digital form, following the instructions displayed on the screen and, finally, clicking on the boxes marked ACCEPTANCE OF CONDITIONS OF SALE and PRIVACY POLICY, in this way accepting the content of said documents in their entirety.

3. Method of purchase and sale price
3.1 The products and the sale prices shown on the Site are expressed in Euro and shall in all cases be considered as purely indicative and subject to express confirmation via e-mail by the Seller, which shall constitute acceptance of the purchase order.
3.2 The prices of the products as published on the home page or in the various sections of the Site are inclusive of Value-Added Tax and all other duties and/or taxes, with the exception of any local levies and/or duties which, since these cannot be paid in advance by the Seller, shall be paid by the Purchaser.
Deliveries will be effected to the countries indicated in the home page of the Site www.maximilian.it, which also specifies the shipping cost for each country. The total cost of the shipment to the domicile of the Purchaser shall be paid by the latter, except in the case of any exceptions and waivers which might be posted specially on the Site and/or communicated via e-mail. In all cases, the cost shall be communicated to the Purchaser prior to confirmation of the purchase order.
3.3 Reception of an order shall not obligate the Seller until the latter shall have expressly accepted the order by e-mail. The Seller shall, after verifying the availability of the product selected, formally confirm and accept the order by e-mail.
3.4 The Purchaser expressly confers upon the Seller the faculty of accepting the Purchaser’s order only partially (if, for example, not all the products ordered are available). In this case, the Agreement shall be considered as being vald only for the goods effectively sold.

4. Finalization of the Agreement
4.1 The Agreement stipulated via the Site shall be deemed finalized at the moment in which the Purchaser receives, via e-mail, formal confirmation of the order, with which the Seller accepts the order transmitted by the Purchaser and informs the latter that the order can be fulfilled. The Agreement shall be deemed as being finalized in the place in which the registered offices of the Seller are located.

5. Method of payment
5.1 All payments effected by the Purchaser must be made exclusively using one of the following methods: payment in cash or using a POS card; advance payment by bank transfer; online payment by credit card; payment by PayPal.

c) payment by credit card: Payment may be effected using one of the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express. The amount of the purchase shall be debited at the moment when the order is concluded. The Purchaser should bear in mind that, during the payment procedure using Visa or MasterCard, the settlement bank may request a PIN or a password which must be entered at the moment of payment. If the Purchaser does not know the PIN or password, he or she should contact the bank.
d) payment by PayPal.

6. Method of delivery
6.1 The products selected and ordered as described in the preceding clauses may be collected personally from one of the Seller’s points of sale, as selected by the Purchaser, without any extra costs for the latter; alternatively, the goods may be delivered by the Seller, by reliable couriers and/or shippers, to the address indicated by the Purchaser. Deliveries within the member countries of the European Union shall – depending on the article and the place of delivery – take place approximately 2 (two) to 3 (three) working days following the date of payment, as indicated in the confirmation e-mail to be despatched to the Purchaser. Deliveries to non-EU countries shall – depending on the article and the place of delivery – take place approximately 3 (three) to 7 (seven) working days following the date of payment, as indicated in the confirmation e-mail to be despatched to the Purchaser.
If the Seller is unable to despatch the goods within said periods, but is able to do so within 30 days following the finalization of the Agreement, the Purchaser shall be advised promptly by e-mail of such occurrence.
In all cases, the goods will be despatched only after payment for the same has been effected, and therefore the delivery period shall commence from such date.
6.2 The Purchaser shall receive an e-mail indicating an identification number for the shipment, which can thus be traced at any moment.
6.3 If the Purchaser is absent, a notice will be left specifying the procedure necessary to contact the courier and/or shipper in order to agree the method of delivery.
6.4 The Seller accepts no liability for any delays or non-deliveries resulting from the incorrect or incomplete indication of the delivery address by the Purchaser.
6.5 On receiving the goods, the Purchaser must check that the product delivered corresponds to the order, and that the packaging is undamaged.
Without prejudice to the right of withdrawal described in article 10 of these conditions, the Purchaser must sign the delivery documents only after said checks have been effected, since all shipments are insured against theft and damage.
The right of withdrawal shall not be applicable if the goods sold have been custom made for the Purchaser.

