The distance contract is governed by Chapter I, Title III (Articles 45 et seq.) of Legislative Decree No. 206 of 6 September 2005 ("Consumer Code"), when it involves a consumer, and by Legislative Decree No. 70 of 9 April 2003, containing the rules on electronic commerce.

Please note, however, that registration on the Site is not mandatory and the User may proceed to send the order as indicated below;

  • Summary of the order: before placing the order, you can identify and correct any possible errors that may occur while filling in the fields and carefully read these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, of which you can print a copy using the print option in your browser, to keep a copy for your personal use;
  • Conclusion of the Contract: The Contract is deemed to be concluded when the order form arrives at the Seller's server and the information relating to the order has been preliminarily verified as correct. In case of payment by Bank Transfer, the contract will be deemed concluded when the Transfer is credited to the Seller's account;
  • Order confirmation: After placing the order, you will receive, at the email address indicated during registration, an email confirming receipt of the order by the Seller (the "Order Confirmation"), containing: the details of the Customer and the order, the essential characteristics of the goods purchased, a summary of the general and particular conditions applicable to the contract, the price of the goods purchased,  the chosen means of payment, the shipping costs, the applicable taxes and duties, the indication of the right of withdrawal and the shipping address to which the goods will be sent. The Client undertakes to verify the correctness of the data contained therein and to promptly communicate any corrections to the Seller at the email help@reinaolga.com
  • Order Cancellation: The Customer can only cancel the order within 15 minutes of completing the purchase. The Seller may cancel the order in the cases referred to in point 4.3. and in cases where the Customer fails to pay the amounts due for the product and shipping costs, as further specified below.

4.2. By placing an order, the Client declares that he/she has read all the information provided to him/her during the purchase procedure and declares to fully accept these General Terms and Conditions of Sale. By placing the order, the Client expressly acknowledges that this implies the obligation to pay the price and other amounts due under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and that the order cannot be modified or cancelled.

4.3. Orders are subject to the acceptance of the Seller who reserves the right, at its own discretion, to refuse the order, even in cases where:

  1. a) the order cannot be executed due to an error in the information provided by the Buyer at the time of placing the order (e.g. payment card; expiry date, etc.); incorrect billing address; insufficient or incorrect shipping address; misleading information;
  2. b) there has been an error on the Site: e.g. an error in the price or description of the product;

4.4. The purchase contract shall be terminated in the event of non-payment, even partial, of the price of the products, shipping costs, if any, and any other additional costs, as a result of the order ("Total Amount Due"). In the event that the Total Amount Due is not paid or the successful outcome of the payment is not confirmed, the purchase contract will be considered terminated by law. The Customer will be notified of such termination and the consequent cancellation of the order.

4.5. The Seller informs the Client that each order sent is stored in digital or paper form at its premises, according to criteria of confidentiality and security. The Client may request a copy from the Seller at any time.

  1. PRODUCTS AND AVAILABILITY

5.1. The Products on sale through the Website are described in the relevant information sheets ("Product Sheet"), which illustrate their main technical characteristics. It is understood that the images and descriptions included in the Product Sheet may not be perfectly representative of the products which may differ in color or size. The Seller undertakes to ensure that the products are represented as closely as possible.

5.2. All orders for Products are subject to availability. The availability of the products refers to the moment in which the Customer consults the product sheets and must in any case be considered indicative since the Site can be visited simultaneously by several users, and it may happen that, at the same time, several users place an order for the same product. Therefore, it may happen that the Site's computer system marks as available a product that is not actually available, as it was sold to others before the order is confirmed. In such cases, the Seller cannot be held liable for the unavailability of one or more products.

5.3. The Seller cannot be held liable for the temporary or permanent unavailability of one or more products. In the event of unavailability of the requested products, the Customer will be promptly informed by email and will have the right to request the cancellation of the order, with a consequent refund of any amounts already paid.

5.4. Alternatively, you may decide:  a) if a restocking is possible, to accept an extension of the delivery terms, offered by the Seller, with an indication of the new delivery date; b) to accept the delivery of only the available products, obtaining a refund for those that are not available; c)  to  accept a discount voucher to be spent on purchases on the site, within the terms, methods, and any limitations that will be communicated by the Seller.

  1. PAYMENTS

6.1. The Client undertakes to pay the price of the Products purchased within the time and manner indicated in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale. Any payment by the Client may only be made by means of one of the methods indicated in the footer of the Site and described below.

