The technical information included in the website www.tenutapolvaro.com faithfully reproduce those of the goods included in the catalog.

3. Delivery Methods

The Seller accepts orders only for delivery on the territory of Italy. Any requests for delivery outside the national territory must be handled directly with the Seller by e-mail at customercare@tenutapolvaro.it

For each order placed on www.tenutapolvaro.com, the Seller issues an invoice or receipt for the material shipped. For the issuance of the invoice or the tax receipt, the information provided by the Customer at the time of the order is valid. No changes to the invoice or the tax receipt will be possible after the issuance of the same.

The shipping costs on the territory of Italy for orders of less than € 99 are charged to the customer and are explicitly highlighted at the time the order is placed. The payment of the goods by the Customer will be made using the method chosen at the time of the order. No additional fees or commissions are payable to the Seller. Any shipping costs outside the Italian territory will be quantified or budgeted separately.

The delivery of the ordered goods refers to the home floor.

The goods travel with packaging made directly by the Seller specifically designed for safe transport.

The delivery times of the ordered goods are purely indicative; they may undergo variations due to force majeure or due to traffic and road conditions in general or by act of the Authority. Standard delivery, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Seller and the Customer, will take place approximately at the following times: from 9.00 to 13.00; from 2.00 pm to 6.00 pm, every day, except holidays, from Monday to Friday. It is not possible to ensure a predetermined delivery time nor to ensure a telephone call by the courier in the vicinity of the delivery.

No responsibility can be attributed to the Seller in case of delay in the delivery of the ordered goods.

Upon delivery of the goods by the courier, the Customer is required to check:

– that the number of packages delivered corresponds to what is indicated on the invoice or receipt;

– that the packaging is intact, not damaged or wet or, in any case, altered.

Once the goods have been accepted, the Customer will not be able to make any objection regarding the external characteristics of what has been delivered.

Even if the packaging is intact, the goods must be checked within 8 days of receipt. Any damage or hidden anomalies must be reported in writing by registered mail with return receipt to the courier. Any report beyond the aforementioned terms will not be taken into consideration. For each declaration, the Customer assumes full responsibility for what is declared.

4. Order fulfillment times

With “order fulfillment times” we mean the time interval that elapses from the receipt of the order to the delivery of the product to the courier to proceed with the shipment.

All orders, containing products available in stock for which payment confirmation has been received by 12PM on a working day, are entrusted to the courier within the following 48 working hours..

5. Right of withdrawal

5.1 Pursuant to art. 59 of Legislative Decree 21 February 2014, n. 21 the right of withdrawal of those foodstuffs which, by their nature, deteriorate completely after opening, is applicable only in the event that such goods are returned in perfect integrity of the food package itself. In the specific case of wines, therefore, the bottle cannot be opened and returned together with its contents; while the packaging that contains the bottle can be opened and the bottle returned if kept intact. The wines and grappas produced and marketed by the Seller are therefore subject to this rule.

5.2 For other products, other than wines or grappas, marketed by the Seller, if the Customer is a consumer (i.e. a natural person who purchases the goods for purposes not related to his professional activity, or does not make the purchase by indicating in the form order to the Seller a reference of VAT number), it is possible to withdraw from the purchase contract for any reason within 14 days of receipt of the goods.

5.3 To exercise this right, it is sufficient for the Customer to send an explicit declaration, also by e-mail, of the intention to exercise the right of withdrawal. The Seller will send the Customer via e-mail a form which must be printed, and which contains the authorization number which must be attached to the outside of the casing in which the product will be physically placed and sent to the Seller, without undue delay, within 14 working days from the withdrawal authorization.

5.4 The customer who withdraws, for products covered by the right of withdrawal, will be reimbursed for the payments made, including delivery costs (except for additional costs deriving from the possible choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered), without undue delay and in any case no later than 14 days from when the Seller receives the decision to withdraw. These refunds will be made using the same payment method used for the initial transaction unless the Customer requests the refund on a different payment method. In this case, the Customer will be responsible for any additional costs deriving from the different means of payment chosen. The refund may be suspended until receipt of the goods or until the Customer demonstrates that he has returned the goods. For the refund to be made by bank transfer, the Customer must also indicate the bank details necessary to return the sums paid.
