The right of withdrawal can be exercised by a client that is also a consumer (the Consumer Code, Legislative decree no. 206/05, arts. 50 to 68, which governs distance contracts, stipulated away from business premises, grants the right of withdrawal, i.e. the possibility for the consumer to return the product bought and obtain the restitution of the relevant cost). This is a natural person that wishes to buy the goods for purposes not related to their own professional activity, or does not indicate a reference VAT number in the order form for the purchaser. In our site, however, this indication is mandatory, as the possibility to buy through the Site is reserved for businesses, enterprises, business operators and professionals, who must therefore have a VAT registration number (B2B, business-to-business commercial transactions), and who have registered on the site and have obtained a password for reserved access.
This right is exclusively reserved for consumers (natural persons, who buy goods for purposes not related to their professional, commercial or business activity); therefore, it cannot be exercised by legal persons, or by natural persons acting for purposes linked to the professional activity carried out, if any.

By selecting the “CORRECT” box in this contract, the registered Client/User declares that they have been informed and warned about these potential risks. No compensation may be requested for direct and/or indirect damages caused by the use or failure to use the service.

THE SITE PROVIDES NO WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR SUITABILITY FOR A SPECIFIC USE, OR FREEDOM FROM INFRINGEMENT OF ANY COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, OR OF ANY SERVICE OR WORK OR OTHER MATERIALS, NOR ARE THE CONTENTS WARRANTED free from viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other hostile, disruptive and/or destructive codes.

In all other cases, the sole territorial jurisdiction lies with the Court of Modena, where the company Studio Service S.r.l. has its registered office
