Lyria sells its Products to Customers who have reached the age of majority.

All the Purchase Proposals sent to the Seller and returns made by Customers must correspond to normal consumption needs, therefore Lyria monitors the number of Proposals sent and returns made.

Formulating the purchase proposal in guest mode or creating a user account

In order to make a Purchase Proposal, the User may either authenticate theirself by creating a personal Account or proceed in Guest mode.

For further information, please consult our policy on the processing of personal data, which can be found at this link. .

When a Personal Account is created, the aforementioned information may be stored and made available for subsequent authentication of the User. In case of Guest access, on the other hand, the data will be stored only to complete the purchase procedure of the individual Product and for contractual and accounting purposes related to the purchase.

When completing the registration and/or Guest access procedure, the User agrees to follow the instructions on the Website and to provide their personal data in a correct and truthful way. Lyria is exempt from any responsibility regarding the data provided by the User.

Users who violate these Terms and Conditions or any other law will have their access credentials removed.

For security reasons, the system will request a password change every 6 months.

Registered Users may delete their Account at any time.

Purchasing process

In order to complete the order through the Website, the Customer must place the Product(s) chosen in the Shopping Cart and send the Seller, electronically, a Purchase Proposal by filling out the form available on the Website following link and following the relevant instructions.

The Customer will be guided step by step in the choice of Products and in the formulation of the Purchase Proposal.

The Product sheets contain the following elements:

• images of the Product (which may not correspond to the real ones, with regard to colours and finishes, due to the different Internet browsers and/or monitors used for viewing);
• name and detailed description of the proposed Product;
• indication of all the essential characteristics of the Product (e.g. composition, colours, dimensions, place of manufacture);
• suggestions of any similar Products;
• the price inclusive of taxes;
• a link to the contact details page of the Seller;
• the possibility to share the page on social networks.

The chosen Product will be placed in the Shopping Cart, which gives the Customer a summary containing:

• the main characteristics of the Product
• the selected quantity;
• the total price of the Product, including taxes and shipping, delivery or postal charges and any other cost that can be quantified in advance. If such costs cannot reasonably be calculated in advance, the Seller shall inform the Customer that, in any case, the aforementioned costs shall be borne exclusively by the latter;
• the possibility of entering a promotional code that the Customer may have;
• the choice to proceed to checkout with Paypal.

Once the "Proceed with checkout" button has been selected, the Customer will be directed to a guided procedure to confirm the Purchase Proposal, divided into 4 sections:

Section I - personal information

In this section the User will see:

• a summary of the information already present in the Shopping Cart;
• the possibility of entering a promotional code
• a form for their personal data (title, first name, surname, e-mail), with the possibility of registering and creating an Account, indicating a password to access it.

Section II - Addresses

In this section the User, if they are Guest, shall enter their shipping and/or billing addresses (if different), as well as their identification data. They shall select the special box to enter a billing address different from the shipping one.

If the User has previously created an Account, this section will show the data already entered and, if necessary, the possibility to modify them.

Section III - Shipping methods

By clicking on the "Continue" button, the Customer will be redirected to the page illustrating the shipping methods, where they can choose between different methods and find for each method the cost (including taxes and duties) as well as an indication that the cost of returning the goods, in case of withdrawal, shall be borne by them.

On the same page, the Customer can fill in an appropriate form to make special requests to the Seller or tick the option to receive the Product in a gift package.

The costs for the return of the goods shall be borne by the Consumer, including those for taxes, duties and customs tariffs that may be applied by the destination country and that cannot be calculated in advance.

Section IV - Payment methods

After clicking on the "Continue" button, the Customer will be directed to the payment methods page, where he can choose between using Paypal or credit card.

After receiving all the information described above, the Customer must accept these General Terms and Conditions of sale and click on the "Order with an obligation to pay" button, if they decide to proceed with the forwarding of the purchase order. In this way, the Customer will be directed to the platform of the chosen payment system, where he must indicate the data required by Paypal or the bank that manages the electronic payment instruments.

In case of payment by credit card, the Customer will be addressed to a summary page, where he can find the total cost of the Order, with the possibility to confirm it or choosing a different paying method.

The Proposal will be archived on our systems for the time necessary to process it and, in any case, not beyond the legal terms. Users who have created their own Account will have the possibility to consult the personal area of their profile.

By transmitting the Order Proposal, the Customer confirms that they also know and accept the further information contained on the Website, possibly also through links, including terms and conditions of use of the Website, the privacy policy and the information on withdrawal.

After sending the Proposal, the Customer shall receive, at the e-mail address provided, a communication containing a summary of the order and a confirmation that the Seller has correctly received the Proposal. The receipt of the aforementioned communication does not constitute acceptance of the Proposal made by the Client. The price for the purchase of the Products and the shipping costs, as indicated in the order proposal, will be charged only when the Products are shipped.

The Contract of Sale is considered concluded when the Seller notifies the Customer, by e-mail, the Order Confirmation. These notifications will also contain a link to the general terms and conditions and the information on withdrawal.

The Seller has the right not to accept the Customer's purchase proposal, if this does not give sufficient guarantees of solvency or it is incomplete or incorrect, or in case of unavailability of the Products or excessive onerousness in the execution of the order. In these cases, Lyria will communicate the non-conclusion of the contract.

