Availability of products
Whenever the product that the Client intends to order is no longer available, the Client will be technically prevented from placing the order on the Site. Also, in a few exceptional and unpredictable cases, a product indicated on the site as available could result not available after the execution of the order; then, the contract between the Client and CRIERI will not be concluded and the Client will be notified about it; the product, therefore, will not be included in the Shipping Confirmation E-mail. In the event that the payment is made before the notice of unavailability of the Product, CRIERI will refund the sums eventually paid by the Client in the shortest possible time and in any case within thirty days from the communication about the unavailability of the product.
Compatibility, information about the product
The Client is required to verify, at the time of the order, that the products being purchased are compatible with the use to which the Client intend to use them. We invite the Client to use the Site as the ultimate reference point when checking compatibility. In case of discrepancy between the contents of CRIERI.com and any other site (or any other source of information), compatibility of the products as indicated on CRIERI.com will prevail at the moment of the purchase.
The Client is requested to keep in mind that, due to the limitations of reproduction of the images of the products on the screen , the exact color, size and design on the screen may differ from the actual characteristics of the products.
Despite what is written above, whenever the products that the Client has received do not correspond to what has been ordered, or whenever the delivery results incomplete or there had been damage in the transport, the Client is required, to receive assistance, to contact without hesitation CRIERI via e-mail or by phone immediately and in any case within the terms of the law.
Ownership of the products
The ownership of the products, and the relative risk, are transferred from CRIERI to the customer upon the receipt of the products by the latter.
Guarantees and legal rights
The client will be covered by a legal guarantee for items purchased that prove to be defective. In such cases the Client may alternatively: (i) request repair or replacement of the product (in his sole discretion, unless such remedies are excessively burdensome or impossible for CRIERI); (ii) if both of the aforementioned remedies are excessively expensive or impossible, the Client can ask to terminate the contract (with return of the purchase price upon return of the products by the Client) or the reduction of the purchase price; or (iii) claim compensation for incurred damages.
The purchased item is free from significant defects if, at the time of delivery it has the agreed quality. To the extent that no specific qualities have been agreed between the parties, the purchased item is considered free from significant defects if: it is suitable for the use for which is intended according to the contract; and/or it is suitable for the normal use for which is intended and its quality is normally present as in the items of the same type, and the buyer can expect such quality given the type of item. The term “quality” includes those characteristics that the buyer can expect based on the declarations on the specific characteristics of the purchased item made publicly by the seller, except in the case where, at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the quality has been changed but resulting to be always of the same level, or not relevant to the decision to purchase the article.
CRIERI may refuse to proceed with the type of remedy chosen by the Client, if this type of remedy is only possible with a disproportionate expense. In this context, it must be taken into account, in particular, by way of example but not limited to, about the value of the item free from defects, the entities of the defect, and the possibility of resorting to alternative remedies without causing substantial damage to the Client. In that case, the dispute will be restricted to the alternative remedy; and CRIERI’s right to refuse the alternative type of remedy will also remain, notwithstanding the above requirements. If CRIERI provides a defect-free product, in order to remedy the request of a Client for a defective product, CRIERI may request the return of the defective product.
The Client has the right to contest the defect of the purchased product only if he reports the defect to CRIERI, by registered mail, immediately after detecting it, or immediately after that he should have reasonably detected it.DEfect reports made within two months are considered timely. The legal guarantee, relative to the non-conformity of a product purchased with regard to what agreed in the contract, shall expire in two years from the purchase, notwithstanding the right of the Client to request a price reduction or compensation for damages, by way of exception in the context of legal actions aimed at obtaining the payment of the price of the purchased products.
The Clients are required to keep the order confirmation/receipt (and pass it on to the recipient of a gift product) as original proof of the purchase of the product which will have to be attached in order to activate the legal guarantee.
To manipulate, in any manner, the products purchased on the Site could damage them. Therefore, CRIERI will not be responsible for defects caused by such use, and the damage to CRIERI brand products resulting from such improper use will not be covered by guarantee.
Withdrawal, restitution and refund
The Client has 14 (fourteen) calendar days to withdraw from the contract concluded with CRIERI relating the item/s purchased on the Site without giving any explanation, with a unequivocal statement, using the return form available on the site, by registered mail or e-mail.
The 14 (fourteen) calendar day period starts from the time of receipt of the item purchased on the site or, in the case of a contract for the delivery of more than one item, from the moment of the receipt of the last item on the contract. In order to respect the deadline of 14 (fourteen) days, the date on which the withdrawal declaration is forwarded by the Client shall prevail.
The declaration of withdrawal will have to forwarded to: CRIERI S.r.l., Via Montenapoleone nr. 19, 20121 Milano or via e-mail to crieri@crieri.com
Legal consequences of the withdrawal
In case of withdrawal, the products received, accompanied by all the documentation received (as by way of example and non-exhaustive the document which contains the certification of diamonds), they must be returned within 14 (fourteen) calendar days from the date of the communication of the withdrawal. Whenever the products received, including any eventual prize/gadget received at the time of the purchase, cannot be returned, or can be returned only in part or only in conditions of deterioration, the client is required to compensate the relative value to CRIERI.
The client is requested to read the information in the “Treatment and care of the stones” Section available on the Site the and it should be noted that the disregard of what is indicated in this Section could lead to deterioration of the products purchased and, therefore, justifies the request from CRIERI, for the compensation for damages.
The Client is required to pay a compensation to CRIERI for the deterioration of the products received only to the extent that such deterioration was caused by an act not dependent on the verification of the properties and functionality of the product by the Client himself. By “verification of the properties and functionality of the product” is meant the testing and the inspection of the respective product as it would be possible in a retail store (not online).
Items that can be sent with a package must be returned with a package, while the costs and risks of the return shipment will be at the expense of CRIERI, as long as the Client uses the return procedure and the courier used by CRIERI to ship the goods.If the client chooses to return the item with a different method, the costs and risks of the return shipment will be at the expense of the Client himself. The refund of the amount paid by the Client (including initial delivery costs) will be made by CRIERI within 14 (fourteen) calendar days from the receivement of the product to be returned by the client, using the same payment method used by the latter when placing the order. The client can assert his right to a refund only after the receipt, by CRIERI, of the returned item. CRIERI, however, reserves the right to verify that the returned products are in their original conditions and, therefore, reserve the right to suspend the refund until CRIERI’s Quality control Office has verified that the goods have been delivered in accordance with what is reported in the following points:
- the product and its packaging must be in the same conditions as they were when received;
- the document containing the certification of diamonds and/or stones is intact and in perfect conditions.
CRIERI also reserves the right to claim compensation for the damage from the Client for returned products that are damaged or used.
Exceptions to exercise the right of withdrawal within the deadline prescribed
Pursuant to Article 59, paragraph 1, letter c) of the Legislative Decree no.206/2005 (Code of Consumption) the right of withdrawal is not recognized for the supply of personalized goods (by personalized goods we mean, by way of example and non-exhaustively, the products engraved on the Client’s indication)
We recall that when the Client buys a set of jewelry and intends to return one or more products, in order to obtain a refund, it is necessary to return the entire set and therefore it will not be possible to partially withdraw from the order in order to return only some of the products that are part of the set. By jewelry set is meant, as an example and non-exhaustive, earrings, parure.
The right of withdrawal, however, is excluded if the product has been manipulated and/or used beyond what is strictly necessary to establish the nature, the characteristics and the functioning.
