“Consumers” refer to any natural person who accesses the Site for purposes unrelated to any commercial, entrepreneurial or professional activity they may operate.

1. PLACING AND CONFIRMATION OF ORDER

Before finalising a rental agreement, Customer must register on the Site. Registration on the Site is free. In order to finalise a rental agreement, the rental order must be filled in and sent electronically to TWINSET, following the instructions on the Site. Before placing an order, we recommend readin carefully these Conditions, printing a copy or memorising or reproducing a copy for personal use. These Conditions are part of the rental agreement for the clothing on the Site and when placing an order online Customers are deemed to have read and accepted them. The order form, shown immediately before finalising the rental agreement, will include a summary of the essential characteristics of each item ordered, its market value if it were to be sold (“Sale Value”), and the rental price, including the rental fee, the Flat-Rate Contribution (as mentioned below) and delivery charges. Before placing the order, Customers will be warned that once the order is placed, they will be bound to pay the total price shown. The order proposal sent to TWINSET is binding for the Customer. Before submitting the order proposal, Customers will be prompted to check and amend any errors in the data provided. TWINSETreserves the right to reject, at its sole discretion, any rental orders, regardless who they are placed by, that it considers somehow unusual, including without limitation, due to their quality, frequency, method or in general because contrary to its commercial policy. The essential characteristics of the products are presented on the Site in the data sheet of each product. However, the images and colours of the products on offer may vary from the originals, due to the Internet browser, monitor or device used to view them. Once the agreement is finalised, TWINSET will send the Customer an email confirming the order has been received and a summary of its details, which does not constitute automatic and unconditioned acceptance of the order. TWINSET will not accept rental requests from countries in which the online service is not yet active.

2. RENTAL PRICE AND PAYMENT METHODS

All prices for the rental of the products shown on the Site are in Euros and include VAT. These amounts will be highlighted separately, for each product, in the order form and on the order confirmation e-mail.

The Rental Price of a product includes:

• rental fee (the “Fee”);
• a flat-rate amount to cover the risk of damage to Products (the “Flat-Rate Contribution”) of:
• €15 when the Fee is less or equal to €70 or
• €30 when the Fee is over €70.

For sake of clarity, the Flat-Rate Contribution does not cover irreparable damaged products, as better explained in article 7 herein. The Price does not include customs duties, taxes on imports, commissions and brokerage, if applicable based on the order destination. At some destinations, upon arrival in the foreign country, the content of the order may be subject to customs duties (which may include tax, tariffs, management fees, customs brokerage fees, etc.), which shall be borne by the Customer. TWINSET cannot calculate customs duties in advance; therefore, Customers are advised to contact their local authorities or the local Customs House for information before placing an order. Where foreseen, the cost of shipping and transport and any other additional cost, will be clearly indicated and displayed prior to finalising the order. Prices may be subject to changes. The Customer undertakes to ascertain the final sales price prior to placing the order. In the event of obvious errors concerning the prices published on the Site compared to the commonly known price of the chosen product, TWINSE shall have the right not to confirm the order and to proceed to immediately refund the amount paid by the Customer without the them raising any objections thereto. The rental price will be debited when the product is shipped: therefore, when payments are made online using a debit/credit card, no amount will be debited before the shipment date. TWINSET will simply verify the validity of the card as explained below. Payments by debit/credit card are processed via a protected direct connection to the bank that operates the online payment service, to which TWINSET has no access. In particular, payment details(for example, credit card numbers or expiry dates) will be encrypted when sent to the bank that provides the online payment service, therefore they cannot be accessed by third parties. Furthermore, this information will never be used and/or stored by TWINSET in any format (including digital formats). Validity will be verified thanks to a payment pre-authorization. The pre-authorisation does not involve debiting any amount. The rental price is debited to the debit/credit card when the product is shipped, without prejudice to the Customer’s right to a refund should TWINSET fail to comply with its obligations or not perform its contractual duties for whatever reason.

When the order is placed, the customer will be asked to authorise the use of the credit/debit card provided to cover any penalties for late returns or irreparable damages, if applicable, in compliance with articles 6 and 7 herein. The amount will be debited only after the late return or irreparable damage has been confirmed by TWINSET and must occur within maximum 45 days from the date the rented product was returned. after this period, if the amount has not been debited, the card will be automatically released. 

Customers are solely responsible for the data they provide and shall use only payment methods they are legitimated to use.

If the return date is a Saturday or a public holiday, the product can be returned on the morning of the next working day.

If a product is not received 7 days after the Return Date expired, it will be deemed unreturned; therefore, TWINSET shall have the right to charge the Customer a penalty equivalent to the Sales Value of the Product, without prejudice to any compensation claims for greater damage. Should the Customer return the Product before the Rental Date, TWINSET will not refund the difference.

7. DAMAGED PRODUCTS

Once the Customer has returned the Product, TWINSET shall check for any damages within 30 days. Should the checks show repairable damages to the product, the Customer will not be charged any additional amount.

Should the checks show irreparable damages to the product, TWINSET will charge the Customer the Sales Value of the Product, as shown in the Rental Order and in the product data sheet on the Site. It is understood that in this case TWINSET will not return the Flat-Rate Contribution.

8. NO CANCELLATION RIGHTS

The Customer’s right to cancel the agreement provided by articles 52 et seq. of the Consumer Code (as modified by Legislative Decree 21/2014) does not apply, as this type of agreement is included in the exemption provided by art. 59, paragraph 1, letter n) of the Consumer Code (as modified by Legislative Decree 21/2014), due to the fact that it regulates a service pertaining to leisure activities and the contract performance is due within a specific time frame.
