CONCLUSION OF THE GENERAL CONDITIONS AND PURCHASE/DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS

The User declares that they have read and expressly accepted the General Terms and Conditions when using the Platform and/or registering with it by creating an Account and/or purchasing one or more Products. In relation to the sale of Products, the contract between the Company and the User is concluded following Registration and the submission of the completed purchase form after placing selected Products in the electronic shopping cart following the purchase procedure provided by the Platform.
If the User does not intend to accept even one of the terms and conditions of the General Terms and Conditions, they are invited to refrain from Registration and the purchase of Products.
The User acknowledges and accepts that the Company reserves the right to modify the General Terms and Conditions at any time, at its own discretion, making the User aware of this by publishing them on the Platform. A mere visit to the Platform following the change will be considered as full acceptance by the User of the change. The User acknowledges and accepts, therefore, that it will be the User's responsibility to periodically check the Platform for any changes to the General Terms and Conditions.
The Company will provide for the delivery of the Products ordered and paid for by the User in the manner chosen by the User at the time of purchase and/or in any case indicated on the Platform. Without prejudice to the above, the User acknowledges and accepts that the delivery times indicated on the Website are merely indicative and may vary from the day following the order to a maximum of 30 (thirty) days from the confirmation of the order. Until the aforementioned period of 30 (thirty) days has elapsed, the User hereby waives any and all claims, including for reimbursement or compensation, against the Company.
At the time of delivery of the Products, the User is required to check that the number of packages delivered corresponds to the number indicated in the transport document attached to the Products shipped and that the packaging is intact and not altered, including the closing tapes present. In the event that the Products delivered show any damage presumably caused by transport, the User must refuse the delivery and promptly notify the Company in writing, at the address Via Dogana 3 - 20123 Milan, Italy, which will make the necessary objections to the forwarding agent and make a new shipment once it has received the disputed goods. In the event that the User nevertheless decides to accept the delivery, despite the packaging being seriously damaged and/or tampered with, in order to safeguard his/her rights, he/she must necessarily contest the unsuitability of the packaging, affixing the wording "Reserve for control of goods due to..." and indicating the reason for the reserve in question on the shipper's delivery document, a copy of which he/she must retain and send to the Company.
FINALISATION OF REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT

To finalise the purchase of the Products, the User undertakes to pay the price. In order to proceed with the payment of the Products, the User must follow the instructions on the Platform, use the page provided by the Company and enter all the required data for shipping and invoicing. The User acknowledges and accepts that the payments and all management of the data required to make the payment will be handled by third party companies other than the Company, chosen and modified by the latter at its sole discretion. At no time during the aforementioned purchase procedure is the Company able to know the User's credit card information. In no case, therefore, can the Company be held responsible for any fraudulent or undue use of credit cards and for the management of the data necessary for payment by third parties.

In the event of payment by credit card or other electronic money payment systems, upon conclusion of the online transaction, the relevant payment gateway shall authorise only the amount related to the purchase made. The relevant amount shall be charged to the User's credit card at the time of purchase.
In the event of cancellation of the purchase made by the User's credit card, in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions, the payment gateway shall cancel the transaction and release the pledged amount. The time of release, for some types of credit cards, depends exclusively on the payment gateway system and may be up to their natural expiry date (24th day from the date of authorisation). Once the transaction has been cancelled, the User acknowledges and expressly accepts that under no circumstances may the Company be held liable for any damages, direct or indirect, caused by delay in the payment gateway's failure to release the amount committed.
The Company reserves the right to ask the User for additional information (e.g. identification document) or to send copies of documents proving the ownership of the credit card used. In the absence of the requested documentation, the Company reserves the right not to accept the order.
The User acknowledges and accepts that it shall be his/her responsibility, during the Registration phase, to indicate any reference to the tax code and/or VAT number and/or other invoicing data in the event that the same wishes the issuance of an invoice with such an indication.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

The User acknowledges and accepts that the Products are made by the Company and/or its suppliers on the basis of original designs created by an artist and freely inspired by real existing models of other objects such as, but not limited to, cars and musical instruments.

In particular, the User undertakes not to use in any way the Brands that may be present on the Products, as the Company cannot grant any type of licence and/or other authorisation to the User as there is no link between the Company and the Brands and their reference is merely to describe parts of the Products.

Except to the extent necessary to purchase the Products, the User may not download, copy, use, transfer, rent, sub-licence, lend, modify, adapt, counterfeit, attempt to modify or alter the source code, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise operate all or any part of the Products and/or the Platform.

These links are made solely for the convenience of Users and access to these sites is at the discretion and sole responsibility of Users. A link from the Platform to any other website does not imply that the Company approves, endorses or recommends in any way said website or has any control over any element of the content of said website.

INDEMNITY

The User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as their respective representatives, partners and employees from any damage, liability, cost, burden or expense, including legal fees, arising from claims by third parties as a result of the User's use of the Products in a manner that does not comply with the General Conditions and/or violations of the provisions thereof, including the representations and warranties set out in the relevant paragraph of the General Conditions.

DURATION and SURVIVAL OF CLAUSES

The General Terms and Conditions shall take effect from the date of acceptance thereof and shall remain in force unless terminated earlier under the terms described in the General Terms and Conditions and as provided below.
The following clauses of the General Conditions shall remain valid and effective even after the termination of the General Conditions: Declarations and Guarantees of the User; Liability - Limitation of Liability in Favour of the Company; Applicable Law and Competent Jurisdiction; General Clauses.

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL (AND WAIVER)

If the User intends to avail himself of the right of withdrawal provided for by the Consumer Code, without any penalty and without specifying the reason, the decision to avail himself of this right must be communicated to the Company within 14 (fourteen) days of receipt of the Products. In the case of separate delivery of several Products purchased by the User in a single order, the 14 (fourteen) day period for exercising the right of withdrawal starts from the day on which the last Product is delivered to the User.
In the event that the User selects Services in relation to the Products purchased, the User waives the possibility of exercising the right of withdrawal and is therefore invited to check the correctness of what has been requested (by way of example only, the characteristics of the customisation of a Product) before concluding the purchase. No refunds will be made in relation to the purchase of Products to which Services have been combined, and the User hereby waives any and all claims in this regard.
Without prejudice to the foregoing article, the right of withdrawal is exercised by
by sending to the Company a communication containing the will to exercise the right of withdrawal by e-mail to the address: info@borgeseidea.com; the aforementioned communication must contain i) the specification of the Products for which the right of withdrawal is to be exercised and ii) a copy of the documentation proving the purchase
sending the Products to the Company, within the term of 14 (fourteen) days from the sending of the communication referred to in the previous point, to the following address: Via Dogana 3 - 20123 Milan
The Products for which the right of withdrawal is exercised must be returned undamaged, in their original packaging, complete with accessories and any manuals and everything present in the original packaging.

Failure to comply with all of the above will prevent the Company from proceeding with the processing of the request for withdrawal and, consequently, with the refund of the amount relating to the returned Products. In this case, therefore, the User shall only have the right to re-obtain, at his/her own expense, the Product in the state in which it was returned to the Company. Otherwise, the Company may retain the returned Products in addition to the sums already paid by the User for the relevant purchase.

The Company reserves the right to withhold the refund until it has received the Products subject to the right of withdrawal.

The User acknowledges and accepts that
unless otherwise indicated on the Platform, the costs of returning, shipping and transporting the Products are the responsibility of the User;
in the event that the order of Products is cancelled before shipment by the User, the Company will be entitled to sell the Products subject to the cancelled order to third parties and will not be responsible for the User's failure to obtain them.