6.2. Credit Cards. We accept credit and debit cards from the following international circuits: VISA, MASTERCARD, MAESTRO, AMEX, UNION PAY. If, for any reason, it is not possible to charge the amount due, the sale process will be automatically cancelled and the sale will be terminated pursuant to Article 1456 of the Italian Civil Code. The Client will be informed by e-mail. You will be charged when your order is placed. Credit card data is encrypted and transmitted directly to the payment provider without passing through the servers used by the Seller.  

6.3. Digital Wallet. Payments via Digital Wallets such as Shop Pay, Google Pay are accepted. If the user chooses digital wallets as a means of payment, he will be redirected to the relevant site where he will make the payment according to the procedure provided for and regulated therein. These services use the latest and most up-to-date SSL security and data encryption protocols. Confidential data (credit card number, expiry date and cryptogram) are never stored by the Site, nor do they ever come into the possession of the Seller.

6.4 Cryptocurrencies. The possibility of making payment via cryptocurrencies with the use of the Utrust platform is offered. By choosing this payment method, the Client may be redirected to the website of the relevant service provider, where the payment will be made according to the procedure provided for and regulated therein. The Utrust service allows you to use any cryptocurrency for payment. The value of the conversion is determined once the purchase transaction is completed to protect the consumer from the volatility of cryptocurrencies.

6.5 Installment payment system. The platform offers the option to take advantage of installment payment via the  Klarna service (Klarna Bank AB). This service offers the possibility of deferring the payment in 3 monthly installments. By choosing this payment method, the Client may be redirected to the website of the relevant service provider, where the payment will be made according to the procedure provided for and regulated therein. The instalment payment service is offered by Klarna Bank AB, so the Seller is not responsible for the supplier's refusal of instalment payment, nor does it intervene in any way in the supplier's choice to recognise or not to recognise this option. For more information, please visit the Klarna website.

6.6. Bank Transfer. Payment by Bank Transfer using the Sofort platform (Klarna Bank AB) is accepted. The user will be redirected to the relevant site where he/she will immediately make the payment according to the procedure provided for and regulated therein. Sofort uses pre-filled information to contact the Client's bank and execute the transfer. For more information, please visit the Klarna website.

6.7. In the event of termination of the contract and in any case of refund, unless otherwise agreed, the Seller will reimburse the Buyer for the amount due using the same payment instrument used for the purchase. In the case of the use of Digital Wallets, once the credit order has been placed in favour of the Buyer, the Seller cannot be held responsible for any delays or omissions in the crediting of the refund, to dispute which delays the Buyer must contact the credit card company or the relevant digital wallet service used for payment directly.

6.8. To ensure the security of payments, payment services use the latest and most up-to-date SSL security and data encryption protocols. For the same purpose of payment security, in implementation of Directive (EU) 2015/2366 (Payment Services Directive 2 or 'PSD2'), for payments over a total of €30, the Payment Services may require the user to authenticate themselves using devices and procedures that ensure Strong Customer Authentication. To do so, you may be required to authenticate using mobile devices or other means required by the Payment Services. Failure to complete the procedure described above may make it impossible to complete the purchase on the Site.

  1. PRICES AND INVOICE

7.1. The sales prices displayed on the Website are to be understood in Euros and include VAT (if applicable) and any other tax. The price applied to the contractual relationship between the Seller and the Buyer will be the one in force at the time of the order and indicated in the Order Confirmation, without considering price increases or decreases, including for promotions, which may occur subsequently.

7.2. In the event that the price of a product is discounted and the discount percentage and the full reference price are indicated on the Site, this indication will be made with reference to the lowest price applied in the last 30 days.

7.3. Following the order, a regular invoice will be issued. After the issuance of the same, it will not be possible to make any changes to the data indicated in the same, therefore the Customer is asked to pay the utmost attention when entering the billing data. At the Customer's request, the invoice will be sent to the Customer by sending a paper copy in the shipping package.

 

  1. SHIPPING TIMES AND COSTS

8.1. Shipping costs are  borne by the Client and are calculated at the time of conclusion of the purchase process, after choosing the shipping method and in any case before making the payment, as they differ according to weight, volume and delivery area. Shipping costs may be free of charge for orders exceeding certain thresholds established by the Seller and indicated on the Site.

8.2. The shipment of the products will take place only after receiving confirmation of the successful payment of the Total Amount Due by the Client and will be handled by an appointed carrier. In the event of non-payment of the Total Amount Due, the purchase contract will be automatically terminated, without prejudice to the right to compensation for damages.

