Compliance with the Contract: Goods are considered compliant with the Contract if they meet the following conditions, where relevant: i) they are suitable for the use for which goods of the same type are normally used; ii) they correspond to the description given and possess the qualities of the goods presented as a sample or model; iii) they have the usual qualities and performance of a good of the same type that the Purchaser can reasonably expect, taking into account the nature of the goods and, if applicable, the public statements made about the specific characteristics of the goods by the Seller, the Manufacturer or its agent or representative, in particular in advertising or labelling; iv) they are also suitable for any particular use desired by the Purchaser and communicated to the Seller at the time of conclusion of the Contract and accepted by the Seller, even by conduct (Article 129, paragraph 2, of the Consumer Code).

a) the way in which the goods were put into circulation, their presentation, their apparent characteristics, the instructions and warnings provided;
b) the use for which the goods can reasonably be intended and the behaviors that can reasonably be foreseen in relation to them;
c) the time when the goods were put into circulation. Goods cannot be considered defective solely because a further improvement of them has been put on the market at any time.
ONLINE SALE OF GOODS
3.1 With the Contract, the Seller sells to the Buyer, who purchases through telematic tools, the goods offered on the Site.
3.2 The CLIENT_ website presents the catalog of goods and/or services promoted online by the Seller. Such goods are accurately represented on the Site.
3.3 The Seller cannot guarantee a timely and accurate correspondence between the actual consistency of the goods promoted online and their representation on the Buyer's monitor. In case of discrepancies between the image of the goods visible online and the corresponding written information sheet, the latter will exclusively prevail.
UPDATING THE ONLINE CATALOG - AVAILABILITY OF GOODS
4.1 Through its computer system, the Seller ensures the processing and fulfillment of the order without delay, according to the procedures set forth in Article 5 of these General Online Sales Conditions. The Seller's electronic catalog indicates in real-time the available and unavailable goods, as well as the expected delivery times. The Seller confirms the registration of the order as soon as possible, forwarding the specific confirmation (so-called Order Receipt) to the Buyer by email.
4.2 If an order exceeds the warehouse availability, or for other reasons, the item is not available, it is the Seller's responsibility to promptly communicate to the Buyer the unavailability of the relevant good and, if possible, the waiting times to obtain it, asking for confirmation of the order again according to the different timing indicated by the Seller. Such communication will take place via email or telephone.
DESCRIPTION OF TECHNICAL PHASES NEEDED TO CONCLUDE THE CONTRACT
5.1 The contract between the Seller and the Buyer will only be concluded online. Once the Buyer has accessed the e-Shop, they must follow the procedures/instructions indicated therein to formalize the purchase of goods and/or services by completing the formats prepared by the Seller. If the Buyer intends to purchase online, they must duly select the desired goods and/or services one at a time, placing them in the cart configured by the Seller. Once the desired goods and/or services have been selected, the Buyer will be asked to close their cart by sending the list of desired references to the Seller. Before sending, a confirmation card will be displayed to confirm the purchase order of the selected goods and/or services, with indication of their respective prices, as well as the options given to the Buyer, who will have to identify the delivery, transport, and payment methods for the execution of the contract. Through the order confirmation, the Buyer agrees to check and validate, before sending, their personal data, the goods/services subject to the contract, their prices, with any shipping costs and/or additional charges, confirming the chosen payment methods and delivery address, as well as any other required data. The order confirmation format informs the Buyer in advance about the execution times of the contract, recalling the right of withdrawal, as well as other rights reserved by law to the Buyer. After performing the required checks, it will be the responsibility of the Buyer to select the interactive button - located at the bottom of the web page - by clicking on the box "Confirm purchase order with obligation to pay," thus forwarding the order to the Seller.
