UNAVAILABLE PRODUCT

In any case of unavailability of the Product ordered, without prejudice to the rights attributed to the user by law and, in particular, by Chapter XIV of Title II of Book IV of the Civil Code, the user shall be promptly informed by e-mail or by telephone. The user shall, therefore, be entitled to terminate the contract, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 61, paragraphs IV and V of the Consumer Code. In the event that the user avails himself of the right to terminate the contract pursuant to Article 61, paragraphs IV and V of the Consumer Code, or in any case in which payment of the Total Amount Due has already been made, Takius shall reimburse the amount without undue delay and, in any case, within a maximum period of 15 working days from the date of collection. This amount will normally be credited to the same means of payment used by the user for the purchase or the different means agreed between the user and Takius. Any delays in crediting may depend on the bank, the type of credit card or the payment solution used.

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

The user who is a consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract concluded with Takius in accordance with Legislative Decree 206/2005 (Consumer Code), without incurring any costs other than those indicated in this article and without having to specify the reason, within fourteen (14) calendar days (Withdrawal Period). The Withdrawal Period expires after 14 days:

in the case of an order for a single Product, from the day on which the user or a third party other than the carrier and designated by the user acquires physical possession of the Product

in the case of a Multiple Order with separate deliveries, from the day on which the user or a third party other than the carrier and designated by the user acquires physical possession of the last Product

in the case of an order for the delivery of a Product consisting of multiple lots or pieces, from the day on which the user or a third party other than the carrier and designated by the user acquires physical possession of the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the user must inform Takius of his decision to withdraw, before the expiry of the Withdrawal Period.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the user must send an email to web@takius.it with an explicit declaration of his decision to withdraw from the contract (Declaration of Withdrawal). Since the burden of proof relating to the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the Withdrawal Period is on the user, it is in the user's interest to keep a copy of the email sent to Takius with the Declaration of Withdrawal.

For the return of the Product, the user can use a carrier of his choice with the cost of return borne by the user: in this case, the user, after having exercised the right of withdrawal in the manner indicated in this article, must return the Product to Takius, using a carrier of his choice and at his own expense, without undue delay and in any case within the period of 14 calendar days from the date on which he communicated to Takius his decision to withdraw. The deadline is met if the user returns the Product before the expiry of the seven-day period. The Product, properly protected and packaged, must be sent to the following address:

Takius Srl

Via Litto, 159 - First Floor 83022 Baiano (AV) - Italy

​

The direct costs of returning the Product to Takius shall be borne by the user. The return of the Product to Takius is the responsibility of the user.

If the user has used a discount code for the purchase of the Product for which the user has exercised the right of withdrawal, the refund shall be made only with reference to the amount of money actually spent by the user, and not also with regard to the value of the discount code.

If the user withdraws from the contract, Takius will proceed with the refund of the Total Amount Due paid by the user for the Product, without undue delay and in any case no later than 14 calendar days from the day on which Takius received the Products subject to withdrawal in the same condition in which they were sold. The refund shall be made using the same means of payment used by the user for the initial transaction or the different means agreed between the parties; in any case, the user shall not incur any additional costs as a result of such a refund.

The user shall only be liable for any decrease in the value of the goods resulting from any handling of the Product other than those necessary to recognise the Product with certainty. The Product shall in any case be stored, handled and inspected with normal diligence and returned intact, complete in all its parts, with all accessories present, still attached to the Product and intact and not tampered with, as well as free of signs of wear and tear or dirt. Moreover, withdrawal applies to the Product in its entirety. It cannot therefore be exercised in relation to parts and/or accessories (that do not constitute independent Products) of the Product.

In the event that the withdrawal is not exercised in accordance with the provisions of the applicable legislation, it shall not result in the termination of the contract and, consequently, shall not give rise to any right to reimbursement. Takius shall notify the user and reject the request for withdrawal. The Product, if already received by Takius, will remain at Takius at the disposal of the user for collection, which must be done at the expense and under the responsibility of the user.

In the event that the Product for which the withdrawal has been exercised has suffered a decrease in value as a result of handling the good other than that necessary to clearly identify it, the refund amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to this decrease in value. Takius shall notify the user of this circumstance and the resulting reduced reimbursement amount, providing the user, in the event that the reimbursement has already been paid, with the bank details for payment of the amount owed by the user as a result of the diminished value of the Product.

In the event that, one of the cases provided for by law, the right of withdrawal does not apply, such exclusion shall be specifically and expressly communicated in the Product Sheet and, in any case, during the purchase process, before the user proceeds to transmit the order. In any case, the user is reminded that, pursuant to Article 59 of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal is excluded, inter alia, in the event that the sale relates to:

(i) custom-made or clearly customised products.

APPLICABLE LAW AND COMPETENT COURT; OUT-OF-COURT SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES - ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION / ONLINE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Contracts concluded between users of the Site and Takius are governed by Italian law.

Pursuant to Article 141-sexies, paragraph 3 of Legislative Decree No. 206 of 6 September 2005 (Consumer Code), Takius informs the user who has the status of consumer pursuant to Article 3, paragraph 1, lett. a) of the Consumer Code, that in the event that he or she has submitted a complaint to Takius, as a result of which it has not been possible to find a negotiated solution, Takius will provide information about the Alternative Dispute Resolution bodies for the out-of-court settlement of disputes relating to obligations arising from a contract concluded on the basis of these General Conditions of Sale (so-called ADR bodies, as indicated in Articles 141-bis et seq. of the Consumer Code).

Takius also informs users who have the status of consumer as defined in Article 3(1)(a) of the Consumer Code that a European platform has been established for the online resolution of consumer disputes (the so-called ODR platform). The ODR platform can be consulted at the following address http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/; through the ODR platform the consumer user can consult the list of ADR entities, find the link to the site of each of them and initiate an online dispute resolution procedure for the dispute in which he/she is involved.

This is without prejudice, in any event, to the consumer's right to appeal to the ordinary courts having jurisdiction over the dispute arising from these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

The user residing in a member state of the European Union other than Italy may, in addition, have access, for any dispute relating to the application, execution and interpretation of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, to the European procedure established for small claims, by Council Regulation (EC) No. 861/2007 of 11 July 2007, provided that the value of the dispute does not exceed, excluding interests, fees and expenses, Euro 2,000.00.
