YOU ARE BUYING FROM STIMA PRO – ITALIA

Expertise, transparency and a commitment to authenticity are the foundations of our work. Our aim is to offer an informed purchasing experience, accurate descriptions, and assistance before and after the sale.

Items are subject to checks appropriate to their nature, with the support of Dr Erika Barbero, a professional registered on the expert registers of the Court of Cuneo and with the Collegio Periti Italiani. These registrations relate to the professional’s qualifications and do not constitute approval of any individual item by the Court or the brands represented.

AUTHENTICITY, CONDITION AND DOCUMENTATION

Verifying condition and authenticity is central to our work. Gold and silver jewellery, silverware, watches, designer clothing and accessories are examined according to the characteristics of each individual item and the documentation available.

Any certificates or expert reports are provided when expressly stated in the description, or may be requested before bidding, subject to agreement on availability, content and any costs. Catawiki’s expert review is separate from our appraisal work and does not replace an individual certificate.

The description and photographs document the item offered, its accessories and its stated condition. For used or vintage items, signs of age and use are assessed in relation to the item’s nature, period and condition. The photographs supplement the description and do not limit liability for inaccurate details or undisclosed defects.

Only the accessories and documents expressly listed are included. The trademarks mentioned belong to their respective owners; they are cited to identify the items and do not imply any affiliation with or authorization by the fashion house.

PREPARATION, SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Each item is checked, cleaned or sanitized using methods compatible with its materials and preservation, then carefully packaged.

Shipping is tracked and insured according to the terms of the service used. Items may be located in different warehouses: please allow approximately 7–10 days for delivery, unless otherwise stated in the order, for unusual destinations or due to customs processing times. The item will be shipped within the time limits set by Catawiki and communicated for the order; the estimated delivery time does not extend the shipping deadline.

On receipt, please check the packaging. If there are dents, cuts, openings or breaks, ask the courier to note a specific reservation, where possible. We recommend photographing the parcel before and after opening and keeping the packaging, protective materials and label to help with any insurance checks.

The absence of a reservation, photographs or packaging does not automatically result in the loss of the consumer’s mandatory rights. For consumer sales, transport risk is governed by Article 63 of the Consumer Code.

ASSISTANCE AND REPORTING ISSUES

If you have any questions or encounter a problem, contact us through the Catawiki order messaging system, providing the lot number and describing what you have found.

In the event of damage, an item not matching its description or missing contents, promptly report the issue to Catawiki Support as well, preferably immediately and in any case within the 3 days provided for by the platform’s procedure, so that the claim can be handled and payment may be suspended if necessary.

This operational deadline does not result in the loss of the right of withdrawal or the legal guarantee within the applicable time limits.

CONSUMER’S RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

Where the buyer is acting as a consumer and the legal requirements are met, they may withdraw from the purchase without giving a reason within 14 days of receiving the item, pursuant to Articles 52 et seq. of Legislative Decree No. 206/2005, subject to the exceptions provided by law.

The decision must be communicated to the seller by means of an explicit statement, including through the Catawiki procedure. The item must be sent back within 14 days of communicating the withdrawal.

In the case of a change of mind alone, the direct cost of return is borne by the buyer, unless otherwise agreed. Amounts due under the law will be refunded, including the cost of the initial standard delivery; any additional costs for a more expensive delivery option chosen by the buyer are not refundable.

The refund will be made without undue delay and within the statutory time limits. It may be withheld until the item or proof of its return has been received, in accordance with the conditions set out in the applicable legislation. Amounts collected directly by Catawiki are handled through the platform within its respective remit, without prejudice to mandatory rights.

The buyer is liable for any diminished value resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish the item’s nature, characteristics and functioning, within the limits set by law.

LEGAL GUARANTEE AND LACK OF CONFORMITY

For consumer sales, the legal guarantee of conformity provided for by Articles 128 et seq. of the Consumer Code applies, including to used goods, taking into account their previous use and the characteristics stated in the contract.

The standard period of liability is two years from delivery. For used goods, any reduction—which may not in any case be less than one year—applies only if validly agreed and permitted under the applicable rules.

In the event of a lack of conformity, consumers are entitled to the remedies provided by law: repair or replacement, where practicable, or a price reduction or termination of the contract where the relevant conditions are met.

Our commercial preference is to resolve substantiated complaints by arranging the return of the item and a full refund where appropriate, rather than negotiating informal discounts. This preference does not exclude mandatory remedies, including a price reduction.

Where a return is due to a defect attributable to the seller, the necessary costs are borne by us as required by law. Costs in other cases of cancellation are determined by the reason for cancellation and the applicable provisions.

RETURNS, REPAIRS AND ITEM INTEGRITY

Before arranging repairs, restoration, adjustments or work by a third party, please contact us so we can inspect the problem and agree on a solution. Unauthorized work may alter the item’s original condition, hinder inspection and affect liability for any damage or defects caused by that work.

There is no automatic reimbursement for work independently commissioned from third parties. The buyer’s mandatory rights remain unaffected: unauthorized work does not, by itself, result in the loss of all protection for defects unrelated to that work.

The returned item must include the accessories and documents received and be protected with suitable packaging. Please include the order reference and, if available, a copy of the sales document. The original receipt is not the only acceptable proof of purchase.

SHIPMENTS OUTSIDE THE EU AND CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS

For destinations outside the European Union, including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, China, Taiwan, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, customs duties, taxes and clearance charges may apply depending on the destination and the terms of the order. Amounts already collected by the platform should not automatically be assumed to be payable a second time.

Where necessary, tax or identification details may be requested for customs clearance. A passport number will be requested only if it is actually necessary under the applicable rules or the documented instructions of the carrier or competent authority.

We encourage buyers to check any import restrictions in advance. For goods subject to specific regulations, including CITES or cultural property rules, shipment remains subject to the legal possibility of export and import and to the required documentation.

CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION AND DATA PROTECTION

Where a distance sale of valuables is subject to identification requirements, a valid identity document will be requested and remote identification will be carried out in accordance with the procedures provided by the applicable regulations.

If information essential to meeting a legal obligation is missing, the transaction cannot be completed until the matter has been remedied. Any cancellation and refund will be handled with Catawiki in accordance with the applicable laws and terms, without any automatic exclusion of liability.

Personal data will be processed for contractual, tax, customs and applicable legal compliance purposes, in accordance with EU Regulation 2016/679 and Legislative Decree No. 196/2003. Only necessary data will be requested, and information will be provided about the purposes and methods of processing and the retention periods.

OUR COMMITMENT

Customer trust is built through accurate descriptions, careful checks and a willingness to resolve problems. We therefore invite you to contact us with any questions before bidding and to get in touch after delivery if you need assistance.

This information supplements the lot description and Catawiki’s terms and conditions, without limiting the buyer’s mandatory rights.
