The colors illustrated on the website or in any of the documents that the Seller provides to the consumer (e.g. the pre-sales pdf catalog) may not correspond exactly to those of the actual Product, owing to differences ascribable to the various types of monitors or screens used and/or the browsers installed on the Consumer’s computer or mobile device.
Customers are advised that the names of the colours described are purely indicative of the shade, they are based on the range to which the shade belongs, for example a military colour could be called “olive” or “sage” or “military green” depending on the name chosen by the designer for that particular garment and that particular seasonal “theme”. No complaints will be accepted on the names of the fabrics chosen. If you have any doubts about the colour, before placing any order write directly to have more information.
3.3 Each Product comes with a size table based on the measurements of the finished items, on a sample taken at the quality control stage.

tailorspec@gmail.com
The order will be shipped after the insurance payment is received.
For more information regarding insured and uninsured shipments and the conditions that apply, please read carefully the following informations:
By accepting the terms of sale, the consumer declares to be aware that, in case of non-delivery for any reason, the seller will only reimburse the exact amount that the courier eventually refunds to the seller after the appropriate investigations. Therefore, it is understood that if the amount the courier recognizes for the loss is less than the invoiced purchase value, the seller is not obliged to refund more than what is stated in the fiscal documentation, which will be provided to the consumer in copy.
If the consumer chooses insured shipping, in case the shipment is lost by the courier or not delivered, the consumer undertakes to submit a direct complaint to the courier, following the procedures established by the courier’s customer service, which must be contacted immediately by the consumer, also informing the seller of the problem that occurred.
The seller undertakes to follow the procedure by also filing a complaint and providing the consumer with all necessary assistance (sending documentary invoices, proofs of delivery, copies of the waybills, etc.), but is not authorized to reimburse the damage suffered until the courier has closed the necessary investigations with a favorable outcome for the consumer, which are, by the rules of the courier, estimated to take 60 working days.
As soon as the courier has refunded the insured product, the seller will immediately send the refund to the consumer.
It is also specified that duties, taxes, and any other costs related to the importation of goods into non-EU countries must always be requested from the courier acting as the customs agent.

Please track your shipment carefully with the tracking number provided to ensure you are at home upon delivery.
Remember that if the courier cannot find you at home, the shipment is sent to a “delivery point” and you may not be notified, so it is your firm responsibility to follow the tracking on the courier’s website: you can also use specific apps for this.
IMPORTANT:
The customer is informed that if the courier is asked to change the delivery dates or to collect the shipments at the courier’s “delivery points”, it is the customer’s responsibility to collect the shipment as soon as possible.
Any delays or losses will not be attributable to us.
In the event that the consumer does not collect the shipment, either at the address provided during the order, or at the courier’s warehouses where the shipment will be stored, and the package is returned to the sender by the courier, no refund of the goods will be made.
If the consumer wishes the shipment to be made again, he will have to pay the shipping costs in advance plus a fixed sum of €15 for packaging and handling costs, plus the cost of shipping from the storage point to us which the courier will charge us.
7.4 The indicative, non-binding delivery times for the shipping mode used, except for unforeseen circumstances due to reasons of force majeure, as reported in the agreements with the Courier the Seller works with, are 2/4 working days throughout mainland Italy, with an average of two further working days for deliveries to the islands.
Delivery times for EU countries may be longer, depending on the destination address.
Delivery times for non-EU countries depend on any customs procedures in operation there, payment of duties, and/or import procedures in force in the destination countries, so they may be longer, and cannot be foreseen once customs procedures are applied to the shipment.
Once the order is entrusted to the Courier, the Seller no longer has the power to make changes to or reduce delivery times, demand delivery, or manage procedures of any kind, including customs procedures or procedures for the import of the shipment.
The Consumer, therefore, acknowledges that any such operations are in no way dependent on the Seller.
7.5 Working days are understood as being all days from Monday to Friday. They do not include Saturdays, Sundays, or any public holidays that fall on weekdays.
7.6 The Seller undertakes to do everything in their power to guarantee the delivery times indicated on the website, and, in any case, to ship Products within a maximum of 30 (thirty) days from the day after the date on which the Consumer sent the order. If despite the Seller’s efforts, this proves impossible, the Consumer will be refunded.

• Credit card (Visa, MasterCard, and American Express circuits)

The Consumer’s credentials will be transmitted directly to the dedicated PayPal page, using encrypted transmission protocols.

Should it not be possible to charge the amounts owed by the Consumer, the purchase process will be terminated and the order canceled.

9.4 In the case of products that have undergone special treatments, such as a garment or piece dyeing (i.e. SUN&WIND fabrics) or washes that change the appearance of the fabric, or the colors of the same, and so on, this is clearly indicated in the product description, the customer is required to read the description correctly in case of purchase of such products no disputes will be accepted nor will product returns be accepted, relating to the appearance of the garments after use of the product or after washing at home and after being worn, with the acceptance of the terms and conditions the customer declares to have understood the point in question.
