These terms run from the end of the purchase order processing, communicated via specific notice by Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l. The terms remain suspended during Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
Art. 7 – Returns for Transport Damage
- In the event that the Buyer finds any external damage to the packaging or a discrepancy in the number of packages, they must immediately place a written “control reserve” on the Courier’s proof of delivery or refuse acceptance of the damaged package, writing the reason in pen on the waybill that the Courier requires to be signed upon receipt of delivery. A Buyer who has accepted the package with a control reserve and subsequently finds damage to the product must, within 14 days of delivery, report the damage by sending an email to the dedicated address shop.assistant@stagnoli.com. The Buyer must specify the reason for the report as well as the purchase order number and fiscal documentation;
- In the event that the Buyer finds damage to the product due to transport that was not visible from the outside, or a discrepancy in the number of products received, they must report the damage — in the first case within 14 days of discovery and in the second case within 14 days of delivery — by sending an email to the certified email address shop.assistant@stagnoli.com. The Buyer must specify the reason for the report as well as the purchase order number and fiscal documentation;
If the Buyer does not act in the manner and within the timeframes indicated in points 1 and 2 of this article, they will lose the rights to replacement or refund. Following the report submitted by the Buyer, Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l. will proceed to replace the damaged product. If, for any reason, Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l is unable to replace the product, it may proceed with a refund of the entire amount paid or its replacement with a product of equal or higher value in agreement with the Buyer.
Art. 8 – Reporting Defects and Legal Warranty
Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l is obliged to deliver goods to the buyer that conform to the sales contract and is liable to the Buyer for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the goods. Products are covered by a two-year legal warranty for lack of conformity in accordance with articles 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 134, and 135 of Legislative Decree 206/2005 and subsequent amendments and additions. This warranty is reserved for the consumer as defined by Legislative Decree 206/2005 and subsequent amendments and additions. The buyer forfeits the warranty if they do not report the lack of conformity to the seller within 2 months from the date on which they discovered the defect. The legal warranty only covers the replacement of the good that does not conform to the sales contract. The warranty does not apply if the reported defects result from incorrect storage, handling, use, or transport of the product by the consumer, or in the event of failure to comply with the manufacturer’s instructions provided on the product label. Likewise, the warranty does not apply whenever the defect is attributable to the consumer’s negligent or willful conduct or depends on other causes not related to the production and transport of the product to the consumer’s home. In the event that the Buyer finds lack of conformity, they must report the damage within 2 months from the date of discovery of the defect by sending an email to the certified email address shop.assistant@stagnoli.com. The Buyer must specify, in addition to the reason for the report, the purchase order number and fiscal documentation. In the event of a lack of conformity, duly reported within the prescribed terms, the Buyer shall be entitled to the replacement of the product within a reasonable period, unless the remedy itself is objectively impossible or excessively burdensome; secondarily, the Buyer shall be entitled to a price reduction or termination of the contract. A lack of conformity of minor importance, for which it was not possible or was excessively burdensome to pursue the remedies of repair or replacement, does not grant the right to terminate the contract. Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l reserves the right to verify the existence of the lack of conformity and reserves the right to inform the buyer if it will arrange for the collection of the defective product at the buyer’s home. The operational times for completing activities related to the activation of the warranty are variable and are determined by the type of product and the nature of the defect. Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l shall never, under any circumstances, be burdened with costs arising from any delays in the delivery of the replaced product or the refund of the price. In any case, except for exceptional circumstances, the replacement will be carried out within 60 days of the delivery of the defective product to Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l. Otherwise, the Buyer may pursue one of the alternative remedies provided by law (termination of the contract or reduction of the price paid, taking into account any use of the item).
