CHARGING

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

Purchases made on our site are regulated by Legislative Degree n° 185 of 22/05/1999, governing distance selling, in cases where goods are delivered to the address of the purchaser or to a P.O. Box etc., given that such purchases are completed off the business premises. The importance of the regulation in question lies in the fact that the purchaser has the right of withdrawal.

WHO IS ENTITLED

European law states that the right of withdrawal can be exercised only by individuals (consumers) acting for purposes definable as other than the purposes of their trade or business. Accordingly, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised by corporate bodies, or by individuals acting for purposes connected with a trade or business. Similarly, right of withdrawal cannot be exercised in the case of purchases made by dealers or by buyers purchasing goods on whatever basis for resale to third parties.

WHAT IS INVOLVED

The consumer can withdraw from the purchase contract within a period of 10 working days from taking receipt of the goods and return the unwanted item/s to the vendor, who will refund the price of the returned goods. It is understood that in the case of special promotions, where the purchase of a given item is linked to another item offered at a much reduced price, or effectively at no charge, right of withdrawal can be legitimately exercised only by returning both of the items making up the purchase, as the promotional item remains linked to the normally priced item even if this same item is unwanted.

EXCLUSIONS

Right of withdrawal is not applicable to audiovisual products or computer software delivered sealed and subsequently opened by the consumer.

PROCEDURE

Before contacting SORMA Customer Service, the following documents and details should be made ready:
- original invoice (indicating order number, invoice number, customer code);
- in the case of a partial return, the original invoice, plus the item code/s of the product/s;
- details of the bank to which the refund will be transferred (CIN - ABI - CAB codes, Current account i/d of the invoice addressee, composed of 12 alphanumeric characters).
With these items of information to hand, the purchaser can contact SORMA Customer Service, who will explain the withdrawal procedure and at the same time give authorization for the return of the products. The procedure, briefly, is as follows: a signed written communication must be sent by letter, or faxed to +39-041-952071, stating the intention to exercise the right of withdrawal and indicating all of the above noted details (order number, invoice number and customer code, item code of the product/s being returned, bank details).

HOW GOODS ARE SHIPPED TO SORMA (RETURNS)

Having activated the withdrawal procedure, the original pack containing the product/s must be enveloped in a suitable box or wrapping, such as will ensure it cannot be damaged, marked, written on or altered in any way. SORMA reserves the right to refuse goods that are returned without the aforementioned procedure being observed.
Goods must be dispatched at the purchaser's expense to the address indicated by SORMA. Should the item/s arrive at the SORMA address in a damaged condition, SORMA will be entitled to refuse acceptance.
The number and year of the order must be noted in a clearly visible position on the outer wrapping of the shipped items. Items shipped without the order number indicated on the pack will not be accepted by SORMA, but returned to the sender at the sender's expense. SORMA will make no refund in respect of returned goods until the goods have been received.

HOW LONG BEFORE RETURNED GOODS ARE REFUNDED

No later than 30 days after the returned goods have been received, SORMA will credit the customer's account with a sum corresponding to the value of the goods indicated in the invoice. The amount credited will not include the cost of shipment, in accordance with section 5 para 6 of Legislative Decree 185 dated 22/05/1999.
Important: SORMA will be at liberty to refuse acceptance of components or products that have been shipped without the original packaging, accessories and manuals.

REPLACEMENT OF PRODUCTS

The procedure for replacing products shipped in error can be activated when a product dispatched by SORMA is different to the product ordered by the customer, and therefore not indicated in the customer's order. The procedure can be activated within 8 calendar days following delivery of the goods.
The replacement service can be activated by contacting SORMA Customer Service. The costs of shipment are met by SORMA, and shipment must be made using a SORMA APPROVED CARRIER.
The item must be returned in the condition in which it was delivered, that is to say with no marks or writing on the pack, and without having been opened or used in whatever manner.
Should the item indicated in the invoice be no longer available, SORMA will arrange for a Credit Note to be issued, and order the bank transfer of the credited sum to the customer's current account. The amount of a credit note, if issued, and of the relative bank transfer, will be calculated taking account of any discounts and promotions indicated in the invoice.

DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS

Products are delivered by the Carrier or the carrier's agent to the address indicated by the customer, which cannot be altered or changed once the order has been sent. On taking delivery, the customer must check the integrity of the pack containing the Product; should any abnormalities be noticed, these must be pointed out to the carrier or delivery agent immediately.

FAILED DELIVERY

Should the Carrier delivering the goods not find anyone at the address indicated, an advice note will be left indicating when the call was made. The Carrier will make a further attempt to deliver the goods on the next day; if delivery cannot be made on this occasion either, a FAILED DELIVERY is reported. In this situation the goods will be returned automatically to the sender and the customer has no grounds for complaint. Where products have been ordered and paid for, but could not be delivered, the customer can ask SORMA to have them re-delivered by writing to: SORMA SPA - Via Don Tosatto 8 - 30174 - Venezia Mestre.
Once the details of the transaction have been verified by SORMA, the products can be shipped again to the customer, after all additional forwarding expenses have been paid in advance.
