These general conditions of sale are applicable to all sales of GCDS products concluded remotely through this site. These general conditions of distance selling must be carefully examined by the Customer before the completion of the distance purchase procedure for each product.

Therefore, by placing the purchase order, the Customer unconditionally accepts and undertakes to observe, in its relations with GCDS, these general conditions of sale, as well as the conditions of payment, declaring that it has read and accepted all the information provided to it, and also notes that GCDS does not consider itself bound to conditions other than these, unless previously agreed in writing.

GCDS products are distributed online by the company GCDS. The online sales system through this site, which presupposes active intervention by the Customer, has been created in full compliance with the regulations on distance selling and in particular with articles 50 et seq. of the Consumer Code (Legislative Decree no. 206 of 6 September 2005 and subsequent amendments and additions). The use of the distance selling process described in these general conditions of sale is reserved exclusively to consumers as defined in art. 3 of Legislative Decree no. 206 of 6 September 2005 and only if resident in all countries in the world except Caribbean Netherlands, Macao SAR China, Russia, South Sudan and Turkey , hereinafter referred to as the "Customer" or "Clients" or even the "User" or "Users" for the sake of brevity).

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability, and items in the cart are not reserved and may be purchased by other Customers.
Once the payment procedure has been successfully completed by the Customer, GCDS will immediately inform the Customer of the acceptance of the order, reserving the right to inform the Customer within 10 days of any impossibility of fulfilling the order, followed by the immediate cancellation of the order and the simultaneous release of the amount reserved for payment, due to the goods being exhausted or if there are insufficient guarantees of solvency and if the order does not correspond to normal consumption needs or, finally, due to force majeure.

In fact, GCDS reserves the right to refuse to accept orders if there are proven reasons to do so (e.g. if there is a well-founded suspicion that the purchaser is not a Consumer, or in any case for orders with more than 5 items of the same Product, or for orders worth more than five thousand euros. GCDS shall not be liable to the User or any third party due to the withdrawal of any Goods from the Site or the refusal to process a transaction or to cancel or suspend any transaction after processing has commenced.

The User who is a Consumer has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract of the Product, without having to provide any reasons and without incurring costs other than those that follow, within the term of fourteen calendar days.
The withdrawal period expires after 14 days:
a) In the case of an order relating to only one Product, from the day on which the User or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by the User, acquires physical possession of the Product;
b) In the case of a Multiple Order with separate deliveries, from the day on which the User or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by the User, acquires physical possession of the last Product.
In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the User must inform GCDS before the expiry of the Withdrawal Period of its decision to withdraw.

For this purpose, the User may submit any explicit declaration of his or her decision to withdraw from the contract, indicating the order number, the Product(s) for which he or she intends to exercise the right of withdrawal and his or her address, or using the withdrawal form in Annex I part B of Legislative Decree no. 206/2005.

Following the exercise of the right of withdrawal, the User must return the Products to GCDS, at GCDS c/o FIEGE LOGISTICS ITALIA SRL, Via Juan Manuel Fangio 11, Magazzino Arese 2, Lainate 20020, at without undue delay and in any case within and no later than 14 calendar days from the date on which it notified GCDS of its decision to withdraw; the Product shall be deemed to be returned at the time it is delivered, within the aforesaid term, to the courier indicated by GCDS, or, as the case may be, to the courier chosen by the User.
In the event of exercising the right of free withdrawal, the User will be given the possibility to choose alternatively between a full refund of the amount paid and the issue of a coupon of equal value to be used for a new order on the site by the expiration of the same. The refund, in the manner described above, will be made available to the User within 14 days of receipt of the withdrawal notice by the User and in any case within 10 (ten) working days of the return of the goods.
If the Customer opts for a refund, he may request that the amount be credited to his credit card, or to the PayPal account, with which he made the payment.
It is in any case understood that, according to the provisions of article 67 of the Consumer Code (Legislative Decree no. 206 of 6 September 2005), the substantial integrity of the product is an essential condition for the exercise of the right of withdrawal by the Customer.
However, the Products must be stored, handled and inspected with ordinary diligence and returned complete in all their parts, accompanied by all accessories, leaflets, labels and tags.
Therefore, if the products returned by the Customer are damaged, incomplete, deteriorated and/or used in a manner that does not comply with normal diligence, such as to compromise their substantial integrity, they will not be refunded.
The refund may be suspended until the Products returned have been received and checked.
The withdrawal also applies to the Product in its entirety. It cannot therefore be exercised in relation to parts and/or accessories of the Product, nor for individual Products included in Kits, gift packs or similar packages that are unitarily sold to the User.

