7.2. In the event the Products delivered are of unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described, you shall be entitled to demand that the products conformity be restored either through fixing or replacement of the Product, free of charge, unless the remedy demanded is objectively impossible or excessively onerous compared to the other remedy. If any of the cases provided for by the law applies, you may request a reasonable reduction in price or the termination of the contract and subsequent refund of the purchase price paid. It is understood that you shall lose such right if you do not notify PRADA the lack of conformity of the Product within two (2) years from the delivery of the corresponding Product.

7.3. In order to notify the existence of product defects and lacks of conformity and to demand one of the remedies listed above, you may contact PRADA at the addresses indicated in paragraph 12 below.

8.1. You have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 (fourteen) days of the delivery or collection of the Products, except for the Personalized Products, which are non-returnable for the reasons outlined in paragraph 8.10 unless there is a fault with the Personalized Product, in which case such fault shall be addressed in accordance with paragraph 7 above. For split Orders, the relevant term shall begin on the day of delivery or collection of the latest Product.

8.2. In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, you may use the specific form accessible in the "Returns" section of the Website or directly in the "My Account" section if you are registered on the Website. To this end, you should: (i) fill in the online form with the information required, (ii) apply on the parcel the sticker with the return address found therein, (iii) prompt a withdrawal request to PRADA by sending an email to client.service.eu@church-footwear.com, specifying the address, telephone number and the selected date of collection of the parcel, such date to be confirmed with the courier.
The instructions for product returns shall be provided into each parcel containing the Products purchased.

8.3. In the event you comply with the procedure set forth in the preceding paragraph, the courier appointed by PRADA shall collect the parcel containing the Products to be returned with no charges to you.

8.4. You may also request the address the Products must be returned to by contacting PRADA at the following email address: client.service.eu@church-footwear.com.

8.5. You undertake to return the Products for which you have exercised the relevant right of withdrawal without undue delay and, in any case, within 14 (fourteen) days of the date the exercise of the right of withdrawal is notified to PRADA.

8.6. Products must be returned in the same conditions in which they were delivered. You must therefore ensure that the Products are intact and complete, that they have never been used, worn or damaged in any way, and returned in their original packaging, equipped with all the labels they were received with. In case a Product was provided with a security tag, the return of this Product will not be accepted if the original security tag has been removed, broken or damaged. You are also informed that, based on security and hygienic-sanitary reasons, perfumes cannot be returned if the sealing cellophane and the original packaging have been opened, damaged, altered or removed. PRADA shall check the packaging and conditions of each Product returned, being the substantial integrity of such Products an essential requirement for the exercise of the right of withdrawal.
PRADA reserves the right to reject the return of such Products that should result to have been damaged, deteriorated, stained or appear to be in a condition that unequivocally shows that they have been used for purposes other than for those verifications by you strictly necessary to ascertain the nature and features of the Product purchased.
In the event the return is rejected, PRADA shall send a specific notice to you and shall consequently not proceed to credit the amount paid by you, reserving as well the right to claim compensation for any damage attributable to your behaviour.

8.7. PRADA shall refund any amounts due for the Products returned without undue delay and in any case within 14 (fourteen) days of the date on which PRADA becomes aware of the exercise by you of the right of withdrawal.
In any event, PRADA reserves the right to withhold the refund either until receipt and verification of the Product or until proof by you that you have returned the product duly and in intact conditions, whichever occurs first.
The aforementioned refund shall be made by crediting the amount paid by you with the same payment method used for the purchase, unless otherwise expressly agreed by you and provided that no additional costs are incurred as a result of the refund.
PRADA shall inform you by email of refund of the amount.

8.8. PRADA shall not be under the obligation to refund the delivery costs of the Products in the event you have specifically selected a delivery method other than the standard delivery offered by PRADA.

8.9. The return of Products under this section is only permitted in respect of purchases made on the Website.

8.10. In consideration of the fact that the Personalized Products are products permanently modified, and personalized specifically for you, and that their original form cannot in any way be restored, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised by you in relation to any Personalized Products. Accordingly, the provisions contained in this paragraph 8 will not apply to the Personalized Product, being understood that the exclusion of the Personalized Products from the right of withdrawal will not affect the application of the legal guarantees, provided for in the above paragraph 7, also to such Products.

9.1. If PRADA fail to comply with these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, PRADA is responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of PRADA breaking this contract or PRADA failing to use reasonable care and skill, but PRADA is not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.

9.2. You agree not to use the Products for any commercial, business or re-sale purposes, and PRADA has no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity. PRADA only supplies the Products for domestic and private use. If you use the Products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose PRADA will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

9.3. PRADA does not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so.

9.4. Subject to paragraph 9.3, and to the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you in respect of all other foreseeable losses arising under or in connection with the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall in no circumstances exceed the total price of the Products per Order.
