3.1 The Site sells only products under the Etro brand that meet our quality standards. .

3.2 The main product characteristics are described in each product card. Remember, however, that the photographs and colours may differ from the product’s actual appearance for reasons related to the browser used or computer monitor. It is understood that in these cases, any dissimilarities cannot be considered a patent defect of the product ordered.

3.3 The Seller’s customer service department is available to provide you with information on the quality or characteristics of our products. You can contact it at the addresses provided in Article 8.

3.4 If you are a consumer, Etro products sold via the Site are covered by the guarantees established by Articles 129, 130 and 132 of the Italian Consumer Code (Leg. Decree 206 /2005, hereinafter the “Consumer Code”) in the event of the lack of conformity of the goods at the time of delivery. You will therefore have the right, at your discretion, unless the requested remedy is objectively unfeasible or excessively costly with respect to the other remedy, to have the item brought into conformity by means of the repair or replacement thereof, with no expense to you in either case, or, if such remedies are unfeasible or excessively costly with respect to the other remedies, to an appropriate price reduction or to termination of contract. These rights are however forfeited if you do not report the lack of conformity to us within two months of the discovery thereof. Goods are covered by guarantee for two years from the date of delivery. Action intended to enforce defects not maliciously concealed by the seller must be taken within 26 months of delivery of the goods; if you are in agreement with performance of the contract, you can still, nevertheless, enforce your rights pursuant to art. 130, paragraph two of the Italian Consumer Code, provided that the defect was reported within two months of the discovery thereof and within 26 months of delivery.

3.5 If you wish to submit a claim under the guarantee, please do so by following the procedure set out below:

• (a) send us the product you believe to be defective together with the proof of purchase. If you no longer have the proof of purchase, you can request it from the customercareonline@etro.com email address, while providing the following information: name, surname and Etro E-Boutique order number. If the customer has misled the order number, details of the customer who made the purchase or the invoice number will suffice.
  The company will retain proof of purchase data until the guarantee expires
• (b) Fill out the Statutory Guarantee Form* provided with your order. You can also download this form from the "Statutory Guarantee" section of our site.
• (c) Prepare the package by inserting the Statutory Guarantee Form and attaching the pre-printed and prepaid UPS label to the original packaging. Please make sure that the new label covers all the information relating to the first shipment. You will have the security of being reimbursed in the event of loss or theft during shipping. The return label returns the product to the sender. If it has not been used you may reuse the same label. If the label has already been used, another one can be produced, with Etro bearing the cost thereof. If you no longer have the original packaging and/or the pre-printed and prepaid label, you can contact Customer Services by email at customercareonline@etro.com, while providing your name, surname and Etro E-Boutique order number, to request a new shipping label.
• (d) Arrange package collection: contact UPS by phone or online to arrange the collection date and provide details of the address for collection.
• (e) As soon as we receive the goods, we will check the conformity thereof and then contact you. If the check confirms lack of conformity, we will tell you how long it will take to repair. Repairs will be carried out in a suitable timeframe that takes into account the difficulty thereof. In the event of replacement, this will take place within 10 working days of the defect being confirmed. The cost of checking and returning the repaired goods or delivering replacement goods shall be borne by the company.
• (f) If it is unfeasible or excessively costly for us to arrange a repair or if one of the other cases envisaged by art. 130, paragraph 7 of Legislative Decree 206/2005 (hereinafter the "Consumer Code") should apply, you can opt for a reasonable price reduction or termination of contract (if permissible within the meaning of paragraph 10 of article 130 of the Italian Consumer Code). If you opt for a price reduction, you will be notified of the amount of the price reduction and payment thereof will be issued within 7 working days of confirmation of your acceptance of our proposal. If you opt for termination of contract, the price you paid for the goods will be refunded to you within 7 working days of confirmation of the lack of conformity of the goods.
• (g) If the check does not confirm lack of conformity, you can request that the goods be returned to you, to an address of your choice and at your own expense. Failing this, the product you sent to us will be held by the company for three months. Once the three months are up, we will have the right to retain the contract goods, by way of penalty, due to your failure to accept the return thereof. You will only be charged for the cost of the check if chemical or, in any case, instrumental analyses are necessary. You will, in any case, be notified of these costs in writing before such checks are carried out.

To find out more about your rights, please refer directly to the Italian Consumer Code.

*The form will ask you to describe the defect found, to specify the desired type of remedy (repair or replacement) - with the warning that Etro may opt for the other remedy, should the chosen remedy be too costly - and the customer's email address and telephone number.

In the event this security procedure is activated, the delivery date of the products ordered may be later than originally indicated.

If no one is present at the specified address, the courier will return the next business day, and the next, for a maximum of three visits, including the first.

It is understood that the Seller cannot be held liable if it decides to cancel the sale because of your absence.

We remind you that we do not replace products, and that you can return your product using the procedure described in Article 6.3 only from the country in which the order was placed.
