The complaint should be sent to the vendor within 14 days of the discovery of visible faults, and within 90 days in the event of faults which are not immediately visible. Together with the complaint, the products considered to be faulty should be returned to the vendor at his/her expense. Complaints, replacements and reimbursements are only possible in the case of the lengths not having been altered, processed, cut or sewn. Faults or defects are not accepted with regard to the conformity of the fabric in comparison to the sample already seen, which may be due to intrinsic characteristics of the fabric (e.g. dyeing, coming from different batches, weaving, spinning or finishing techniques, etc.).

6. Conformity of the goods/faults

Drapers s.r.l. is committed to selling products of high quality and for which it guarantees compliance with technical norms and current legal requirements. It is under this aspect of transparency and consumer protection that Drapers s.r.l. would like to specify that the images of the fabrics according to which the customer’s online choices are made represent the fabrics and their characteristics, but they do not necessarily belong to the same piece or dyeing batch from which the sample was taken, and therefore may in such cases present minimal variations and differences which do not represent a fault or defect in the fabric, but are intrinsic characteristics which depend on the spinning, dyeing, finishing and any other process the product undergoes by the manufacturer or Drapers s.r.l. supplier.

7. Protection of the trademark, brand name, distinctive characteristics, design and fabrics

The purchaser is not authorised for any reason whatsoever to use or reproduce the trade marks, names and distinctive characteristics of Drapers s.r.l. products, of which Drapers s.r.l. is the sole and exclusive proprietor. Neither is the purchaser authorised to assert that these are his/her property. The transfer of lengths of fabric with the Drapers s.r.l. selvedge does not constitute a transfer of the right of use of the relative trademark, but solely and exclusively a transfer of the fabric with such selvedge. The same also applies to reproduction, either materially or digitally, of designs or fabrics, unless previous agreement and explicit consent has been given by the vendor. Moreover, downloading the website or parts thereof is strictly forbidden (images and/or contents), as is the modification, transfer or reproduction (even if only partial) of the images, pages and contents of the website and in the most ample acceptance possible, any use of the website, the images, pages and contents thereof which has not been previously authorised by the vendor, including framing and meta tagging.

8. Termination.

Pursuant to these sales conditions, the vendor is permitted to act for the termination of the contract according to Article 1456 ff, without prejudice to compensation for damages.

Moreover, Drapers s.r.l. retains the right to terminate the contract or to demand a guarantee for its execution in the following cases, which are given as examples only and are not an exhaustive list: capital insolvency, bankruptcy proceedings against the purchaser, closure, transformation or corporate merger, suspension of or delay in payments in spite of receipt of reminders.
