1. General Terms and Conditions of Sale

1.1 The following General Terms and Conditions apply to all services offered by Longho on the Site and to the purchase of all products offered on the Site to consumers, who are physical persons acting on personal behalf and not in relation to their professional activity.

1.2 The General Terms and Conditions are those effective at the time of the order of any product by the Customer. The Customer acknowledges that the continued use of the website after the date of effectiveness of any notification of change will prove the Customer’'s willingness to accept the General Terms and Conditions of Sale as amended time after time.

1.3 The Conditions applicable to every single order will be those exposed on the Site at the moment of the order. Any new Conditions will be effective only after being published on the Site and will only be applied to the purchases concluded after the date of their publication. The order sent by the Customer has the value of a contractual proposal and the Customer explicitly states the full acceptance of the present General Conditions of Sale. As an alternative to the purchase on the website, it is possible to proceed with the purchase through private negotiation using a proforma countersigned by the final customer, which will be provided via email.

2. Object of the contract

2.1  With the present General Conditions of Sale, Longho sells to the customer, who buys online, the goods indicated and offered for sale in the catalogue of the products present on the Site.

2.2 The catalogue of the products marketed by Longho includes a specific section “in stock” relating to goods currently put on display in its showrooms, that may therefore be missing packaging and will be offered at discounted prices compared to the equivalent new product. When offering these products Longho will explicitly state that the goods on sale come from display and will therefore be offered at a discounted price. On the internet site longhoshop.com, the section dedicated to the products coming from display will include photographs and description of each product on display. The presence of the discount and the statement that the goods come from display relieve Longho from any type of dispute from the Customer.

3. Proposal and acceptance of the contract

3.1. The order sent by the Customer has the value of a contractual proposal and with it the Customer also explicitly states the full acceptance of the present General Conditions of Sale.

The Customer undertakes to view the present General Conditions of Sale before proceeding to confirm the order of purchase.

3.2 The contract is concluded exclusively via the internet, through access to the above-mentioned Site and the creation of a purchase order following the procedure provided by the same Site.

4.  Account (Account Registration, Account Cancellation and User Account Termination). 

4.1  In order to use the service, the Customer can create an Account, providing all the requested data and information in a complete and truthful manner. For this purpose, the Customer will choose a password corresponding to the highest possible level of security. It is the Customer’s responsibility to keep all login credentials safe and protect their confidentiality. Creating an account, the Customer accepts to be fully responsible for any activity carried out with their login credentials.

4.2 The Customer is required to immediately and unequivocally inform Longho using the contact details provided in this document if s/he believes that their personal information (such as for example the User Account, the login credentials or any personal data) may have been violated, unduly disclosed or stolen. The Customer is free to terminate their account and stop using the service at any time, informing Longho through the contact details provided in the present conditions.

4.3 Longho reserves the right to suspend or cancel the account of a customer at any time, at their discretion and without notice if they think it is being used inappropriately, offensively or in ways contrary to the present conditions. The suspension or cancellation of the account doesn’t give the Customer any right to compensation or reimbursement. Moreover, the suspension or cancellation of an account for reasons attributable to the Customer does not exempt the latter from paying the amounts and prices anyway due.

5. Pre-contractual information

5.1 Prior to the conclusion of the purchase contract the Customer will examine the features and details of the selected goods, that are described in the single product card (specific schedule).

5.2 Before validating the order with “payment obligation” the Customer is informed about:

  • terms and conditions of sale;

  • total price including taxes where applicable, with specification of the shipping costs and any other charge;

  • terms of payment;

  • conditions, terms and procedure for exercising the right of withdrawal and related forms, including the information that the customer will have to bear the costs of return in case of withdrawal;

  • possible personalised nature of the purchased good;

  • existence of the manufacturer’s warranty for the purchased goods.

5.3 Longho might offer discounts and special promotions for the purchase of products: such promotions or discounts are always subject to requisites and terms and conditions provided in the relevant section of the portal and always granted at discretion. Repeated or periodical promotions and discounts do not represent any claim or future right legally enforceable by customers. In case Longho wants to apply a discount, the latter will clearly highlight the lowest price in the last 30 days, with the wording “from … to”, thus indicating the price before the discount for a given time prior to the reduction.

6. Conclusion and effectiveness of the contract

When placing the order, the Customer will be asked to specify any obstacles to the delivery through the normal access routes (stairs, lift, doors) and remind them to the carrier.

9.2 Orders shipped outside the European Union may be subject to import duties. The Customer will be fully responsible for the payment of any applicable import duties directly to the competent authority, as determined by the authorities of the country of destination, and neither Longho nor their logistics partner can be held responsible in relation to that. In case of non-payment of the import charges without a valid reason, resulting in liability obligation for Longho, their logistics partner or the carrier, Longho reserves the right to deduct the amount of the import charges from whatever refund or other sum that can possibly be required, to the extent permitted by the applicable law. Where failure to pay results in the return of the products, or the necessity to return them, Longho may charge the Customer for the return costs and any other costs due to the missed payment, and refuse to refund the delivery fees paid by the Customer, to the extent permitted by the law.

