4) METHOD OF PAYMENT AND REIMBURSEMENT
The Seller accepts advance payment for the products ordered by means of the main Credit Cards (Mastercard and Visa circuits) and PayPal. The credit card data are managed directly by Wirecard or other banks, specialised in the management of on-line payments; PayPal data are managed directly by PayPal. The information is encrypted using the latest generation of encryption systems that prevent it from being used by third parties and is not shared with the Seller, but is sent directly to the bank or PayPal.
The Seller reserves the right to request the bank issuing the credit card (or PayPal) to verify the genuineness of the ownership of the card itself in the event of problems. At the end of this verification, in the event of a positive outcome, we shall proceed with the procedure to conclude the contract and the delivery of the order placed, if there are no further obstacles.
Any reimbursement to the Purchaser, if the latter is entitled to it, will be made using the same payment method used to pay for the purchase order. In the event of non-acceptance of the order, the Seller shall refund the Purchaser, as soon as possible, all sums paid, it being understood that refunds shall be processed in the time and manner provided by the manager of the payment instrument used. In the event of withdrawal, the refund shall be credited within 14 (fourteen) days from the date of communication of the withdrawal; the refund time following withdrawal may be longer in the event that any duties to be borne by the Buyer must be deducted from the refund as better specified in art.14 below. (check withdrawal art)
It should be noted that in the case of online sales, pursuant to Article 22 of Presidential Decree No. 633 of 26/10/1972 and Article 2, letter oo) of Presidential Decree No. 696 of 21 December 1996 (as confirmed by Resolution No. 274/E of 5 November 2009), the Seller is not required to issue an invoice (nor a receipt) to the consumer purchaser. However, the Purchaser may request the Seller to issue a fiscal invoice, if he so wishes, during the purchase procedure. In this case, the Seller shall send the requested invoice to the e-mail address indicated during registration or purchase as "guest". If the invoice is not requested during the purchase procedure, it cannot in any case be requested and issued afterwards. If the purchaser does not request the issuance of an invoice, the Seller shall in any case send a purchase receipt both in digital form to the e-mail address indicated during registration and in hard copy inside the shipping package. This receipt has no fiscal validity and is only useful for assistance or warranty purposes.
The invoice is issued on the basis of the information provided by the purchaser when placing the order. After the invoice has been issued, it will not be possible to modify the data indicated, so we invite the purchaser to carefully check the data entered before sending the order.
In accordance with our company policy and as required by Directive 2014/55/EU, no tax invoices will be issued for countries belonging to the European Commission.
5) SHIPPING AND DELIVERY COSTS DELIVERY TIMES AND METHODS
Shipping costs vary depending on the destination countries and shipping methods chosen and will be calculated and indicated in the purchase process prior to Buyer's submission of the order, as well as shown on the web page summarizing the order placed.
Order processing times may vary from the day the order is placed to a maximum of 5 working days, within which time the order is accepted, execution of the order begins and the invoice is issued.
The Supplier and the Seller shall ensure - via the telematics system used - that orders are processed and fulfilled within the timeframe specified in the purchase.
Delivery times are in any case not binding, as they may vary depending on the country of destination, on the management and organisational timing of order processing, as well as on factors not directly controllable by the Seller and not attributable to it; the Buyer declares to be informed of and to accept these circumstances.
In the event that the Seller is not able to dispatch the goods within the terms specified in the purchase phase, it will promptly notify the Purchaser by e-mail, indicating the term within which the order will be processed.
6) SHIPPING AND DELIVERY COSTS
The Seller ships goods all over the world except to China. Shipping costs vary depending on the destination countries and shipping methods chosen and will be calculated and indicated in the purchase procedure before the Purchaser submits the order, as well as shown on the web page summarising the order placed.
The goods are shipped DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) to EU countries, meaning that in these destinations the goods will arrive directly at the indicated delivery location without having to pay any additional amount over and above what has already been paid when the order is placed and sent.
For all other countries DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) is used, so the courier may come with a separate invoice requesting payment of duties and taxes required by local authorities. Buyers residing in non-EU countries are advised to enquire about local taxes and duties before placing an order with the Seller.
Local taxes and customs duties are always borne by the Buyer, both at the time of purchase and in case of withdrawal.
7) DELIVERY
At the time of delivery, the Purchaser must check that the number of packages corresponds to that resulting from the transport documents and that the packaging is intact and without signs of damage, tampering or alteration. If this check is unsuccessful, the Purchaser shall immediately make the appropriate complaints to the courier, refusing the delivery or accepting it with a written reservation on the transport document. Failing this, once the courier's document has been signed, the Buyer may not object to the external characteristics of the goods delivered. Furthermore, the Purchaser must inform the Seller of the incident by contacting Customer Service at the following e-mail address customerservice@oxs-shoes.it, no later than 8 (eight) days from the date of delivery of the product, to report any problems concerning the physical integrity, correspondence or completeness of the products received.

