Terms & Conditions

The present document "Terms and Conditions of Sale" ("T&C") governs the offer and sale of products branded Flos ("Products") through the website shop.flos.com ("Site").


The products marketed through the Site are sold by the company Calicantus S.r.l. ("Seller"), with registered office in Quarto D'Altino (VE), via L. Mazzon, 30 - VAT number 037590272, acting as the official seller on behalf of Flos S.p.A. ("Flos"), with registered office in via Angelo Faini, 2, Bovezzo (BS) - 25073 VAT number 00290820174. The Flos brand is a registered trademark of Flos S.p.A., with registered office in via Angelo Faini, 2 - 25073 Bovezzo (Brescia), Italy.

In this T&C document, "we," "us," or "our" refers to Calicantus S.r.l. while "you" or "your" refers to the person purchasing the Products through the Site.

Please read this "Terms and Conditions" document carefully before placing an order to purchase any Product on the Site. Each time you intend to place an order for purchase, you must declare that you have read, understood, and accepted this T&C document. Your refusal to accept this T&C document will prevent you from placing orders to purchase any Product offered for sale on the Site. Print and keep a copy of this document for future reference.

All your communications concerning inquiries about Products and/or orders placed should be sent to customer.service@flos.com. If a phone number is also provided for the same purpose this will be shown on the dedicated section of the Site.

2. YOUR CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO A SALE CONTRACT

Sales through the Site are aimed primarily at persons acting in their capacity as consumers. This notwithstanding, we may occasionally allow sales to persons acting in their professional capacity.

By placing an order, you declare that:

a)    you are at least 18 years old (if you are a natural person);

b)    you have full legal capacity to enter into a sale contract with the Seller, in particular, and without any limitation thereto, that you are duly empowered by the competent corporate bodies, that you are not subject to any court or administrative orders restraining your capacity and/or that you have the authority to act on behalf of the person that is presented as the actual contractual counterparty and beneficiary of the purchase made.

3. CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT OF ONLINE SALE

3.1. Orders may be placed by you either as a registered user, that has created an account before placing the order, or as a guest user. The creation of a registered user account will enable you to place future orders by logging into the Site without any need for you to provide your details each time you place a new order. The processing of the data in either the case of creation of a registered user account or of purchases made as a guest user is governed by our privacy policy (see art. 12 below) and where appropriate subject to your consent to the processing of data for certain specifically identified purposes.

3.2. The purchase order expresses your intention and request to the Seller to purchase the Product(s) indicated in the relevant order. The purchase order will be deemed issued upon completion by you of the online purchase, as you will be guided to do by following the step-by-step process within the appropriate section of the Site. Upon entering the purchase order, you will receive an e-mail confirming the receipt of the order and detailing the order identification number as well as other relevant details of the Product(s) ordered and namely characteristics of the Products, applicable price, inclusive of VAT (where applicable) and shipment costs (if debited to you) (hereinafter "Order Summary").

3.3. Please note that the Order Summary only acknowledges that we received your purchase and therefore, at that stage, the purchase order will still not be deemed accepted by us. All purchase orders for a Product will be subject to a specific and separate acceptance by us and will be considered accepted (and the contract for the online sale of the Product will consequently be deemed concluded) when you receive a separate e-mail confirming the shipment of the Product (hereinafter "Shipment Confirmation").

3.4. With a single Order, subject to availability of the Product(s), you may request the purchase one or more Products without quantitative limits, if you are acting in your capacity as a consumer, with a minimum order value of £ 135, if you are purchasing in your professional capacity for delivery in the UK.

3.5. The price and other sale conditions displayed on the Site in connection with the Products do not represent a purchase proposal by us addressed to the general public. Therefore, although we strive to meet all of our customers’ request, we may still refuse an order placed by you. In particular, and without any limitation thereto, your order may be refused by us: 

a)    in case of unavailability of the Product(s) ordered; 

b)    if we do not receive the authorization to charge the total applicable cost of the Product(s) to you in accordance with one of the applicable payment methods;

c)    if you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out in paragraph 2 above; 

d)    where at the time of purchase the price indicated is obviously incorrect due to a material error recognisable as such (for example prices too high or too low in relation to the prices ordinarily applied for the same Product unless a promotion is active that can explain the price shown on the Site or wrongly calculated VAT or other applicable taxes).

3.6. Should we refuse an order of yours as indicated under paragraph 3.5 above, you will be so informed by way of an order rejection communication sent to you by email and in the event you have made payment already, you will receive a full refund. Such refund will be made by using the same payment methods that you used to make the payment (see article 6 below) without undue delay and in any event within 10 (ten) working days of the order rejection communication.

3.7. Upon receipt of the Shipment Confirmation, the contract for the on-line sale of the Product(s) (the "Contract") will be considered executed and binding on you and the Seller, except for the case of material and recognizable error concerning the price as per paragraph 3.5 above. In this latter case, we reserve the right to cancel the order and cancel the shipment and you will be contacted to be informed and will receive a refund for the transaction using the same payment methods used by you for the online purchase (see article 6 below) without undue delay and in any event within 10 (ten) working days of the order rejection.

 4.7. You will remain fully responsible for the payment of the Product price and related costs, including shipment costs and taxes as originally agreed, in the event that the returned Product is damaged/malfunctioning due to improper use, negligence, damage or physical, aesthetic or surface alterations, tampering or improper maintenance or wear and tear going beyond what is necessary for you to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Products. Likewise, we will not accept returns of Products that do not match the serial numbers shown in the bill of laden concerning the original delivery. You remain always responsible for the correct usage of the Products purchased online.