7. Limits of liability
7.1 The Seller accepts no liability for any delays or non-deliveries attributable to events of force majeure, such as accidents, explosions, fires, strikes and/or lock-outs, earthquakes, floods or any similar events which might, in whole or in part, prevent the fulfilment of the Agreement by the agreed date.
7.2 The Seller shall not be held liable by the Purchaser – except in the case of wilful misconduct or gross negligence – for any inefficiency or malfunctions connected to the use of the internet that are beyond the control of the Seller.
7.3 The Seller accepts no liability in respect of any person or third party for damage, losses and costs sustained as a consequence of the non-fulfilment of this Agreement for the causes specified above; the Purchaser shall be entitled only to the reimbursement of any amounts paid.
7.4 The Seller accepts no liability in the event of the fraudulent and illicit use by third parties of the credit cards, cheques and other means of payment at the moment of payment for the products purchased, if it is demonstrated that every possible precaution has been taken on the basis of the latest science and experience and that due diligence has been applied.

8. Warranty and customer service procedures
8.1 The Seller markets exclusively original products of the highest quality. For any queries, complaints or suggestions, the Purchaser may contact the Seller using the latter’s e-mail address (customerservice@maximilian.it) or by telephone (telephone number +39 0472 200558, hours from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 12.00 p.m. and from 2.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m.).
In order to ensure a prompt response to such queries, complaints or suggestions, the Purchaser must give a full and clear description of the problem, if necessary enclosing the order documents, and indicate the order number, customer number etc.
8.2 In the event of non-compliance, the norms laid down in Legislative Decree no. 206 dated 6 September, 2005 shall be applicable. The Seller shall thus be liable to the Purchaser, for a period of two years from the delivery of the goods, for any defects or non-compliance existing at the moment of delivery. Any defects must be reported within two months of their discovery; if this is not the case, the Purchaser may no longer claim rights under the warranty.
8.3 The warranty shall be applicable exclusively to the products indicated in Legislative Decree no. 206 dated 6 September, 2005.

9. Obligations of the Purchaser
9.1 The Purchaser undertakes to pay the purchase price of the product within the period and in the manner indicated in these General Conditions.
9.2 The Purchaser undertakes, once the purchase procedure has been completed, to print and conserve these General Conditions – which the Purchaser shall have previously examined and accepted as an obligatory step in the purchase procedure – as well as the specifications for the product purchased, in order to comply fully with the requirements of Legislative Decree no. 206 dated 6 September, 2005.
9.3 The Purchaser is strictly prohibited from entering false and/or invented and/or fictitious data during the registration procedure using the corresponding digital form; the personal details and e-mail entered must correspond to the Purchaser’s actual personal details, and not those of a third party nor of a fictitious person. The Purchaser therefore accepts full liability for the accuracy and veracity of the data entered into the digital registration form in order to complete the product purchase procedure.
9.4 The Purchaser shall hold the Seller indemnified in relation to any liability deriving from the issue of incorrect fiscal documents as a result of errors in the data provided by the Seller, since it is the latter who is exclusively responsible for their correct insertion.

10.3 If the Purchaser should opt to exercise the right of withdrawal, he or she must advise the Seller using the withdrawal form shown in schedule B of Legislative Decree no. 21/2014 or submitting any other different declaration expressing his/her decision to withdraw from the Agreement. The burden of proof relative to the exercising of the right of withdrawal, in accordance with this article, rests with the Purchaser. For the purposes of exercising the right of withdrawal, the despatch of the written advice may be replaced by the return of the product purchased, though in accordance with same terms and procedures specified in article 11. The date of consignment to the post office or to the shipper shall be applicable between the parties.
10.4 The goods must be returned without undue delay and in any case within 14 (fourteen) days from the date on which the Purchaser advises the Seller of his/her decision to withdraw from the Agreement.

10.7 The Purchaser who has exercised his/her right of withdrawal as described herein shall receive reimbursement of the amounts already paid, with the exception of any supplementary costs relating to methods of delivery expressly selected by the Purchaser and other than the more economical method of delivery offered by the Seller. Said amounts shall be reimbursed without undue delay, and in any case not later than 14 days from the day on which the Seller has been informed of the Purchaser’s decision to withdraw from the Agreement, and after the Seller shall have received the products via a reliable courier.

The rights specified in the norms governing privacy, as well as the Seller’s obligations concerning the provision of data, are examined online prior to the completion of the purchase procedure. The submittal of the order confirmation therefore implies full knowledge of such rights and obligations.

c) the right to obtain a declaration stating that the operations described in paragraphs a) and b) above, as well as their content, have been brought to the attention of those to whom the data has been communicated or transmitted, except in cases in which such measures should prove impossible or require the use of resources which are evidently disproportionate with respect to the right subject to protection. The Purchaser shall also enjoy the right of opposition, in whole or in part:
i) for legitimate motives concerning the personal data regarding him/her, even if pertinent to the purpose of its acquisition;
ii) to the processing of his/her personal data for the purpose of sending advertising or direct sales material, or for market research purposes or for commercial communications.

The ODR platform may be consulted by visiting http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

To this end, please be informed that the e-mail address of the Seller is: info@maximilian.it.
