1.1

The remote selling service governed by these Terms of Sale is reserved exclusively to consumers who purchase the Products for personal use (hereinafter, the “Customers” or the “Customer”). For the purpose of these Terms of Sale, Customer shall mean any individual of age who is acting for purposes which are outside the scope of his or her trade, business, craft or profession. 

1.2

The Vendor reserves the right not to process orders received from users of the Website who are not, or that Stone Island has reasons to believe are not, Customers, as well as any other order which does not comply with these Terms of Sale. 

1.3

These Terms of Sale shall govern the offer, transmission and acceptance of purchase orders relating to the Products sold on the Website and together with the purchase order accepted by the Vendor, constitute the purchase contract between the Customer and the Vendor. 

1.4

These Terms of Sale do not govern the supply of services or the sale of the Products performed by third parties that the Customer may be able to access on the Website through links, banners or other hypertext links. Before sending orders and purchasing the Products and services from those third parties, we recommend that the Customer verifies the third party’s terms and conditions, since the Vendor shall under no circumstances be liable for the supply of services and/or products provided by third parties or for the execution of transactions between the users of the Website and third parties. 

2.1

Display of the Products on the Website constitute an invitation to make an offer for their purchase.  

To place an order for the purchase of one or more Products on the Website (the “Order”), the Customer shall: (i) select one or more Products offered for sale on the Website, (ii) select the size and colour, (iii) add the selected Products to the “Shopping Bag", (iv) fill out the online order form with all the information required (personal details, shipping address and payment details), (v) accept these Terms of Sale and (iv) confirm the order at the end of the check-out page. 

Alternatively, the Customer may submit an order by phone through our “Buy on behalf” option. By choosing this option, the Customer may call our Customer Service free of charge (a)*, and will be guided through his/her online purchase.  

Once the Products, size and colour have been selected and once everything is confirmed to our Customer Service, the Customer will receive a link to the email address indicated at the time of registration on the Website or provided to the Customer Service. The Customer shall click on the link to complete the order and accept these Terms of Sale before proceeding to pay. 

Submission of the Order by sending the online order form and confirmation via the check-out page constitutes a purchase proposal, binding on the Customer, without prejudice to the right of withdrawal set forth in article 8 below.  

2.2

Before submitting the Order, the Customer is required to verify the correctness of its content through the Shopping Bag and the only order form filled out, correcting any errors. The Customer will be no longer able to change the Order once submission will be completed. On the check-out page, the Customer will find a summary of the main characteristics of each Product ordered and the corresponding unit price (including all applicable fees and taxes), the type of payment that the Customer may use in order to purchase the Products, shipping terms for the ordered Products, shipping and delivery costs and the terms and conditions for returning the Products ordered.  

Before submitting the Order, on the check-out page, if available the Customer may also select the “Tax Free” option in order to benefit – provided that the applicable tax and customs law’s requirements are met – from the refund of sales taxes (VAT and similar) upon return to the Country of residence. In this case, the purchase invoice will be included in the package of the Product at the time it is shipped or delivered directly to the Customer together with the good in case of the “Pick Up in Store” option.  

Please read our Return Policy for additional details on how to return a Product under the right of withdrawal and the special conditions that apply in case the “Tax Free” option has been selected. 

2.3

Before submitting the Order, the Customer shall carefully read and accept these Terms of Sale. The Customer shall not be allowed to proceed with the order without having previously accepted these Terms of Sale. These Terms of Sale can be printed, using the “print” option and saved for own personal use. Stone Island invites the Customer to store a copy of these Terms of Sale for future use. Should the Customer not agree with certain provisions contained herein, the same is requested not to submit any Order.  

2.4

An Order shall be deemed to have been submitted upon receipt in electronic form by the Vendor and once it has been verified that the information contained in the Order is correct. 

2.5

The Order form will be filed in our database for the time required to process the same and as provided by law. The Customer may access his/her order form by clicking on the section called Orders, within the area “Client Services” of the Website. 

