Terms and Conditions of Sale

It is very important that you read these general terms and conditions carefully and fully understand them before submitting a purchase order for any product on our website. Prior to submitting a purchase order, users must declare that they have read, understood and accepted the content of these “Terms and Conditions of Sale”. Failure to accept these general terms and conditions shall preclude the user from submitting a purchase order for any product for sale on the website, as they are binding for the conclusion of the purchasing process. The images accompanying the product description sheets are for informative purposes only and may not be fully representative of its characteristics. For example, colours and dimensions may vary (this may also depend on the browser and monitor used to access the website and view the images).

WARRANTY:

1. All products sold by F.C.M. Srl are covered by the seller’s two-year legal warranty (from the date specified on the purchase document), as provided for by the Consumer Code (Legislative Decree no. 206 of 6 September 2005). Only consumers or natural persons who have purchased a product for non-commercial, non-entrepreneurial or non-professional use may benefit from the legal warranty. As such, invoices bearing the VAT number of a company or professional shall not be entitled to the rights of the legal warranty, but only to the conventional manufacturer’s warranty (12 months).
2. Consumers may enact the legal warranty upon submission of a proof of purchase (e.g. tax receipt / sales receipt) of the product, which is always provided by F.C.M. Srl inside the shipping box. It is therefore important to keep the product’s sales receipt.
3. Pursuant to Article 129 of the Consumer Code, a product is deemed to have a lack of conformity if it is not fit or purpose or suitable for use expected of products of the same type, if the quality or performance do not match the description provided by the seller or if it does not possess the quality or performance typical of a good of the same type, which the consumer could reasonably expect given the nature of the product.
4. Consumers who discover that a product purchased on our website has a lack of conformity can contact our support service on tel. no. 035/4491316. Our customer service team shall help the consumer to verify that the conditions stipulated in the Consumer Code are met.
5. Should the inspection confirm that the product suffers a lack of conformity (that is, that the conditions stipulated by the Consumer Code are met), the consumer shall be informed of the estimated repair time.
6. Should the inspection confirm that the conditions stipulated in the Consumer Code are not met (for example, if the defect has arisen as a direct result of misuse by the consumer), our support team shall contact the consumer to inform them of the nature of the defect and the estimated repair costs. These costs shall be borne entirely by the consumer. Furthermore, the consumer may be required to bear the costs of the inspection performed in some cases. The consumer shall be informed of these costs in advance, when the product is delivered for inspection.
7. In cases where the legal warranty does not apply, our support team shall ask the consumer to approve the repair costs quotation before commencing the work.
8. Consumers who have purchased Floorwash products from Authorised Floorwash Retailers in Italy may only enact the legal warranty from the direct seller of the product in question (if the conditions stipulated in the Consumer Code are met).
9. The warranty does not cover parts subject to wear and tear.
10. Unless otherwise specified, the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Do not remove the serial number or render it illegible.
