In the case of payment by bank transfer, the delivery time of the Product indicated in the Product Sheet and/or on the Site, will start from the date of receipt of the bank transfer by the Company and not from the date of transmission of the order, as is the case if you choose other methods of payment.

This is without prejudice, in any case, the application of the rules on the right of withdrawal (if any for the Product) and the legal guarantee of conformity.
Art. 11. Right of withdrawal
.
11.1 In the event of a purchase on the Site, unless otherwise indicated, the right of withdrawal, provided for in Article 52 of the Consumer Code, is excluded, pursuant to Article 59 of Legislative Decree: 21/2014, as on the site are sold:
- Products that are likely to deteriorate or expire quickly;
- Sealed products that are not suitable for return for hygienic or health protection-related reasons or that have been opened after delivery.
With reference to the cases of exclusion of withdrawal listed above, the Customer, in particular, is informed and accepts that these include all food Products (including wines, spirits and beverages), as the characteristics and qualities of these types of Products are subject to alteration also as a result of inappropriate storage. Therefore, for reasons of hygiene and protection of Customers, the right of withdrawal is applicable only for Products purchased on the Site that can be returned to the Company and put back on the market without danger to the health of consumers.
11.2 If you are a consumer, you have the right to withdraw from the contract for the purchase of the Product without having to provide any reasons and without incurring any costs other than those provided for in this article within the period of fourteen calendar days (Withdrawal Period). The Withdrawal Period expires after 14 days:
..
a. in the case of an order for a single Product, from the day you or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by you, acquires physical possession of the Products;
b. in the case of a Multiple Order with separate deliveries, from the day that you or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by you, acquires physical possession of the last Product;
c. in the case of an order for delivery of a Product consisting of multiple lots or pieces, from the day you or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by you, acquires physical possession of the last lot or piece.
11.3 To exercise the right of withdrawal, You must inform the Company, prior to the expiration of the Withdrawal Period, of Your decision to withdraw.
11.4 You have exercised your right of withdrawal within the Withdrawal Period if the notice regarding the exercise of your right of withdrawal is sent by you before the expiration of the Withdrawal Period. This notice must be sent in the following manner:
.
E-mail: info@mezemer.com
Please note that since the burden of proof relating to the exercise of the right of withdrawal prior to the expiration of the Withdrawal Period is on you, it is in your best interest to use a durable medium when notifying the Company of your withdrawal.
11.5 The direct costs of returning the Products are your responsibility as well as the responsibility for the transportation of the Products.
11.6 If You withdraw from the contract, the Company will make a refund of the Total Amount Due, including delivery costs, if applicable, without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 calendar days from the day on which the Company was informed of Your decision to withdraw from the contract. The refund will be made using the same payment instrument used for the initial transaction. In the event that you have returned the Products using a carrier of your choice and at your own expense, the Company may suspend the refund until receipt of the Products or until you have demonstrated that you have returned the Products, whichever is earlier.
11.7 You shall be liable only for any diminution in the value of the Goods resulting from any handling of the Product other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and operation of the Product. However, the Product must be stored, handled and inspected with normal diligence and returned undamaged, complete in all its parts, fully functional, accompanied by all accessories and instruction leaflets, with the identification tags, labels and disposable seal, where present, still attached to the Product and intact and not tampered with, as well as perfectly suitable for its intended use and free of signs of wear or dirt. Moreover, the withdrawal applies to the Product in its entirety. It cannot therefore be exercised in relation to parts and/or accessories of the Product.
11.8 In the event that the Product for which the withdrawal has been exercised has suffered a decrease in value resulting from a handling of the good other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Product, the Company reserves the right to deduct from the amount of the refund an amount equal to such decrease in value. Of the circumstance and the resulting decreased refund amount, the Company will notify you from the receipt of the Product, providing, if the refund has already been paid, the bank details for payment of the amount owed by you due to the decrease in value of the Product.
11.9 In the event that the withdrawal is not exercised in accordance with the provisions of the applicable legislation, it will not result in the termination of the contract and, consequently, will not entitle you to any refund. The Company will notify the user from receipt of the Product, rejecting the request for withdrawal. The Product will remain with the Company at your disposal for collection, which must be done at your expense and under your responsibility.
11.10 In the event that, one of the assumptions of the law occurring, the right of withdrawal does not apply, specific and express notice of such exclusion will be given on the Site.