5.2 The online publication of goods and/or services through the Site constitutes a simple invitation to offer so that the Buyer formulates their purchase proposal. In this sense, the Buyer's order, previously confirmed by them, constitutes only a contractual proposal, subject to these general online sales conditions, which the Buyer declares to know and accept. The order confirmation - duly completed and verified as per instructions - will be acknowledged by the Seller with a receipt sent to the Buyer's email address solely for the purpose of confirming receipt in the Seller's computer system, which will then begin to process the order, verifying the data provided by the Buyer, such as the availability of the requested items. The Seller's receipt does not constitute acceptance of the purchase proposal. This receipt - with an attached "Order Number" to be used in all communication with the Seller - repeats, in addition to the information required by law, all the above data, which the Buyer will verify again by promptly communicating to the Seller any necessary corrections. If there is an incorrect indication of prices or other characteristics of goods and/or services promoted online, such as the unavailability of the requested goods, the Seller will promptly notify the Buyer, inviting them to make - if still interested - a correction to the order, or, after canceling the previous order, to submit a new one, according to the methods that will be promptly communicated.
5.3 The Seller has the right to accept or reject the order sent by the Buyer, without the latter being able to advance any rights and/or claims of any kind, even compensatory, for the non-acceptance of the order itself. The contract will only be concluded when a separate email (or message in the communication center on the Site or equivalent) of acceptance of the purchase proposal is sent, which will also contain information about shipping and the expected delivery date (Shipping Confirmation). If the order is fulfilled with different shipments, the Buyer may receive separate and distinct Shipping Confirmations.
PAYMENT OF PRICE, TAXES AND ANY INCIDENTAL CHARGES
6.1 The Buyer agrees to pay the price requested for the goods purchased online, according to the times and methods indicated on the Site.
6.2 The prices of the goods promoted through the Site, like any other expense related to the invitation to offer, are expressed in Euros.
6.3 The prices are inclusive of VAT and any other taxes. The shipping costs, as well as any incidental charges such as customs clearance, if present, although not included in the sale price, will be indicated and calculated by the Seller in the purchase procedure, before sending the order confirmation, and clearly specified in the order summary (order receipt).
METHODS, TIMING AND SECURITY OF PAYMENTS AND ANY REFUNDS
7.1 Payment for goods/services purchased online will be made according to the method chosen by the Buyer, among those expressly allowed by the Seller and clearly specified in the weroad.shop section of the Site. The use of the aforementioned payment methods does not entail any additional cost for the Buyer, subject to any costs borne by the Seller, duly proven and communicated to the Buyer.
7.2 Any refunds to the Buyer will be credited using one of the methods proposed by the Seller and chosen by the Buyer, and, in the case of withdrawal, within a maximum of 14 days from when the Seller received the returned goods at the destination address. However, the Seller may postpone the refund until receipt of the goods or until the Buyer has provided adequate proof of having returned them.
7.3 All communications related to payments take place on a dedicated encrypted line, which guarantees the storage of such information with a high level of security and in compliance with the current regulations on the protection of personal data.
DELIVERY TERMS AND METHODS
8.1 The Seller shall deliver the ordered goods without undue delay, no later than 30 days from the conclusion of the Contract, using the methods indicated on the website or, alternatively, chosen by the Buyer.
8.2 If the Seller is unable to ship the goods within the above-mentioned deadline, he/she shall promptly notify the Buyer via email or telephone using the contact details provided during the online registration and order submission.
METHODS OF STORAGE/ARCHIVING OF CONTRACTUAL DOCUMENTS
9.1 In accordance with Art. 12 of Legislative Decree No. 70/2003, as well as Arts. 50-51 of the Consumer Code, the Buyer is informed that every online order sent will be stored and archived in digital and/or paper format by the Seller, according to appropriate confidentiality and security criteria. For any copies or other requests in this regard, the Buyer is invited to contact the Seller at the following address: support@weroad.shop.
TERMS AND METHODS FOR EXERCISING THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
10.1 The Buyer has the right to withdraw from the Contract, without penalty and without specifying the reason, within 14 calendar days from the day on which the Buyer acquires physical possession of the goods.
10.2 The right of withdrawal may be exercised by communicating with the Seller via email at the address support@weroad.shop.
