3.4 the order form will be stored in the LE SAITTOLE database for the time necessary to process the order and, in any case, for as long as the law requires.

4. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

4.1 The products published on the Site are available for a limited time and in limited quantites. The validity date of the offers is specified on the Site.

4.2 All prices shown on the Site are expressed in Euros (€) and are inclusive of VAT. The contribution to the costs of order fulfilment and delivery is explicitly specified and includes VAT. Transport costs are charged to the customer and are explicitly specified in the purchase order.

4.3 The user will be charged the price of the product shown on the Site at the time the order was placed.

4.4 The products will remain the property of LE SAITTOLE until the user has paid the purchase price and expenses.

4.6 LE SAITTOLE reserves the right not to confirm orders from users with whom disputes are pending or in the circumstance envisaged under art. 5.1.

5. AVAILABILITY

5.1 The products offered on the Site are limited in number. It may thus happen that the product ordered is no longer available after the purchase order has been placed, or that it is in the production phase; this may occur in particular for purchases made in the months of October, November and December of each year. If the product ordered is unavailable, the user will be promptly informed by e-mail and the purchase order will be cancelled. If the user does not intend to replace the item with another available one of equal value, LE SAITTOLE will refund the sum paid by the user, including the contributions to the costs of order fulfilment and shipping costs, immediately, and, in any case no later than thirty days after the day following the placing of the order. The amount to be refunded will be communicated by e-mail, and credited by means of the PAYPAL system.

5.2 LE SAITTOLE declines all responsibility for any delays in such refunds that depend on the bank or are due to force majeure.

6. DELIVERY

6.1 Deliveries are made using authorized carriers in Italy and in EU member countries to the postal address specified by the user in the order form.

6.2 Delivery times vary from 3 to 6 working days.

6.3 Shipping costs vary depending on the size, weight and destination of the items chosen. Deliveries are made during normal business hours to the address indicated by the User and in the manner specified in the order summary.

It is the user’s responsibility to check the condition of the Product delivered. This is without prejudice to the fact that the risk of loss or damage to the Products, for reasons not attributable to LE SAITTOLE, is transferred to the user when the user, or a third party designated by the same and other than the carrier, materially comes into possession of the Product. The user is advised to check the number of Products received and that the packaging and the materials used to seal it are intact, and have not been damaged or otherwise altered. The user is requested, in his own interest, to report any anomalies on the carrier’s shipping bill, and only to provisionally accept the package. If the Products are accepted without any reservation, the user will not be able to take legal action against the courier in the event of loss or damage to the Products. If the packaging shows obvious signs of tampering or alteration, the user is also advised to promptly notify LE SAITTOLE.  

If the shipment is not collected by the deadline set by the carrier, the products will be returned to LE SAITTOLE, which will refund the price of the products, but retain the shipping costs. LE SAITTOLE cannot be held liable for delivery errors due to inaccuracies or incompleteness in the compilation of the purchase order by the User, or for any damage that may have occurred to the Products after being handed over to the carrier, where the latter has been chosen and appointed by the User, or for delays in delivery attributable to the latter.

 7. WITHDRAWAL

7.1 In the event of the purchase of products or services, users are entitled to withdraw from the contract without giving any reason within 14 days. The withdrawal period expires after 14 days from the day on which the User or a third party – other than the carrier and designated by the User – takes physical possession of the goods. To exercise the right of withdrawal, the User is required to inform LE SAITTOLE of the decision to withdraw by means of an explicit notice of withdrawal sent to the contacts specified, before the withdrawal period expires.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the user must send a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to the following address, valid for the shipment of the goods: LE SAITTOLE AZIENDA AGRICOLA VIA BRODOLINI 2, 73020 Castri di Lecce (LE). The notice of withdrawal may also be sent in advance by e-mail to the email address info@LESAITTOLE.com, provided that it is confirmed by means of registered letter with notice of receipt within the subsequent 48 hours. Any costs and risks associated with returning the products are borne by the user. Since the burden of proof relating to the exercise of the right of withdrawal prior to the expiry of the Withdrawal Period is borne by the user, it is in the user’s interest to keep a copy of the e-mail sent to LE SAITTOLE with the Notice of Withdrawal.

To this end, you can use the sample form for exercising the right of withdrawal shown below:

Sample withdrawal form

Addressed to:________________________________________________

I/we hereby notify the withdrawal from my/our contract of sale regarding the following goods/services:

________________________________________________________________________________________________ (insert here a description of the goods/services from which you intend to withdraw)

  • Ordered on: _____________________________________________________________ (insert date)
  • Received on: _____________________________________________________________ (insert date)
  • Name of consumer(s): ____________________________________________________________
  • Address of the consumer(s): __________________________________________________________
  • Date: ______________________________________________________________________________

7.2 If the User withdraws from this contract, he will be reimbursed for any payments already made to LE SAITTOLE, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs deriving from the possible choice of a delivery method other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered) without undue delay and in any case no later than 14 days after the day on which LE SAITTOLE is informed of the User’s decision to withdraw from this contract. These refunds will be made using the same payment method used by the User for the initial transaction, unless the User has expressly agreed otherwise; in any case, the User shall not incur any costs as a result of this refund. Reimbursement may be suspended until receipt of the goods or until the User demonstrates that he has returned the goods, whichever is earlier.

The User is requested to return the goods and deliver them to LE SAITTOLE without undue delay and in any case within 14 days from the day on which he communicated withdrawal from this contract. The deadline is met if the User returns the goods before the expiry of the 14-day period. The costs of returning the goods will be paid in advance by the User, but will be reimbursed by WP in the manner and subject to the limitations specified above.

The right of withdrawal, pursuant to art. 59 of the Consumer Code, will not in any case be possible in relation to:

  • goods which have been made to measure or are clearly personalized;
  • the supply of goods that are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;
  • the supply of sealed goods which cannot be returned for hygienic reasons or reasons related to the protection of health, and which have been opened after delivery.

7.3 For all the methods of exercising withdrawal, the products must be returned intact and properly packaged, in their original packaging, accompanied by any accessories. For any further information, contact info@LE SAITTOLE.com.

7.4 Pursuant to art. 57(2) of the Consumer Code, the user is responsible for the decrease in the value of the products resulting from any manipulation and/or alteration of the products themselves. In this case, LE SAITTOLE reserves the right to ask the user to refund any decrease in value found.

7.5 In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, it is not required that the goods to be returned be insured against theft and accidental damage from transport. However, since the risk inherent in returning the goods is incumbent on the buyer, LE SAITTOLE suggests that a buyer who intends to exercise the right of withdrawal insure, at his own expense, the shipment for the value indicated in the confirmation e-mail purchase order.

7.6 In accordance with art. 56(3) of the Consumer Code, LE SAITTOLE will proceed to refund the user as soon as possible, but only after the return of the product or after verifying that the user has returned the goods.

The refund amount will be credited to the same payment method used for the purchase, unless otherwise agreed with the user.

7.7 The clauses concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal, as well as the related consequences and exceptions, apply exclusively to Users who qualify as consumers, that is, to Users who act for purposes unrelated to their business and professional activity.
