1. Seller and scope
These terms govern distance purchases on www.labarchettanelblu.it — La Barchetta nel Blu. Seller: Giosarda Srls, Via Lubiana 190, 09013 Carbonia (SU), Italy. VAT no. 04052430925; REA CA-359489. info@giosarda.it; certified email (PEC): giosardasrls@pec.it. Shop telephone: +39 388 431 7872. Website contact: Gioanata Artzedi. Consumers benefit from Italian Legislative Decree 206/2005 (Consumer Code); the relevant Civil Code rules apply to professional purchases. Mandatory consumer rights prevail over incompatible terms.
2. Products and pre-contract information
Product pages describe characteristics, availability, prices and restrictions. Images illustrate the goods; the stated characteristics govern without limiting the legal conformity guarantee. Items subject to age, use or possession requirements may be sold only within the applicable law, with any checks required for that category. Any applicable withdrawal exception must be disclosed before purchase and does not apply indiscriminately to diving equipment or clothing.
3. Prices, placing an order and the contract
Prices are in euros including applicable VAT. Delivery and other charges are shown separately before the order is placed. You can correct your details and basket before submitting the order using a button clearly indicating an obligation to pay. The contract is concluded when the seller sends its acceptance to the email address you supplied; an automatic receipt that expressly only acknowledges receipt is not acceptance. No undisclosed charges or preselected optional extras may be applied. If goods become unavailable after ordering, you will be informed and amounts paid for unavailable goods refunded without delay. The contract is concluded in Italian; an English explanation is provided for convenience without limiting mandatory rights. Terms and the order summary must be available to save and sent with confirmation on a durable medium.
4. Payments
Planned methods are cards via Stripe, PayPal and bank transfer, with cash for shop purchases or collection where offered at checkout. Only methods actually enabled and displayed when ordering are available. The shop supplies bank transfer details and instructions. Unless expressly stated otherwise, dispatch follows confirmation of payment. Cash on delivery is not offered. A provider not yet technically enabled cannot be selected and is not promised for an individual order.
5. Delivery within Italy only
We ship only within Italy, to destinations served and selectable at checkout. Costs and delivery times depend on the order, destination and product characteristics and are disclosed before confirmation. Unless a different time is agreed, delivery is made without undue delay and no later than 30 days after the contract is concluded. Remedies for delay follow Article 61 of the Italian Consumer Code. Risk of loss or damage passes to the consumer on physical receipt by them or a designated third party other than the carrier, except where the consumer independently chooses a carrier not offered by the seller as provided by law. Reporting visible package damage is helpful, but failing to reserve rights with the carrier does not remove statutory rights.
6. Consumer right of withdrawal
A consumer may withdraw without giving a reason within 14 days after receiving the goods. For multiple goods in one order delivered separately, the period runs from receipt of the last item; other cases follow Article 52 of the Consumer Code. Before the deadline, send an unequivocal withdrawal statement to info@giosarda.it, the certified email address or the seller’s postal address. The optional withdrawal form linked in the footer can be used, but is not compulsory. Withdrawal does not depend on prior authorisation or a working online form.
Return the goods to Giosarda Srls, Via Lubiana 190, 09013 Carbonia (SU), Italy within 14 days after notifying withdrawal. You bear the direct return costs unless the seller states otherwise. For goods that cannot normally be returned by post, the return cost or a reasonable maximum estimate must be provided before ordering; otherwise the statutory consequences for the seller apply. You may contact the shop to arrange logistics without making your right conditional on that contact.
The refund includes payments received and standard outbound delivery, excluding extra costs of a more expensive delivery method you chose. It is due within 14 days after notification, using the original payment method unless a different cost-free method is agreed. The seller may withhold the refund until receiving the goods or evidence of return, whichever comes first, unless it offered to collect them. You are liable only for diminished value caused by handling beyond what is needed to establish the goods’ nature, characteristics and functioning; intact original packaging is not an absolute condition.
7. Withdrawal exceptions
Only the statutory exceptions in Article 59 apply when actually relevant and disclosed before purchase, such as clearly personalised or made-to-order goods, rapidly perishable goods, or sealed goods unsuitable for return for genuine health or hygiene reasons once unsealed. A hygiene exception does not automatically cover all masks, snorkels, wetsuits or clothing: the legal conditions must apply to the particular item. Withdrawal exceptions do not remove the legal conformity guarantee.
8. Legal conformity guarantee
For consumer goods, the seller is liable for defects existing at delivery that become apparent within two years. Claims for defects not fraudulently concealed are subject to a 26-month limitation period from delivery. Subject to the law, consumers may choose repair or replacement free of charge; price reduction or termination are available in the cases provided by Articles 135-bis and following. Defects appearing within one year are presumed to have existed at delivery unless disproved or incompatible with the nature of the goods or defect. No obsolete two-month notification deadline is imposed. Contact the seller with a description and proof of purchase; you do not have to deal directly with the manufacturer. Any commercial warranty supplements, rather than replaces, these rights.
9. Complaints, law and disputes
For complaints and assistance use the contact details above. Italian law applies without depriving consumers of mandatory protections. Where required by law, the competent court is that of the consumer’s residence or domicile. Competent ADR bodies may be used under Articles 141 and following of the Consumer Code; information on the relevant body and participation will be supplied when legally required. The former European ODR platform closed on 20 July 2025 and is not an active complaint channel. See the European list of ADR bodies.
10. Privacy and versions
Personal data are handled under the Privacy Policy. The version available when ordering applies; later changes do not retrospectively amend contracts already concluded. You can save or print this document from your browser.
