The beyond.luxury Platform is a website that aims to provide the opportunity for its Users to purchase high quality products and services, within the luxury sector. The Products are understood to be offered by our Partners, which we have carefully selected to offer the best experience to our Users. The Site is intended only for Users who are 18 years of age or older. A user of the Site ("User(s)") is considered to be each of the individuals set forth in Section 2.1 below.
The General Terms and Conditions must be accepted by the User when registering on the Site, in order to benefit from its contents and to proceed with the purchase of Products. This Introduction shall be considered an integral part of the General Conditions.


1. Site name and ownership of the domain name
The Site is owned by beyond.luxury Sagl ("beyond.luxury"), which is also the owner of the relevant domain name.


2. Subjective and objective scope of application of the General Conditions
2.1 Purchases made through this Site constitute a distance contract for the sale of Products, concluded between beyond.luxury and:
A. the consumer or user ("Consumer") meaning, "the natural person acting for purposes unrelated to any entrepreneurial, commercial, craft or professional activity carried out"; or
B. the professional ("Professional"), meaning "the natural person acting in the exercise of his or her trade, business, craft or profession, or an intermediary thereof"; or
C. the person who "for professional or non- professional purposes, uses an information society service, in particular to search for or make accessible information". The latter category
includes all legal entities that purchase the Products being sold on this Site and defined, for the purposes of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, as a "Company." 2.2 The applicable General Conditions are those in effect on the date the purchase order is sent and are available in Italian and English.
2.3 Should any provision contained in these General Conditions be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, the same shall not affect the validity and/or effectiveness of the other contractual provisions.
2.4 These Terms and Conditions do not govern the sale of products and/or services by parties other than those on the Platform and available for purchase within the Platform.
2.5 Excluded from the scope of the GTC are all those products and services of third parties that may be visible on the Site, but are located outside it and to which the User can access through banners and/or hyperlinks (e.g. booking hotellerie services). Such modes of communication represent for beyond.luxury an autonomous and distinct channel of sales, over which beyond.luxury does not exercise any control. beyond.luxury is in no way responsible for the provision of services and/or sale of products by such parties. Before conducting business transactions with such parties, you are invited to check their terms and conditions of sale.


3. Changes and/or variations of the General Conditions
3.1 Before making a purchase, the Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company is required to read carefully all the information beyond.luxury provides to him/her through the Site, both before and during the purchase process, as well as to review these General Conditions, which beyond.luxury makes available in the "Terms and Conditions" section of the Site.
3.2 The General Conditions may be amended at any time to keep them in conformity with the legislative and regulatory provisions that may intervene, or even in order to offer different and additional products, compared to those currently on sale.
3.3 Any amendments and/or new conditions will be in force from the moment they are published on the Site in the "General Terms and Conditions of Sale" section, indicating the date they were updated. Users are therefore invited to regularly access the Site and consult the most updated version of the General Conditions before making any purchase.


II. SITE REGISTRATION, PURCHASE AND DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS


4. Site registration and personal account management
4.1 In order to browse and enjoy the services offered within the Site, you do not need to complete the Registration process. The purchase of Products is possible after having made the Registration. Registration is free of charge. Users who register on the Site will have to provide certain personal data and follow all the steps from the procedure ("Registration"). Upon Registration, the User will be asked to choose a username and password, which the User agrees not to give even temporarily to third parties and to keep with due care, diligence, and secrecy under its own responsibility, constituting these credentials the only means to identify the User and to validate its accesses to the offers. Each User is solely responsible for the accuracy and/or completeness of the personal data provided during the conclusion of the contract. The User is therefore informed that all acts performed by said credentials, will be attributed to him and will be binding on him. It is also forbidden to communicate data relating to third persons, false, invented, fictitious and/or in any way, not corresponding to the truth.
4.2 Registration allows the User to access the personal area called "Account" ("Registered Area"). In the Restricted Area, the User can consult at any time its data provided at the time of Registration, its shopping cart containing Products not yet purchased and the list of Products purchased.
4.3 The User is obliged to inform beyond.luxury immediately of any unauthorized or improper use of its access credentials or to report any violations by third parties. If beyond.luxury finds violations, it may at its discretion inhibit access, permanently delete the information contained therein or refuse the opening of new accounts by the same User.
4.4 At any time the User may update and/or modify or request the deletion of the information released during Registration. In the event of a request for cancellation, however, beyond.luxury may temporarily retain, in whole or in part, such information, for the sole purpose of executing any purchases made and/or being able to conclude accounting and tax procedures.