11) LEGAL GUARANTEE, RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTS, PROOF OF DAMAGE AND REFUNDABLE DAMAGES: OBLIGATIONS OF THE SUPPLIER
Goods sold through the site to the Purchaser (consumer) are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity provided for by articles 128 et seq. of the Consumer Code ("Legal Guarantee"). In order to benefit from the guarantee, the Purchaser must keep and present the invoice (or the purchase receipt or delivery note) he will receive at the time of delivery.
The Legal Warranty may be requested for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the goods, provided that the lack of conformity became apparent within the term of 2 (two) years from delivery. The Purchaser must report the lack of conformity by contacting Customer Service at the e-mail address indicated in Article 12; the report must contain: the order number; the date of shipment and delivery of the goods (date of the shipping note); an accurate and complete description of the defects or faults complained of; photographs of the non-conforming goods with details of the fault; the name and contact details of the person to contact for any communications. The Customer Service will reply to the Purchaser's communication, giving him, if necessary, instructions for shipping the defective goods.
The "lack of conformity", by express provision of law, exists when the purchased goods:
- is not suitable for the use for which goods of the same type are normally used;
- does not conform to the description made by the Supplier and does not possess the qualities of the good that the Supplier has presented to the consumer as a sample or model;
- does not have the usual qualities and performance of goods of the same type, taking into account also claims made in advertising or on labelling;
- is not suitable for the particular use intended by the consumer if brought to the attention of the Supplier and/or Seller at the time of purchase.
The Supplier reserves the right to verify the validity of the claims at its premises or by examining the photographs attached to the complaint email. The Supplier shall bear the shipping costs for collecting the defective goods.
The Purchaser may, at its discretion, request that the goods be repaired or replaced, without charge, unless the remedy chosen is objectively impossible or excessively onerous compared to the other, taking into account all the circumstances and, in particular, those listed in Article 135-bis, paragraph 2, of the Consumer Code.
The Supplier may refuse to bring the goods into conformity by repair and replacement if repair and replacement are impossible or if the costs that the Supplier would have to bear are disproportionate, taking into account all the circumstances, including those referred to in Article 135-bis (2) a) and b) of the Consumer Code.
The Purchaser may, at his discretion, demand an appropriate reduction in the price or termination of the Contract if one of the following situations occurs: (i) the Supplier has not carried out the repair or replacement or has not carried out the repair or replacement, where possible, pursuant to Article 135-ter, paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of the Consumer Code or has refused to bring the goods into conformity; (ii) a lack of conformity becomes apparent despite the Supplier's attempt to restore the conformity of the goods; (iii) the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify the immediate reduction of the price or termination of the contract of sale; (iv) the Supplier has declared or it is clear from the circumstances that he will not restore the conformity of the goods within a reasonable period or without significant inconvenience to the consumer Customer.
The Purchaser shall not be entitled to terminate the contract if the lack of conformity is minor.
If, after taking back the goods, the conformity defect reported is found to exist, any transport, repair or replacement costs shall be borne by the Supplier. If this is not the case, i.e. if it is found that the conformity defect reported does not exist or that the conditions for the applicability of the Legal Warranty do not exist, the Legal Warranty shall not apply and all transport costs and costs associated with the verification of the alleged conformity defect shall be borne by the Purchaser, who shall be notified thereof.
The Buyer acknowledges and accepts that defects or damage occurring after delivery of the goods, such as those caused by improper use by the Buyer or third parties, are not covered by the Legal Warranty.
The Supplier and the Seller shall not be liable for the consequences of a defective product if the defect is due to the product's compliance with a mandatory legal norm or binding measure, or if the state of scientific and technical knowledge at the time the manufacturer put the product into circulation did not yet allow the product to be considered defective. No compensation shall be due if the aggrieved party was aware of the product's defect and of the danger arising therefrom and nevertheless voluntarily exposed itself to it. In any event, the aggrieved party must prove the defect, the damage and the causal connection between the defect and the damage. The aggrieved party may seek compensation for damages caused by death or personal injury or by the destruction or deterioration of a thing other than the defective product, provided that it is of a kind normally intended for private use or consumption and so principally used by the aggrieved party. However, damage to items referred to in article 123 of the Consumer Code shall only be indemnifiable to the extent that it exceeds the sum of three hundred and eighty-seven euros (387 euros).

Such refunds shall be made using the same means of payment used by the Buyer for the initial transaction. Refund times may be longer if any local taxes and/or customs duties payable by the Buyer are to be deducted from the refund.
Unless the Seller has offered to collect the goods to which the Purchaser has exercised his right of withdrawal, the Purchaser shall return or deliver the goods to the Seller without undue delay and in any event within 14 (fourteen) days from the day on which he has notified the Seller of his wish to withdraw from the Contract. The deadline shall be deemed to have been met if the Buyer returns the goods before the expiry of the 14 (fourteen) day period to the following address: Docksteps Factory Store - Zeis Excelsa Spa - Via Alpi, 126 - 63812 Fermo (FM) - Italy.

(Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna signed in Washington in 1973) certification, delivered outside the territory of the European Union, can only be returned if accompanied by the certificate issued by the competent body.

Unless the Seller has offered to collect the goods himself, the Seller may suspend reimbursement of the price of the goods until receipt of the goods or until the Buyer has demonstrated that he has returned the goods, whichever is sooner.
