3.DELIVERIES
3.1 Delivery
All orders confirmed by Gruppo Cimbali S.p.A. will be delivered to the delivery address you specified when placing your order.
Gruppo Cimbali S.p.A. and/or companies authorised by Gruppo Cimbali S.p.A. may contact you by SMS, telephone and/or email with information regarding your order and delivery.
All items purchased from the Website will be delivered pursuant to a shipment contract. We will arrange for shipment of the products to you. Please check the individual product page for specific delivery options. You will pay all shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process.
This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier. The delivery and performance dates are estimates only. Cimbali will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the items to the carrier on time for a delivery in accordance with the estimated delivery or performance dates, but those dates may be changed as deemed necessary. Cimbali will not be liable for failure to deliver or perform by the estimated dates. Failure to deliver or perform by the estimated dates does not give you the right to cancel an order or any part thereof nor to claim any damages. Cimbali reserves the right to make partial deliveries.
Please inspect the packaging and/or the products pack on delivery to ensure that the packaging is intact, not wet and not otherwise damaged. If there is any damage to the packaging, you shall place a check reservation note on the courier delivery receipt, as well as notifying us using the contact details set out above.
The nominated courier will deliver our products to you. If no one is available at your delivery address to take delivery, they will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from a local depot.
If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot, the nominated courier will contact you, directly or through us, for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite reasonable efforts, the carrier is unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection and therefore returns the Product to us, we may end the contract with you, and return the purchase price less all cost linked to the absence of collection in due time.
3.2 Transfer of risk
All risk of loss, or damage to the Products shall be transferred to you upon our delivery to carrier.
3.3 Product verification
At the time of the delivery, you are asked to verify that the number of items being delivered corresponds to that indicated on the delivery confirmation and that the Products are intact, undamaged, not wet and unaltered in any manner.
In case you observe damage or missing items, you must notify and file claim with the carrier and notify our Customer Relationship Centre within seven (7) days after the delivery.
4. RETURNS AND AFTER-SALES
4.1 Cancellations
You have the right to return any Product that does not suit you within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the Products.

You are liable for any diminished value of the Products resulting from the handling by you other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Products.
4.2 Effects of withdrawal
When returns are properly completed, Gruppo Cimbali S.p.A. shall reimburse the price of the returned Products and the invoiced delivery charges within a maximum of thirty (30) days upon receipt of the returned Products.

4.3 Warranties
Machines purchased are guaranteed by the machine manufacturer pursuant to the warranty conditions listed in the original Product documentation. Please consult your Product documentation for detailed information on the manufacturer's warranty.
In addition, the statutory warranty provisions in case of defects affecting the products sold (Art. 197 ss. of the Swiss Code of Obligations) apply to the extent not modified in the present General Conditions of Sale. Remedies are limited to the repair or replacement delivery of the defective product, under exclusion of all other remedies. Cimbali shall decide at its own discretion about replacement delivery or rectification of defects. The warranty period is 2 years from receipt of the product if the purchaser is a Consumer and 1 year from receipt if the purchaser is a Business, subject to the buyer having given immediate notice of the defect. If you do not inspect the product or notify us immediately, the goods shall be deemed approved.
4.4 After-Sales Services
You are responsible for the standard maintenance and cleaning of the machine. Given the technical characteristics of the machines and for safety reasons, repairs must only be performed by the manufacturer’s after-sales service personnel, in accordance with the conditions specific to each machine. The manufacturer and Gruppo Cimbali S.p.A. shall be released from any liability resulting from a modification, repair, addition and/or replacement of spare parts on the machine by any person other than the sales service department.
If you encounter any problems or have any questions concerning the functioning, maintenance or after-sales service of your machine, please contact us on [email protected] or in the section “Contact Us” on faema.com for advice and assistance.

6. FORCE MAJEURE
Gruppo Cimbali S.p.A. will make every reasonable effort to fulfil its obligations.

Such circumstances include without limitation strikes and industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riots, wars, natural catastrophes, epidemic, pandemic or any other similar event, including major global shortages of supplies, power or transportation facilities, beyond Gruppo Cimbali S.p.A’s control, that make impracticable or impossible the production, transportation or delivery of Products.

Gruppo Cimbali S.p.A. will perform its obligations as soon as reasonably possible, and it reserves the right to allocate any remaining Product supply among customers in a fair and reasonable manner.