5. Information on the conclusion of the contract
5.1 Products may be sold either through a permanent catalog, or through promotions whereby the availability of products and services is subject to quantity and/or time limits.

5.3 The contract is concluded once the successful completion of the payment has been verified. Following the conclusion of the contract, beyond.luxury will send to the Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company, to the e-mail address indicated during the purchase phase, the order confirmation.

By submitting orders, the User guarantees that the ordering party and, if different, the recipient of the goods are both over the age of 18.
6.3 The images accompanying the information sheets of a product or an offer may not be perfectly representative of its characteristics but differ in color, size and accessories present in the picture. All purchase support information is intended as mere generic information material, and therefore not referable to the actual characteristics of an individual offer.
6.4 beyond.luxury reserves the right to refuse or cancel orders that come (i) from a Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company with whom it has ongoing litigation, whether judicial or extrajudicial; (ii) from a Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company who has previously violated these General Conditions; (iii) from a Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company who has been involved in fraud of any kind and, in particular, in fraud relating to credit card payments; (iv) by a Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company who has issued false, invented, fictitious, incomplete or otherwise inaccurate identification data and/or in any way not corresponding to the truth or referring to third persons; (v) by a Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company who has violated the prohibition set forth in Art. 6.5 below; (vi) in case of inability of the Partner to supply the Product purchased. In such cases, beyond.luxury will inform the User as soon as possible and, if the User has paid the price, such amount will be refunded.
6.5 In relation to each purchase through the Site, the relevant invoice will be issued, and subsequently sent, to the Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company via email, based on the data communicated by the same in the purchase order. The invoicing of the purchased products will be done by the Partner and sent together with the Product, inside the packaging. The Consumer and / or Professional and / or Company agrees to hold beyond.luxury harmless and indemnified from any damages, compensation obligations and / or penalties that may arise and / or be imposed on the same in the event that such information is not accurate and / or not true. No changes in the invoice will be possible after the invoice has been issued.


7. Prices
7.1 Prices are in Euros and are inclusive of VAT. beyond.luxury reserves the right to apply discounts and promotions to Users.
7.2 The shipping costs of the Products may be of a fixed amount or variable, calculated according to the number of items selected and/or the destination address of the goods and/or any customs and/or tax charges. Shipping costs may also be included in the sale price of some items or be free in the cases provided by beyond.luxury. However, the User is always informed of the amount of shipping costs before concluding the purchase procedure and making the payment.
7.4 The validity of promotional offers may be subject to quantity or time limitations, after which, they may no longer be available. beyond.luxury may change the duration or quantity of an offer at any time at its discretion, provided that it will follow up on orders placed during the validity of a particular offer. An offer may be published multiple times over time. In some cases, it is possible that the availability of an asset ends at a time after the purchase: in these cases beyond.luxury will refund the User, if the conditions are met. It is also possible that for some offers of goods, a specific variant is not guaranteed and the User will be asked to specify one or more preferences at the time of purchase: in such circumstances, the User is aware that he/she may receive a different variant of the product than the one chosen at the time of purchase.


