RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
22. In accordance with Legislative Decree 21/2014, which amends the Consumer Code in force (Legislative Decree 206/2005), if the user is a Consumer (i.e. a person who buys goods for purposes not related to their professional activity), they have the right to terminate the purchase contract for any reason, without explanation, within the term of 14 days from the date of receipt of the order.
23. The product which, at the time of return, is perfectly intact, without visible signs that alter the original appearance and placed in the original packaging, as at the time of receipt, will be fully refunded. In the event that the user wishes to return a product with an appearance that differs from the original (scratched exterior or altered colour, cooking surface with signs of use, etc.), he may still avail himself of the Right of Withdrawal, but he will be held responsible for the "decrease in the value of the goods stored". The refund will therefore be partial, because the costs of reconditioning, necessary for it to be put back on sale, will be deducted.
24. The Right of Withdrawal can be exercised within the term of 14 days from the date of receipt of the product with the following methods:
- The Consumer will send an e-mail to info@tritaniacookware.com containing the explicit declaration of wanting to exercise the Right of Withdrawal.
- The Customer Service will contact the user, communicating by e-mail the Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA).
- If the returned products fall under the option 'Gift with Purchase' also the gift must be returned: otherwise the value of the gift will be deducted from the customer's credit.
- Aretè S.r.l. will take care of organizing the return shipment, sending the transport document to the user via email and agreeing on the day of collection from the courier. The customer must print the transport document and apply it on the package.
- Aretè S.r.l. is not responsible for returns whose shipment is organized directly by the user and does not have tracking / delivery confirmation that shows that the package has been received by our warehouse.
25. The refund will remain suspended until receipt of the goods. After evaluating the condition of the returned goods and, if necessary, quantifying the reconditioning costs, Aretè S.r.l. will refund the total or partial amount paid within 14 days of receipt of the goods. The refund will be made using the same method of payment used by the user to make the initial transaction, minus the cost of return shipment. In case of payment through bank transfer, the customer must promptly provide the bank details on which to obtain reimbursement (IBAN of the current account of the holder of the order).

The Customer Service will contact the Consumer to accept the complaint and agree on the possible return of the product. If the Customer Service, on the basis of the photographic documentation received, considers the report of defectiveness unfounded, the customer will still be free to send the product to the company to undergo physical analysis. The product for which you report the non-conformity must be sent with proper packaging, so that you can have the repair or replacement under warranty. Aretè S.r.l. will agree with the Consumer on the withdrawal of the product. If, after receiving the product, the company verifies that the reported lack of conformity actually exists, the costs of transport and repair or replacement will be borne by the company. Otherwise, or if the company verifies that the lack of conformity reported does not exist, the Legal Warranty will not operate and all transport costs will be borne by the Consumer, in this case the company will notify the Consumer and the product will be returned to the shipping address specified by the Consumer when ordering. In all cases of non-delivery of products to the Consumer the products will be kept in storage for 15 days after which the company will have the right to freely dispose of the products themselves.
