4.1 The Products marketed through the Store are food supplements pursuant to current legislation. The information on the Website, including that relating to the characteristics, properties, and benefits of the Products, is provided on the basis of available knowledge and existing scientific evidence and must be understood exclusively for informational purposes. 4.2 In accordance with applicable legislation on food supplements and commercial communications, it is expressly understood that such Products:
-
are not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases;
-
do not constitute medicines, nor can they be considered as such;
-
do not replace a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. 4.3 The information made available on the Store does not constitute, nor can it be interpreted as, medical or health advice. The Buyer is therefore required to consult a doctor or a qualified healthcare professional before taking the Products, particularly in the presence of specific clinical conditions.
5. REFERENCE TO SCIENTIFIC STUDIES AND LIMITATIONS OF EFFICACY
5.1 The Seller may publish references to scientific studies and research on the Website, including studies conducted in collaboration with academic institutions, including the University of Turin, in order to provide informational support regarding the characteristics of the Products. Such studies must be understood as scientific evidence referring to controlled experimental contexts and do not in any way constitute a guarantee of identical or uniform results for users. 5.2 The Buyer expressly acknowledges that the effects of the Products may vary based on subjective conditions and individual variables, including, but not limited to, health status, physiological characteristics, dietary habits, and lifestyle. Consequently, the Seller assumes no liability in relation to any lack of correspondence between the results indicated in the studies and those actually experienced by the Buyer.

7.1 The Seller provides for the shipment of the Products through designated couriers. The Seller undertakes to deliver the Products to the Place of Delivery expressly indicated by the Buyer when filling out the Order pursuant to Article 3 above. The Buyer assumes full responsibility regarding the correctness of the address indicated for the purposes of this article and agrees that any failed deliveries caused by errors of this type can never be attributed to the Seller nor induce the latter to spend additional sums to carry out a correct delivery. 7.2 Delivery charges are those expressly indicated on the Store and in the Order Confirmation. 7.3 Any delivery terms indicated on the Website are merely indicative and do not constitute an essential element of the contract. Therefore, the Seller shall have the right to reasonably advance or postpone the delivery of all or part of the Products, without this representing, in favor of the Buyer, a valid ground to request the total or partial termination or cancellation of the Order, nor the payment of compensation or indemnity, nor a ground to invoke the Seller's liability for any other reason. 7.4 The Seller cannot and shall never be held liable for delivery delays deriving from defaults by third parties (e.g., carriers in charge of transport) and/or from the occurrence of Force Majeure Events. 7.5 If the Buyer delays, refuses to receive, or defaults in receiving all or part of the Products, the Seller may, at its sole discretion, require the Buyer to execute the Order, or declare its total or partial termination. In both cases, the Seller will retain the right to claim from the Buyer compensation for all losses and damages suffered due to the refusal or default. 7.6 The packaging of the Products will be prepared by the Seller at its exclusive discretion, in the manner deemed most appropriate and suitable to safeguard the integrity of the Products during transport. Except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Seller, the latter can never be held liable for any damages, direct or indirect, deriving from the choice or implementation of the packaging.
8. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

Therefore, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised if the product is opened, used, or if the security seal has been removed or tampered with. 8.4 Without undue delay and in any case within 14 (fourteen) days from the date on which the Buyer communicated to the Seller their decision to withdraw from the Order pursuant to Article 8.2, the Buyer must return the Products to the Seller's premises, or any other site indicated by the Seller in writing, using the original packaging or any other packaging that can guarantee the integrity of the returned Products and following the instructions communicated by the Seller or by the customer care service designated by the same. 8.5 If the right of withdrawal has been exercised in accordance with the provisions of this article, the Seller will duly notify the Buyer and refund the Price paid for the returned Products. Such amounts will be refunded without undue delay and, in any case, within 14 (fourteen) days from the date on which the Seller was informed of the Buyer's decision to withdraw from the Order pursuant to Article 8.2. In any case, the Seller shall have the right to withhold the refund until it has received the Products or until the Buyer has demonstrated that the Products have been shipped, whichever situation occurs first. The Seller will carry out the refund using the same means of payment used by the Buyer to purchase the returned Products. 8.6 Shipping costs for the return of the Products shall be borne entirely by the Buyer. 8.7 The Buyer is liable for any diminished value of the returned Products. 8.8 In the event that the Buyer has not complied with the terms and conditions for exercising the right of withdrawal, the Buyer will not be able to obtain any refund of the sums paid to the Seller.

Without prejudice to the Seller's right to propose an alternative remedy to the Buyer that does not involve excessive expenses, pursuant to current legislation. The costs of returning the Product found to be non-conforming will be borne by the Seller. 10.4 In view of the nature of the Products (food supplements) and the related hygiene and health constraints, the right to replacement or restoration of conformity may be excluded in cases where the Product is found to be: (i) opened, used, or lacking the security seal; (ii) incorrectly stored; (iii) altered with respect to its original state at the time of delivery. In such cases, the defect cannot be considered original nor attributable to the Seller. 10.5 If the Consumer requests the replacement of the Product with shipping to countries located outside the territory of the European Union, the Seller, in consideration of the shipping costs and connected logistical complexities, reserves the right to propose an alternative remedy, such as a refund or price reduction, within the limits permitted by applicable legislation. 10.6 The Seller will not be liable for defects or non-conformities deriving, even indirectly, from one or more of the following circumstances: (i) improper use or non-compliant use of the Product with respect to the instructions provided; (ii) incorrect storage of the Product; (iii) failure to comply with the methods of use or warnings reported; (iv) individual characteristics of the Buyer, including allergies, intolerances, or personal conditions; (v) force majeure events or facts not attributable to the Seller. Any liability for defects that are not original or that arose after delivery due to causes not attributable to the Seller is also excluded. 10.7 Upon receipt of the Complaint, the Seller, also through its customer service or designated parties, will provide feedback to the Buyer within a reasonable time, communicating the operating methods for managing the non-conformity, including any instructions for returning the Product.