8. Methods of payment
8.1 beyond.luxury will receive payment for the Products in trust on behalf of Partner. Payment for the Products may be made by the following methods:
A. PayPal
In this case, the Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company will authorize PayPal to proceed with the payment at the request of beyond.luxury in accordance with the procedure provided for and governed by PayPal, the terms and conditions of the contract agreed between it and the Consumer/Professional/Business.
B. Bank Transfer
The bank details for making the bank transfer will be provided by beyond.luxury for the purpose of finalizing the contract. To facilitate the link between the payment received by bank transfer and the order placed, the Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company is asked to indicate in the reason for the bank transfer the order number, as indicated in the order confirmation email.
C. Other payment methods
Other payment methods accepted by beyond.luxury for payment of the Products (e.g. credit card and/or debit/prepaid card) may be indicated on the Site. In this case, the Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company will authorize the chosen service provider to proceed with the payment at the request of beyond.luxury according to the procedure provided for and governed by, the terms and conditions of the contract agreed between the same and the Consumer/Professional/Company.
8.2 Unless otherwise specified in the terms of the offer, the amounts due will be charged upon confirmation of payment. beyond.luxury will arrange shipment of the Products only after receiving confirmation of successful payment (i.e. in respect of payment by bank transfer upon collection of the amount due).
In the event that the payment is not successful, beyond.luxury will inform by e-mail the Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company who may:
• proceed with payment again using the same method; or
• proceed again with the payment using a different method than the one previously used but still falling within those indicated in Article 8.1.
If payment by credit card and/or debit/prepaid card and/or Paypal is not successful, the Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company must proceed to pay for the Products by bank transfer. If payment is not successful by any of the above methods, the order will be considered terminated pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 1456 of the Italian Civil Code and the Consumer and/or Professional and/or Company will be notified by e-mail.
In all cases, the User is solely responsible for any incorrect and/or incomplete general information or delivery address, resulting in the possibility of loss of the amount paid if the Products are delivered to strangers.
8.3 beyond.luxury does not store payment security data (e.g.: credit card numbers), which are processed by the relevant payment service providers. In fact, the actual payment takes place after transferring the User to a protected and encrypted page of the banking service. Only after the transaction is completed, the banking service provider communicates to beyond.luxury the result of the payment, without providing any of the information regarding the credit card used. For this reason, beyond.luxury has no power over the possible rejection of the credit card used for payment. beyond.luxury cannot therefore be held responsible in any way for direct or indirect consequences arising from the use of the credit card by the user to make payment for the products and/or services purchased.


9. Shipping and delivery
9.1 beyond.luxury accepts orders with international delivery within the European territory. beyond.luxury, unless otherwise specified on the product sheet on the Site, undertakes to deliver the goods within 14 working days, which run from the date of the order to the date of the first delivery attempt.
9.2 The Product will be shipped by Partner. The User may be informed by the Partner, via e-mail, when the product is shipped. In the remote event that the merchandise becomes unavailable for any reason after receipt of the order, a refund of any payment received will be issued, without charge to the User.
9.3 The User will be notified, if available, of the name of the carrier and the tracking code of the shipment (Waybill or "Tracking"), through which it will be possible to follow its status. beyond.luxury cannot guarantee that multiple products purchased at the same time will be delivered in a single shipment, nor that any different shipments will arrive at their destination at the same time. It is not possible to guarantee a precise date or time of delivery as this depends on the courier chosen by the Partner, the destination address and the person in charge of delivery. beyond.luxury cannot therefore be held responsible for any direct or indirect consequences arising from these timelines. Delivery of what has been ordered is intended, unless otherwise specified during the purchase process, at street level.
9.3 beyond.luxury asks its Partners to use only packaging suitable to guarantee the integrity of the Product and approved by the chosen courier. In any case, upon delivery of the goods by the courier, the User will be required to verify that the packaging is intact, undamaged, or otherwise altered, including in the sealing materials (adhesive tape or strapping) or that there is no spillage of liquid, in the case of wines and spirits. Any damage to the packaging and/or the product must be immediately challenged by the User, by placing a written control reserve (and specifying the reason for the reserve, e.g. "Punctured packaging", "Crushed packaging", etc.) on the courier's delivery document. Once this document has been signed, the User may no longer make any objection about the characteristics of what has been delivered.
9.4 In case of non-delivery of the goods within the specified time, the User will be required to notify beyond.luxury, which will verify with the courier, the status of the shipment and any anomaly. Following a documented shipping anomaly (e.g. package lost or destroyed in transit), beyond.luxury will resend the product, subject to availability of the same in stock, without further expense or aggravation for the User, or to refund the order in full in case of non-availability.