10. Delivery of the Products

10.4 The purchased products are delivered on working days within the deadline specified by Longho when the order was confirmed, such a deadline is however indicative and may undergo variations.

If the delivery deadline is not specified, the delivery will be carried out within 90 days, starting from the first day following the order confirmation.

10.5 Delivery to the Customer is considered completed when the Product is made available to the Customer at the address indicated in the order form.

10.6 The Customer (or their delegate) is required to verify the following upon delivery:

  • the exact number of items (the delivered items must correspond to the number specified in the delivery note);

  • that the packaging and its seals haven’t been damaged or altered.

The Customer must report any signs of tampering or alteration of the packaging on the appropriate form provided by the carrier (Proof of Delivery, which must be signed by the Customer); if tampering or alterations were not fully reported upon delivery as specified above the Customer will have no right for compensation. If no anomaly or irregularity was reported on the Proof of Delivery, the Customer will not be able to claim reimbursement or substitution of the Products.

10.8 Longho cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage, incorrect or failed delivery due to unforeseeable circumstances or force majeure, such as for example adverse weather conditions, strikes (in the company or elsewhere), accidents, pandemics, and any other similar or different cause.

11. Right of withdrawal

11.1 In conformity with article 52 of the Legislative Decree number 206 issued on 6th September 2005 (Consumer Code), the Customer has the right to withdraw from the contract signed with Longho without any penalty, and with no obligation to provide any reason or explanation, within 14 days after receiving the purchased products. In conformity with article 54 of the Consumer Code, the Customer may withdraw from the contract signed with Longho by sending an email to the following address: helpdesk@longhoshop.com. Alternatively, the Customer can complete the withdrawal form reproduced in the model below and send it to the above-mentioned address helpdesk@longhoshop.com.

“ I hereby give notice that I intend to withdraw from my contract for the purchase of the product/s specified below concluded with your Company:

Name of the product/s: ……..

Ordered on ….. Received on …

Name and address of the Customer …………….

Customer’s signature

………………………………..”

11.2 The product/s to be returned will be collected at the address indicated by the Customer. Longho will provide the contact details of a carrier and the Customer will agree with the carrier the date and modalities of the collection.

11.3 The costs of the return, i.e. those related to the return of the goods, will be borne by the Customer and are variable as indicated in the summary reported below. In any case, the costs of any return will be made known to the Customer at the time of purchase, and will not exceed the amount incurred for shipping the product, increased by 30%. These costs will be charged to the customer upon delivery of the goods to the courier pursuant to art. 1510 c.c. comma 2.

11.4 Alternatively, the Customer may prefer a carrier of their own choice, bearing all the related costs, and will send the product/s to be returned to the address indicated by Longho.

In this case, Longho declines all responsibility for any loss, damages due to inappropriate packaging, or delay in the return delivery.

11.5 Pursuant to article 59 of the Legislative Decree number 206 issued on September 6th 2006 (Consumer Code), the right of withdrawal doesn’t apply to tailor-made or customised products, and to goods that cannot be returned due to their structure or nature, which would expose them to deterioration or damage. When a product on sale falls into one of the cases described in the above-mentioned article 59, the Site will specify that the right of withdrawal is not applicable with the sentence “Right of withdrawal not applicable” in the product sheet/card under “Description”. Longho invites the Customer to check carefully whether this writing is present in the product sheet.

11.6 Pursuant to articles 52 and following of the above-mentioned Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal is considered to be exercised correctly where the following conditions are respected:

  1. the right of withdrawal must be regularly exercised within fourteen (14) days after the product/s delivery, following one of the modalities specified above;

  2. the products haven’t been used;

  3. the goods must be returned in their original packaging which is an integral part of the products; if there is a set of products all the items must be returned;

  4. the products must not be damaged.

If the right of withdrawal is exercised according to all the terms and modalities specified above, Longho will send the Customer an email confirming acceptance of the products correctly returned and will proceed to the full reimbursement of any sums already paid by the Customer for the purchase, following the established methods and terms. Longho is not required to reimburse any additional costs due to the choice of the Customer to use a different and more expensive type of delivery.

11.7 The Customer will be contacted by Longho if the returned product/s cannot be accepted due to lack of conformity with the conditions reported in the paragraphs above or because they fall into one of the hypotheses mentioned in article 59 of the Consumer Code. In such cases the Customer may choose to have the purchased product/s sent back to their address at their own expense. If the Customer refuses to pay for the new delivery costs Longho reserves the right to retain the products and the sum corresponding to their purchase price.

11.8 After receiving the returned goods and having checked that all the requirements have been met, Longho will send the Customer an email confirming acceptance of the returned products and will proceed to the reimbursement, which will be activated in the shortest time possible, and anyway within fourteen (14) days after the confirmation of the Customer’s actual right of withdrawal and acceptance of the returned goods by Longho. The time required for the crediting or refund of the sums paid by the Customer for the purchase of the returned products will depend on the payment methods used.
