7. WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY

The Seller guarantees the Client for the lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the product that occurs within two years from the delivery of the product. The Client forfeits all rights if the Seller is not notified of the lack of conformity within two months from the date on which the defect was discovered.

This warranty does not include any malfunctions, defects or faults which are the consequence of facts, wear or responsibility of the Client, or use of the product not in accordance with its intended use and/or provisions in the description accompanying the product or as indicated by the Seller.

It is assumed that the products comply with the contract if they:

1. are fit for the purpose for which products of the same type are normally used;

2. comply with the description given by the seller and possess the qualities of the product which the Seller has held out to the buyer as a sample or model;

3. show the quality and performance which are normal in a product of the same type, which the buyer can reasonably expect, given the nature of the product and, where appropriate, of the statements contained in advertising or on labelling;

4. are fit for any particular purpose for which the Client requires them and which he made known to the seller at the time of conclusion of the contract and which the seller has accepted

In order to take advantage of the Legal Warranty, the Client must first provide proof of the date of purchase and of the delivery of the products. To this end, the Client should keep the purchase invoice, purchase receipt or any other document that certifies the date of purchase and the date of delivery.

In case of lack of conformity, the Client shall contact the Customer Service at info@hiceshoes.com, which will provide instructions to follow. Creative reserves the right to ask the Client to include, in his request for warranty, detailed photos of the product, the purchase invoice and/or other document proving the date of conclusion of purchase and the delivery date. Creative will verify the defect complained and will communicate the result to the Client, requesting the return of the product if needed. In this case, the product must be sent to the following address, according to the instructions provided by the Customer Service:

ITALIA

The shipping costs related to the return of products (including any customs charges, if any) will be borne only by the Client.

In the event that the lack of conformity is confirmed, the Client may request the repair or replacement of the product purchased, unless the remedy requested is objectively impossible or disproportionate. Repairs and replacements shall be made by the seller within a reasonable time agreed with the Client.

Should Creative, for any reason, not be able to provide the Client with a product under the warranty (repaired or replaced), or should repair or replacement be excessively burdensome, due to the value of the product, Creative may proceed by applying an appropriate discount on the price paid, or by refunding the whole amount paid and terminating the contract. In any case, a minor defect, for which it was not possible or is excessively burdensome to carry out the remedies of repair or replacement, does not entitle the Client to terminate the contract.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Creative assumes no liability for exceptional circumstances that prevent it from executing the order within the time stipulated in the agreement.

Creative cannot be held liable to the Client, except in cases of intentional misconduct or gross negligence, for outages or malfunctions related to the use of the Internet that are outside of its control or of its sub-contractors.

Creative assumes no liability for any fraudulent or illegal use that may be made by third parties, of credit cards, checks and other means of payment, at the act of payment for the products purchased, if it proves that it has taken all possible precautions based on the best knowledge and experience of the moment and based on due diligence.
