The date indicated on the delivery receipt will prevail.
The right to termination must be enforced by the Customer by sending to Cimbali a registered letter, or a written communication by equivalent technology, with an express declaration of the intention to enforce the right to terminate the purchase agreement, as well as the concerned order number he wants to terminate. In order to enforce the right to termination, the Customer could use the specific “return form” available in the order section of the Personal Area.

For the purposes of complaining with the above terms, it is enough that the Customer sends the communication related to the right to termination within the termination period. This communication could be sent by telegram, telex, e-mail and fax too, with a registered letter within the 48 (forty-eight) subsequent hours.
In case the Customer enforces the right to terminate, he must return to Cimbali the Products without any delay and, in any case, within 14 (fourteen) working days from the communication of the termination. The term is complied if the Customer sends the Products within 14 (fourteen) days from the communication of the termination.
If the Customer terminates the purchase agreement under the Terms and Conditions, all the costs already paid to Cimbali will be refunded, the delivery costs included (except for the extra cost due to a particular kind of delivery required by the Customer, and different from the cheaper standard delivery offered by Cimbali), without any delay and in any case within 14 (fourteen) days from the day Cimbali has been informed of the decision of termination. Those reimbursements will be performed through the same payment instrument chosen for the first transaction, except for the Customer expressly required a different payment instrument; in any case the Customer will not bear any cost as result of the reimbursement.

In performing these checks, personal information provided by the Customer may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. This is done only to confirm the Customer’s identity, a credit check is not performed, and the Customer’s credit rating will be unaffected.
If an order placed by the Customer is considered to be fraudulent or otherwise made in breach of this Terms and Conditions, the sale will be cancelled immediately, and in the event that any sums have already been debited to the Customer, they will be refunded within 14 (fourteen) business days after proper notification.

Pursuant to article 1256 of the Italian Civil Code, the obligation is extinguished when the performance becomes impossible for a cause that is not attributable to the Parties.
If the impossibility is only temporary, as long as it lasts, the Party that is not capable of performing is not responsible for the delay in performance. The obligation is extinguished if the impossibility lasts until the Party that is not capable of performing can no longer be considered bound to perform the contractual service in relation to the service subject to the Terms and Conditions or, alternatively, the other Party no longer has an interest in achieving said performance.
14. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions, as well as any purchase agreement based on the same, are governed by Italian Law, without prejudice to any other overriding mandatory law in the country of residence of the Customer.

If the Customer is not resident in the European Union territory, the Court of Milan shall have jurisdiction according to Italian Law.
