SUBJECT
By this Contract, VEO sells and the Customer purchases at a distance, through telematic means, the products indicated and offered for sale on the Site.
These Terms and Conditions do not govern the sale of products or provision of services performed by third parties using direct links to the Site through banners or through other hypertext links/links. On the websites that can be consulted through such links, VEO does not perform any kind of control/monitoring. Therefore, under no circumstances shall VEO be held responsible for goods or services promised by third parties or for the performance of transactions between Site Users and third parties.

SERVICE AVAILABILITY AND TERMS OF USE
The sale of products on the Site may be temporarily suspended, without prior notice, for the time strictly necessary for necessary and/or appropriate technical work on the platform or if justified security reasons or breaches of confidentiality occur.

VEO also reserves the right not to accept orders from a) non-consumer users; b) users with whom a legal dispute is pending; c) users involved in fraud related to credit card payments; d) users who have issued identifying information that later turns out to be false, incomplete or inaccurate.

PRODUCTS FOR SALE
The products offered for sale through this Site are the products described in the relevant product information sheet ("Product Sheet") outlining their main features, specifications and accessories.

AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS
All product orders are subject to product availability. The availability of products refers to the moment when the Customer consults the Product Sheets and must in any case be considered indicative since the Site may be visited simultaneously by several Users, and it could happen that, at the same time, several Users place an order for the same product. Therefore, it could happen that the Site's computer system marks as available a product that in reality is not available, as it was sold to others before the confirmation of the order. In such cases, the Seller cannot in any case be held responsible for the unavailability of one or more products. VEO may also not be held responsible for the temporary or permanent unavailability of one or more products. In the event of unavailability, even temporary, of the requested products, the Seller agrees not to charge the Customer the corresponding price. If the order has been transmitted and the price already charged for the items that have been found to be no longer available, the Seller will refund the Customer the full amount paid for those items. In case of unavailability, partial or total of the goods, even after sending the Order Confirmation email, the Customer will be promptly informed by email communication. In this case, the purchase contract will be deemed terminated, and VEO will refund the price and shipping costs (where applied and, in the case where the purchase has covered only the Product unavailable or, in case of multiple orders, limited to shipping costs specifically related to the Product unavailable). In the case of multiple orders, the unavailability of one or more of the Products ordered will not, however, give the Customer the right to cancel the entire Order.

The risk of loss of and damage to the products, due to causes not attributable to the Seller, is transferred to the Customer when he, or a third party designated by him and other than the carrier, materially takes possession of the product.

ATTENTION TO DELIVERY

Since these are products that may be broken or damaged in transit, before accepting the package, make sure:
1. That the number of packages being delivered corresponds to the number of packages indicated in the transport document;
2. That the packaging is intact and not altered, including in the closing materials;

  1. That the package is delivered diligently and expertly by the carrier;
  2. to SIGN with SPECIFIC RESERVE OF CONTROL in case of anomalies, package not intact or alternate, as better specified below;
  3. to check the integrity of the contents within 24h after delivery;
  4. to photograph the item from different perspectives as received by the courier.

SPECIFIC CONTROL RESERVE

Before accepting the package, make sure of the condition of the package and its contents.
The Customer has the right to make his own checks and ACCEPT WITH RESERVATION the parcel when he believes there are grounds for doing so, without being in a hurry to leave the shipper or afraid to make reservations.
It is the shipper's obligation and responsibility to carefully transport and deliver the goods, without causing damage to them during transportation. Therefore, in case of anomalies in the delivery of the goods, parcel or packaging damaged due to his conduct, it is the carrier who is liable for concealed transportation damage.
In order to enforce this liability, it is necessary to accept the delivery with RESERVE OF CONTROL which must be SPECIFIC i.e. well motivated, writing "I ACCEPT WITH RESERVE OF CONTROL" + THE REASON
Examples:
"I ACCEPT SUBJECT TO INSPECTION FOR SUSPECTED TAMPERING.: if the package is found to be open or not perfectly closed;

"I ACCEPT SUBJECT TO INSPECTION FOR IMPROPER HANDLING": if it is not delivered with care or diligence by the carrier;

"ACCEPT SUBJECT TO INSPECTION FOR VISUALLY DAMAGED PACKAGE" if the package shows visible damage, or is visually altered.


RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
The Consumer Customer enjoys the right of withdrawal, that is, the right to return the goods and obtain a refund of the amount paid by him.

The right of withdrawal is excluded in the case of the purchase of sealed products that are not suitable for return for hygienic reasons or reasons related to the protection of health and have been opened after delivery (Art. 59 letter e) of the Consumer Code). Almost all of our products for sale, such as bottle warmers, belong to this category, since these are products that for hygienic reasons do not lend themselves to return, especially when they come into direct contact with milk for infants. For this reason, we cannot accept the return of products that have been opened after delivery.

Outside of the cases where withdrawal is excluded, we recognize a longer period for the right of withdrawal. In fact, compared to the statutory period of 14 days, VEO's Customer can exercise the right of withdrawal within the 30-day period ("Withdrawal Period") from the day on which the Consumer or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by the Consumer, acquires physical possession of the product. In case of purchase of multiple products, the withdrawal period starts from the day of delivery of the last product, or in case of purchase of products with multiple lots or pieces, from the day of delivery of the last lot or piece.


To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer must inform the Seller, before the expiration of the Withdrawal Period, of its decision to withdraw, by any express statement of its decision to withdraw from the contract ("Declaration of Withdrawal"), of which a template at the following link, indicating in the subject line: "exercise of the right of withdrawal"; and in the body of the email: order number, date of order, the product(s) for which you intend to exercise the right of withdrawal, to be sent to: info@veobabys.com


The costs of returning the goods are:

  • borne by VEO, when the withdrawal is exercised within 14 days after delivery of the order.
  • totally borne by the Customer, when the withdrawal is exercised beyond the period of 14 days from the delivery of the order. In this case, the cost of the return is 14.99 euros.

Within fourteen (14) days from the Declaration of withdrawal, the Customer shall return the product carefully packed, protected, undamaged and complete with all its accessories, manuals, original labels, using the original packaging with which it was received.


VEO will send its carrier to pick up the goods to be returned to the warehouse. The Customer must print out the return label which VEO will email to the Customer.

Upon arrival at the warehouse VEO will ascertain the condition of the returned product and reserve the right to withhold the refund until such time.

The Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that, upon the outcome of the aforementioned assessment, the return request will be refused and we will return the purchased product to the Customer, charging the same shipping costs, in the case of:

  • packaged product, the original packaging of which is missing, tampered with or damaged by the Customer or purchase of items;
  • product that is missing some original parts, accessories or labels;
  • product that is damaged due to causes other than transportation, or there are anomalies in the state of preservation of the same.

Notwithstanding the above, the Customer who exercises the right of withdrawal is responsible for the decrease in the value of the products resulting from handling the products other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the same. In this case, the amount to be refunded will be reduced by an amount equal to the decrease in value. Of this the Customer will be informed by communication within the number of 3 days after receipt of the goods in the warehouse. In case the refund has already been made, the Seller will provide the bank details for the payment due by the Customer due to the decrease in the value of the Product.

WARRANTIES
The products marketed on the Site are covered by the Legal Guarantee of Conformity referred to in Articles 129 et seq. of the Consumer Code, which is reserved for consumers under Article 3, paragraph I, lett. a) of the Consumer Code. The Legal Guarantee of Conformity operates when the lack of conformity becomes apparent within 2 years from the delivery of the product ("Period of validity of the Warranty").

The Legal Warranty does not cover any defects caused by:

  • Accidental facts or caused by the Customer himself/herself
  • Use of the product improperly with respect to its normal purpose of use or to what is stated in the attached technical documentation
  • Handling of the product by third parties assigned for installation.

Battery power tends to decrease normally when subjected to intensive or inappropriate use. Therefore, any power reductions occurring after 12 months from the date of purchase cannot be considered as a conformity defect.


In case of lack of conformity, the Customer is entitled to obtain:

  1. (a) the restoration of conformity
  2. b) or, the proportional reduction of the price
  3. c) or, the termination of this contract.

For the purposes of restoring the conformity of the good, the Consumer may choose between repair and replacement, provided that the chosen remedy is not impossible or, compared to the alternative remedy, does not impose disproportionate costs on the Seller, taking into account all the circumstances and, in particular, the following:

  1. (a) the value that the good would have in the absence of the lack of conformity;
  2. (b) the extent of the lack of conformity; and
  3. (c) the possibility of pursuing the alternative remedy without significant inconvenience to the Consumer.

The Consumer is entitled to a proportional reduction in price or termination of the sales contract:

  1. (a) if the Seller has not carried out repair or replacement;
  2. (b) if a lack of conformity becomes apparent, despite an attempt to restore it;
  3. (c) if the lack of conformity is so serious as to warrant a price reduction or termination of the contract;
  4. (d) if the Seller has declared or it is clear from the circumstances that it will not restore the conformity of the goods within a reasonable period or without considerable inconvenience to the Consumer.

The Consumer does not have the right to terminate the contract if the lack of conformity is only minor. It is up to the Seller to determine the slightness.

If the price is reduced, it will be in proportion to the decrease in the value of the product.


In the event of a conformity defect, the Customer, within the Warranty Period, may contact Customer Service by email at the address in the header indicating the order number and attaching photos representative of the conformity defect.


The product of which you complain about the lack of conformity must be sent to VEO that will bear the cost of return or will appoint its own carrier to collect it.
