    Use of the Application implies acceptance of the Conditions by the User. If the User does not intend to accept the Conditions and/or any other note, legal notice, information published or referred to therein, he/she may not use the Application or its related services.

    The Conditions may be modified at any time.

    The applicable Conditions are those in force on the date of transmission of the purchase order or request for supply of a Product.

    Before using the Application, the User is required to carefully read the Conditions and save or print them for future reference.

    The Owner reserves the right to vary at its sole discretion, at any time even after the User’s registration, the graphic interface of the Application, the Contents and their organization, as well as any other aspect that characterizes the functionality and management of the Application, communicating to the User, where necessary, the relevant instructions.

  3. Purchase via the App

    All Products offered through the Application are described in detail on the relevant product pages (quality, features, availability, price, delivery times and costs, supply times, additional charges, etc.). Some errors, inaccuracies or small differences may arise between what is published on the Application and the actual Product. Furthermore, any images of the Products are only representative and do not constitute a contractual element.

    Purchases of one or more Products through the Application are permitted to Professional Users.

    For natural persons, purchases are permitted only if they are of age. For minors, each purchase and/or request for supply of Products through the Application must be examined and authorized by parents or those exercising parental responsibility.

    The offer of the Products through the Application constitutes an invitation to offer and the order sent by the User will be considered as a contractual purchase proposal, subject to confirmation and/or acceptance by the Owner as described below. Therefore, the Owner will have, at its sole discretion, the right to accept or not the User’s order without the latter being able to object or complain about anything for any reason whatsoever.

    The contract of sale of the Products is considered concluded with the acceptance by the Owner of the User’s contractual proposal. The Owner will accept the User’s contractual proposal by sending the order confirmation to the email address indicated by the User, which will include the order date, the User’s data, the characteristics and availability of the Product, the price or method of calculating the price, any additional charges and accessory taxes, the times of supply and execution, the delivery address, the times and any delivery costs, the methods for exercising the right of withdrawal or its possible exclusion and the guarantee.

    The contract for the sale of the Products shall not be considered effective between the parties in the absence of what is indicated in the previous point.

    In the event that the Product is not available, the Owner will inform the User of the new terms of delivery or supply, asking whether he intends to confirm the order or not. It is understood that the contract will be considered perfected in relation to the Products accepted by the Owner.

    The User undertakes to verify the correctness of the data reported in the order confirmation and to immediately communicate any errors to the Owner and will keep a copy of his/her order, the relative confirmation and the Conditions.

  4. Registration

    To use the features of the Application, Users must register by providing, in a truthful and complete manner, all the data requested in the relevant registration form and fully accept the privacy policy ( https://effedistribution.com/privacy-policy/ ) and the Conditions.

    The User is responsible for safeguarding his/her access credentials, which must be used exclusively by the User and cannot be transferred to third parties. The User undertakes to keep them secret and to ensure that no third party has access to them and to immediately inform the Owner in the event that he/she suspects or becomes aware of any improper use or improper disclosure of the same.

    The User guarantees that the personal information provided during the registration process is complete and truthful and undertakes to hold the Owner harmless and indemnified from any damage, compensation obligation and/or sanction deriving from and/or in any way connected to the violation by the User of the rules on registration to the Application or on the conservation of the registration credentials.

  5. Account Cancellation and Closure

    The registered User may stop using the Application at any time and deactivate his/her account or request its cancellation through the Application interface, if possible, or by sending a written communication to the e-mail address info@effedistribution.com .

    In the event of violation by the User of the Conditions or applicable legal provisions, the Owner reserves the right to suspend or close the User’s account at any time and without notice.

  6. Prices and payments

    For each Product, the price and VAT, if applicable, are indicated. If the nature of the Product makes it impossible to calculate it in advance, the methods of calculating the price are indicated.

    Furthermore, any taxes, additional costs and delivery costs that may vary depending on the destination, the chosen delivery method and/or the payment method used will be indicated. If such items of expenditure cannot reasonably be calculated in advance, there will be an indication of which costs will be charged to the User.

    The Owner reserves the right to modify, at any time, the price of the Products and all possible additional costs. It is understood that any price changes will not in any case affect contracts already concluded before the modification.

    The User undertakes to pay the price of the Product within the times and methods indicated in the Application and to communicate all necessary data requested.

    The Application uses third-party tools for payment processing and does not in any way come into contact with the payment data provided (credit card number, name of the holder, password, etc.).

    Should such third-party tools deny payment authorization, the Owner will not be able to supply the Products and cannot be held liable in any way.

  7. Billing

    The User who wishes to receive the invoice will be asked for the billing data. For the issuance of the invoice, the information provided by the User will be valid, which he declares and guarantees to be true, releasing the Owner from any broader indemnity in this regard.

  8. Delivery methods for material products

    The Material Products (including any material goods with digital elements) will be delivered to the address indicated by the User, with the methods and within the time chosen or indicated on the Application and reported in the order confirmation. Unless otherwise specified, the delivery terms specified in the order confirmation indicate the period of time usually necessary to deliver the Product from the moment the courier takes charge.

    In the event that it is not possible to supply the requested Products, the User will be promptly notified via email, indicating when it is expected that they will be delivered or the reasons that make the supply impossible.

    If the User does not intend to accept the new term or delivery has become impossible, he/she may request a refund of the amount paid, which will be credited promptly in the same payment methods used by the User for the purchase, within a maximum of 14 days from the date on which the Owner became aware of the refund request.

