Delivery is possible within those delivery countries listed on the Website and, depending on the item and destination country, will be made within the period indicated on the Seller’s site and in the e-mail confirmation. In the event that the Seller is not able to make the delivery within this period, the Buyer will be notified in a timely manner by e-mail. Upon the Buyer’s request and provided that the Seller agrees to do so, deliveries are also possible to other countries not listed above. The terms of delivery and payment, as well as all costs incurred – which shall in any case be borne by the Buyer – shall be agreed upon by the contracting parties in each of these cases.

6.3 The Seller is not responsible for the delay or lack of delivery of the goods in case of inaccurate or incorrect address data provided by the Buyer.

9.3 The Buyer is strictly prohibited from entering false and/or fictitious and/or fantasy data when registering through the relevant online form.

9.4 The Buyer indemnifies the Seller from any liability for the issuance of incorrect tax documents due to incorrect information provided by the Buyer, who is solely responsible for the correct data entry.
9.5 When purchasing alcoholic products, the Buyer confirms and expressly declares that he/she has reached the minimum legal age of 18 years provided for the purchase of alcoholic products. In addition, the Purchaser of alcoholic products declares that the data submitted for the execution of the contract are true.
10. right of withdrawal according to legislative decree no. 206/2005
10.1 The right of withdrawal shall apply only to the products specified in Legislative Decree No. 206 of 6 September 2005.
10.2 For the products for which the right of withdrawal is not excluded, the Purchaser may withdraw from the concluded contract without penalty and without giving any reason within 14 (fourteen) days from the receipt of the ordered goods. Any revocation shall be addressed to Hofbrennerei Gaudenz with registered office in I – 39020 Partschins (BZ), Gaudententurmstraße 7, VAT No. IT02541400210, e-mail address: info@hofbrennerei.com, tel. +39 348 7341463.
10.3 If the Buyer wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, he must inform the Seller of his decision to withdraw from the contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by mail, fax or e-mail). The Buyer may also use the model withdrawal form attached in Annex I, Section B of Legislative Decree No.21/2014, which, however, is not mandatory.
10.4 In order to comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient that the Buyer sends the notification of exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period. The burden of proof regarding the intended exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the Buyer.
10.5 The return of the goods must be made without delay and in any case no later than within 14 (fourteen) days from the date on which the Buyer notified the Seller of its decision to withdraw from the contract. The Buyer shall be liable for any loss in value of the goods if such loss in value is due to handling of the goods that is not necessary for testing the quality, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
10.6 In the cases expressly provided for in Article 59 of Legislative Decree No. 206/2005, the Buyer may not exercise the right of withdrawal.
10.7 In case of exercising the right of withdrawal according to the provisions of this article, the Buyer shall bear the costs directly related to the return of the goods to the Seller.
10.8 The Buyer who exercises his right of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of this Article shall be refunded all amounts already paid, including delivery costs, with the exception of additional costs incurred because the Buyer expressly opted for a type of delivery other than the cheaper standard delivery offered by the Seller. The refund will be made without delay and in any case within 14 days from the date on which the Seller was informed of the Buyer’s decision to exercise the right of withdrawal, using the same means of payment used by the Buyer in the original transaction, unless otherwise expressly agreed with the Buyer. However, Seller may refuse repayment until it has received the goods back or until Buyer has provided proof that it has returned the goods, whichever is the earlier, unless Seller has offered to collect the goods itself.
10.9 Upon receipt of the notice in which the Buyer notifies the Seller of the exercise of the right of withdrawal, the Parties shall be released from their respective obligations, without prejudice to the provisions of this Article.
10.10 Exclusion of the right of withdrawal: the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the supply of goods that can spoil quickly or whose expiry date would be quickly exceeded. There is no right of withdrawal, unless otherwise agreed, for contracts for the provision of services related to leisure activities, if the contract provides for a specific date or period for the provision. Accordingly, a right of withdrawal is also excluded in the case of contracts for the sale of tickets for scheduled leisure events.
10.11 The EU has set up an online portal to help dissatisfied customers. In the event of complaints about goods or services purchased from us via the Internet, you can find a neutral dispute resolution body at the following addresshttp://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr to reach an out-of-court solution. Please note, for some industries and in some countries there are currently (as of 01/02/2017) no dispute resolution bodies. Therefore, as a consumer, you may not be able to use this portal to resolve disputes with us in these countries. For more information, please visit the EU online portal. We are not obliged to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board. Nevertheless, we are generally willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
10.12. If a wine is delivered with a defect (e.g. cork taste), we ask customers to contact our customer service department at lo@cker.it. We will replace corked goods after receiving the lot number of each bottle. Unfortunately, since cork is a natural material, it can be subject to natural variations in quality. We record and control each incident together with the producer and ask for your understanding should this problem occur.
11. express termination clause
11.1 The obligations foreseen for the Buyer in art. 9 are essential to this contract. It is therefore expressly agreed that the non-performance of even one of these obligations – unless due to accident or force majeure – shall result in the termination of the contract pursuant to art. 1456 of the Italian Civil Code, without the need for a court judgment.
12. communications
12.1 Except for the cases expressly mentioned or those established by law, communications between the Seller and the Buyer shall preferably be made by e-mail messages sent to the respective e-mail addresses, which shall be considered by both Parties as a valid means of communication and the use of which cannot be objected to in court solely on the basis of the fact that they are electronic documents.

(i) oppose, on legitimate grounds, the processing of personal data concerning him or her, even if pertinent to the purpose of the collection;
ii) to oppose the processing of personal data concerning him/her, if such processing is carried out for the purpose of sending advertising material or direct sales, for market or opinion research or for commercial information.
13.7 The disclosure of own personal data by the Buyer is a necessary condition for the proper and timely execution of the Contract. Otherwise, the Buyer’s order cannot be processed.
13.8 The acquired data shall in any case not be kept beyond the period necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or subsequently processed. Their removal will be carried out in a secure manner.
13.9 The owner of the collection and processing of personal data is the Seller, to whose registered office the Buyer may address its requests and demands.
