Terms and Conditions of Service
1. Site Ownership
The Site and all its contents may not be reproduced, distributed, sold, transferred, or modified, even partially, without formal written authorization. Other products, services, or company names mentioned may be trademarks of their respective owners. The Owner reserves the right to modify, at its sole discretion and at any time—including after the User’s registration—the graphical interface of the Site, its content, and any other aspect related to its functionality. In such cases, the Owner will provide the User with any necessary instructions on how to use the updated features of the Site.
The Site may contain links to third-party websites not managed by the Owner, provided for reference only. The Owner is not responsible for the content of such external websites and makes no guarantees, disclaiming any liability in connection with them. Accessing such sites is at the User’s own risk. Reproducing, modifying, duplicating, copying, distributing, selling, or otherwise exploiting the Site for commercial purposes—as well as improper uses including acts of hacking or similar practices—is strictly prohibited.
Downloading or printing a copy of the materials contained on the Site is permitted solely for personal, non-commercial use. Unauthorized use of the Site and its content constitutes a violation of applicable intellectual property laws. The User agrees to retain all trademark and copyright notices included in any downloaded or printed materials. The use of such materials on any other website is strictly forbidden.
2. Purchase of Products through the Website
Purchases through the Site are allowed only for Consumer Users. The User must be of legal age and have the legal capacity to act, necessary to use the site, accept these Terms and Conditions, and assume any responsibility arising from the use of the site. The registered User is required to provide only their personal data and guarantees that it is truthful, accurate, and up to date. The User acknowledges responsibility for any use of the site by themselves or anyone using their personal data. If orders include any alcoholic beverages, the User will be required to provide proof of age upon receipt or delivery of the Order.
3. Product Offer, Contract Proposal, and Contract Formalization
The sales contract is considered concluded upon acceptance of the User’s proposal by the Owner. Acceptance is formalized by sending an order confirmation to the email address provided by the User and/or by displaying an order confirmation page on the Site.
In both cases, the order date, User’s details, product characteristics and price, any additional charges and taxes, as well as delivery address, timing, and any delivery fees must be clearly indicated.
If the product is unavailable, the Owner will inform the User of the new delivery terms and will explicitly request the User’s confirmation before proceeding with the order.
4. Right of Withdrawal
Pursuant to Articles 52 et seq. of the Italian Consumer Code (Legislative Decree No. 206/2005), the right of withdrawal does not apply in the cases provided for under Article 59 of the same decree, including, but not limited to:
- perishable food products or goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;
- sealed food products which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene once opened;
- products made or packaged to the customer’s specifications or clearly personalised.
For products that are not readily available on the market and are manufactured or procured specifically to meet the customer’s request, including, by way of example and without limitation, tin boxes and similar items, the right of withdrawal is excluded. Such products are sourced exclusively for the relevant order and cannot be returned, except in the event that the product is defective or non-compliant.
For all other products, where the right of withdrawal is applicable under the relevant legislation, the customer may exercise such right within the time limits and in accordance with the procedures established by law.