2.6

We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that the prices and other information about Products displayed on the Website are accurate and up-to-date. However, the inclusion of any Product on the Website does not imply, warrant or guarantee that the same will be available at the time the Customer wishes to confirm an Order to purchase the same. Therefore, occasionally, if one or more Products are unavailable at the time of the Order on the Website, the Vendor may not be able to process the Order sent by the Customer. Furthermore, Orders will not be considered as submitted and will not be processed if Orders are incomplete or incorrect. Stone Island may conduct fraud prevention checks prior to processing the Order. 

In all the above cases, we shall inform the Customer by email that the Vendor has not processed the Order specifying the reasons thereof. If the Products displayed on the Website are no longer available at the time the Vendor receives the Order, the Vendor shall inform the Customer on a timely manner and, in any case, within the subsequent fourteen (14) days. If the Order has been sent and the price has been paid for Products that are no longer available (by way of example this could occur in cases where the payment is processed by third suppliers), the Vendor will refund the amount paid for those Products without undue delay. 

2.7 

Once the Order form has been received and processed by the Vendor, the Customer shall receive a Purchase Order acknowledgment e-mail, containing a summary of the information related to the Order (Terms of Sale, the Products’ main characteristics, detailed information on the price, terms of payment, return policy and shipping costs). This e-mail shall not be construed as acceptance of the Order; acceptance of the Order Proposal and execution of the contract are governed by article 2.8 below. 

Depending on the type of payment selected by the Customer, the payment of the price due may occur upon submission of the Order or upon shipping of the same. Please note that the Order acknowledgement e-mail and any payment of the price made before the order shipping confirmation is sent, do not constitute acceptance thereof by the Vendor.  

2.8 

The contract between the Vendor and the Customer shall be deemed concluded, for each Product, only at the time the Order is submitted by the Customer or at the time of shipping, depending on the payment method used and the moment the amount is debited. It is hereby understood that, if the Vendor withdraws from an Order for which the price has been already debited (by way of example this could occur in cases where the payment is processed by third suppliers) or cancels an Order for which a charge has not yet been made, the relevant amount shall automatically be refunded at the time of withdrawal or cancellation of the Order.  

The Vendor reserves the right to accept and/or refuse the Customer’s Order, in whole or in part in the event of (i) unavailability of the purchased products; (ii) suspicion of fraudulent activity; (iii) unsuccessful payment. Therefore, in the event of partial acceptance, the relevant partial amount will be charged and the Products will be dispatched only for the part of the Order accepted.

3.1 

On the Website, only Products with the “Stone Island” trademark are offered for sale. The Stone Island Products are sold on the Website exclusively by the Vendor and in no event it will be possible to purchase on the Website Products offered by parties other than Stone Island. 

3.2 

The Vendor does not sell Products that are second-hand, flawed or of lower quality compared to the corresponding market standards. In case of lack of conformity, the Customer is entitled to enforce the legal warranty under article 9 of these Terms of Sale.

3.3 

The information relating to the Products, the Products’ code and the relevant prices are shown on the Website, on each Product description page. The graphic representation of the Products provided on the Website may differ from reality; the Customer shall therefore rely exclusively on the description of the Product and of the characteristics indicated on the Website. 

3.4 

Prices of Products are displayed on the Website and are inclusive of all applicable taxes and duties. Any shipping and delivery costs, if any, shall also be added to the price of the Products. The Vendor reserves the right to change the prices at its discretion and without prior notice. In case of price reductions, such reductions will be displayed on the Website alongside with the original price of the Product and in any event in compliance with the requirements set forth by applicable national laws implementing the Directive (EU) 2019/2161 and subsequent amendments.  

In the event of private sales, which are only accessible using a personal discount code, the discounted price of the Product will be shown directly on the check-out page after the discount code has been entered, where the Customer can view the original price, the discount applied and the final sale price. 

Please check the final price of sale before submitting the relevant order. 

3.5 

All Products sold on the Website come with an identification tag and with Certilogo tag. The Customer shall not remove or alter the tags from the purchased Products should the latter wish to return them. 

4.1 

Payment of the Product prices and relevant costs for shipping and delivery must be made by using one of the types of payment indicated in the relevant sections of the Website and on the order page. 

