The Customer acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of an inability to deliver the Products due to the Customer or their designated recipient being absent at the time of delivery on the scheduled day, or in the case of an incorrect delivery address, the Products will not be removed from the Order and the corresponding amount will not be refunded to the Customer, while the Seller will be released from all liability in this regard.
In any case, defects in conformity resulting from accidental damage or the Customer’s own responsibility are excluded from the legal warranty.

Art. 6: LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The Seller assumes no liability for service disruptions caused by force majeure that prevent, in whole or in part, the timely execution of the Contract.
The Seller is not responsible for any fraudulent or unlawful use of credit cards, checks, or other payment methods by third parties when paying for purchased Products. At no point during the purchase process is the Seller able to access the Customer’s credit card number, which is transmitted directly to the banking service provider via a secure connection.
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that, on occasion, not all Products indicated in the submitted and accepted Order may be delivered. In such cases, the Company will promptly refund the amounts related to the undelivered Products and cannot be held liable for any further loss and/or damage resulting from non-delivery.

Art. 7: RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND EXCLUSIONS

Pursuant to Articles 52 and following of Legislative Decree no. 206/2005 (“Consumer Code”), the Customer may exercise the right of withdrawal without any penalty and without providing a reason within 14 working days from the day of receipt of the purchased goods, provided that the Products received have not been opened and their seals have not been tampered with.

Procedure for notifying withdrawal
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer may, within the period indicated above, send a registered letter with return receipt to SOCIETÀ AGRICOLA LE TERRE DI ALICE S.S., located at (42020) Montericco-Albinea (RE), Via Scaparra n. 8/F, or send an email to the certified email address: leterredialice@pec.it.

The communication must include:
• An express statement of the Customer’s intention to exercise the right of withdrawal.
• All necessary information to identify the Order (order number and order date) and the Customer (name, address, email address, and phone number).
• Identification of the Product(s) for which the right of withdrawal is being exercised.
• A copy of the sales document accompanying the received goods.
To facilitate the return procedure, the following guidelines are provided for drafting the communication to exercise the right of withdrawal:
Recipient: [the name, physical address, and, if available, phone number, fax number,
and email addresses must be provided by the professional]:
Hereby, I/we notify the withdrawal from my/our sales Contract for the following goods/services:
Ordered on / Received on
Name of the consumer(s)
Address of the consumer(s)
Signature of the consumer(s) (only if the communication is sent in paper form) and date

The Customer, following only the instructions provided by Customer Service, must return the Products to the Seller’s premises within 14 days from the date of notification of the intention to exercise the right of withdrawal. All Products must be returned in the same condition as received, with the original packaging and any accessories that were part of the original package. Returns using methods other than those described are not permitted.

Shipping costs for returning the Product to the address indicated by the Seller are the responsibility of the Customer.
Cases Excluding the Right of Withdrawal

It is specified that the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for Products which, by their nature, cannot be returned due to a high risk of deterioration and/or rapid alteration. According to Article 59, paragraph 1, letters d) and e) of Legislative Decree 206/2005 (the “Consumer Code”), the right of withdrawal is excluded for:
• Perishable food products or those with a short expiration date.
• Goods that are not suitable for return for hygiene or health reasons and that have been opened after delivery.

The exclusion of the right of withdrawal also applies in cases where Products are altered and/or deteriorated due to longer transit times caused by the recipient being absent at the delivery address.

Regarding the exclusions listed above, the Customer is specifically informed and acknowledges that Products “at risk of deterioration or rapid expiration” include all food items whose characteristics and quality may be altered even as a result of improper storage.

Refund

In the event that the Customer exercises the right of withdrawal in accordance with the procedures and timeframes set out in these Conditions, the Company will refund the amount paid using the same payment method selected by the Customer at the time of placing the Order, within 14 days of receiving the return notification.

As already stated in previous sections, the refund is subject to the Seller receiving the Products in full and undamaged. Products returned incomplete, damaged, or deteriorated will not be eligible for any refund or reimbursement.

Regarding refund timing, the Seller will proceed within 14 days from receipt of the return form as follows:
• Credit Card Orders: The transaction will be reversed, and a notification sent to the Customer. The credited amount is usually visible within 10 days of receiving the notification, although the exact timing may vary depending on the bank or credit card network.
• PayPal Orders: The refund will be processed to the Customer’s PayPal account.
• Bank Transfer Orders: The Customer must provide Società Agricola Le Terre di Alice S.S. with their bank account details to proceed with the refund, following the instructions received via email or by contacting Customer Service.

It is specified that the Seller reserves the right, in all cases of initiating the return procedure, to withhold the refund until the Products have been correctly delivered to the Seller’s warehouse or, by agreement, until proof of shipment of the return is provided by the Customer.
