Art. 5 Conclusion and Effectiveness of the Contract
5.1 The online sales contract is concluded following the accurate completion of the registration form by the Buyer—whose personal data are processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy—and the acceptance of the “Terms and Conditions of Sale,” as well as the submission of the purchase form generated by the system after adding the selected products to the shopping cart.
Before final submission of the order, the Buyer will be invited to review the cart contents, including a summary showing the Buyer’s details, phone number, product prices, any shipping costs and additional charges, payment methods and terms, delivery address, delivery times, and the terms for exercising the right of withdrawal, where applicable.
5.2 Upon receipt of the order and confirmation of payment authorization for the total amount due, the Seller will proceed with order fulfillment.

Art. 14 Right of Withdrawal
14.1 Some of the Products are perishable food items or sealed goods that are not suitable to be returned for hygiene reasons or for reasons related to health protection if they are opened after delivery; with regard to such goods, the consumer does not have the right of withdrawal. Proper notice of the absence of the right of withdrawal is provided in the Product Sheet and during the purchase procedure. In any case, the right of withdrawal does not apply to the supply of goods made to measure or clearly personalized, nor to the supply of goods that are likely to deteriorate or expire rapidly.
14.2 If, with regard to the purchased Product, the right of withdrawal applies because the item is not perishable (e.g., porcelain items and various accessories), the following articles shall apply.
14.3 The Buyer, if acting as a consumer, has the right to withdraw from the contract concluded with the Seller, without having to bear any costs other than those indicated in this article and without having to provide any reason, within fourteen (14) calendar days (Withdrawal Period). The Withdrawal Period expires after 14 days:
a) in the case of an order for a single Product, the 14 days run from the day on which the Buyer or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by the Buyer, acquires physical possession of the Product;
b) in the case of a Multiple Order with separate deliveries, the 14 days run for each Product from the day on which the Buyer or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by the Buyer, acquires physical possession of the Product.
14.4 To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Buyer must inform the Seller of their decision to withdraw before the expiry of the Withdrawal Period. For this purpose, the Buyer may use the standard withdrawal form made available on the Website via a specific link, which must be sent to the following email address: shop@caffevero.it
14.5 To return the Product, the Buyer may use a carrier of their choice, with the return costs borne by the Buyer. In this case, after exercising the right of withdrawal as set out in this article, the Buyer must return the Product to the Seller using a carrier of their choice and at their own expense, without undue delay and in any event within 14 calendar days from the date on which they communicated their decision to withdraw to the Seller. The deadline is met if the Buyer ships the Product before the expiry of the fourteen-day period. The Product, duly protected and packaged, must be sent to the following address: Coffee Company S.p.A., Via del Commercio no. 12, 36100 Vicenza. The direct costs of returning the Product to the Seller shall be borne by the Buyer. The return of the Product to the Seller takes place under the Buyer’s responsibility; the Product is deemed returned when it is handed over to the carrier. If the Buyer used a discount code to purchase the Product for which the right of withdrawal has been exercised, the refund will be made with reference to the amount actually paid by the Buyer.
14.6 If the Buyer withdraws from the contract, the Seller will refund the Total Amount Due paid by the Buyer for the Product after assessing the condition of the returned item. The refund will be made using the same means of payment used by the Buyer for the initial transaction.
14.7 The Buyer is solely responsible for any decrease in the value of the goods resulting from handling of the Product other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the Product. In any case, the Product must be stored, handled, and inspected with due care and returned intact, complete in all its parts, fully functional, together with all accessories and instruction leaflets, with identification tags, labels, and the disposable seal—where present—still attached to the Product, intact and not tampered with, as well as perfectly suitable for its intended use and free from signs of wear or dirt. The right of withdrawal also applies to the Product in its entirety and may therefore not be exercised with respect to parts and/or accessories (that do not constitute autonomous Products) of the Product.
14.8 If the right of withdrawal has not been exercised in accordance with the applicable legislation, it shall not result in termination of the contract and, consequently, shall not entitle the Buyer to any refund. The Seller will notify the Buyer within 5 working days of receiving the Product, rejecting the withdrawal request. The Product, if already received by the Seller, will remain at the Seller’s premises available for the Buyer to collect, at the Buyer’s expense and under the Buyer’s responsibility.
