LEGAL WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY All products purchased carry a legal warranty. To the sale of the Products towards the Customer Società Agricola Allegretti S.R.L. Società Benefit applies the legal guarantee of conformity provided for in articles 128-135 of the Consumer Code. Società Agricola Allegretti S.R.L. Società Benefit is liable to the Customer for any lack of conformity of the products sold existing at the time of delivery of the same products and manifested within the term of two years from delivery, without prejudice to the shorter term of the date of the minimum term of preservation or expiration indicated on the product. The conformity defect must be reported by the Customer within the period of 2 months from the date he/she discovered the defect. Unless proven otherwise, conformity defects that become apparent within 6 months after delivery of the product are presumed to have existed on that date, unless such an assumption is inconsistent with the nature of the product (e.g., because it is perishable or because it is subject to a shorter expiration date) or with the nature of the conformity defect (e.g., due to slight deterioration resulting from wear and tear). In any case, damages and/or anomalies that have been procured by the Customer and do not result from a conformity defect are excluded from the legal warranty. In the cases referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Customer has the right to the restoration, without charge, of the conformity of the product by means of replacement, or to an appropriate price reduction or termination of the contract in accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Code. The report of any defects and non-conformities must be sent by the Customer to the contact details of Società Agricola Allegretti S.R.L. Società Benefit indicated in paragraph 13 or on the website, with an indication of the defect and/or non-conformity found, as well as the relevant documentation proving the date of purchase. Once such notification is received, the Società Agricola Allegretti S.R.L. Società Benefit will contact the Customer to make use of the legal warranty within a reasonable time, taking into account the type of product, nature of the defect and possibility of replacement.
