5. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

CONSUMER INFORMATION ON THE EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL (Pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 206 of September 6, 2005, as amended by Legislative Decree No. 21 of February 21, 2014, transposing European Directive 2011/83)

In accordance with all applicable legal provisions, Erise s.r.l. guarantees the consumer the possibility to return the product or withdraw from the purchase. Pursuant to Articles 45 et seq. of Legislative Decree No. 206 of September 6, 2005, and subsequent amendments and additions, if the customer is a consumer (i.e. a natural person who purchases goods for purposes not related to his professional activity, or does not make the purchase by indicating in the order form to Erise s.r.l.a reference to VAT), has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract for any reason, without the need to provide explanations and without any penalty, without prejudice to what is indicated later.

In particular, pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 21 of February 21, 2014, implementing the European Directive 2011/83 on consumer rights, in order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the customer must send Erise s.r.l. a notice to that effect, within 14 days from:

in the case of one or more goods ordered by the customer in a single order and delivered at the same time, from the date on which the customer himself or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by the customer, acquires physical possession of the goods;

or, in the case of several goods ordered by the customer in one order and delivered separately, from the date on which the customer himself or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by the customer, acquires physical possession of the last good. Such notice, containing an express declaration of withdrawal, must be sent compulsorily in writing, within the aforementioned 14-day period, by e-mail to: [email protected]

The notice of withdrawal may be drafted, at the customer's option, either in free form, provided it contains the explicit statement of withdrawal, or using the standard withdrawal form at the end of this notice. Once we have received the aforementioned notice of withdrawal, the Customer Service of Erise s.r.l. will quickly provide the customer with instructions on how to return the goods, which must be received by Erise s.r.l. within 14 days of authorization to return.

If the notice of withdrawal is not sent by the customer to Erise s.r.l. within the period of 14 days as set forth above, the customer will automatically forfeit the right of withdrawal, with the consequence that he/she will no longer be able to demand from Erise s.r.l. any type of refund, not even partial. Pursuant to the law in force, the burden of proof regarding the exercise of the right of withdrawal is borne by the customer, who therefore, in the event of any dispute, must prove that he/she has correctly communicated the withdrawal in the manner and within the timeframe explained above.

The goods must be returned intact, complete with all its parts, without any signs of use, wear or dirt.

The risk of loss of or damage to the goods, due to causes not attributable to the seller, shall be transferred to the customer only at the time when the latter, or a third party designated by him and other than the carrier, takes physical possession of the goods. However, the said risk transfers to the customer already at the time of delivery of the goods to the carrier, if the latter has been chosen by the customer and such choice has not been proposed by the seller, without prejudice to the customer's rights against the carrier.

The right of withdrawal is not affected by the seller's choice.

The right of withdrawal is, however, subject to the following conditions:

  • The right applies to the purchased product in its entirety; it is not possible to exercise withdrawal only on part of the purchased product (e.g.: accessories, manuals, cables, etc.);
  • The purchased goods must be returned intact and in original packaging, complete in all its parts (including any documentation and accessory equipment: manuals, cables, etc...)
  • The shipping costs related to the return of goods are the total and exclusive responsibility of the customer;
  • In the case of spare parts and accessories ordered based on the chassis number of the customer's car, product code or through photos and detailed technical specifications, the costs of restocking are the responsibility of the customer. For each specific case, we will send an estimate of the costs to be incurred for the return;
  • In case of supervening unavailability of a single part within a multiple order, a refund will be made only for the unavailable spare part;
  • The shipment by the customer of returned products, until the certificate of receipt in our warehouse, is under the complete responsibility of the customer; therefore, in case of damage, during transport, of returned products, Erise s.r.l. will notify the customer of the incident (within 5 working days of receipt of the goods in their warehouses), to enable him to file a timely complaint against the courier of his choice and obtain reimbursement of the value of the property (if insured); in this case, the product will be made available to the customer for its return to the latter, at the expense borne by the same customer, simultaneously canceling the request for withdrawal;
  • Erise s.r.l. is not responsible in any way for damage or theft/loss of goods returned by uninsured shipments;

On arrival at the warehouse, the product will be examined to assess any damage or tampering not resulting from transport. If the packaging and / or the original packaging are damaged, Erise s.r.l.will deduct from the refund due a percentage, but no more than 10% of it, as a contribution to the costs of restoration. Without prejudice to any costs of restoration for damage to the original packaging, Erise s.r.l. will refund the customer the full amount already paid, less shipping costs, within 14 days of the return of the goods to the warehouse, for which the refund will be suspended until receipt of the goods, using the same means of payment used by the customer for the initial transaction, unless the customer has expressly agreed otherwise; in any case, the customer will not incur any cost as a result of this refund. In the event that the reimbursement is to be made by bank transfer, it will be the responsibility of the customer to promptly provide the bank details on which to obtain the reimbursement (IBAN Code, domiciliary Bank and account holder), so that in the event of late communication of such data by the customer, which should occur after the deadline of 14 days established for the reimbursement, for such delayed reimbursement can not in any case be held responsible Erise s.r.l.. In any case, the customer will not be reimbursed for the additional costs of shipping and delivery of the goods incurred by the latter, if the customer himself has expressly chosen a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of delivery offered Erise s.r.l. The right of withdrawal is totally forfeited, for lack of the essential condition of integrity of the goods (packaging and/or its contents) returned, in cases where Erise s.r.l. ascertains:

  • the non-diligent use of the good that has compromised its integrity, or the use of any consumables
  • the lack of the original outer packaging and/or inner packaging;
  • the absence of integral elements of the product (accessories, cables, manuals, parts, etc.);
  • the damage of the product due to causes other than its transport.

In the event of forfeiture of the right of withdrawal, the goods will remain at the headquarters of Erise s.r.l. at the disposal of the Customer for collection at His expense.

The right of withdrawal is not provided in case of sale of the products to companies and/or legal persons.