In the event that the withdrawal has not been exercised in accordance with the applicable legislation, it shall not result in the termination of the contract and, consequently, the Consumer shall not be entitled to any refund. GCDS shall inform the User within 5 working days of receipt of the Product, rejecting the request for withdrawal. The Product, if already received by GCDS, shall remain at the User's disposal for withdrawal, which shall be at the User's expense and responsibility.

In the event that, in one of the legal cases, the right of withdrawal does not apply, this exclusion will be given specific and express notice in the Product Sheet and, in any case, during the purchase process, before the User proceeds to transmit the order. The right of withdrawal, in any case, does not apply to Custom Made Products.

There is no special procedure for the exchange of goods.
If the User, for whatever reason, wishes to change the product received (for example: wants to purchase the same product but of a different size) or wants to exercise the right of free withdrawal referred to in the previous section, he/she must carry out the following return procedure: exercise the right of free withdrawal within 14 days from the date of shipment of the order, return the goods received to GCDS (in compliance with the provisions set out in the previous section), choose alternatively between the refund of the amount paid and the coupon of equal value, which will be valid for a new purchase for 12 months and, in case of change of product, proceed with the new purchase.

The seller is obliged to deliver to the consumer goods in accordance with the contract of sale.
Consumer goods are presumed to be in conformity with the contract if, where relevant, the following circumstances coexist: a) they are suitable for the use for which goods of the same type are normally used; b) they conform to the description made by the seller and possess the qualities of the goods which the seller has presented to the consumer as a sample or model; c) they possess the qualities and performance habitually required of goods of the same type, which the consumer may reasonably expect, taking into account the nature of the goods and, where applicable, public statements on the specific characteristics of the goods made in this respect by the seller, the producer or his agent or representative, in particular in advertising or on labelling; d) they are also suitable for the particular use intended by the consumer and which the consumer has brought to the knowledge of the seller at the time of conclusion of the contract and which the seller has also accepted for conclusive facts.
There is no lack of conformity if, at the time of conclusion of the contract, the Consumer was aware of the defect or could not ignore it with ordinary diligence or if the lack of conformity derives from instructions or materials provided by the Consumer.
The seller is not bound by the public declarations referred to in letter c) above, when, alternatively, he proves that: a) he was not aware of the declaration and could not have known it with ordinary diligence; b) the declaration was adequately corrected by the time the contract was concluded so as to be known to the consumer; c) the decision to purchase the consumer goods was not influenced by the declaration.
The seller shall be liable to the Consumer for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the goods.
In the event of a lack of conformity, the Consumer has the right to restore, without charge, the conformity of the goods by repair or replacement, or to an appropriate reduction in price or termination of the contract, in accordance with paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 of Article 130 of the Consumer Code.
A minor lack of conformity for which it has not been possible or is excessively costly to carry out the remedies of repair or replacement does not entitle the contract to be terminated.
The Consumer may, at his choice, ask the seller to repair the goods or to replace them, without charge in both cases, unless the remedy requested is objectively impossible or excessively expensive compared to the other.
The seller is liable, in accordance with article 130 of the Consumer Code, when the lack of conformity becomes apparent within two years of delivery of the goods.
The Consumer shall forfeit the rights provided for in article 130, paragraph 2, if he/she does not notify the seller of the lack of conformity within two months from the date on which he/she discovered the defect. The report is not necessary if the seller has acknowledged the existence of the defect or has concealed it.
Unless proved otherwise, it shall be presumed that defects of conformity which become apparent within six months of delivery of the goods already existed on that date, unless this assumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or the nature of the lack of conformity.
The action to assert defects not maliciously concealed by the seller is, in any case, prescribed within twenty-six months of delivery of the goods.
In the event the User finds a defect in compliance with the above mentioned terms, he/she shall proceed with the notification of the defect within the above mentioned term and shall consequently send back to GCDS what has been received according to the terms and conditions described in sections 5 and 6 above (the shipping costs of the faulty or defective product shall, however, in this case be borne by GCDS), the User being able to choose between the remedies provided for by law and in particular: the full refund of the amount paid, the issue of a coupon of equal value or a new shipment of the same product free of defects or faults (limited to the availability of the same).