8.3. The Client will be informed by means of a confirmation email that the order is being dispatched (the "Dispatch Confirmation"). Orders take 1-2 business days to process and are then shipped from Lainate, ITALY.

8.4. Delivery times after Dispatch Confirmation vary depending on the destination: -

EU: 1-5 working days;  -

USA: 3-6 business days (may take a few more days depending on customs); 

-  Rest of the world: 3-10 business days (may take a few more days depending on customs).  

The above delivery terms are purely indicative and not essential. In the event that the Customer chooses fast shipping, the delivery times will be those indicated in the Shopping Cart.
The Seller will make the delivery, in any case, within thirty (30) days from the conclusion of the contract, by specialized carriers from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., excluding holidays and national holidays. Orders placed over the weekend will be processed starting the following Monday morning. Shipping delays may occur during promotions.

8.5.  Impossibility of delivery. In the event that it is not possible to make the delivery due to the absence of the recipient, the order will be stored and you will be left with a notice specifying where your order is located and how to arrange a new delivery. In the event that it is not possible to deliver within the period of [30 days] we will assume that you intend to terminate the contract, therefore the order will be cancelled and all amounts, including delivery costs (excluding any additional costs arising from your choice of a delivery method other than the ordinary method offered by us) will be returned to you without undue delay and,  in any case, within 14 days from the date of termination of the Contract. You will be responsible for the costs of returning the order resulting from the termination of the contract. 

8.7. Delivery Delays. In the event that the purchased product is not delivered or is delivered later than the delivery terms indicated, the Buyer, pursuant to Article 61 of the Consumer Code, invites the Seller to make the delivery within an additional period appropriate to the circumstances ("Additional Term pursuant to Article 61,  paragraph 3, of the Consumer Code"). If the additional period thus granted expires without the products having been delivered to him, the Purchaser is entitled to terminate the contract, without prejudice to the right to compensation for damages ("Contractual termination pursuant to Article 61, paragraph 3, of the Consumer Code").

8.8. The delivery obligation is fulfilled by transferring the material availability or control of the products to the Client or to third parties designated by him. It is the Customer's responsibility to check the condition of the product that has been delivered to him. The risk of loss and damage to the products, for reasons not attributable to the Seller, is transferred to the Client when the latter, or a third party designated by him and other than the carrier, comes into physical possession of the product.

8.9. Receipt of Goods. At  the time of delivery, the Customer is advised to verify: the number of products received, that the packaging is intact and unaltered, including the closing materials, and is invited, in his interest, to report any anomalies to the Carrier, accepting the package with specific reservation, indicating the reason for the reservation (for example: FOR SUSPECTED TAMPERING:  if the package is open or not perfectly closed; FOR IMPROPER HANDLING: if it is not delivered with care or diligence by the carrier; FOR VISUALLY DAMAGED PACKAGE: if the package is visibly damaged, or is visually altered). This will allow the Client to take action against the Carrier for loss or damage to the products. Any report of damage or hidden anomalies must be reported to the Seller within 7 calendar days of delivery, by sending an email to help@reinaolga.com

  1. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

9.1. The Purchaser who is a consumer pursuant to art. 3, paragraph I, letter a) of the Consumer Code, has the right to withdraw from the contractual relationship with the Seller, without specifying the reason and without having to incur costs other than those described in paragraph 9.5 below. The right of withdrawal can be exercised within the withdrawal period.

9.2. The withdrawal period ("Withdrawal Period") expires after 14 days:

(a) from the day on which the consumer or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by the consumer, acquires physical possession of the goods, or;

(b) in the case of an order with several products delivered separately, from the day on which the consumer or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by the consumer, acquires physical possession of the last product;

(c) in the case of delivery of a product consisting of multiple lots or pieces, from the day on which the consumer or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by the consumer, acquires physical possession of the last lot or piece. The Purchaser has exercised the right of withdrawal within the Withdrawal Period if the communication relating to the exercise of the aforementioned right is sent before the expiry of the Withdrawal Period.

9.3. How to exercise your right of withdrawal. In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the Buyer must inform the Seller, before the expiry of the Withdrawal Period, of his decision to withdraw. To this end, the Purchaser may:

  1. a) use the standard withdrawal form made available at the following link ("Standard Withdrawal Form");
  2. b) or submit any other explicit declaration of your decision to withdraw from the contract ("Declaration of withdrawal") indicating: order number, the product(s) for which you intend to exercise the right of withdrawal, your address. The Model Withdrawal Form or the Declaration of Withdrawal must be sent to Customer Service at the following email address: help@reinaolga.com
    The Purchaser who exercises the right of withdrawal is invited to use a durable medium that proves the sending of the notice of withdrawal, since Article 54, last paragraph, of the Consumer Code, places the burden of proof relating to the exercise of the right of withdrawal on him.

