YOU ARE BUYING FROM ESTIMI PRO – ITALY

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

Items are subjected to checks appropriate to their nature, with the support of Dr. Erika Barbero, a professional registered with the expert panels of the Court of Cuneo and the Italian Appraisers Association. These registrations relate to the professional qualification and do not constitute an endorsement of the individual item by the Court or by the brands represented.

AUTHENTICITY, CONDITION AND DOCUMENTATION

Condition and authenticity checks are central to our activity. Gold and silver jewelry, silverware, watches, clothing and signed accessories are examined according to the characteristics of the individual item and available documentation.

Any certificates or expert reports are provided when explicitly indicated in the description or can be requested before bidding, subject to availability, content and any costs. Catawiki expert review is separate from our expert assessment and does not replace an individual certificate.

Description and photographs document the item offered, its accessories and stated conditions. For used or vintage items, signs of time and use are evaluated in relation to the nature, era and condition of the item. Photographs supplement the description without limiting responsibility for inaccurate characteristics or undisclosed defects.

Only accessories and documents expressly indicated are included. The brands mentioned belong to their respective owners; mentioning them identifies the objects and does not imply affiliation or authorization by the house.

PREPARATION, SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY

Each item is checked, cleaned or sanitized in a manner compatible with the materials and its preservation, then carefully packed.

Shipping is tracked and insured according to the service conditions used. Items may be stored in different warehouses: please allow roughly 7–10 days for delivery, unless otherwise indicated in the order, for special destinations or customs delays. Shipping will occur under the terms of Catawiki and communicated for the order; the estimated delivery time does not constitute an extension of the shipping deadline.

Upon receipt, check the packaging. If there are dents, cuts, openings or breakages, ask the courier to note a specific reservation, if possible. We recommend photographing the package before and after opening and keeping packaging, protections and label to facilitate any insurance checks.

The absence of a reservation, photographs or packaging does not automatically waive consumer rights. In consumer sales, transport risk is governed by Art. 63 of the Consumer Code.

ASSISTANCE AND REPORTS

For any clarification or problem, contact us via the order messaging on Catawiki, indicating the lot number and describing what was found.

In case of damage, item not as described or missing content, promptly report the issue to Catawiki support as well, preferably immediately and in any case within 3 days as per the platform procedure, to enable claims handling and possible suspension of payment.

This operational deadline does not constitute waiver of withdrawal rights or of the legal guarantees where applicable.

CONSUMER WITHDRAWAL

When the buyer acts as a consumer and the legal requirements apply, they may exercise the right of withdrawal without motive within 14 days of receiving the item, pursuant to Articles 52 et seq. of Legislative Decree 206/2005, subject to statutory exceptions.

The decision must be communicated to the seller by explicit declaration, also using the Catawiki procedure. The item must be returned within 14 days of the withdrawal notification.

For simple rethinking, the direct cost of return is borne by the buyer, unless otherwise agreed. The amounts due by law, including standard initial delivery costs, will be reimbursed; higher costs for a more expensive delivery chosen by the buyer are not due.

The refund is made without undue delay and within statutory terms, with the possibility of suspending it until receipt of the item or proof of return, according to the applicable regulations. Amounts collected directly by Catawiki are handled through the platform according to their respective competencies, subject to mandatory rights.

The buyer is responsible for any decrease in value resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to verify the nature, characteristics and functioning of the item, within legal limits.

LEGAL GUARANTEE AND CONFORMITY DEFECTS

In consumer sales, the legal conformity guarantee provided by Articles 128 and following of the Consumer Code applies, including for used goods, taking into account prior use and the contractually declared characteristics.

The ordinary duration of liability is two years from delivery. For used goods, any reduction, not less than one year, applies only if validly agreed and permitted by applicable law.

If there is a defect of conformity, the consumer is entitled to repairs or replacements where feasible, or a reduction in price or contract termination when warranted by the circumstances.

Our commercial preference is to resolve disputes by returning the item and providing a full refund where appropriate, rather than negotiating informal discounts. This preference does not exclude mandatory remedies, including price reduction.

If return is due to a defect attributable to the seller, the necessary costs are on us under the law. Costs for other cancellation scenarios depend on the cause of cancellation and applicable provisions.

RETURNS, REPAIRS AND INTEGRITY OF THE ITEM

Before performing repairs, restorations, adjustments or interventions by third parties, contact us to allow problem verification and agreement on a solution. Unauthorized interventions may alter the original state, compromise assessments and affect liability for damages or defects caused by them.

There is no automatic refund for interventions commissioned to third parties. The consumer’s irrevocable rights remain: an unauthorized intervention does not by itself cause loss of all protections for defects independent of the intervention.

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

EXTRA-EU SHIPMENTS AND CUSTOMS COMPLIANCE

For destinations outside the European Union, including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, China, Taiwan, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, duties, taxes and customs clearance charges may apply depending on the destination and order conditions. Amounts already collected by the platform should not automatically be considered due again.

When required, fiscal or identifying data may be requested for customs clearance. Passport number will be requested only if truly necessary according to applicable rules or the carrier’s documented instructions or competent authority.

We invite buyers to check import restrictions in advance. For items subject to special regulations, including CITES or cultural property rules, shipping remains subject to the legal possibility of export and import and the necessary documents.

CLIENT IDENTIFICATION AND DATA PROTECTION

In the case of distance selling of valuables subject to identification obligations, a valid identity document is required and remote identification is performed according to applicable regulations.

If essential information is missing to fulfill a legal obligation, the operation cannot be completed until regularized. Any cancellation and refund will be managed with Catawiki according to applicable laws and conditions, without automatic exclusion of liability.

Personal data will be processed for contractual, fiscal, customs purposes and for applicable legal obligations, in compliance with GDPR and Legislative Decree 196/2003. Only data strictly necessary will be requested, with information on purposes, methods and retention times.

OUR COMMITMENT

Customer trust is built on accurate descriptions, careful checks and willingness to resolve problems. Therefore, we invite you to contact us before bidding with any questions and after delivery for any assistance needs.

These details complement the lot description and Catawiki conditions, without limiting the purchaser’s non-derogable rights.