Prices, shipping costs, taxes and duties
The prices of all the Products on sale are indicated in Euros and include Italian taxes and duties.
Before placing the order, the Customer may choose between several types of shipment, the price of which will be commensurate with the delivery time and expressly indicated in the choice phase.
The costs associated with specific existing taxes or duties in the country of destination, or for customs duties and tariffs, cannot be quantified in advance by the Seller and remain therefore expressly on charge of the Customer, who is obliged to bear them in order to receive the Product purchased.
The Seller cannot be held responsible in any way for non-delivery of the Product due to Customer's intention not to pay duties and tariffs imposed by the customs authorities of the Product's destination country.
Similarly, the Customer is responsible for any taxes, shipping taxes, duties and customs fees that may be applied to shipments made to return the purchased Product to the Seller, according to the right of withdrawal or contractual termination.

Methods of payment
For payment of the price of the Products and the relative shipping and delivery costs, the Customer may choose to pay by credit card or PayPal. In no case will costs be charged higher than those actually incurred by the Seller, in relation to the payment method chosen.
In case of payment by credit card, the financial information (for example, the credit/debit card number or the date of its expiry) shall be forwarded, via encrypted protocol, to operators who provide the relative remote electronic payment services, without third parties having any access thereto in any way.
The price for the purchase of the Products and the shipping costs, as indicated in the order proposal, will be charged only when the purchased Products are shipped.
If it is not possible to charge the price owed by the Customer, it will not be possible to conclude the contract and the order will be cancelled.
The invoice is sent together with the Communication of order confirmation.

The Seller shall dispatch the Products once the order has been confirmed and payment for the same has been successfully made.
In the communication of Order Confirmation the Customer will receive an order number to follow all the steps of the shipment, also through their Account.
The Products will be delivered by the Courier to the shipping address indicated by the Customer at the time of filling out the Purchase Proposal.
The Seller will make the delivery without undue delay, within the time provided by law, making every reasonable commercial effort. The deadline indicated at the time of the order cannot in any case be considered essential in relation to the delivery of any product.
Without prejudice to any other rights recognised by these General Terms and Conditions and by the applicable Laws, the Customer shall have the right to cancel the order and receive a refund of the price paid if the Seller, due to their own negligence, is unable to deliver the Product within the term provided by Law.
In case of non-delivery of the Product, for reasons attributable to the Customer, it will be returned to the Seller who will charge the Customer the costs incurred for storage and shipping.
Lyria shall have the right to terminate the contract, withholding the sums by way of further costs incurred.
In general, the Seller shall not be liable in any way for non-deliveries due to Customer's omissions, including non-payment of taxes, duties and customs tariffs applicable in the country of destination, which shall be borne exclusively by the Customer.
The Seller discharges its obligation to deliver the Products at the time when the availability of the Products is transferred to the Customer, who at the same time also bears the risk of loss or damage.

Product warranties and conformity
As provided for by the existing regulations, all the Products sold to Consumer Customers are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity for a duration of two (2) years from the delivery of the goods. Since the discovery of the defect, the Customer may report it to the Seller within two (2) months from the discovery. The provisions of Title III, Chapter I of Legislative Decree no. 206/2005 (Consumer Code) shall apply.

In the presence of conformity defects, the Consumer shall have the right to request the repair or replacement of the Product. In the event that such remedies are not possible or are excessively onerous, the Consumer shall have the right to a reduction of the price paid or to the termination of the sale contract (art. 130 of the Consumer Code).

The essential characteristics of the Products sold on Lyria's Website are described within each product sheet. The images and colours of the Products presented may however not correspond to the real ones due to the effect of the Internet browsers and/or monitors used.

Lyria's Products are unique handcrafted pieces, made with a production process that guarantees their authenticity and originality, and are by their nature subject to imperfection. Any discrepancies in the design or colours of the purchased Product, compared to the model presented in the product sheet, do not affect its functionality and image, and cannot therefore be considered defects or lack of conformity pursuant to the Consumer Code, as these discrepancies are merits that highlight its uniqueness, high quality and craftsmanship.

Force majeure
The Seller shall not be liable in any way for any non-fulfilment or delay of any of the obligations assumed with the Contract of Sale, where these result from events of force majeure not attributable to Lyria.

In the absence of proof to the contrary, the following events shall be presumed to be events of force majeure, i.e. beyond the reasonable and possible control of the Seller: (i) war (whether declared or not), hostilities, invasion, acts of a foreign enemy, extensive military mobilisation; (ii) civil war, riot, rebellion, revolution, military or usurped power, insurrection, acts of terrorism, sabotage or piracy; (iii) currency or trade restrictions, embargo, sanctions; (iv) acts of the authority, whether lawful or unlawful, compliance with laws or governmental orders, regulations, expropriation, confiscation of property, requisitioning, nationalisation; (v) plague, epidemic, natural disasters or extreme natural events; (vi) explosion, fire, destruction of equipment, prolonged suspension of transport, telecommunications or energy; (vii) generalised social conflicts, such as in particular boycotts, strikes and lock-outs, work-to-rule, occupation of factories and buildings.

If a force majeure event should occur and affect the performance of the Seller's obligations under the Contract, the Customer shall be contacted as soon as possible in order to notify them of the circumstance. Lyria's obligations under the Contract shall be suspended and the time limits for their fulfilment shall start again once the force majeure event has ceased.

If the force majeure event lasts for more than sixty (60) days, Customer and Seller shall be entitled to request termination of the contract by notifying the other party within ten (10) days.

Competent court and applicable law
Without prejudice to the application of the mandatory regulations of European derivation for the protection of the Consumer, the present general terms and conditions of sale are interpreted and regulated by Italian law and in particular by the Civil Code, the Consumer Code and Legislative Decree no. 70/2003.

For any dispute that may arise in relation to what is indicated in the present general terms and conditions or with reference to the purchases concluded by a Consumer through the Lyria Website, the Italian jurisdiction shall be applied and the competent Court shall be the Court of the place in which the Consumer has the domicile or residence according to the applicable law or, at their choice, the Court of Prato.
