    2. Consumer indicates a person acting for purposes unrelated to the business or commercial activity, trade or profession.
    3. Purchases made on the website imply that the Buyer has read, and unconditionally accepted the Terms and Conditions.
  4. Pre-contract information
    1. Before buying online the Buyer shall complete the Vendor's online order form, and send it electronically, following the instructions given.
    2. Prior to confirming the order, the Vendor is legally required to provide the Buyer with all the information referred to in Article 49 of the Italian Consumer Code; information about the right of cancellation, in particular, will be provided in the Instructions on cancellation contained in Annex I Part A of Article 1 (1) of Italian Legislative Decree 21 dated 21.02.2014.
    3. To complete the order, the Buyer shall confirm the payment for the Products in the cart; after selecting the Products and confirming the Buyer’s details the Website will redirect the Buyer to the Adyen payment systems page, which will manage the payment transaction.
    4. Any orders for which no payment transaction has been registered will automatically be cancelled.
    5. On receipt of confirmation of payment as indicated on the order, the Vendor will send the Buyer email confirmation of the order to the address specified during the login, as required by Article 51 (7) of Italian Legislative Decree no. 206/2005.
    6. The offer of products on the Website is a public offer as defined in Article 1336 civil code; the compilation and successful dispatch of an order via the Website therefore constitutes acceptance of the offer. The contract will be considered to have been made when the Vendor receives the Buyer’s acceptance, on the above-mentioned order form.
    7. However the Vendor may refuse to accept the order if the credit card or other e-payment is not authorised.
    8. The Buyer may, at any time, monitor the status of his or her order by contacting the Customer Service through the relevant section, or using the tracking number given in the shipping confirmation email.
    9. In any event the Buyer is required to keep the order number given by the Vendor, and this number should be quoted in all correspondence with the Vendor.

    12. If the order is not accepted (case 4.12), the Vendor will promptly inform the Buyer by email.
  5. Choice and availability of Products
    1. The Products offered for sale on the website are PINKO-branded garments and accessories included in the online catalogue at the time the Buyer made the order.
    2. The Product catalogue may be updated by the Vendor. The Vendor therefore provides no guarantees that a product will be available online. Under no circumstances can the Vendor guarantee availability of all sizes or models for each garment/colour.
    3. In the product catalogue, each item is accompanied by a description of its main characteristics. Images and colours may not correspond exactly to the real customer characteristics due to the effect of the computer settings or devices utilised by the Buyer to view the Website. Images are therefore published for information only and are subject to the usual tolerance limits.
    4. If the chosen Product is not available, despite being selected on the order form, the Vendor will promptly inform the Buyer by email and offer the termination of the sale contract and a refund of the price including any delivery costs, if already paid.
  6. Prices, conditions of purchase and means of payment
    1. The retail prices are those published online at the time of completion of the order. They include VAT, if applicable, depending on the country to which the Products are shipped. For shipments to the UK, Poland, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Russia, Japan and the USA, payment is made in local currency; for other destinations, payment is made in euros.
    2. The prices quoted in the online catalogue may be varied without notice. The Buyer is therefore responsible for checking the final price before submitting the purchase order.
    3. The Vendor may also charge different sale prices depending on the country to which the products are delivered.
    4. The Products may only be paid for with the following methods:

      5. • Credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express)

      • PayPal

      • SEPA Direct Debit (where available)

    5. The sale price will be debited at the time the order is shipped.
  7. Terms of delivery, costs and other charges
    1. The Products will be delivered by courier directly to the Buyer, at the delivery address as specified in the order.
    2. The Website allows the Products to be delivered to an address other than the Buyer’s address, provided that the address is within the shipping country indicated when the order is made. In any event, the Buyer is responsible for providing all the information necessary for successful delivery (for example, for deliveries to third parties, specify the name on the doorbell).
    3. Products purchased via the website cannot be collected directly from the Vendor’s warehouse.
    4. The delivery costs and methods may vary depending on the country and shipping method chosen by the Buyer, in accordance with the table available on the Website.
    5. These costs and any additional charges are payable by the Buyer. The amount must be indicated separately in the order summary before the Buyer submits the order, and also in the email confirming the order, referred to in Article 4.
    6. When the Products are delivered to the courier, the Buyer will receive a confirmation email from the Vendor, expressly indicating the name of the courier and the shipping details.
    7. The delivery time will vary depending on the destination country and chosen shipping method.
    8. In Italy, delivery takes between 1-5 working days; in other countries the delivery times will vary depending on the chosen shipping method. These are indicated in the table available on the Website.
    9. Not all the shipping methods provided by the Vendor’s courier will be available in all the countries in which products can be bought online.
    10. Both in Italy and abroad, the delivery process requires that if the recipient is absent at the time of the courier’s visit, the courier will leave a notice with information about who to contact to agree a second delivery.
    11. The Buyer may check the progress of his or her order using the tracking number provided in the shipping confirmation email or by contacting the Customer Service, via the relevant section.
    12. The Products are considered to have been delivered at the time when the consumer or other third party designated by the Buyer (other than the courier) takes physical possession of the goods; from that time, the legal risk of loss or damage of the Products for reasons not attributable to the Vendor, is transferred to the Buyer.
  8. Buyer’s obligations on delivery
    1. The Buyer confirms that the collection of the Products is an obligation deriving from the sale contract agreed with the Vendor.
    2. If the Products are not delivered because the recipient was out, after the scheduled delivery attempts have been made, the package will be left on deposit.
    3. If the package is not collected on the dates indicated by the courier on the notice left for the Buyer, it will be returned to the Vendor.
    4. In the case referred to in paragraph 8.3, the contract will be legally terminated in accordance with Article 1456 civil code, by means of an email sent to the Buyer. Therefore the order will be cancelled, to all intents and purposes. Within 15 days of the above communication the Vendor will refund the full amount paid by the Buyer for the Product, less the costs of the unsuccessful delivery, the costs of returning the Products to the Vendor, and any other cost that the Vendor may have incurred due to the non-delivery resulting from the absence of the Buyer or failure by the Buyer to take action in receiving the delivery.
    5. Any reimbursement due in accordance with paragraph 8.4 will be credited to the same card/payment method used by the Buyer.
    6. Following the communication referred to in paragraph 8.4, the Buyer will have to make a new order, if he or she intends to request the delivery of the products.
    7. The Vendor may refuse orders from Buyers against whom the Vendor had previously enforced the express termination clause (paragraph 8.4) due to failure in the obligation to receive the products.
    8. On receipt of the Products, the customers should check that they conform to the order, paying particular attention to the following:

      9. the number of parcels indicated on the courier’s letter corresponds to the number actually delivered;

      the pack is intact and has not been damaged or tampered with.

      Any irregularities (tampering, damage to the package) should be specifically indicated in writing on the courier’s transport notes. The Buyer should refuse the delivery. The Buyer should report the incident to the Vendor’s Customer Service department, via the relevant section.

    9. The Buyer should then sign the transport note only after having carried out the checks referred to in Article 8.8.
    10. If the Buyer does not proceed in accordance with the above and therefore accepts the products even if the packaging has been damaged or tampered with, the Buyer will lose the benefit of the products’ legal conformity warranty.
  9. Right of cancellation
    1. The Buyer, as consumer, may cancel the sale contract under Article 52 of Italian Legislative Decree 206/2005 (Consumer Code) without having to provide any explanation or incurring any penalties.

The reimbursement will be made using the same card/payment method utilised by the Buyer.
    9.
