It will be the Customer's responsibility to promptly provide the bank details on which to obtain the refund (first name last name account holder, IBAN code).
10.9 However, the right of withdrawal is subject to the following conditions:
Pimax's Products are sold in special packaging; such packaging is considered an integral part of the Products. Therefore, in order for the Customer to properly exercise the right of withdrawal, the Product purchased must be intact and returned in its original packaging, complete in all its parts (including packaging and any documentation and accessory equipment to limit damage to the original packaging).

- upon its arrival at the above return address, the Product will be examined for any damage or tampering not resulting from transportation.

- The lack of or damage to the outer package;
- The lack of or damage to the original inner packaging;
- The absence of integral elements of the Product (accessories, parts);
- Damage to the Product due to causes other than transportation.
10.11 In the event of forfeiture of the right of withdrawal, Pimax will return the purchased Product to the Consumer Customer, charging the same for shipping costs, and no refund of the price paid will be made.

11. WARRANTY
11.1 In the event of a lack of conformity, i.e. delivery of goods that present defects or faults or are different from those provided for in the contract of sale, i.e. unsuitable for the use for which goods of the same type are normally used, different from the description published on the site or that do not manifest the promised qualities, the provisions on Legal Warranty apply as provided for in Art. 128 et seq. of Legislative Decree 205/2006 (Consumer Code).
11.2 Excluded from the scope of application of the Legal Warranty are any failures or malfunctions caused by accidental events or by the Customer's responsibility or by a use of the Product that does not comply with its intended use and/or with what is provided in the technical documentation attached to the Product.
11.3 Pimax shall be liable when the lack of conformity becomes apparent within a period of two years from delivery of the Product, unless there is a conventional warranty beyond that period.
11.4 Consumer Customer shall report the defect or defect to Pimax within two months of discovery (unless Pimax has acknowledged or concealed the existence of the defect).
11.5 An action to enforce defects not maliciously concealed by the seller shall be time-barred within the term of twenty-six months from delivery of the goods (however, the Consumer Customer who is sued for the performance of the contract may always enforce the rights under this Article provided that the lack of conformity is reported within two months of discovery and before the expiration of two years from delivery).
11.6 In the event of a lack of conformity, the Consumer-Customer may request, without charge (including shipping costs), restoration by repair or replacement, at his or her option, unless remedy is objectively impossible or excessively burdensome compared to the other.
11.7 The above remedy shall be deemed excessively onerous if it imposes unreasonable expenses on Pimax in comparison with the other, taking into account: a) the value the Product would have if there were no conformity defect; b) the extent of the conformity defect; c) whether the alternative remedy can be pursued without significant inconvenience to the Consumer Customer.
11.8 Replacements shall be carried out within a reasonable period of time from the request and shall not cause significant inconvenience to the Consumer Customer, taking into account the nature of the Product and the purpose for which it was purchased.
11.9 The Consumer may request, at his or her option, an appropriate reduction in the price or termination of the contract where any of the following situations occur:
- replacement is impossible or excessively costly;
- Pimax did not provide replacement within a reasonable time;
- the substitution previously made caused significant inconvenience to the Consumer Customer.
11.10 After notification of the lack of conformity, the Seller may offer the Consumer Customer any other available remedy, with the following effects:
- where the Consumer Customer has already requested a specific remedy, the seller remains obliged to implement it, with the necessary consequences as to the commencement of the reasonable period for repairs or replacements, unless the Consumer Customer accepts the proposed alternative remedy;
- where the Consumer-Client has not already requested a specific remedy, the Consumer-Client must accept the proposal or reject it by choosing another remedy under this Article.
A minor conformity defect, for which it has not been possible or is excessively burdensome to exhaust the remedy of replacement, does not entitle to termination of the contract.
11.11 The legal warranty is limited to purchases made by Consumer Customers. With regard to Professional Customers, the provisions of the Civil Code in Articles 1490 et seq. shall apply.
12. COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPLAINTS
12.1 Any communication regarding T&Cs should be sent by e-mail to the following e-mail address shop@retrosupremo.com

12.3 Pursuant to Article 141-sexies, paragraph 3, of the Consumer Code, Pimax informs the Consumer Customer that, in the event that the latter has submitted a complaint directly to Pimax as a result of which it has not been possible to resolve the dispute thus arising, Pimax will provide information regarding the alternative dispute resolution body or bodies for the out-of-court settlement of disputes relating to obligations arising from a contract concluded pursuant to the T&Cs (cc. d. ADR bodies, as referred to in Articles 141-bis et seq. of the Consumer Code), specifying whether or not it intends to use such bodies to resolve the dispute.
12.4 Pimax also informs the Consumer Customer that a European platform for online consumer dispute resolution (so-called ODR platform) has been established. The ODR platform can be accessed at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/; through the ODR platform the Consumer Customer will be able to consult the list of ADR entities, find the link to the site of each of them and initiate an online dispute resolution procedure for the disputes in which it is involved.
12.5 In any case, the Consumer Customer's right to bring disputes arising from the T&Cs before the ordinary court of competent jurisdiction remains unaffected, whatever the outcome of the out-of-court settlement of disputes relating to consumer relations through recourse to the procedures set forth in Part V, Title II-bis Consumer Code.
12.6 The Consumer Customer residing in a Member State of the European Union other than Italy may also have access, for any dispute relating to the application, execution and interpretation of the T&Cs, to the European Small Claims Procedure established by Council Regulation (EC) No. 861/2007 of July 11, 2007, provided that the value of the dispute does not exceed, excluding interest, fees and expenses, 2,000.00 Euro.