10.3 The Buyer must return the goods without delay and, in any case, within 14 days from the date of sending the communication of withdrawal to the Seller. The Buyer shall be responsible for the direct costs of returning the goods to the Seller. The Buyer is required to take every possible precaution in the shipment, using the original packaging or equivalent materials that preserve the integrity of the goods and protect them adequately during transport. The return of the goods following the exercise of the right of withdrawal must be made to the following address: Viale Cassala 30 - 20143 Milano (MI), Italy.
10.4 The Seller will refund the price of the goods for which the right of withdrawal has been exercised within 14 days from the receipt of the returned goods at the Buyer's shipping address. Generally, the Seller will use the same means of payment chosen by the Buyer for the initial transaction, unless the Buyer has opted for a different method of payment; in this case, any additional costs resulting from the different means of payment chosen by the Buyer will be borne exclusively by the Buyer. The Seller may withhold the refund until the goods are received or until the Buyer provides proof of having returned them.
10.5 Returned products must be unused and intact, in their original packaging complete with all parts (including packaging, documentation, and accessories).
10.6 Upon receipt of the communication in which the Buyer expresses his/her intention to exercise the right of withdrawal, all obligations connected to the Contract shall cease, subject to what is provided for in this Article.
10.7 In compliance with Art. 59 letter "e" of Legislative Decree No. 21 of 21/02/2014, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for goods that are not suitable to be returned for hygiene or health protection reasons. Returns of articles intended to come into contact with intimate parts of the person (e.g., underwear, bodywear, swimwear, monokinis, etc.) cannot therefore be accepted in any case.
CONFORMITY WARRANTY, CLAIMS, AND PROTECTION ACTIVATION; OTHER POSSIBLE WARRANTIES
11.1 The Buyer is guaranteed conformity of the goods to the Contract within the two-year period (2 years) from their delivery. Unless proven otherwise, any lack of conformity that occurs within 6 months (six months) from the date of delivery of the goods is presumed to have already existed on that date, unless this is incompatible with the nature of the goods or with the lack of conformity in question.
11.2 In the absence of conformity of the goods to the Contract, the Buyer may request, alternatively and without expenses, the repair or replacement of the purchased goods, or a price reduction, or the termination of the Contract, unless the request is objectively impossible to satisfy, or excessively onerous for the Seller pursuant to art. 130, paragraph 4, Consumer Code. If repair and replacement are impossible or excessively onerous, or the Seller has not provided for the repair or replacement of the goods within the agreed-upon terms or, finally, the replacement or repair previously carried out has caused significant inconvenience to the Buyer, the latter may request, at his discretion, a price reduction or the termination of the Contract.
11.3 The Buyer forfeits any right related to the Conformity of the goods to the Contract if he does not report the alleged lack of conformity to the Seller within 2 months (two months) from the date of its discovery. The aforementioned term does not apply if the Seller has expressly acknowledged the defect or knowingly concealed it. In any case, the report must specify the non-conformity found, as well as at least one photograph of the relevant goods, all accompanied by the fiscal receipt of the Seller proving the purchase made.
11.4 The Buyer must send the report and related requests, alternatively, to one of the following addresses: i) Viale Cassala 30 - 20143 Milan (MI), Italy for communications via registered mail with return receipt; ii) or, via PEC, to the following certified email address weroad@legalmail.it, or via ordinary email to the address support@weroad.shop. Once the report/request and related documentation have been received, the Seller will evaluate the lack of conformity reported by the Buyer and, after having carried out the necessary verifications, will authorize, or not, the return of the goods, providing the Buyer with a "Return Code" sent via email to the address provided during the transmission of the order. The authorization to return the goods does not constitute recognition of non-conformity. The goods - for which the Seller has authorized the return - must be returned to the address expressly indicated, together with a copy of the authorization for the return containing the "Return Code" and in full compliance with the precautions set out in Art. 10.3.
11.5 If the Seller is required to reimburse, in whole or in part, the price paid by the Buyer, the refund will be made, where possible, by the same means of payment used by the Buyer at the time of purchase of the goods, or, alternatively, by bank transfer. It will be the responsibility of the Buyer to communicate to the Seller, already in the report/request, the bank details to make the transfer in his favor and to ensure that the Seller is in a position to return the amount due.
