(pursuant to Chapter I, Title 3, Part 3 of Legislative Decree 206/2005 as amended and supplemented)

 

1. Introduction and effectiveness of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale

The purpose of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter, the "General Terms and Conditions") is to regulate the distance sale of products and services made available, through the Internet, on the website www.bollcrem.com (hereinafter, the "Site") and the related payment and delivery, in compliance with the Italian regulations set forth in Legislative Decree 206/2005 and subsequent amendments and additions (hereinafter, the "Consumer Code").

The seller of the products and owner of the Site is: Bollcrem® is a registered trademark of La Baita del Formaggio.

The person who accesses the Site to make purchases (hereinafter the "Customer") is obliged, before sending the order, to carefully read these General Terms and Conditions - which constitute a binding agreement - made available to him/her on the Site and which will be consultable at all times by the Customer also through the link contained in the confirmation email of each order to allow him/her to reproduce and memorise them.  

Contracts concluded with Bollcrem® through the Site are governed by these General Terms and Conditions in accordance with Italian law.

 

The characteristics and price of the various products for sale on the Site (hereinafter referred to as "Product" or "Products") are shown on the page relating to each Product.

 

To purchase Products, the Customer shall fill in and send the order form in electronic format, following the instructions on the Site. The Customer shall add the Product to the Shopping Cart and, after having read these General Terms and Conditions (including the Course Regulations) and the Privacy Policy and confirmed their acceptance, shall enter the shipping and invoicing data, select the desired payment method and confirm the order.

 

By sending the order from the Site, which has the value of a contractual proposal, the Customer acknowledges and declares that he/she has read all the information provided to him/her during the purchase procedure and that he/she fully accepts the transcribed General Terms and Conditions and Payment Conditions, as well as the Privacy Policy.

 

The contract between Bollcrem® and the Customer shall be deemed concluded with the acceptance of the order by Bollcrem®. Such acceptance will be communicated to the Client through an email confirmation of the order itself containing a reference to these General Conditions, the order number, the shipping and billing information, the list of the ordered Products with their essential characteristics, the total price - including delivery costs - and the method of payment used. The Customer shall check the confirmation email and if he/she identifies any errors in the order (billing or shipping address, contact information or the like) he/she shall have a pre-established time limit from the receipt of such email to contact Customer Service directly from the Site using the appropriate contact form in the Customer Service area. This time limit will be 12 hours for purchases made with Standard Delivery and 2 hours in the case of Scheduled Delivery. Under no circumstances will it be possible to accept requests to change the contents of the shopping cart. Once this time limit has elapsed, the order will be put into processing for shipment and no further changes will be accepted, without prejudice to the Customer's rights under Article 7 below.

 

Upon receipt of the order, Bollcrem® reserves the right to check the actual availability of the products ordered; in the event that one or more Products are not available, Bollcrem® will proceed with the replacement of the Product with a similar one. If the Customer prefers, he/she may select a different option: at the Shopping Cart he/she may opt to have the product replaced with a similar one, to remove the missing product from the order or - if this option is available - to be contacted by Bollcrem® to propose alternatives. It is understood that such options are only available for certain Products.

 

If one or more products are missing, Bollcrem® will not charge the corresponding price. In the event that payment for the order was made by bank transfer, the refund shall be made in the manner described in point 5.3 of these General Terms and Conditions.

 

In the case of the purchase of products of variable weight (meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, bread, dairy products, etc.), the measurements and weight indicated on the Site are indicative, Bollcrem® does its best not to deviate from the weight requested; however, it may happen that there are slight variations, either in excess or in defect. Please refer to point 5.2 of these General Terms and Conditions for the method of charging the actual amount.

 

2. Product Information

The information and characteristics relating to the Products are available, with the relevant Product codes, on the Site. It is understood that the information of the delivered Products could be different from those reported on the Site for reasons not attributable to Bollcrem® (e.g. modifications made by the manufacturer on the Product) therefore it is necessary to always check the label and the information reported on the delivered Product. Bollcrem® does not assume any responsibility for the information reported on the Products by the individual suppliers.

 

The visual representation of the Products on the Site, where available, normally corresponds to the photographic image accompanying the description sheet. It is understood that the image of the Products themselves has the sole purpose of presenting them for sale and may not be perfectly representative of their characteristics and quality but may differ in graphics, colour and size. In the event of a difference between the image and the written product description sheet, the product description sheet shall always prevail.

 

Product prices include all taxes and duties. All prices are in Euro.

