Clause 1 - Scope of Application

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (the “General Conditions”) describe the terms and conditions of sale between Damiani S.p.A., data controller of the website www.rocca1794.com/en_eu (the ‘’Website‘’), and the person considering purchasing, for their personal use and not for business purposes (the ‘’Customer‘’), the products available in the area of the Website reserved for this purpose (the ‘’Products‘’ or “Product”).

The Seller is: Damiani S.p.A., taxpayer code and VAT No. 01457570065, with registered office at Piazza Damiano Grassi Damiani No. 1 in Valenza (AL), which uses the “ROCCA 1794” trademark and name on the Website (also “ROCCA”).

The Customer is: an end user who has reached the age of 18 and is a resident in the countries in which the Website is available for online sales.

These General Conditions concern the distance selling of Products to consumers via the Internet, governed specifically by Legislative Decree No. 206/2005 (the “Italian Consumer Code”) and by Legislative Decree No. 70/2003. 

These General Conditions may be updated periodically, and therefore the conditions that apply are those in force when the order is placed on the Website. 

By placing an order, the Customer expressly accepts these General Conditions, declares that they have read them and accepts their provisions. 

Under no circumstances may the Seller be construed as obligated to comply with conditions sent by the Customer or otherwise different from those published on the Website. It should be noted that prices, Products and their characteristics on the Website are subject to change without notice.

 

Clause 2 - Entering into and performing the sales agreement

To purchase, the Customer must access the appropriate area reserved for this purpose, choose the Product to be purchased and then place it in the appropriate “Shopping Cart” on the Website where the characteristics of the Products, price and applicable VAT, shipping costs and expected delivery times will be displayed. Access to the Website, any registration as well as the use of the e-commerce service are totally free of charge, the Customer being solely responsible for the costs and charges for the equipment and computer connections necessary to use the e-commerce services.

The order is sent after the shipment data and payment details required by the authorised partner have been entered in the appropriate section. These details can be changed until the ‘’Buy‘’ button is selected. Payment will be made via the payment method selected by the Customer and the charge will normally be made within the time period indicated by the payment service used. By sending the order, the Customer expressly consents to the Seller’s use of their email, telephone number and address details to enter into and perform the sales agreement.

The Seller will send the Customer an order confirmation email containing the information and essential elements of the sales agreement, which the Seller will store online together with the Customer's order. The Customer may request a copy by sending an email to contact@rocca1794.com.

The sales agreement for the Product is completed when the Seller receives payment of the price from the Customer.

The Customer is responsible for the truthfulness of their data provided when entering into the sales agreement. The Customer undertakes to promptly notify ROCCA of any changes to their personal data provided in the sales agreement by sending a communication to the Seller.

This sales agreement is only valid if the Product is available. In the event that the Product is no longer available, the Seller shall notify the Customer within 20 days of receipt of the order and reserves the right to terminate the sales agreement, returning to the Customer the full price paid, without any further liability or charge whatsoever to the Seller.

 

Clause 3 - Pre-owned timepieces

These General Conditions also apply to the sale of pre-owned timepieces on the Website. 

Timepieces previously sold to an end customer and subsequently re-sold on the market are considered pre-owned watches. These watches are received by the Seller, which purchases them exclusively under the following conditions:

-                By necessity, the watch must have a lawful provenance. Therefore, anyone selling a pre-owned watch to ROCCA must necessarily include documentation proving its lawful provenance.

-                Before completing the purchase, ROCCA thoroughly inspects the watch at the Seller's in-house service centre or at the manufacturer of the watch concerned.

 

The Customer, by purchasing a pre-owned watch, declares that they are doing so for personal use and not to resell the Product. In the case of reasonable and legitimate doubt, the Seller reserves the right not to process the purchase order. 

 

In addition to the provisions of Clause 2 above, when purchasing a pre-owned watch, the Customer is required to send the Seller a copy of their valid identity document and taxpayer code by email to comply with tax regulations as well as the obligations under Legislative Decree No. 231/2007.

 

Failure to provide the abovementioned documentation or, in all cases, if the Seller does not receive them, the order for the pre-owned watch cannot be processed.

 

Clause 4 - Delivery of Products

ROCCA delivers the Product to the Customer according to the delivery schedule specified on the Website and at the address indicated by the Customer.

Delivery costs are charged to the Customer and the relative price is detailed in the quotation published on the Website and stated in the order and in the order confirmation.

The Product is shipped and delivered according to the procedures and schedule indicated on the Website. If no indication is given, delivery will be made within thirty (30) days following the order confirmation date.