11.6 The right to replacement is subject to the following conditions:
-
the purchased goods must be returned unused and intact, in their original packaging complete in all its parts (including packaging and documentation and accessory equipment);
-
the shipment, up to the attestation of receipt in our warehouse, is under the complete responsibility of the customer. We do not respond in any way for damages or theft
-
In case the item is damaged during transportation, it will be our responsibility to promptly notify the customer of the incident (within 5 working days from receiving the item), in order to enable them to file a complaint with the chosen courier and obtain reimbursement for the value of the item (if insured);
-
If instead the return is returned intact in all the above points, it will be our responsibility to refund the cost of the merchandise only (not the shipping costs) after 10 days from receiving the return.
11.7 All products (excluding underwear and perishable goods) can be exchanged if returned in the original conditions of sale, therefore unused or worn, with intact packaging, any packaging material, and warranty seals.
The product exchange can be made within 14 days:
for in-store purchases: from the date of purchase; for online purchases: from the moment of receiving the package; for orders with Local Pick Up: from the moment the order is marked as "completed". The products can be replaced with the same item in a different size or color. Otherwise, if the customer wishes to receive a different item, it is possible to receive a coupon (of the same value as the item that needs to be exchanged) usable on the e-commerce website.
The products can be exchanged under the same conditions as above, but only with other discounted products in the same merchandise category.
Shipping costs are always borne by the customer unless the returns are caused by defective products or order errors made by WeRoad.
NON-IMPUTABLE NON-PERFORMANCE - UNAUTHORIZED PAYMENTS
12.1 The Seller shall not be liable for non-performance or delayed performance of the Contract if it depends on disruptions attributable to force majeure, fortuitous events, or otherwise not attributable to the Seller.
12.2 The Seller assumes no responsibility for any fraudulent, illegal, or irregular use of credit cards, checks, or other means of payment, attributable to intentional or negligent conduct, even in the case of slight fault, of the Buyer with respect to the obligations of custody and timely communication to the issuer of said means of payment.
DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS, COMPENSABLE DAMAGES, AND RELATED BURDENS OF PROOF
13.1 The Manufacturer is liable for damages caused by defects in the goods promoted/sold through the Site. Pursuant to Article 116 of the Consumer Code, it will be the Seller who is responsible for the damage caused by the defect of the goods sold if he fails to communicate to the damaged party, within three months of the request referred to in the following third paragraph, the identity and domicile of the Manufacturer, or of the intermediary who provided him with the goods in question.
13.2 The damaged party may request compensation for damages caused by death or personal injury, or by the destruction or deterioration of something other than the defective goods, provided that it is normally intended for private use or consumption and used as such by the damaged party. In this latter case, pursuant to Article 123 of the Consumer Code, damage to something other than the defective goods will only be compensated to the extent exceeding the amount of € 387.00 (three hundred and eighty-seven euros). In any case, it will be the responsibility of the damaged party to prove both the defect and the damage, as well as the necessary causal connection between the defect and the damage suffered.
13.3 The request for damages, which must be drawn up exclusively in writing, must specify the goods that caused the damage, as well as the date and place of their purchase. Furthermore, if still in existence, it will be the responsibility of the damaged party to offer the goods in question for inspection, according to the instructions given by the Manufacturer, or Seller, or by third parties indicated by them.
13.4 Compensation for damages will be excluded if the damaged party, aware of the defect of the goods and the related dangers, has nevertheless voluntarily exposed himself to it. In the presence of fault on the part of the damaged party - who, using ordinary diligence, could have avoided the damage suffered - the compensation requested will be excluded or reduced in proportion to the severity of the fault attributable to the victim.
13.5 Any liability for the consequences resulting from a defective good is to be excluded if the defect itself is attributable to compliance with an imperative legal norm or other binding measure, or if the state of scientific and technical knowledge at the time the good was put into circulation did not yet allow it to be considered defective.
SPECIFIC HYPOTHESES FOR AUTOMATIC TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT
