The order will be sent by clicking on the "Buy Now" button and will be stored in the Diffusione Tessile database for the period of time set forth by the current legislation.
The order will then be considered a contractual purchase proposal. Upon receipt of the order, Diffusione Tessile will send the Customer an email containing the order number and information about the ordered products, the price of each product, the shipping address as well as the payment methods and the delivery times.

The Customer’s order may be rejected in the event in which the information provided by the customer is incorrect or does not comply with these general conditions, if the available products are out of stock, if insufficient solvency warranties are detected, if the order does not meet the normal need for consumption (a requirement that applies either to the number of products purchased within a single order or to a plurality of orders pertaining to the same product, even if each order comprises a quantity of products corresponding to normal needs of consumption), or due to cases of force majeure.
If the order cannot be accepted, Diffusione Tessile will communicate within 10 days following receipt of the order the impossibility of processing the order, which will be followed by the immediate release of the payment amount.

This payment option is a special service that costs an additional flat surcharge of 8,00€. If you choose this payment method, the total amount of the order cannot exceed €4999.99. This payment method cannot be used for amounts higher than this.

During purchase, Diffusione Tessile will save an acknowledgement code associated with the Customer's PayPal account, which authorises the exclusive use of future purchases, or the replacement of goods already purchased to avoid entering their PayPal access data again.
It is possible to revoke the aforementioned authorisation at any time from within your My Account or by making an express request to the Customer Service (customerservice@marinarinaldi.it) or directly from the Customer's PayPal account. PayPal may require the Customer to re-enter their login credentials if there is suspicion of unauthorised activity linked to the use of the PayPal account.
The conclusion of the order process will be considered effective after the completion of payment transactions once the customer is redirected to the weekendmaxmara.com website, confirming acceptance of the order.
In the event that the charge is not accepted due to incorrect data entry by the Customer or for other technical causes which will be communicated to the Customer by the Payment Service Provider, the Customer will not be able to use "Buy Now"; if the Customer decides to leave the payment page in the manner indicated by the service administrator, the Customer will be redirected to the website it.diffusionetessile.com, which will inform him that the order cannot be completed.

The Customer may exercise the right of rescission provided for in Article 52 of the Consumer Code within 14 (fourteen) calendar days from the day on which the Customer or third party other than the carrier designated by the Customer acquires the physical possession of the goods.
The Customer may exercise the right of rescission without giving any reason:
- By sending the form included as Annex 1 or other similar declaration to Diffusione Tessile S.r.l. at the address Via Santi 8, 42025, Cavriago (Reggio Emilia), Italy, or by email to , together with the purchased goods, in perfect condition and in their original packaging, with the label and all the documentation received.
- By delivering the purchased goods to any of the points of sale listed at the following link in perfect condition and in their original packaging, with the label and all the documentation received.
In the first case (letter a)), within 14 (fourteen) calendar days from the request for cancellation above the Customer must return the products in the same conditions in which they were received, following the procedures specified in articles 10.1 or 10.2 below, and the return costs will be charged to Diffusione Tessile. In the second case (letter b)), the return of the products will take place simultaneously with the exercise of the right of cancellation, at the point of sale chosen by the Customer.
The options specified in letters a) and b) are alternatives.
If the right to rescission is exercised in a way that satisfies the above conditions, the value of the returned products – equal to their purchase price – shall be refunded by crediting the amount paid by the Customer within 14 (fourteen) calendar days from the date on which Diffusione Tessile becomes aware of the request for rescission (in cases of point a)); or without undue delay following the date of delivery to one of the sales points available as options (in cases of point b)), with this latter case entailing the indication of a name, surname and IBAN code at the sales point.
If the cancellation procedure is completed according to the conditions above, the price paid by the Customer for the returned products will be refunded within the term of 14 (fourteen) calendar days starting from the date in which Diffusione Tessile is informed of the cancellation request (if procedure a) is chosen) or without delay if returned to one of the participating points of sale (if procedure b) is chosen).
For procedure a), Diffusione Tessile can withhold reimbursement until it has received the cancelled goods or until the consumer has demonstrated that he/she has shipped the goods, whichever occurs first.
For purchases made via credit card or PayPal, Diffusione Tessile will process this refund using the same payment method used by the Client/Customer for the initial transaction, unless another payment method is expressly agreed with the Client/Customer and provided that this does not result in additional costs for the Customer.
For purchases made with cash on delivery, Diffusione Tessile will carry out the refund via a bank transfer. It is the Customer’s responsibility to communicate his/her name, surname and bank details.
To this end, the Customer authorises Diffusione Tessile to retain his/her bank information and payment details for the time required to exercise the right of rescission and to fulfil all other legal obligations.

