The user may exercise the right of withdrawal even if the product is defective or damaged, or if some integral parts of the product are missing and were included in the product description provided by the user on the website and also reported in the order confirmation.

12. Guarantee of conformity of the material Products
The legal guarantee of conformity, provided for by Articles 128-135 of the Consumer Code, is recognized for all Products sold through the Website that fall into the category of "consumer goods", as governed by Article 128, paragraph 2 of the Consumer Code: any movable property, even to be assembled, except i) goods subject to forced sale or otherwise sold by judicial authorities, including by delegation to notaries, ii) water and gas, when not packaged for sale in a limited volume or in a specific quantity, iii) electricity.
The legal guarantee of conformity is reserved for Consumer Users only.
The Owner is obligated to deliver Products to the User that comply with the sales contract. The Products are presumed to comply with the contract if, where applicable, the following circumstances coexist:
- are suitable for the use for which goods of the same type are normally used
- they conform to the description given by the Owner and possess the qualities of the goods that the seller presented to the Consumer User as a sample or model
- have the quality and performance which are usual in goods of the same type, which the User can reasonably expect, taking into account the nature of the Product and, where applicable, public statements on the specific characteristics of the Products made in this regard by the Owner, the manufacturer or his agent or representative, particularly in advertising or on labelling
- they are also suitable for the particular use desired by the User and which was brought to the attention of the Owner at the time of conclusion of the contract and which the Owner has accepted also by conclusive facts.
Therefore, any faults or malfunctions caused by accidental events or by the User's responsibility or by use of the Product that does not comply with its intended use and/or with what is provided for in the attached technical documentation are excluded from the scope of the guarantee of conformity.
Any lack of conformity that becomes apparent within 24 months of the date of delivery of the Product must be reported within 2 months of the date of discovery of the defect.
Unless proven otherwise, any defects of conformity that become apparent within 6 months of delivery of the Product are presumed to have already existed on that date, unless this assumption is incompatible with the nature of the Product or the nature of the defect of conformity. After 6 months, the User will be required to provide proof that the damage was not caused by incorrect or improper use of the Product.
Pursuant to Article 130 of the Consumer Code, in the event of a Product's lack of conformity, the Consumer User has the right to have the Product's conformity restored, free of charge. To this end, the Consumer User may choose between repairing the Product or replacing it.
This right of choice cannot be exercised if the requested remedy is objectively impossible or excessively onerous. Furthermore, the User is entitled to an appropriate price reduction or termination of the contract only if one of the following situations occurs: i) repair or replacement is impossible or excessively onerous; ii) the Owner has failed to repair or replace the product within a reasonable time; iii) the replacement or repair has caused significant inconvenience to the User.
If the User intends to take advantage of the remedies provided by the guarantee of conformity, he must send a written communication to the e-mail address support@gattinoni.com .
The Owner will promptly respond to the notification of the alleged lack of conformity and will indicate to the Consumer User the specific procedure to follow, also taking into account the product category to which the Product belongs and/or the reported defect.
