The usual delivery time is 5-7 working days from receipt of the order confirmation. Since the goods are prepared and entrusted to the courier within 2 working days from the order confirmation, after this period of time it will no longer be possible to make changes to the order.

8.3 In case of non-delivery due to the absence of the recipient or in the event that the Customer expressly refuses the delivery of the Products ordered, the Purchase Contract will be considered terminated pursuant to art. 1456 cc: he/she will be charged the entire cost and the customer will have to place a new order.

10) Right of withdrawal

10.1 Pursuant to art. 52 and ss. of the Consumer Code, the Customer has the right to withdraw from the Product Purchase Agreement without incurring in costs other than the direct ones for returning the goods. The Customer will not need to provide any reasons for said withdrawal, as long as this occurs within the limits of the Withdrawal Period. The Withdrawal Period expires after 14 calendar days from the day on which the Customer or a third party designated by the Customer acquires physical possession of the Products.
The Consumer Code limits the right of withdrawal for those goods that are either (i) likely to deteriorate or expire rapidly or, (ii) sealed and opened after delivery, therefore not suitable to be returned for hygienic reasons. Since the Products sold by POOLITO SRL SB may fall into the categories indicated above, POOLITO SRL SB will assess and decide on the legitimacy of the Customer's right to ask for a withdrawal.
In such cases, whenever the right of withdrawal cannot be applied in accordance with the relevant regulations, POOLITO SRL SB will notify the Customer within 7 working days of receipt of the Product, rejecting the request for a return. The Customer will therefore not have the right to a refund and the Product will remain at his disposal for collection, which must be done at the Customer's own expense.

10.2 To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer must inform POOLITO SRL SB of his/her decision by sending an email to info@poolito.com before the expiration of the Withdrawal Period. In this communication, the Customer must indicate the order number, the Product(s) he/she intends to return and his/her address.

10.3 Following this communication, the Customer must proceed with the return of the goods without undue delay and in any case within 14 calendar days from the communication date. In this regard, the shipping date will attest to the return.
The Customer must return the Product to POOLITO SRL SB using a carrier of his/her choice. The shipping costs for returning the Products will be paid by the Customer.

10.4 The reimbursement recognized by POOLITO SRL SB in favour of the Customer in case of legitimate exercise of the right of withdrawal will be equal to the purchase price of the Product(s) plus the shipping costs. It will take place without undue delay and within 14 days from the date on which the Customer informed POOLITO of the decision to withdraw from the contract. The refund will be made via the same payment method used by the Customer at the time of the order.

10.5 The Customer is responsible for any decrease in the value of the goods resulting from the handling of the Product other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Product. In the event of withdrawal, the refund amount will be reduced by an amount equal to Product's decrease in value. POOLITO SRL SB will notify the Customer by e-mail of the circumstance and the consequent reduced refund amount within 7 working days of receiving the Product.

11) Legal warranty of conformity

11.1 All Products ordered on the Site are covered by the legal warranty of conformity provided for in Articles. 128-135 of the Consumer Code ("Legal Warranty"). In case of Products that do not comply with the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to articles 129 and ss. of the Consumer Code, the Customer loses all rights if he/she does not report the non-compliance to POOLITO SRL SB within 2 months from the date on which the defect was discovered. The report is not necessary if the seller has acknowledged the existence of the defect or has concealed it.

11.2 In any case, unless proven otherwise, it is assumed that the non-compliance that occurs within 6 months of delivery of the Product (s) already existed on that date, unless this is incompatible with the nature of the Product or with the nature of the non-compliance.

11.3 In the event of a non-compliance, the Customer may request, alternatively and without charge under the conditions indicated below, (i) the repair or replacement of the Product, or (ii) a reduction in the price, or (iii) the termination of the Purchase Contract, unless the request is objectively impossible to satisfy or is excessively burdensome for POOLITO SRL SB pursuant to art. 130, paragraph 4 of the Consumer Code.

11.4 The request must be sent in writing to POOLITO SRL SB by registered letter with return receipt or to the pec address poolito@legalmail.it. POOLITO SRL SB will indicate its willingness to process the request, or the reasons that prevent it from doing so, within 7 working days of receipt. In the same communication, if the Customer's request has been accepted, POOLITO SRL SB must indicate the shipping or return methods of the Product(s) as well as the deadline for the return or replacement of the defective goods.

11.5 If (i) repair and replacement are impossible or excessively expensive, or (ii) POOLITO SRL SB has not repaired or replaced the Product/s within the term referred to in the previous point, or (iii) the replacement or repair previously carried out have caused significant inconvenience to the Customer, the latter may request, at his choice, an appropriate reduction in the price or the termination of the Purchase Agreement. In this case, the Customer must send his request to POOLITO SRL SB, which will indicate his willingness to proceed with it, or the reasons that prevent it from doing so, within 7 working days.

11.6 If the Customer's request has been accepted, in the same communication POOLITO SRL SB must indicate the proposed price reduction or the methods for returning the defective Product(s).