Returning goods to the store is an alternative to the returns specified in points 10.1 and 10.2.
10.4 Conditions of Integrity for the Return
According to Article 57 of the Consumer Code, the consumer is liable if the products returned by the Customer are damaged, incomplete, damaged and/or used in a non-compliant manner. An asset is considered used beyond normal diligence in the case of use beyond that necessary to establish its nature, characteristics and operations (e.g. in case of removal of the labels, if the clothing item was worn rather than just being tried on).
You can return an item purchased at weekendmaxmara.com only if it is in the same condition as when it was received. The Customer must then ensure that:
- the item has not been used or suffered damage during being tried on;
- the item has not been dirtied or been washed;
- the item keeps all labels, tags and warranty seals on the item when checking the quality and original finishes;
- the item has not been modified in any way.
In particular, we must specify that all types of items in their original box (eg shoes or small accessories) must be returned in their original packaging, which is considered an integral part of the article.
In case the damaged, incomplete and/or deteriorated goods are returned and/or the conditions of use are not compliant with due diligence, notwithstanding the right to rescission, the customer will be charged the sum corresponding to the decreased value of the goods. In such cases, Diffusione Tessile will promptly notify the Customer of the damage and non-conformities found when receiving the items. The amount charged to the Customer, which in any case cannot be higher than the price paid for the purchase of the item, will be deducted from the Customer's refund.
For any information on this matter, please contact our Customer Service, which in the event of doubts regarding the shipment and/or delivery of the order will provide information regarding the customer service of the courier in charge.
Returns of products from unidentifiable subjects and without references to the order will remain in storage at Diffusione Tessile warehouses for a period of 60 days from receipt of the goods, after which, without the subject having identified himself, Diffusione Tessile will be able to dispose of them freely.
10.5 Items that are incorrect, damaged or different from those ordered
We would like to inform Customers that pennyblack.com submits its own garments and materials with which they are made to strict quality controls, ensuring that they are sold in perfect condition. In addition, for greater remote purchasing protection, every single item shipped by weekendmaxmara.com is checked before being shipped. weekendmaxmara.com adopts the best photographic standards so that the colour rendering on the website is as close as possible to the appearance, yet there may be variations due to the technical features and colour resolution provided by the Customer's computer. Diffusione Tessile is therefore not responsible for the inadequacy of the photographic representations of the products due to the aforementioned technical reasons. In these cases, the Customer may only return the product within the terms of the rescission period referred to in art. 9.
In case of receipt of a product other than the one ordered, the Customer may return the product within the terms of the rescission period referred to in art. 9.
11. Compliance – Warranty
1. The purchased products benefit from the legal guarantee according to Articles 129 and following of the Consumer Code. Diffusione Tessile is responsible of any lack of conformity, already existing at the time of the delivery of the products, that becomes apparent within 2 years from delivery of the products.
2. Any complaint for lack of conformity must be communicated in due time to Diffusione Tessile with a description of the non conformity.
3. For a quick management of the complaint, the Customer may also report the non-compliance by requesting immediate delivery via the "Order" button next to the product photo under the "My Orders" button of the personal area of My Account, specifying the reason for the request according to the methods indicated on weekendmaxmara.com.
4. In case of receipt of non-conforming products or of a product other than that ordered, the Customer must make the product available for Diffusione Tessile and Diffusione Tessile must verify that the numbered warranty seal placed on the item during the quality control prior to shipping is intact and has not been removed.
5. The Customer shall be entitled to have the non-conforming Products restored, free of charge, by means of replacement. Under no circumstances will tailoring changes be made to the garments purchased since these would be overly costly for Diffusione Tessile. Likewise, no costs that the Customer incurs in order to make tailor-made adjustments and/or alterations to the items purchased will be reimbursed, and will therefore remain at the exclusive expense of the customer.
6. In the cases set out by the Consumer Code, the Customer may choose between either cancelling the purchase or a price reduction. These remedies in the case of delivery of a plurality of Products shall apply only to the non-conforming Product unless the customer cannot be reasonably expected to keep only the conforming Products.

Diffusione Tessile will inform the Customer of any acts of God or force majeure within seven (7) days of their occurrence.
