2 - ORDERS

2.1 PRODUCT OFFER

The Products are presented in accordance with legal requirements and as accurately as possible.

There may be differences between the products delivered and those displayed on the website, in particular for artisanal products - for which the homogeneity of production cannot be totally guaranteed - or for those that have been modified due to technical or technological evolutions. These differences, if they do not concern the essential characteristics of the Products and do not affect their quality, cannot justify a cancellation of the order nor a refusal of the delivery. Centrufficio s.p.a. cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracy of photographs showing the items sold on the Website: we cannot guarantee perfect representation of the Products on the Website and/or on the catalogs, due to differences in color reproduction of Internet browsing software or display monitors used by the customer.

For the buyer, the order closes at the time of confirmation, while Centrufficio s.p.a. has to wait for the payment validation and for the order to be taken charge of.

4 - DELIVERY AND ASSEMBLY

4.1 DELIVERY METHODS

Once the order has been sent, the buyer will receive an e-mail with the information about the order and the estimated delivery date or the pick-up date at our warehouse, in case the customer has selected this delivery method.

Transport and assembly are always free of charge for orders over € 100 + VAT in Italy and in Canton Ticino.

For orders of less than € 100 + VAT, transport is € 9,90 + VAT (for Canton Ticino € 19,90 + VAT) and assembly € 9,90 + VAT.

In Switzerland (except for Canton Ticino), the transport by courier is free of charge for orders over € 100 + VAT, whereas assembly is not foreseen.

The assembly service is not available for Europe . The delivery fee is € 29/39/99 (depending on the country) for orders below € 500 + VAT, while it is free for orders over € 500 + VAT.

For countries outside Europe, the customer (or his courier) must pick up the goods at our warehouse in Italy, via Sondrio, 10, Pioltello (Milano).

If direct carriers/assemblers of Centrufficio s.p.a. will deliver the goods, the delivery office will schedule the date with the customer. If the ordered goods will be delivered by a courier, the delivery office will communicate the waybill/shipment number to the customer.

During the confirmation of the order, the buyer must communicate any obstacles to the delivery, for example if the destination is in a restricted traffic area, or if the delivery may be difficult because an elevator is not available.

If the carriers of Centrufficio  s.p.a. fail to deliver the products on the agreed date because the buyer isn't present or because no information on special delivery needs was provided, Centrufficio s.p.a. may charge extra delivery fees and/or cancel the order.

The risks of the Products are transferred to the buyer at the moment of delivery, or on the first day carriers from Centrufficio s.p.a. first show up (on the agreed date). 

If different Products from the same order will be available at different times, Centrufficio s.p.a. will propose to the buyer to split up the order. In the case of split delivery, delivery costs will be applied to each portion of the order. If the customer refuses a split delivery, delivery will be scheduled when all the Products of the order will be available. 

4.2 COMPLAINTS

Upon receiving the purchased items, the buyer must perform all the necessary inspections to detect any damage, missing packages, defects or other faults or non-compliance of the Products delivered with the order. In particular, the buyer must check the condition of the packaging, the number of packages and the Products in terms of quantity, codes, state and characteristics.

In the event of a complaint, the buyer must contact the Customer Service office of Centrufficio s.p.a. via email to:

Furthermore, the buyer must be able to prove the truthfulness of the claims, while Centrufficio s.p.a., its carriers or any other person appointed by them must have the opportunity to verify the claims. Therefore, the buyer mustn't intervene or ask a third party to intervene for this purpose.

If the claim is accepted, the damaged or non-compliant Product will be replaced or reimbursed in case the Product is out of stock in our warehouse or in our suppliers'. The returned Product must be delivered to the couriers in perfect conditions in its original packaging, along with all its accessories. Any goods returned spontaneously will not be accepted without the prior agreement of Centrufficio s.p.a.

Any defects, faults or non-compliances not reported at the time of delivery cannot be taken into consideration.