4.2 

In case of payment by credit/debit card, all details (for example, card number or expiration date) shall be sent by encrypted protocol to the provider of remote electronic payment services, without third parties having any access thereto whatsoever. Such details shall be used by the Vendor exclusively to process the purchase or issuing refunds in the case of returns in compliance with the exercise of the Customer’s return right or for reporting cases of fraud to the police. Depending on the type of payment selected, the price for the purchase of the Products and the corresponding costs for shipping and delivery, as indicated in the order form, shall be charged to the chosen type of payment from the Customer’s current account when the purchased Products are actually shipped or at the time of submission of the order (by way of example this could occur in cases where the payment is processed by third suppliers). 

4.3 

In the event of payment by credit/debit card, the Customer warrants that he/she is the owner of the card used for the purchase and that all data relating thereto is correct. Transactions shall be charged to the Customer’s credit card after verification of the credit card data entered, and after the debit authorization has been received from the company issuing the credit card used and the availability of the Products has been confirmed by the Vendor. 

5.1 

The Customer may opt to receive the Products he/she has purchased at the address indicated in the Order in one of the countries listed under the section “Shop In” available on the Website, or by collecting the Product at a Stone Island store (where the option “Pick up in Store” is available) located in the country selected at the time of purchase. Orders made from countries where delivery is not offered and thus non included in the list “Shop in” shall not be accepted by the Vendor and the Customer shall not be allowed to proceed and submit the order form.   

If the Customer has chosen delivery through “Pick up in Store”, We shall inform the Customer of the Products’ arrival at the store by e-mail. In this case, the Customer must collect the purchased Products from the chosen store within fifteen (15) days from the date on which the aforementioned e-mail is sent. 

Should the Products not be collected within the aforementioned period of 15 days, the Order will be automatically cancelled and the Customer will no longer be entitled to collect the Products. As a result of the cancellation of the Order, the Customer shall be reimbursed for the amount paid, delivery costs (if any) excluded, on the same type of payment used for the purchase, within the time frame set forth in article 8.4 below. 

5.2 

In order to collect the Products ordered at the Stone Island store selected at the time of purchase, the Customer shall show the sales assistant a copy of the delivery confirmation e-mail, as well as a personal identification document. If the Customer requests another person to collect the order, he/she shall be required to provide the delivery confirmation e-mail, a photocopy of the Customer’s identification document, a document in which the Customer authorises him/her to collect the order, and his/her own identification document. 

Please note that in case of the “Pick up in Store” option, payment for the items may not be made at the point of sale. Payment shall be processed online as per orders delivered to a specific personal address. 

If the Customer has selected delivery to a Stone Island store , the delivery timings and costs are the same as those for delivery to any other chosen address. 

5.3 

For more detailed information on the modalities of Products shipping and delivery, costs and time, please see the link to the area “Client Services". Please read the relevant section of the Website carefully. The information provided therein forms an integral part of these Terms of Sale and, consequently, shall be deemed to be fully read and accepted by the Customer at the time the order is sent.

6.1 

Stone Island may from time to time or during particular commercial events or launches of new Products, offer - directly and/or indirectly - to Customers additional services, such as, by way of example, the possibility of obtaining (free of charge or upon payment of the relevant price) one or more NFTs associated and/or to be associated with one or more specific garments purchased online. The additional services and NFTs shall be governed by specific terms and conditions of purchase and/or use which will be published on the Website from time to time and which the Customer shall accept in order to access, redeem and/or use the service. In some cases, the services may require the prior download and use of dedicated applications, including the Stone Island App.

8.1 

The Customer may cancel the contract with the Vendor in relation to Products purchased on the Website, without incurring any penalty and without specifying the reason thereof, by notifying the Vendor in writing, following the procedure described under article 8.3 below or by returning the Products directly to a Stone Island store selected among those available in the Country where the Order was dispatched. It will not be possible to return the Products to a Stone Island store located in a Country other than that where delivery was made. 

In order to exercise the right to cancel the contract, the Customer shall notify us in writing within twenty (20) calendar days, beginning on the day in which the Products were received (in case of purchase of multiple goods, shipped separately, the 20 days shall start from receipt of the last shipment), or, if the “Pick up in store" option (if available) was selected at the time of purchase, from the date in which the Products were collected at the Stone Island store(such notice shall be deemed to have been sent, in the event of failure to collect the Products pursuant to article 5.1 above). In this case the Customer shall receive a full refund of the price of the Products, including standard delivery costs, where applied (but excluding supplementary costs for expedited delivery options, gift wrapping and other additional expenses related to the delivery option selected by the Customer) in accordance with this article 8 and article 11 below. 