11.11 In the case of partial withdrawal from Multiple Orders, the amount of delivery charges to be refunded to You will be quantified proportionally to the value of the Product being withdrawn. Therefore, if, for example, You have placed a total order of 200.00 Euro, in which two Products are included, the first of the value of 50.00 Euro and the second of the value of 150.00 Euro, and You return the Product of the value of 150.00 Euro, You will be reimbursed an amount equal to 75% of the delivery costs incurred. In any event, the amount of delivery charges to be returned shall never exceed the amount actually paid.
Art. 12. Legal Warranty
.
12.1 All Products sold on the Site are covered by the Legal Guarantee of Conformity provided for in articles 128-135 of the Consumer Code (Legal Guarantee).
.
To whom it applies
The Legal Warranty is reserved for consumers. It, therefore, finds application, only to users who have made the purchase on the Site for purposes unrelated to the entrepreneurial, commercial, artisan or professional activity carried out, if any.
When it applies
The Company is liable to the consumer for any lack of conformity of the Product and which becomes apparent within two years after such delivery. The lack of conformity must be reported to the seller, under penalty of forfeiture of the warranty, within two months from the date on which it was discovered.
Unless there is evidence to the contrary, it shall be presumed that defects of conformity arising within six months after delivery of the Product already existed on that date, unless such assumption is inconsistent with the nature of the Product or the nature of the defect of conformity. From the seventh month after delivery of the Product, on the other hand, it will be the consumer's burden to prove that the lack of conformity already existed when the Product was delivered.
To be eligible for the Legal Warranty, the consumer must therefore first provide proof of the date of purchase and delivery of the good. It is therefore appropriate for the consumer, for the purpose of such proof, to retain the purchase invoice or any other document that can attest to the date the purchase was made (e.g., payment card statement) and the date of delivery.
In the event of termination of the contract, the Company will refund to the consumer the total amount paid, consisting of the purchase price of the Product, shipping costs and any other additional costs. In case of price reduction, the Company will refund the amount of the reduction, previously agreed with the consumer. The amount of the refund or reduction will be credited to the means or payment solution used by the consumer for the purchase.
The Company shall not be liable in case of damages, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from the use of the Product in an improper manner and/or not in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer as well as in case of damages resulting from fortuitous event or force majeure.
Art. 13. Applicable law and competent court; out-of-court settlement of disputes - Alternative Dispute Resolution/Online Dispute Resolution
.
13.1 Purchase contracts concluded through the Site are governed by Italian law. This is without prejudice to the application to consumer users who do not have their habitual residence in Italy of any more favorable and mandatory provisions provided by the law of the country in which they have their habitual residence.
13.2 Please note that in the case of a consumer user, the court of the place where the user resides or has elected domicile shall have jurisdiction for any dispute relating to the application, execution and interpretation of this document.
13.3 Pursuant to Article 141-sexies, paragraph 3 of the Consumer Code, the Company informs the user who holds the status of consumer under Article 3, paragraph 1, lett. a) of the Consumer Code, that, in the event that he/she has submitted a complaint directly to the Company, as a result of which it has not, however, been possible to resolve the dispute thus arising, the Company will provide information regarding the Alternative Dispute Resolution body or bodies for the out-of-court settlement of disputes relating to obligations arising from a contract concluded under these General Conditions of Sale (cc. d.. ADR bodies, as indicated in Articles 141-bis et seq. of the Consumer Code), stating whether or not it intends to use such bodies to resolve the dispute itself.
13.4 The Company also informs the user who holds the status of consumer as defined in Article 3, paragraph 1, lett a) of the Consumer Code that a European platform for online resolution of consumer disputes (so-called ODR platform) has been established. The ODR platform can be accessed at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/; through the ODR platform the consumer user will be able to consult the list of ADR bodies, find the link to the site of each of them and initiate an online dispute resolution procedure in which he/she is involved.
13.5 The consumer user's right to bring the dispute arising from these General Terms and Conditions of Sale before the competent ordinary court of law shall in all cases be unaffected, whatever the outcome of the out-of-court settlement of disputes relating to consumer relations through recourse to the procedures set forth in Part V, Title II-bis Consumer Code.
13.6 Users residing in a member state of the European Union other than Italy, may, in addition, have access, for any dispute relating to the application, execution and interpretation of these General Conditions of Sale, to the European procedure established for small claims, by Council Regulation (EC) No. 861/2007 of 11 July 2007, provided that the value of the dispute does not exceed, excluding interest, fees and expenses, Euro 2,000.00.
