The user will therefore be entitled, limited to the Product(s) that have become unavailable, to choose one or more different and substitute Products, or to renounce the purchase of the unavailable Products, without increasing costs but with the possible identification - where necessary - of a different delivery term, always without prejudice to the right to compensation for any damage.

          It is understood that, in both the aforementioned cases:

          • in the event of automatic cancellation of the order relating to the missing Product, or in the case of replacement of the same with an available Product, in any case in which the payment of the Total Amount Due has already occurred, Civita will reimburse the customer the difference relating to the lower price, relating to the canceled or replaced Product;
          • while, in the event that the unavailable Product is replaced with one or more Products of greater commercial value, the user will have to proceed with the simultaneous disbursement of the greater difference.

          Pursuant to the foregoing, in cases of termination of the contract, you will reimburse the amount due in relation to such Product(s), including delivery costs, calculated as indicated in the art. 8.3 below, and any other additional costs due in specific relation to such Products (Partial Amount Due) without undue delay and, in any case, within the maximum period of 15 working days from sending the order. The refund amount will be communicated to the user via email. This amount will be credited to the same payment method used by the user for the purchase. Any delays in crediting may depend on the banking institution, the type of credit card or the payment solution used. In any case, the value date will be the same as the debit.

          It is understood that the resolution of the entire Multiple Order will be possible only in the case of clear and proven accessory nature of the Products covered by the Multiple Order which have become unavailable compared to the other available Products covered by the Multiple Order.

If due, the amount of delivery costs due by the user in relation to a specific order is expressly and indicated separately (in Euros and including VAT) during the purchase process, in the order summary and, in any case, before the user proceeds with the transmission of the same. In the event of failure to indicate a specific delivery term, it will take place, in any case, within thirty days from the date of conclusion of the contract.
            8.3 In the case of partial withdrawal from Multiple Orders, the amount of delivery costs to be refunded to the user will be quantified in proportion to the value of the Product subject to withdrawal.
            8.4 The delivery obligation is fulfilled by transferring material availability or in any case control of the Products to the user.
            It is up to the user to check the conditions of the Product that was delivered to him/that he collected.

                  12. Legal Guarantee of Conformity

                  All Products sold on the Site are covered by the Legal Guarantee of Conformity provided for by the articles. 128-135 of the Consumer Code (Legal Guarantee).

                  TO WHOM IT APPLIES
                  The Legal Guarantee is reserved for consumers. It, therefore, applies only to users who have made a purchase on the Site for purposes unrelated to any entrepreneurial, commercial, artisanal or professional activity carried out. Those who have purchased on the Site and who do not have the status of consumers will be subject to the guarantees for defects in the goods sold, the guarantee for defects in promised and essential qualities and the other guarantees provided for by the civil code with the relative terms, forfeitures and limitations.

                  WHEN IT APPLIES
                  The seller is responsible towards the consumer for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the Product and which appears within two years of such delivery. The lack of conformity must be reported to the seller, under penalty of forfeiture of the guarantee, within two months from the date on which it was discovered.
                  Unless proven otherwise, it is presumed that defects of conformity which appear within six months of delivery of the Product already existed on that date, unless this hypothesis is incompatible with the nature of the Product or the nature of the lack of conformity. Starting from the seventh month following delivery of the Product, it will be the consumer's burden to prove that the lack of conformity already existed at the time of delivery of the same.
                  In order to take advantage of the Legal Guarantee, the user must first provide proof of the date of purchase and delivery of the goods. It is therefore advisable for the user, for the purposes of this proof, to keep the purchase invoice that Civita sends him, or any other document that can certify the date of purchase (for example the card statement credit) and the delivery date.

                  WHAT IS THE DEFECT OF CONFORMITY
                  There is a lack of conformity when the purchased good:
                  - it is not suitable for the use for which goods of the same type are usually used;
                  - does not conform to the description made by the seller and does not possess the qualities of the goods that the seller presented to the consumer as a sample or model;
                  - does not present the usual qualities and performances of a good of the same type, which the consumer can reasonably expect, also taking into account the declarations made in advertising or labelling;
                  - it is not suitable for the particular use desired by the consumer and which was brought to the attention of the seller at the time of conclusion of the contract and which the seller accepted.
                  Any failures or malfunctions or defects of any other type caused by accidental events or the user's responsibility or by use of the Product that does not comply with its intended use and/or as provided in the documentation are therefore excluded from the scope of the Legal Guarantee. technique attached to the Product, where existing, or in the instructions for use relating to the same.

                  REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU
                  In the event of a lack of conformity duly reported within the terms, the user has the right:
                  - primarily, to the free replacement of the good, unless the requested remedy is objectively impossible or excessively onerous compared to the other and, therefore, in the specific case, considering the type of sale, to the replacement, where this is possible in relation to the number of copies still available for sale;
                  - secondarily (i.e. in the event that the replacement is impossible or excessively expensive or the replacement was not carried out within a reasonable time or the previously carried out replacement caused significant inconvenience to the consumer) to the termination of the contract.
                  The requested remedy is excessively onerous if it imposes unreasonable expenses on the seller in comparison to the alternative remedies that can be used, taking into account (i) the value that the goods would have if there were no lack of conformity; (ii) the extent of the lack of conformity; (iii) the possibility that the alternative remedy can be used without significant inconvenience for the consumer.

                  WHAT TO DO IN THE PRESENCE OF A DEFECT OF CONFORMITY
                  In the event that a Product purchased on the Site, during the period of validity of the Legal Guarantee, manifests what could be a lack of conformity, the user must contact Customer Service, at the addresses and in the manner indicated in the art. 14. Civita will promptly respond to the communication of the alleged lack of conformity and will indicate to the user the specific procedure to follow, also to agree on the shipping methods of the goods, also taking into account the product category to which the Product belongs and/or the reported defect .

                  REFUND OR REDUCTION DUE TO THE APPLICATION OF THE LEGAL WARRANTY
                  In the event of termination of the contract, Civita will refund the user the total amount paid, consisting of the purchase price of the Product, shipping costs and any other additional costs. In the event of a price reduction, Civita will refund the amount of the reduction, previously agreed with the user.
