- check that the number of packages being delivered corresponds to what is indicated on the courier's proof of delivery;
- check that the packaging is intact, not damaged, wet or otherwise altered, even in the sealing materials (adhesive tape or metal strapping);
ATTENTION: in the event that a situation similar to those listed above should arise, the courier's proof of delivery must be signed by affixing the SPECIFIC CONTROL RESERVE, or it is necessary to indicate the REASON FOR THE RESERVE.
Below are examples of how to apply the specific reserve by applying your digital signature on the courier's PDA.
Since it is possible that the courier, despite the customer's explicit request, only selects the generic reserve (which is not valid for the purposes of opening the insurance case) we suggest indicating the type of anomaly found directly in the signature, followed by a short signature , such as your initials.
Examples:
WITHOUT SPECIFIC CONTROL RESERVE THE CUSTOMER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DISPUTE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE BOXES' CONTENTS AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE USE OF THE INSURANCE COVER AGAINST DAMAGES AND THEFT .
The only way to be able to dispute any hidden damage that can only be discovered after opening the package and therefore starting the refund or replacement procedure is to SIGN THE COURIER'S PROOF OF DELIVERY SUBJECT TO INSPECTION SPECIFYING THE REASON FOR THE RESERVE. Any problems relating to the physical integrity, correspondence or completeness of the products received must be reported within 7 calendar days of delivery, according to the procedures set out in this document.
The delivery of what is ordered is understood to be at street level except for:
- different communication from our customer service;
- what is foreseen in the technical data sheet of the product;
- the explicit purchase of delivery to the floor, where applicable.
17. In the event of non-collection within 5 working days of the material in storage at the courier's warehouses due to repeated inability to deliver to the address indicated by the Customer at the time of the order, the ordered goods will be returned to the Mediaweb warehouses Group Ltd
18. Pursuant to art. 52 of the Consumer Code, if the Customer is a consumer (i.e. a natural person who purchases the goods for purposes not related to his professional activity, or does not make the purchase by indicating a VAT number in the order form to Vinopuro) , has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract for any reason, without the need to provide explanations and without any penalty, except as indicated in the following points 19 and 21 .
19. To exercise this right, the customer must send Vinopuro a communication to that effect within 14 days from the date of receipt of the goods. The customer must inform Vinopuro of his decision to exercise the right of withdrawal by sending an explicit declaration (for example a letter sent by post, fax, registered mail, e-mail) addressed to: Mediaweb Group srl Via R. Sanzio, 18 20090 – Cesano Boscone (Milan ). The burden of proof relating to the exercise of the right of withdrawal in accordance with art. 54 of the Consumer Code is incumbent on the consumer.
Once we have received the aforementioned notice of withdrawal, the Vinopuro Customer Service will quickly inform the customer of the instructions on how to return, assigning a unique DR code for the return of the goods, which must reach Mediaweb Group srl within 10 days of authorization. The goods must be returned intact, unused, complete with all its parts and in the original packaging (envelopes and boxes), in compliance with the conditions of the following points 19 and 21 . Vinopuro will refund the customer within 14 days of returning the goods.
20. The right of withdrawal is in any case subject to the following conditions:
- ATTENTION: Vinopuro personnel are not authorized to collect goods whose packaging does not bear the DR number.

- the shipment, until the certificate of receipt in our warehouse, is under the complete responsibility of the customer;
- in the event of damage to the goods during transport, Vinopuro will notify the customer of the incident (within 5 working days of receipt of the goods in its warehouses), to allow him to promptly file a complaint against the courier of his choice and obtain reimbursement of the value of the asset (if insured); in this case, the product will be made available to the customer for its return, simultaneously canceling the request for withdrawal;
- Mediaweb Group srl is not liable in any way for damage or theft/loss of goods returned with uninsured shipments;
21. Without prejudice to any repair costs for ascertained damage to the original packaging, Mediaweb Group srl will refund the customer the amount paid for the purchase of the goods, by transferring the amount charged to the Credit Card, Paypal account or by bank transfer. In the latter case, it will be the customer's responsibility to promptly provide the bank details on which to obtain the refund (IBAN Code and Bank of the invoice holder).
22. The right of withdrawal is lost entirely, due to lack of the essential condition of integrity of the goods (packaging and/or its contents), in cases where Mediaweb Group srl ascertains:
- return of a product different from the one sold;
- opened, damaged or tampered with bottle and seals
- damage to the product for reasons other than its transport. In the event of forfeiture of the right of withdrawal, the goods will remain at the headquarters of Mediaweb Group srl, available to the Customer for collection at his expense.

- made-to-measure or clearly personalized products
- sealed products that are not suitable for return for hygienic reasons related to health protection, which have been opened after delivery.
Warranties
