    The Contract is governed by the Customer’s order, by the order receipt issued by Azienda Olearia del Chianti and by the Terms. When a decision to purchase has been made, the Customer adds the product to the shopping cart (a space for storing selected products, including specific characteristics, quantity and costs). Once all desired products have been added, the Customer completes the order. The order will only be processed after the Customer has confirmed the purchase.

    The Customer must be "logged in" to make purchases.

    If the Customer has not registered on the Site she or he will have to create an account. The Customer is obliged to keep data confidential and not to disclose or share it with third parties. A procedure is available for restoring lost passwords.

    Once an account has been created, the Customer can login using the name and password chosen during user registration.

    It is the Customer's responsibility to verify the accuracy of the order (products and quantity) before submitting it. Shipping costs will be added to the total amount. Azienda Olearia del Chianti is not responsible for errors made on the order form or relating to the online order process in general.

    If problems are encountered during purchase, order form submission or confirmation, please write Azienda Olearia del Chianti (info@oleariadelchianti.com), including the customer name (or company name) and a telephone number. An Azienda Olearia del Chianti representative will respond promptly.

    Having sent a copy of the purchase order, Azienda Olearia del Chianti will verify order processing and confirm product shipping to the address indicated. Said email is automatically sent to the address provided during user registration. The Customer is obliged to verify the accuracy of the email and immediately report any errors to Azienda Olearia del Chianti.

  Right of withdrawal

  The right of withdrawal is regulated by art. 64 et seq. (exercising the right of withdrawal) of Legislative Decree. N. 206 of 09.06.2005, subject to subsequent amendments. The right of withdrawal (art. 64 Legislative Decree no. 206/05) refers to the Customer’s right to withdraw for any reason and without penalty, from a purchase contract concluded at a distance (except as specified in section 4 of the present Terms). The right of withdrawal allows for a refund of the amount paid by the Customer for purchased goods and applies to purchases made by private consumers ("...natural persons acting for purposes not related to their professional activity...") , except for purchases made by retailers and/or corporate customers in general.

  The right of withdrawal, as set out by Law, is bound to the following conditions:

  • 1.

    The consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract without penalty and without justification within 14 working days of delivery, certified by a delivery note signed by the courier.

  • 2.

    The right of withdrawal is exercised by sending, within the deadline referred to in paragraph 1, a registered letter to:

    Azienda Olearia del Chianti s.r.l.
    Via degli Artigiani 17
    50022 Panzano in Chianti (Florence)
    Italy

    The letter shall include, in a way that is clearly legible, the following information:

    • A.

      customer name and surname;

    • B.

      address;

    • C.

      purchase order number;

    • D.

      a declaration of the desire to withdraw from the contract;

    • E.

      description and cost of goods.

    Notice may also be sent by certified email, provided it is within the time allotted, to oleariadelchianti@pec.it.

  • 3.

    Goods must be returned in their original packaging with all parts intact and in perfect condition. The right of withdrawal does not apply to sealed consumable products that have been opened by the consumer.

  • 4.

    According to law, shipping costs for returned goods are borne by the Customer, who also bears full responsibility for them until the moment they are received by Azienda Olearia del Chianti. Azienda Olearia del Chianti will not answer, in any way, for any damage, theft or loss of uninsured returned items. The shipment must arrive at the headquarters of Azienda Olearia del Chianti within 10 (ten) days of notification by the Customer of her or his desire to withdraw, otherwise the shipment will be refused. The Customer will be notified by email of receipt. On arrival, the goods will be examined so as to assess any damage or tampering (e.g. if they have been used, even partially). Should any evidence appear that the goods are in any way damaged or incomplete, the right to withdrawal is considered null and Azienda Olearia del Chianti will return the purchased goods to the Customer, charging her or him for the new shipping costs. If the goods have been damaged during transport, Azienda Olearia del Chianti will promptly inform the Customer within 2 (two) working days of receipt so as to enable her or him to file a timely complaint against the courier chosen and receive reimbursement (if insured). In this case the product will be made available to the Customer and the withdrawal request will be canceled, as Azienda Olearia del Chianti will be unable to sell or otherwise use the product.

  • 5.

    If the right of withdrawal is exercised in accordance with the provisions of art. 64 et seq. of Legislative Decree. n. 206 of 09.06.2005 as referenced in previous points, Azienda Olearia del Chianti will refund the amount paid by the Customer for the returned goods. This reimbursement will take place as quickly as possible and, in any event, no later than 30 days from the date of receipt of the returned goods.

  • 6.

    Reimursement will be made by the same payment method utilized by the Customer at the moment of purchase:

    • A.

      reaccredited to the PayPal account used;

    • B.

      reaccredited to the credit card used;

    • C.

      reaccredited to the bank account used.
