TIME AND DELIVERY TERMS

All deliveries are covered by insurance guarantee and are carried out only by reliable carriers with a long experience as for furniture transport in order to afford high standard quality service and product integrity.
The delivery is always considered at street level and the Buyer must provide all necessary solutions to make the uploading as easy as possible. In order to organize the delivery of the goods, the Buyer will be contacted by phone and/or by email some days in advance. Carriers do not deliver the goods on higher floors and are not supposed to pick up the used items of the Buyer.
Upon delivery of the goods the Buyer shall immediately check the exact number of items (they correspond with the data indicated in the delivery note), their condition and integrity. In case of possible damages in the packaging, the Buyer must immediately notify this condition to the carrier by writing on the delivery note the words “received unchecked for damaged packaging”. Delivery costs can vary according to the volume of the goods and to the delivery destination; they are indicated in the cart. Any additional charge (for instance, pedestrian areas, lagoon areas, smaller islands, or everywhere the carrier cannot reach the destination) is immediately communicated to the Buyer.
The average time production and the delivery of the goods are indicated in the product sheet (and specified in the order confirmation), they can be considered as approximate, even if BertO s.r.l. will try to do his best to respect the delivery date. BertO s.r.l. refuses any responsibility in case of suppliers’ delays or as a result of force majeure outside the Seller’s control. For this reason the delivery of the goods foreseen during summer or winter holidays may undergo significant delays, which are in any case communicated by BertO s.r.l.
If the Buyer delays in accepting the delivery of the purchased items, he is obliged to pay, besides the agreed price for the purchase and the related interests, even the storage costs for an amount of € 10,00 for every single day of delay. In case of delay longer than 30 days and of failed payment of storage costs, BertO s.r.l. has the right, after written communication, to consider the contract as withdrawn; under this circumstance the Buyer must pay, as a penalty fee, an amount of 50% of the agreed total amount for the purchase, besides the consequent most great damage.

WARRANTY AND AFTER-SALE ASSISTANCE

All items sold and distributed by BertO s.r.l. are accompanied by the related fiscal invoice, whose issue date is binding as for warranty. For private Buyers (consumers) the duration of warranty is 24 months and it is applicable to lack of conformity, pursuant to D.Lgs. n. 206/2005 (Consumer code), while for Buyer with VAT number the duration of warranty is 12 months pursuant the Civil Code.
All items displayed in the BertO s.r.l. showrooms (outlet products) are excluded from the 24 months warranty, as they belong to the category “second-hand items”, for which the duration of warranty is 12 months by law for non aesthetical conformity defects. Warranty is applicable to products with lack of conformity as long as they are properly used according to their intended use and with attention paid to the maintenance indications. If the purchased items shall be non-complying, the Buyer must formally notify the lack of conformity according to the Consumer Code / Civil Code (depending on the type of customer) by supplying even the related images.
Warranty on lack of conformity does not include damages, breaks or malfunctioning caused by unattended instructions for use. Warranty does not include the services of transportation, checking, assembling and dismantling furnished by BertO s.r.l. specialized staff which are associated to the warranty. Therefore the Buyer is required to pay directly on site to the staff an amount of € 75,00 if he/she lives in the area of Milan, Monza and Brianza, Como, Lecco, Varese or in the city of Rome. In all other cases the Buyer commits to send, at his/her own expenses, by express carrier the item in question properly packed. BertO s.r.l. commits to check the causes of the indicated damage and then to inform the Buyer about it, and in an appropriate time, to replace the part or the entire item under warranty for lack of conformity. If the warranty is not applicable, BertO s.r.l. shall offer the Buyer a paid intervention in order to restore the proper use of the product; shall the Buyer accept the above mentioned service, he must pay the full amount due. Private Buyers are anyhow subject pursuant the Consumer Code Art 130.