Additional information on our Return Policy on the Website. 

If, at the time of submission of the Order, the Customer has selected the “Tax Free” option (if available): 

a) the right of withdrawal shall be subject to the same conditions set forth under this article 8 as long as the Customer has not obtained any purchase tax refund (and therefore before leaving the Country where the Products were purchased). In this case, the Customer shall be entitled to full refund of the Products price (including sale taxes) and shipping/delivery costs (if any); 

b) if the Customer has already left the Country of purchase and benefited from the tax refund before the expiration of the 20 days to exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer shall still be entitled to exercise his/her right and return the Product to obtain the refund of the price net of sale taxes (VAT and similar), which have been already refunded to the Customer. Please note that in this case, the Customer acknowledges and accepts to be responsible for, and takes liability for performance of any customs requirements and payment of any customs tax or fee required to ship and return the goods to the territory where they shall be returned.

It will be sufficient for the Customer to present the Products to the sales assistant in their original packaging, if possible and if still intact, together with the delivery receipt contained in the original packaging and the garment bag, if included inside the package at the time of delivery of the Order. The assistant will fill out the return form and check that the Products comply with the terms and conditions indicated in article 8.3 below. Delivery of the Products to the sales assistant is equivalent to acceptance of the return by the Vendor. 

8.3 

To return the Products:

In case of return after having obtained a refund under the “Tax Free” option, the Customer shall not be able to use the Return Form and benefit from our free collection service and shall be responsible for compliance with any customs requirements or fee required to return the products to the purchase country.  

8.4

8.5 

Unless the Customer returns the Products to a Stone Island store selected among those listed on the Website and located in the same Country where the Products were dispatched, the Customer may return the Products to the Vendor either by: 

1. the courier indicated by Stone Island in the online return form, via the pre-paid, personalised return label enclosed in the original order; or 
2. by packing the relevant Products securely and sending them to the Vendor, under the sole responsibility of the Customer, using a different carrier or other postal shipping method using the return number provided once the Customer has completed the online return form.  

In order to ensure prompt processing of the return and to guarantee the security of the returned Product, the Vendor recommends the use of the free return services described under (1). In the event that the Customer returns the Products using the method under (2) instead of the courier approved by the Vendor, We recommend, for the Customer’s interest, that a courier service be used.  

In case of return after exercise of the “Tax Free” option, if available, the Customer shall be responsible for complying with all the customs requirements and customs taxes or fees to return the Products to the purchase Country. Stone Island reserves the rights to reject the products for which such requirements and fees have not been complied with in advance.  

Please note that Products returned under the right of withdrawal shall be shipped from the same Country in which they have been dispatched, except for returns made by parties that have benefited from the “Tax Free” option, if available.

The withdrawal right set out in this article 8 does not apply to: 

• sealed Products unsealed by the Customer following delivery, where return of such products is unsuitable due to health protection or hygiene reasons; 
• Products comprising sealed audio or video recordings or computer software, if the Product becomes unsealed after delivery; 
• Products which are made according to the Customer’s specifications or clearly personalised; 
• Products which have become inseparably mixed with other items after delivery; or 
• Any digital service or content once the Customer has started the relevant download and expressly waived the right of withdrawal.

In any case, the Customer shall be held liable for the reduction in value of the Products; the Vendor reserves the right, at its own discretion, to take legal action against the Customer to ascertain such reduction and, in subordination to the hypothesis of refusal of the return, to withhold from the refund due to the Customer the sum corresponding to the damage caused to the returned Product.

No refund shall be made in this case. If the Customer does not accept re-delivery, the Vendor reserves the right to retain the Products and the purchase price and recover the Vendor’s fees and expenses from the Customer, unless the Product was returned - in compliance with the requirements set forth under article 8.3 - within the 20-days term from receipt of the same by the Customer. 

9.5 

Refunds for returns due to Lack of Conformity, unless differently agreed with the Vendor, shall be processed on the same means of payment used for the purchase of same.

9.6
