Termination of the entire Multiple Order will be possible only in the case of clear and proven ancillary nature of the Multiple Order Product(s) that have become unavailable to the other available Multiple Order Product(s).

8.6. It is, in any case, without prejudice to the right to compensation for damages under Article 61 of the Consumer Code, which provides that in the event of non-delivery within 30 days of the conclusion of the contract, the Consumer shall grant an additional period of time to the Seller, after which the contract will be terminated and the consumer will be entitled to reimbursement and compensation for damages actually proved.
8.7.

Purchasers who have purchased on the Site and who do not have the status of “Consumer” will still be subject to the warranty for defects in the thing sold, the warranty for defects in promised and essential qualities and the other warranties provided by the Civil Code with the relative terms, forfeitures and limitations.
11.2. What is conformity defect
11.2.1. A conformity defect occurs when the purchased textile or assimilated Product:
- Is not suitable for the use to which goods of the same type are ordinarily put;
- does not conform to the description made by the Seller and does not possess the qualities of the good that the Seller has presented to the Buyer as a sample or model;
- does not present the usual qualities and performance of a good of the same type, which the Buyer can reasonably expect, taking into account also the statements made in advertising or labeling or in the “Product Sheet.”
- is not suitable for the particular use intended by the Buyer and which was brought to the knowledge of the Seller by the Buyer at the time of the conclusion of the contract.
11.2.2. For the purposes of the aforementioned Legal Warranty, obvious or visible defects are those which can be detected by sight on the Product at the time of delivery and which are detrimental to the finished garment.
11.2.3. Hidden, or non-visible, defects are considered to be those that can be detected, in deviation from the provisions of the “Product Sheet” and the characteristics of the “standard piece”, only with scientific equipment, or, those that appear during, or after processing, packaging or general processing operations, allowed by the “Product Sheet”.
11.2.4. The intrinsic characteristics of the Product specified in the “Product Sheet” cannot be considered to be the subject of a defect claim.
11.2.5. With regard to tolerance on the defectiveness of the Products, the specific provisions of the “Product Sheet” shall prevail.
11.2.6. Tolerances are not to be considered allowances, so on tolerable defects, the Buyer is still entitled to receive refunds or possible price reductions.
11.2.7. The preceding paragraph shall not apply to Products characterized by special research and innovation, provided that such characteristics have been previously and manifestly declared by the Seller in the “Product Sheet.”
11.3. When applying
11.3.1. Seller shall be liable to Buyer for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the Product that becomes apparent within two years of such delivery, for Products properly stored and used in accordance with Seller’s directions also available on the product sheets.
11.3.2. The lack of conformity must be reported to the Seller, under penalty of forfeiture of the warranty, within 2 (two) months from the date on which it was discovered.
11.3.3. Reporting is not necessary if the Seller has acknowledged the existence of the defect or concealed it.
11.3.4. Unless proven otherwise, it shall be presumed that conformity defects arising within 6 (six) months after delivery of the Product already existed on that date, unless such assumption is inconsistent with the nature of the good or the nature of the conformity defect.
11.3.5. Therefore, to be eligible for the Legal Warranty, the Buyer must first provide proof of purchase and delivery of the Product.
11.4. Remedies available to the Buyer
11.4.1. In the event of a lack of conformity duly reported within the terms, the Buyer shall be entitled, as a primary matter, to repair or replacement of the goods free of charge, unless the remedy sought is objectively impossible or excessively burdensome compared to the other.
11.4.2. The request must be made in writing, either by registered letter with return receipt or by certified e-mail, to the Seller, who shall indicate his willingness to carry out the request, or the reasons preventing him from doing so, within 7 (seven) working days of receipt. In the same communication, where the Seller has accepted the Buyer’s request, it shall indicate the method of shipment or return of the good as well as the expected time limit for the return or replacement of the defective good.
11.4.3. On a secondary basis, if repair and replacement are impossible or excessively burdensome (pursuant to Article 130, paragraph 4, of the Consumer Code), or the Seller has failed to repair or replace the goods within the period referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Buyer may request a price reduction or termination of the contract. The Buyer may also request a reduction in price or termination of the contract if the replacement or repair previously made has caused significant inconvenience to the Buyer.
11.4.4. Where the Seller has accepted the Buyer’s request, the Seller shall indicate the proposed price reduction or the manner in which the defective goods will be returned. It shall be the Buyer’s responsibility to indicate the manner in which the sums previously paid to the Seller shall be credited back.
11.4.5. The remedy sought is unduly burdensome if it imposes unreasonable expenses on the Seller in comparison with the alternative remedies that can be pursued, taking into account: the value that the goods would have if there were no lack of conformity; the extent of the lack of conformity; and whether the alternative remedy can be pursued without significant inconvenience to the Buyer.
11.5. What to do when there is a conformity defect
11.5.1. In the event that a Textile Product purchased on the Site, during the period of validity of the Legal Warranty, manifests what may be a conformity defect, the Buyer may contact Customer Service at the contact details given in paragraph 17 below.
