  1. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER AND BUYERS

3.1 The Seller reserves the right not to accept, to suspend, or to cancel orders that appear anomalous regarding the quantity of Products purchased or the frequency of purchase, in the event of suspected improper use of gift cards, or due to payment issues.

3.2 The delivery of the Products shall be carried out at the address provided by the Buyer via DHL courier. Further details on shipping times, costs, and countries are available in the "Order Processing and Shipping" section below.

The Seller shall not be liable for any errors in the delivery of the purchased Items caused by incomplete or inaccurate information provided by the Buyer. The Seller shall not be liable for any damage suffered by the Items after their delivery to the Buyer, nor for any delivery delays caused by the courier, weather conditions, international customs issues, or other circumstances beyond the Seller’s control.

3.3 Since the Site also offers vintage or second-hand Products (the "Vintage Products"), it may occur that the purchased Product is no longer available. In such case, the Seller shall inform the Buyer via e-mail and refund any amount paid by the Buyer using the payment method chosen by the Buyer, within 14 days; the refund shall also include the shipping cost if the unavailable Product was the only item purchased in that order.

  1. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRODUCTS AND CONFORMITY

4.1 The Products are described on the Site with images and an information sheet containing relevant details. Buyers acknowledge that Vintage Products may present signs of wear and/or imperfections due to their second-hand nature. For further details on an Item, the Buyer may contact the Seller via e-mail.

The Seller undertakes to ensure that the description and/or photographic representation of the Products on the Site are as accurate as possible; however, the images are to be considered illustrative and may not perfectly reflect the actual Product.

Unless otherwise indicated, Vintage Products will not be shipped in their original packaging and/or boxes.

4.2 The Products are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity pursuant to Arts. 128 et seq. of the Consumer Code. Therefore, the Seller is liable for lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the Products or manifesting within two years for new Products.

4.3 With reference to Vintage Products, the Seller is liable only for lack of conformity not signalled in the description or images and which exceeds normal wear and tear. In such case, the warranty has a duration of one year from delivery.

4.4 If the Buyer discovers a lack of conformity, they must promptly inform the Seller by providing: (i) photographic material evidencing the defect, or (ii) returning the Product at the Seller’s expense. They must also provide a copy of the Contract, proof of the delivery date, and the order number. If the defect is confirmed, the Buyer may choose between repair or replacement free of charge.

If such remedies are impossible or excessively burdensome (for example, for Vintage Products which are unique pieces), the Buyer may request a proportional reduction of the price or the termination of the Contract. Termination of the Contract is not possible if the defect is minor.

For any further information, it is possible to contact the Seller at the address sovainofficial@gmail.com.

  1. RETURNS AND EXCHANGES

8.1 In compliance with the Consumer Code, the Buyer has the right to withdraw from the Contract without penalty and without specifying the reason within 14 days of receipt of the Items.

8.2 Should the Buyer intend to exercise the right of withdrawal, they must send an e-mail to the Seller at the address sovainofficial@gmail.com within 14 days, indicating the order number, name, contact details, address, and, if they wish, mentioning the reason for withdrawal.

8.4 An essential condition for exercising the right of withdrawal is the substantial integrity of the Product(s) being returned.

8.5 In particular, the Products must be returned intact and in the same condition in which they were delivered, correctly packed in their original packaging and in perfect resale condition (not ruined, damaged, or soiled), together with all accessories and documentation, if present at the time of delivery. Vintage Products must be returned in the state in which they were delivered. The delivery note (present in the original packaging) must also be included to identify the order.

The refund, which shall also include shipping costs, shall be made using the same payment method chosen for the purchase, unless otherwise indicated by the Buyer. The crediting time will depend on the payment method and the banking institution.

For orders made with a credit card, the amount to be refunded will be visible on the Buyer's next credit card statement. The processing time for the refund may vary depending on the credit card issuing company.

The refund is made in the same currency as the order. Any differences in the refunded amount may depend on variations in the currency exchange rate and will not be refunded.

8.9 If the returned Product does not comply with the conditions set forth in Article 8.5, the Seller may reduce the refund amount in proportion to the diminished value of the Item. In this case, the Buyer may request the return of the Product at their own expense.

8.10 If the Buyer has returned a new Product, and not a Vintage Product, the Buyer may request, as an alternative to a refund, the replacement of the Product with the same model in a different size or color. Exchange for a different Item will not be accepted.

In such case, the Buyer must contact the Seller at the e-mail address sovainofficial@gmail.com indicating the order number, their name, contact details, address, and requesting the size/color exchange. If available, the Seller will confirm the exchange and provide instructions for the return.

Once the Seller has received the Item to be returned, and after ascertaining that the conditions indicated in Article 8.5 above have been met, the new Item will be sent to the Buyer promptly.
