Delivery

Deliveries will be made to the address indicated on the order. Time-frames indicated on our website are subject to availability of the items ordered and based on estimated delivery times indicated by the specific shipping company. In the event that an item ordered is not available due to a technical error, the client will be notified via email regarding any delay so as to confirm processing of the order.

Vallone di Cecione does not assume any responsibility for delays of delivery due to strikes or other transportation related issues which would impede the approximate delivery times indicated. Our shipping partners deliver during normal business hours (Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm). For this reason it is advised to have the goods delivered to an address where someone is present at all times. If delivery is to occur at a business which has a day of closure, please be sure to indicate this. It is also recommended to supply a phone number in the event that the shipping agent needs additional information regarding delivery.

If a third attempt at delivery is necessary due to the unavailability of someone to accept the goods or as a result of an error in the address itself, additional charges may be owed by the client. Vallone di Cecione does not assume responsibility for any additional shipping charges due.

Right of Withdrawal

Referring to Legislative Act 185 of May 22, 1999, and Directive 97/7/CE relating to buyers protection in contracts at a distance; the client has the right to withdraw, for any reason, from the purchase without penalty within 10 days of receipt of the goods. Communication of withdrawal must be sent by return receipt to “Vallone di Cecione, Via Case Sparse 7, 50022 Panzano in chianti (FI), Italy”, and can be pre-sent by fax or email stipulating that such communication is followed by the arrival of the notice by return receipt within 48 hours. It is not necessary at any time to divulge the reason for withdrawal. However, any input to help Vallone di Cecione improve services is always greatly appreciated.

Refunds will be made by bank transfer or by other means indicated in the withdrawal confirmation, and will be processed as quickly as possible not to exceed 30 days from the time in which Vallone di Cecione was notified of the intent to withdraw from the purchase. The goods must not have been opened, with exception of packaging, and must not show any sign of tampering.

ANY AND ALL SHIPPING COSTS FOR GOODS BEING RETURNED ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CLIENT. Vallone di Cecione will not accept returning parcels as COD (cash on delivery). Vallone di Cecione cannot be held responsible for any damages incurred during return shipment. Should goods appear to be damaged, tampered with, or in the event of loss, purchase payment will not be refunded. It is therefore strongly recommended that the client use a reliable shipper with the ability to track delivery and with insurance for loss or damage. The right to withdrawal is not applicable to commercial or resale clients.
