(3) The use of the distance sales service described herein is reserved solely for end-user customers/consumers.

The resale, rental, or transfer for commercial or professional reasons of products purchased on the Site is strictly forbidden.

Therefore, before placing an order and/or purchasing products and services from subjects other than the Vendor, the Customer is invited to check the applicable conditions of sale thereto. In no case can the Vendor be held liable for the provision of services by third parties.
(8) Please consult the Privacy Information Notice for information on the processing of Customer personal data.

2. Product orders
(1) Orders may be placed directly by persons of legal age who are not under legal disability.
(2) Orders may be placed in English via the fendi.com.
(3) The Customer must provide FENDI a valid e-mail address to which required information, information under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and any information concerning the order will be sent.
(4) Each distance sale order made by the Customer covered by these General Terms and Conditions of Sale may be for one or more products, up to a maximum of seven products per order, of which a maximum of two units per same article.
(5) FENDI reserves the right to modify the limits for the quantity and/or types of products that may be purchased via distance sales, at any time.
(6) The Customer is responsible for selecting the articles of interest to him/her. The Customer's shopping cart and the order summary sent to the Customer following completion of the purchase include a description of the products ordered, including measurements and sizes (where applicable), and a digital photograph allowing a correct representation of the products available on the Site.
(7) Although FENDI takes all appropriate measures to ensure the photographs on the Site faithfully represent the original products, including technological means to reduce inaccuracies as much as possible, certain variations are possible due to (but not limited to) the Customer's computer's technical characteristics and/or color resolution. Consequently, any confirmation regarding the condition or characteristics of a product shall at all times be subject to the possibility of inaccurate representation on the Customer's computer; as such, FENDI does not (implicitly or explicitly) guarantee or warranty, in any way, the condition, representation and/or characteristics of any products on the Site due to the technical reasons listed above.
(8) The Customer must click on the shopping cart icon to view the selected articles and total price of the articles ordered. The Customer is asked to verify the content of the shopping cart before completing the purchase form in accordance with the instructions provided on the Site, and to confirm that he/she has read and unconditionally accepted these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
(9) Should the Customer need to modify (an article or quantity) or correct any errors in the order, he/she must follow the instructions on the Site.

3.Product prices
(1) Product prices include all taxes and duties, ordinary shipping costs, unless otherwise stipulated on the Site or on the order page.
(2) The price of each product is displayed for the Customer prior to completion of the order. All prices are in local currency and include VAT, if applicable.

4.Completing the order
(1) The purchase procedure is deemed completed only once the Customer confirms the order. Upon confirmation, the order is sent directly to FENDI.
(2) The Customer may correct or cancel the order before its completion by leaving the Site without having confirmed the order.
(3) These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are available on all pages of the Site via the links in the footer.
(4) After the Customer has clicked on "payable order", an e-mail notification is automatically sent via the access of the order to the Customer. This is not yet the acceptance declaration of FENDI.com. A contract has not yet come about at this time.
(5) FENDI considers the Customer's order to be binding only once the entire purchase procedure has been properly completed, without any errors being identified by the Site and/or FENDI. The contract between FENDI and the Customer is considered concluded only once the Customer receives formal confirmation of successful completion from FENDI to the e-mail address indicated during the order process, sent in respect of the specific purchase procedure. Upon receiving such confirmation, the Customer will also receive a copy of these accepted General Terms and Conditions of Sale and a complete summary of the order for his/her records.
(6) Before FENDI sends the confirmation of the successful conclusion of the order/binding contract, FENDI has the right to accept or reject orders which do not provide sufficient guarantees of solvency or which are incomplete or incorrect or if the ordered products are unavailable. In this case, FENDI will inform the Customer that the contract is not concluded and that it is not following up on the order, providing its reasons for doing so. The Customer shall be informed within 30 days of transmission of the order to FENDI of such cancellation, if applicable. Any amounts already paid by the Customer at the time of cancellation for the order will be reimbursed.
(7) Following successful conclusion of the contract, the Customer will receive written confirmation of the order to the indicated e-mail address, including the number and date of the purchase, the product ordered, its price, the amount paid, the right of withdrawal (except in cases where this right is excluded – i.e. Personalised Articles), an indication of the times and instructions for returning goods, the mailing address for complaints, information on customer service, legal and commercial guarantees (if applicable) and the right to use out-of-court resolution mechanisms for complaints or appeals.
The Customer may cancel the order by telephone to FENDI Customer Service only before any ordered products have been prepared for shipment by FENDI.

5. Conditions of payment
(1) The Customer must make payment via one of the methods of payment indicated on the order form.
(2) In order to help prevent internet fraud, payments made via the Site are managed online by the bank in question using tools provided by Adyen.
(3) Adyen shall be responsible for securely storing and automatically processing order data including credit card information, pursuant to the terms and conditions found on Adyen’s site.
(4) For payment, the Customer must confirm on the Site that he/she is the card holder and that the name indicated on the credit card is his/hers; the Customer must provide the credit card number, expiry date and security key indicated on the card. Upon completing the order, the Customer's bank may request confirmation of the data entered and that the credit card used has not been reported lost or stolen. Validity of the Customer's card may be confirmed via a payment authorization at a cost of €1.00. This authorization is not debited.
For most payment methods, the total price of the order is credited immediately after checkout. For credit and debit card payments, the total price of the order is pre-authorised after checkout, and credited when the order is processed. The pre-authorization may result in a “hold” on the Customer’s available card funds until the fulfilment of the order. Should an order be cancelled in whole or in part before shipment, the Customer will not be charged for the price of the unshipped items: any pre-authorised amount will be released.
For pre-order items, the total amount is always credited immediately after checkout. In this case, should an order be cancelled in whole or in part before shipment, any paid amount will be refunded.
(5) If, for any reason, the amounts due by the Customer cannot be debited, the sale process and sale are automatically cancelled.

The delivered goods remain the property of FENDI until full payment has been received.