Art. 9 – Right of Withdrawal
Pursuant to the law, the Buyer may exercise the right to withdraw from the contract without specifying a reason and without paying any penalty within a term of 14 days. This period begins from the day on which the Buyer or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by the Buyer, acquires physical possession of the last good, provided that the information obligations set forth in Art. 52 of Legislative Decree 206/2005 and subsequent amendments have been met. The right of withdrawal must be exercised by the Buyer by sending a communication to the certified email address shop.assistant@stagnoli.com. The communication must include the Buyer’s name, address, purchase order number, the intent to withdraw from the purchase, and the product or products for which the right of withdrawal is being exercised. Furthermore, the Buyer must attach a copy of an identity document, a copy of the fiscal purchase documentation, and provide both a telephone number for contact and the bank details (IBAN) for receiving the refund. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient to send the communication regarding the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period expires. Upon receipt of the withdrawal notice, Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l will provide the Buyer with the address for shipping the returned products and the return authorization. The Buyer must ship the product, carefully packed in its original packaging and complete with all original contents, to the communicated address. Shipping must be carried out via a courier selected by Stagnoli within 14 days of the withdrawal communication. For the purposes of meeting the deadline, the goods are considered returned at the moment they are delivered to the selected courier. Upon receipt of the products, or until the Buyer has demonstrated that they have sent the goods back (whichever occurs first), Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l will refund the amount paid. The expenses incurred by the Buyer for returning the products to Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l are borne by the Buyer. The integrity of the goods to be returned is an essential condition for exercising the right of withdrawal. Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l will refund the sums paid within 14 days of being informed of the Buyer’s decision to withdraw, using the same payment method used for the initial transaction unless otherwise expressly agreed. The refund may be suspended until the goods are received or until the Buyer demonstrates that they have shipped the goods.

Shipping costs, where applicable to the Buyer, will be applied according to the prices indicated in the specific section of the website shop.stagnoligears.com, which the Buyer reviews before placing the order.

Art. 12 – Liability
Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l assumes no liability for service disruptions attributable to force majeure of any nature or kind, in the event it is unable to execute the contract within the agreed timelines. Force majeure events include, by way of example but not limited to, accidents, explosions, fires, strikes and/or lockouts, earthquakes, floods, and other similar events, as well as measures taken by Public Authorities, strikes by its own employees or the carriers used by Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l, and any other circumstance beyond the latter’s control. Without prejudice to the provisions of Art. 8 of E.U. Directive 97/7 and Art. 56 of Legislative Decree 206/2005 and subsequent amendments and additions, Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l assumes no liability for any fraudulent use by third parties of the credit card data provided by the Buyer. Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l shall not be held responsible, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence, for service disruptions or malfunctions related to the use of the Internet outside its own control or that of its sub-suppliers. Furthermore, Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l shall not be liable for damages, losses, and costs suffered by the Buyer as a result of the failure to execute the contract for reasons not attributable to the Buyer, as the Buyer is only entitled to a full refund of the price paid and any incidental costs incurred.
Art. 13 – Payment and Invoicing Methods
The Buyer shall pay for the ordered products using the following methods: credit card (including prepaid cards), digital wallet, and/or PayPal. The credit cards accepted by Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l are: Visa, American Express, Mastercard, and Maestro. Once the payment method is selected, the Buyer will be directed to the relevant site to perform the transaction and complete the payment. The payment will include shipping costs, where applicable to the Buyer, according to the terms of the offer published on the site shop.stagnoligears.com (for more information, consult the dedicated page). Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l will send the invoice via certified electronic mail (PEC) only to Buyers registered with a VAT number who have requested it by checking the appropriate box on the checkout page. For all others, the order confirmation email serves as proof of the order. For the issuance of the fiscal document, the information provided by the Buyer at the time of the order shall prevail. No changes will be possible after the fiscal document has been issued. To this end, the Buyer undertakes to carefully verify the data entered at the time of the order, as it will be used for accounting records.
Art. 14 – Contract Termination and Express Termination Clause
The obligations assumed by the Buyer under Art. 5 above (Buyer Obligations), as well as the guarantee of successful payment to be made by the Buyer, are of an essential nature. Consequently, by express agreement, the failure of the Buyer to fulfill even one of said obligations shall result in the automatic termination of the contract de jure pursuant to Art. 1456 of the Italian Civil Code, without the need for a judicial ruling. This is without prejudice to the right of Stagnoli T.G. S.r.l to take legal action for the recovery of further damages.
Art. 15 – Security
Online transactions via credit card and PayPal are carried out on their respective sites through secure servers that adopt the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protection system.
