8. Consumer Rights, the Cooling-Off Period, Exchanges and Returns of Products, in accordance with consumer protection legislation
8.1 Pursuant to Article 52 of the Consumer Code, you have the right to withdraw from the contract concluded with the Seller, without any penalty and without specifying the reason, within fourteen (14) days, starting from the day of receipt of the products purchased on Ema-Bia.com.
8.2 To withdraw from the contract, you may use, at your option, one of the following methods, in accordance with Article 54 of the Consumer Code: i) use of the Return Form (conforming to the standard form pursuant to Article 49, paragraph 4 of the Consumer Code) to be completed and transmitted to Ema-Bia.com; ii) sending to the Seller any other explicit statement of your decision to withdraw from the contract.
The Seller will send you confirmation by e-mail that the withdrawal request has been received.
8.3 Once you have exercised your decision to withdraw from the contract, you must return the products to the Seller by handing them over to the courier for shipment within seven (7) days commencing from when you informed the Seller of your decision to withdraw from the contract.
8.4 You will not have to personally make the payment of the cost of returning the purchased products(free of charge valid for 1st return only).
8.5 Payment of the cost of returning purchased products will be made, on your behalf, directly by the Seller, who will therefore release you from any obligation to pay the shipper (1st return only). If you avail yourself of the right of withdrawal more than once, the Seller will in fact deduct from your refund a lump sum equal to the standard shipping cost of the purchased products. In addition, from the time the purchased products are returned to the shipper indicated by the Seller in the Return Form, the Seller releases you from any liability in case of loss or damage of the products during transportation.
8.6 The Right of Withdrawal – in addition to compliance with the terms and procedures referred to in Articles 52 et seq. of the Consumer Code, described in paragraphs 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 above – is understood to be properly exercised if the following conditions are also fully complied with:
the Return Form or other express statement of your decision to withdraw from the contract must be properly completed and submitted to Seller within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the products;
the products must not have been used, worn, washed;
the identification tag must still be attached to the products with product code , which is an integral part of the goods;
products must be returned in their original packaging ( if you want to return a kit, you must return all the items that make up the kit);
the returned products must be delivered to the shipper within seven (7) days starting from when you informed the Seller of your decision to withdraw from the contract;
the products must not be damaged.
8.7 If the Right of Withdrawal is exercised by following the procedures and terms set out in this paragraph 8, the Seller shall refund any sums already collected for the purchase of the products in accordance with the procedures and terms set out.
8.8 The sums will be refunded to you in the shortest time possible and, in any event, within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Seller became aware of the exercise of your right of withdrawal or ten (10) days from the date of delivery of the products to the Seller, we will activate the refund procedures, once we have verified that the terms and conditions indicated above have been correctly complied with, as indicated in paragraph 9.
8.9 If the terms and conditions for the exercise of your right of withdrawal, as set out in letters a),b),d), e) and f) of paragraph 8.7 above, are not complied with, you will not be entitled to a refund of the sums already paid to the Seller. Within 14 days from the sending of the e-mail notifying you of the non-acceptance of the return, you may choose to re-obtain, at your expense, the products in the state in which they were returned to the Seller, by notifying the Seller in the manner that will be communicated to you. Otherwise, the Seller may retain the products, in addition to the amounts already paid for their purchase.
If the conditions set forth in paragraphs b), c) and d) of Section 8.6 above are not met, you will not be entitled to a full refund of the sums already paid to the Seller. You will, in fact, be responsible for the decrease in value of the returned products, resulting from use other than that necessary for the purpose of allowing you to ascertain the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products themselves. In this case, a percentage of between 10 and 90 percent of the sums paid by you to the Seller for the purchase of the returned products will be deducted from the expected refund, as will be specifically communicated to you, via e-mail, by the Seller.
Within 14 days of the sending of the e-mail notifying you of the amount deducted from the refund, you may elect to re-obtain, at your expense, the products in the state in which they were returned to the Seller, by notifying the Seller in the manner that will be communicated to you. Otherwise, the Seller may retain the products and an amount corresponding to the percentage deducted from the refund.
9. Items returned because they are damaged, defective or incorrect
9.1 After the return of the products, the Seller shall make the necessary verifications regarding the conformity of the same with the conditions and terms indicated in paragraph 8. In the event that the verifications are positively concluded, the Seller shall proceed to send you, by e-mail, the relevant confirmation of acceptance of the products thus returned and provide for the refund. In the event that the verifications are not concluded positively, the Seller shall notify you, via e-mail, that there has been a decrease in the value of the products returned, resulting from your failure to comply with the conditions referred to in letters b) c) and d) of paragraph 8.7 above. At the same time, the Seller shall also notify you of the amount that will be deducted from the sums paid by you for the purchase of the returned products and make a partial refund; without prejudice, alternatively, to the possibility of re-obtaining, at your expense, the products in the state in which they were returned to the Seller, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 8.10 above
9.2Whatever method of payment you used, the full or partial refund shall be activated by the Seller in accordance with Article 56, I paragraph, of the Consumer Code, in the shortest time possible and in any event within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Seller became aware of the exercise of your right of withdrawal or ten (10) days from the date of delivery of the products to the Seller
9.3 The Seller shall make the refund using the same means of payment you used to purchase the returned products. If there is no correspondence between the consignee of the products indicated in the order form and the person who made the payment of the sums due for their purchase, the refund of the sums, in case of exercise of the right of withdrawal, will be performed by the Seller, in any case, towards the person who made the payment.
9.4 the value date of the re-credit will be communicated to you at the time of re-credit
9.5 In case of return of products, the Seller indicates DHL courier (http://www.dhl.it/) as the shipper for the return of products. Through DHL, using the label that will be sent to you together with the confirmation of receipt of the return form , you will be able to return the products to the Seller, without making the payment of the necessary fees yourself. According to the terms and conditions provided for the exercise of the right of withdrawal, this method in fact allows the Seller to pay directly, on your behalf, the cost of returning the purchased products, freeing you from any obligation to pay the shipper. This method also allows you to verify, at any time, where each package is, releasing you from any liability in case of loss or damage of the products during transport.