9.4. Return Charges. The Buyer who has exercised the right of withdrawal must return  the Product to the Seller at his own expense, using the carrier proposed by the latter or a carrier of his choice, without undue delay and in any case within fourteen days from the date on which he communicated his decision to withdraw from the contract. The deadline is met if the Buyer sends back the goods before the expiry of the fourteen calendar day period.

The Purchaser exercising the right of withdrawal is responsible for the decrease in the value of the products resulting from handling of the products other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the same. In any case, the Product must be stored, handled and inspected with normal diligence and returned intact, complete in all its parts, in perfect working order, equipped with all accessories and original leaflets, tags and labels, where present, still attached, suitable for the use for which it is intended and free of signs of wear or dirt. The right of withdrawal cannot be exercised only for certain parts of the product (e.g. accessories).

 

9.5.  Product Return. The return of the Product to the Seller is the responsibility of the Buyer. The Product, duly packaged and protected, must be sent to the following address:

Reina Olga SA

Via Nuova 14, 20020,

Nosate (MI)

 

9.6. Refunds. In the event of withdrawal, the Seller will reimburse the Buyer for the Total Amount Due, including shipping costs, if incurred by the Buyer, except for any additional costs arising from the Buyer's choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us. The Seller shall reimburse the Seller without undue delay and in any case within fourteen calendar days from the day on which it is informed of the Buyer's decision to withdraw from the contract. The Seller will refund the Total Amount Due using the same means of payment used by the Buyer when placing the order, unless the Buyer has expressly agreed otherwise and provided that the Buyer will not incur any costs as a result of the refund. The Seller may withhold the refund until it has received the goods or until the Buyer has proved that it has sent the goods back, whichever is earlier.

In the event that the Buyer exercises the right of withdrawal only for some of the products of an order of several products, the reimbursement of the shipping costs initially incurred will be proportional in relation to the cost of each product. In any case, the refund may never exceed the amount actually paid by the user.

 

9.7. Exercise of the non-compliant right of withdrawal. In the event that the right of withdrawal is not exercised in accordance with the provisions of the law, it will not result in the termination of the contract and, therefore, will not give the right to any refund. From time to time, the Seller will notify the Buyer, rejecting the withdrawal request. The Product, if it has already been received by the Seller, will remain at the disposal of the Buyer for collection, which must take place at the expense and under the responsibility of the Buyer. 

 

9.8. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal. The right of withdrawal is excluded in the case provided for in letter e) of art. 59 of the Consumer Code, which includes sealed goods that cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection and have been opened after delivery.

In our case,  the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised if the purchased Product has been worn.

10.1. The products marketed on the Site are covered by the Legal Guarantee of Conformity which operates when the lack of conformity manifests itself within 2 years from the delivery of the product ("Warranty Validity Period").

10.2. Warranty Exclusions. The following are excluded from the scope of the Legal Guarantee:

  • any defects caused by modifications made to the product, by the Customer or by a third party on his behalf, as well as any modifications or tampering with the Products;

(a) the restoration of conformity, by means of substitution;

(b) or a proportional reduction in the price

  1. c) or the termination of this contract.

 

10.4. Restoring Compliance. For the purpose of restoring the conformity of the goods, the Client may choose between repair and replacement, provided that the chosen remedy is not impossible or, compared to the alternative remedy, does not impose disproportionate costs on the Seller, taking into account all the circumstances and, in particular, the following:

(a) the value that the goods would have in the absence of the lack of conformity;

(b) the extent of the lack of conformity, and

(c) the possibility of using the alternative remedy without significant inconvenience to the consumer.

 

10.5. Proportional Price Reduction or Termination of Contract. The consumer has the right to a proportional reduction of the price or to the termination of the sales contract:

  1. a) if the Seller has not carried out the repair or replacement;

(b) if there is a lack of conformity, despite an attempt to restore it;

  1. d) if the Seller has declared, or it is clear from the circumstances, that it will not proceed to restore the conformity of the goods within a reasonable period or without significant inconvenience to the consumer.

The consumer does not have the right to terminate the contract if the lack of conformity is only minor. It is up to the Seller to determine the slightness.

In the event of a price reduction, it will be proportional to the decrease in the value of the product.