    Upon receipt of the Product, the User is required to verify its conformity with the order placed and the integrity of the packaging. In the event that there is obvious damage to the packaging and/or the Product, the User may refuse delivery of the Product and may return it without any expense to him. Once the delivery document has been signed, the User may not raise any objection regarding the external characteristics of the Products delivered.

    The Owner shall not be liable to any party or third party for damages, losses and costs incurred as a result of failure to perform the contract due to force majeure.

  9. Method of providing services

    The Owner will provide the services to the User, in the manner and within the timeframe indicated on the Application and reported in the order confirmation.

    In the event that it is not possible to provide the requested services within this period, the User will be promptly notified by email, indicating when it is expected that they will be provided or the reasons that make provision impossible.

    If the User does not intend to accept the new term or the supply has become impossible, he/she may request a refund of the amount paid, which will be credited promptly in the same payment methods used by the User for the purchase, within a maximum of 14 days from the date on which the Owner became aware of the refund request.

  10. Users’ right of withdrawal from the purchase of material Products

    The Professional User has the right to withdraw without any penalty and without specifying the reason within 7 days from the date of receipt of the Product, by sending a written communication to the e-mail address info@effedistribution.com , using the optional withdrawal form referred to in the following article or any other written declaration.

    In the case of separate delivery of multiple Products, ordered by the Professional User with a single order, the 7-day term for exercising the right of withdrawal starts from the day on which the last Product was received.

    In case of withdrawal, the User must return the Product to the Owner, without undue delay and in any case no later than 14 days from the date on which he communicated his decision to withdraw from the contract. The User will only bear the direct cost of returning the Product, unless the Owner has declared that he will bear it.

    In the event of withdrawal exercised correctly, the Owner will refund the payments received from the User, in the same payment methods used by the User for the initial transaction, without undue delay and in any case within 14 days from the day on which the User communicated his/her wish to withdraw from the contract.

    The Owner is not required to reimburse delivery costs if the User has expressly chosen a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of delivery offered by the Owner.

    The Owner, unless he has offered to collect the Product himself, may withhold the refund until he has received the Product or until the Consumer User has demonstrated that he has sent it back.

    The Owner will not accept the return in the event that the Product is malfunctioning due to improper use, negligence, damage or physical, aesthetic or superficial alterations, tampering or improper maintenance or wear and tear, absence of integral elements of the product (accessories, parts, etc.). In such cases, the Owner will return the purchased Product to the sender, charging the latter the shipping costs.

  11. Users’ right of withdrawal from the purchase of services

    The Professional User has the right to withdraw without any penalty and without specifying the reason within 7 days from the date of conclusion of the contract, by sending a written communication to the e-mail address info@effedistribution.com , using the optional withdrawal form referred to in the following article or any other written declaration.

    In the event of withdrawal exercised correctly, the Owner will reimburse the User for the payments received, in the same payment methods used by the User for the initial transaction, without undue delay and in any case within 14 days from the date on which the User communicated his/her withdrawal from the contract.

    The User acknowledges and accepts that he/she loses the right of withdrawal after the complete performance of a service. Where the performance of the service has not been completely performed and the User wishes to withdraw from the contract, he/she remains obliged to pay the Owner an amount proportional to what has been performed up to the moment in which he/she has exercised the right of withdrawal.

  12. Cases of exclusion of the User’s right of withdrawal

    The right of withdrawal from the contract of sale or supply of the Products by the User is excluded in relation to:

    • to the supply of Products whose price is linked to fluctuations in the financial market which the Owner is unable to control and which may occur during the withdrawal period
    • to the supply of Products packaged to measure or clearly personalized
    • to the supply of Products that are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. This category includes all food products (including beverages) whose characteristics are subject to alteration also as a result of inappropriate storage

    • to the supply of Products which, after delivery, are, by their nature, inseparably mixed with other goods

If, on the occasion of such visit, the Owner or a professional in charge provides services in addition to those specifically requested by the User or goods other than spare parts necessary to carry out maintenance or repairs, the right of withdrawal applies to such additional services or goods
    • to the supply of sealed audio or video recordings or sealed computer software which have been unsealed after delivery

  16. Disclaimer of warranty

    The Application is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis and the Owner makes no express or implied representations or warranties in relation to the Application, nor does it provide any warranty that the Application will meet the Users’ requirements or that it will never be interrupted or error-free or that it will be free of viruses or bugs.

    The Owner will endeavor to ensure that the Application is available 24 hours a day, without interruption, but cannot in any way be held responsible if, for any reason, the Application is not accessible and/or operational at any time or for any period. Access to the Application may be suspended temporarily and without notice in the event of system failure, maintenance, repairs or for reasons entirely beyond the will of the Owner or due to force majeure events.

  17. Limitation of Liability

    The Owner cannot be held liable towards the User, except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence, for disservices or malfunctions connected to the use of the internet network outside of its own control or that of its suppliers.

    The Owner assumes no responsibility for any fraudulent or illicit use that may be made by third parties of credit cards and other means of payment, as it does not come into contact in any way with the payment data used (credit card number, name of the holder, password, etc.)

    The Owner will not be responsible for:

    • any loss of business opportunity and any other loss, even indirect, possibly suffered by the User which is not a direct consequence of the breach of the contract by the Owner

  19. Link to third party sites

    The Application may contain links to third-party sites/applications. The Owner has no control over them and, therefore, is in no way responsible for the contents of these sites/applications.

    Some of these links may refer to third-party sites/applications that provide services through the Application. In these cases, the general conditions for use of the site/application and for the use of the service prepared by third parties will apply to the individual services, for which the Owner assumes no responsibility.