 

When placing the order, the customer will be asked for the postcode of the address to which they intend to send their order and the system will check in real time whether Scheduled Delivery or Standard Delivery is available for that destination. If the area is not covered by the Scheduled Delivery service, the order can be completed via Standard Delivery. Bollcrem® delivers the shopping only in the manner and areas specified on the Site on the basis of the postcode entered; therefore, it assumes no responsibility and does not guarantee delivery for any incorrect addresses not covered by the specific service.

 

3.1. Scheduled Delivery in Italy:

Scheduled Delivery is currently available in Rome, Milan, Turin and the surrounding area and has a variable cost, not included in the price of the Products, which will be specifically indicated (in Euros and inclusive of VAT) at the checkout before the order confirmation. If the customer wishes to restrict the time slot for delivery, he may request this before confirming the order by selecting a different time and day for delivery than the predefined ones. This reduction of the time slot requires an additional contribution from the customer. This surcharge is automatically calculated in the till by Bollcrem®, in cooperation with its shipping partner, based on various variables such as the destination of the order, the day and time chosen for delivery, the availability of couriers, etc. In any case, the total cost of delivery will be displayed automatically at the till according to the day and time of delivery chosen by the customer, and in any case before the order is confirmed by the customer.

3.2. Standard Delivery in Italy:

For all other destinations in Italy, shipping is handled with Standard Delivery. Delivery costs are displayed directly at the checkout (in Euro and including VAT), before the order is confirmed.

3.3. Standard Delivery Abroad:

For shipments abroad, only the Standard Delivery service is always available. Delivery costs are displayed directly at the checkout (in Euro and including VAT), before the order is confirmed.

3.4. In-store collection

For the city of Milan only, an in-store pick-up service is also available free of charge.

4.3 Invoicing of Orders

If the customer so desires, it shall be possible to request an invoice by checking the appropriate box during the order process and entering the invoice data including tax code and/or VAT number, company name if applicable, and SDI Receiver Code.

II. In case of exercise of the right of withdrawal, Bollcrem® will refund the customer the full amount of the returned goods, including shipping costs where applicable, within 14 days from the date of receipt of the notice of withdrawal, without prejudice to Bollcrem®'s right to suspend payment of the refund until the actual receipt of the goods. The refund will be made in the manner described in point 5.3 of these General Conditions.

III. Also in order to be able to guarantee free of charge the return pursuant to Article 8 below, the Products must be returned in the same box in which they were received.

- order of customised or clearly customised products;

- order of products that are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;

- order of sealed Products that are not suitable for return for hygienic or health protection reasons or that have been opened after delivery.

With reference to the cases of exclusion of the right of withdrawal listed above, the Customer, in particular, is informed and accepts that these include all food products (including wines, spirits and beverages), as the characteristics and qualities of these types of products are subject to alteration also as a result of improper storage. Therefore, for reasons of hygiene and protection of Customers, the right of withdrawal is applicable only to Products purchased on the Site that can be returned to Bollcrem® and put back on the market without any danger to consumers' health (such as books, gadgets, kitchen utensils, etc.).

In cases of exclusion of the right of withdrawal, Bollcrem® shall return the Products purchased and returned by the Customer, charging the Customer for the cost of return, or dispose of them if necessary.

 

6. Free Returns in the Event of Exercise of the Right of Withdrawal

As a more favourable condition for the Customer - in the event of exercising the right of withdrawal - Bollcrem® shall bear the full shipping costs for the return of the Products.

The Customer may cancel, postpone or request a change of shipping address of the order within a limited period of time from the conclusion of the order; in the case of Standard Delivery this limit is 12 hours, for Scheduled Delivery the time limit is two hours. After this time limit, the order will be put into processing and it will no longer be possible to request cancellation or change of shipping address.

The Customer has the right, at his or her choice and provided that the type of Product allows it, to the restoration, without charge, of the conformity of the Product by means of repair or replacement, or to an appropriate price reduction or to the termination of the contract.

In the event of a faulty or corked wine, the customer is asked to keep the bottle with at least 2/3 of its contents and its original cork and to report the alleged non-conformity to Customer Service. Bollcrem® will intervene as soon as possible by arranging a free collection in order to carry out a thorough inspection and propose the most suitable solution.

The Customer shall forfeit these rights if he does not report the conformity defect to Bollcrem® within a period of two months from the date on which he discovered the defect, unless the Product is by its nature perishable or subject to expiry within a shorter period, in which case the defect must be reported within that shorter period.

The legal guarantee covers all Products with a conformity defect existing at the time of delivery and manifesting itself within 24 months from the date of purchase (the purchase receipt shall serve as proof).
