In the latter case, claims should be submitted directly to the appropriate carrier. Additional damages not covered by the warranty are damages caused by the improper use of the product, damages of purely cosmetic extent (such as scratches on the aluminum, alteration of the leather, stains on the fabric, and discoloration due to uv rays) and accidental or indirect damages such as, for example, damage to or loss of the contents of luggage or anything else not directly attributable to the damage caused.

This, however, does not affect in favor of the same the rights arising from Legislative Decree No. 206 of September 6, 2005, as replaced by Legislative Decree No. 21 of February 21, 2014. 

If the customer is a consumer (meaning by this definition any natural person who acts on the site www.fpm.it for purposes unrelated to the entrepreneurial or professional activity possibly carried out as specified by Legislative Decree September 6, 2005 n.206, as replaced, limited to Articles 45 to 67, by Legislative Decree February 21, 2014 n.21) the seller is liable for any lack of conformity that becomes apparent within the term of 2 (two) years from delivery of the product.

For the purposes of the following contract, products are presumed to be in conformity with the contract if all the following conditions are met:

that the products conform to the description made by the seller and possess the qualities of the product that the seller has presented to the consumer as a sample or model it being understood, however, that the images accompanying the descriptive sheet of a product on the site are for informational purposes only and cannot be understood as perfectly representative of its characteristics but differ e.g. By color and size (also because of the software and hardware devices used by the customer to access the site www.fpm.it and view images);

That the products exhibit the usual qualities and performance of products of the same type that the customer can reasonably expect, taking into account the nature of the products and any public statements about the specific characteristics of the goods made in this regard by the seller, manufacturer, or its agent or representative, particularly in advertising or on labeling;

that the products are suitable for the particular use, if any, desired by the customer, when such particular use has been brought to the knowledge of the seller by the customer at the time of the conclusion of the contract, and when it has been accepted by the seller even by conclusive facts; in this regard, the seller specifies as of now that it is not willing to assign its own products present on the site, or otherwise accept the use of the same, for purposes that are not reasonably inferable of the very nature of the products and of any public statements on the specific characteristics of the goods made in this regard by the seller itself on its own site

the seller, for the greater benefit of the consumer, recognizes the consumer customer's right to report the lack of conformity even beyond the period of two months from the date of receipt of the product; it is understood, however, that the seller will not, in any case, be liable for conformity defects that become apparent after 2 years from the delivery of the product.

In the event of a lack of conformity, the customer shall have the right to restore, without charge, the conformity of the product by repair or replacement, under the conditions set out below, or to an appropriate reduction in price or termination of the contract.

The customer may request, at his or her option, the seller to repair the product or to replace it, free of charge in both cases, unless the remedy requested is objectively impossible or excessively burdensome compared to the other pursuant to Article 130, paragraph 4, of the Consumer Code.

The customer shall send his request in writing to the seller at customer@fpm.it.

The seller within 14 (fourteen) working days of receipt of the customer's request shall communicate its willingness to comply with the customer's request or the reasons that prevent it from doing so; in the same communication, the seller who has acceded to the customer's request shall indicate the manner of return or shipment of the product as well as the expected time limit for the return or replacement of the defective product.

If the replacement or repair of the product is impossible or excessively burdensome, or if the seller has failed to repair or replace the product within the above terms, or if the repair or replacement of the product previously carried out has caused significant inconvenience to the customer, the customer at his option may request a reasonable reduction in price, or termination of the contract.

In this case, the customer must send his request to the seller who, within 14 (fourteen) working days of receipt of the customer's request, will communicate his willingness to give effect to the request or the reasons preventing him from doing so.

The seller, in the same communication, if he has accepted the customer's request, shall indicate the proposed price reduction or the manner of returning the defective product.

In these cases, it will be the customer's responsibility to indicate how the sums already paid to the seller will be credited.

It is understood that a minor conformity defect for which it has not been possible or is excessively burdensome to exhaust the remedies of repair or replacement, does not entitle the customer to terminate the contract.

11 - Additional conventional guarantees

In addition to the normal warranty provided in favor of the consumer - and leaving in any case unprejudiced in favor of the same the rights deriving from Legislative Decree 6 September 2005 n.206, as replaced by Legislative Decree 21 February 2014 n.21 and better identified in paragraph 10 above - the following condition of greater favor for the consumer customer is also provided:

However, damages caused by wear and tear not due to defects in materials or workmanship and other damages listed in paragraph 10 will not be covered by warranty.

Also not covered by warranty will be damage caused by improper use of the product, damage of a purely cosmetic nature (such as scratches or stains on fabric), accidental or indirect damage (such as, for example, damage to or loss of the contents of luggage or anything else not directly attributable to the damage caused), damage caused by airlines or transit carried out by airport services, and any other damage caused by the latter.

If a replacement product is not available, the vendor will, at its discretion, provide a product of equal value and function.

The customer is required to print and retain, or download and store, the product registration confirmation.

If the registration of the product is carried out within the above terms and always with exclusive reference to the conformity defects of the product as better identified above, the seller will not enforce the forfeiture of the customer's warranty under the law, thus providing for the follow up of the procedure referred to in paragraph 10 above even if the conformity defect is reported by the customer after the period of 2 months from receipt of the product.