The Product will be delivered to the place indicated by the Customer for delivery and the Customer is responsible for receiving the Product and arranging for delivery as specified in the order. If there are grounds for refusing to accept delivery of the Product, the Seller shall be entitled to terminate the sales agreement, without prejudice to compensation for damages suffered (including any costs for shipping and storage of the Products).

At the time of delivery, the Customer is responsible for checking the type, quantity, quality and integrity of the Products received. If the Product does not comply with the order, if the packaging is not intact and/or is damaged, and after carrying out the necessary checks using ordinary diligence, the Customer must immediately notify the shipping company of any defects or discrepancies regarding the order, requesting a written notation on the delivery note.

When purchasing pre-owned timepieces, the Seller will point out any minor defects (such as small scratches) on the product sheet of these watches on the Website and, by placing the order, the Customer acknowledges this.

 

Clause 5 - Price

The final purchase price includes VAT, delivery charges and any fees incurred by using the means of payment chosen by the Customer.

The Customer agrees to pay ROCCA using the payment method made available on the Website. Products will only be delivered after payment has been made.

 

Clause 6 - Warranty and Seller's Limitation of Liability

The Customer shall notify the Seller by registered letter with return receipt or certified PEC email of any lack of conformity of the Product, within the final time limit of two months from the date of such discovery. The Seller is liable under the law when the lack of conformity becomes apparent within a two-year period after delivery. In all cases, claims for defects that the Seller did not intentionally conceal shall be statute-barred after a period of twenty-six (26) months from delivery of the goods.

This warranty is valid on condition that the Products are used correctly, in accordance with their relevant instructions for use and recommendations, and upon presentation by the Customer of the delivery documentation and/or order. Notwithstanding the mandatory limitations provided for by law, ROCCA does not offer any guarantee or declaration of conformity of the Products beyond what is expressly stated on the Website, including the conformity of the Products with technical requirements, quality or standards of any kind, for specific or particular purposes.

 

Clause 7 - Pre-owned timepiece warranty

Each pre-owned timepiece resold by ROCCA is accompanied by a warranty certifying the authenticity of the watch and guaranteeing its proper functioning, according to the provisions of the warranty, valid for two (2) years from the date of purchase.

The Customer acknowledges when placing the order that the purchased watch is a pre-owned watch and that they have checked its condition and are satisfied with it.

 

Clause 8 - Customer's right to cancel

The Customer has a discretionary right to cancel the sales agreement, without penalty and without specifying a reason, within a period of fourteen (14) days from the delivery date of the Products, in accordance with current legislation.

The Customer may exercise this right by following the appropriate procedure provided on the Website in the area reserved for this purpose and following the relevant instructions, or by using the cancellation form provided on the Website.

In the event of exercising their cancellation right, the Products shall be returned to the Seller's premises, as indicated for this purpose, in their original condition, complete with all their parts, accessories, documentation and with their packaging, which must be kept intact as far as possible.

The Customer shall bear all costs to return the Products and will be notified of these costs in advance and shall be responsible for the Products until they are returned to ROCCA.

Within the fourteen (14) days following the return of the Products, the Seller shall refund the purchase price to the Customer, net of the redelivery costs indicated above.

Unless otherwise agreed between the parties and except in the cases provided for by law (Article 59 of the Italian Consumer Code), the Customer may not exercise their cancellation right for goods that have been tailored to their specifications, are clearly personalised or that, by their nature, cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate and/or alter rapidly. The right to cancel is also excluded if the Product has been handled in a manner other than what is strictly necessary to establish its type, characteristics and functioning.

 

Clause 9 - Notices

For the purposes of this sales agreement, any communication that is made using digital media and that allows a record of its contents to be kept in a durable form (such as, for example, email messages and html pages) shall be construed as being made in writing.

 

Clause 10 - Retention of the sales agreement

The sales agreement and the relevant order documents shall be stored, retained and archived by the Seller at its premises, to fulfil the requirements necessary to perform the sales agreement, as well as to carry out the related fulfilments and requirements imposed by law, in accordance with the Italian Personal Data Protection Code (Legislative Decree No. 196/2003) and Regulation (EU) No. 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 (the “GDPR”).

The Customer may ask to have access to and inspect such documents, after a written request is sent to the Seller at least seven (7) business days prior thereto by registered mail with return receipt. The Customer may request to receive an electronic and/or hard copy of the sales agreement against payment of the copying cost and the cost for the support provided.

However, the Customer is advised to store, keep and archive an electronic or paper copy of the sales agreement for their purposes.

 

Clause 11 - Processing of personal data
