General Terms and Conditions of Sale
The terms and conditions governing purchases of products made available by CFS Prodotti Medicali S.r.l.
CFS Prodotti Medicali S.r.l.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to purchases of products made available via the website www.cfs.it, as well as products not yet codified but available for purchase via direct request sent by email or fax to CFS Prodotti Medicali S.r.l. This refers to purchases made by Consumers and/or professional Buyers via the e-commerce platform located on the aforementioned webpage, or by purchase request via telephone, fax, or email to the contact details indicated on the site.
These conditions comply with current national legislation regarding consumer matters (Legislative Decree no. 206/2003 and subsequent amendments) and electronic commerce (Legislative Decree no. 70/2003 and subsequent amendments).
The User accessing the site to make purchases, or contacting the seller directly by phone, fax, or email, is required, prior to order confirmation, to carefully read these General Terms and Conditions, which are made available on the Provider's webpage and are always viewable; these Conditions are considered accepted at the moment the User proceeds with the purchase.
Definitions
The seller and owner of the site is CFS Prodotti Medicali S.r.l., in the person of its legal representative pro tempore, with registered office in via G.B. Guarini, 58 - 57121 Livorno (LI), VAT no. 01883060491 (hereinafter the "Provider"). The Provider acts in the exercise of its entrepreneurial and commercial activity and promotes the sale of its products through distance contracts;
the professional Buyer is a freelance professional or a legal entity that, through an appointed and authorized natural person, purchases via the website's e-commerce platform or directly via telephone, fax, or email (hereinafter "Professional Customer");
the Consumer is the natural person acting for personal and non-professional purposes, unrelated to any entrepreneurial, commercial, craft, or professional activity, as defined by the Consumer Code;
the User is the visitor to the site, or anyone contacting the seller by phone, fax, or email to proceed with a purchase; the notion includes both the Consumer and the professional Buyer.
Subject of the sales contract
The sale concerns both products made available via the internet and viewable by accessing the site www.cfs.it, regardless of stock availability, and products not yet codified, present in the warehouse and available for sale, which can be purchased via direct order by fax or email.
Conclusion and effectiveness of the contract
The contract is concluded following the Provider's sending of an order confirmation email.
In the case of online sales, the User must register and create an account, using a valid email address (essential for proceeding with the order) and a password. In the case of already registered Users, account access occurs by entering the registration data.
The contract is understood to be concluded at the moment the User receives the confirmation email from the seller, sent to the email address provided by the Consumer/Professional Customer; the latter must keep the message received as it contains the identification details of the order.
In the case of telephone sales, the User can ask the operator to access their account already registered on the website, by providing the registration data, or request the creation of a new account. In the latter case, the identification data necessary for the creation of the user profile are collected and a password is communicated, which must be changed upon the first online access. Once the payment method is communicated, the operator asks the User for confirmation of their intention to proceed with the purchase; the latter is finalized upon a positive response.
Finally, in the case of direct sales via fax or email, the procedure is completed with the request for billing data and the sending of an order confirmation email. The latter will be processed only after the seller receives the confirmation signed by the User for acceptance.
Conditions and product availability
Information and characteristics related to the products are available on the site; CFS Prodotti Medicali S.r.l. is committed to describing and presenting the sold items accurately; however, the technical sheet and images of a product may not be complete and exhaustive of the relative characteristics or may be subject to changes by the manufacturer.
The term “available” for the selected product is purely indicative; the actual availability refers to the moment in which the User places the order, but this availability must be considered approximate, as products may be sold to other customers before the confirmation of the order itself (due to the simultaneous presence of multiple users on the site), or a computer anomaly may occur, making a product available for purchase that is not actually in stock due to, for example, the expiration of warehouse storage terms or as a consequence of the passage of time in the event that non-immediate payment methods are chosen (e.g., advance bank transfer, financing, renting, etc.). For this reason, CFS Prodotti Medicali S.r.l. reserves the possibility, upon receipt of the order, to verify the availability of the item and, if lacking, to communicate as soon as possible an update on the new expected delivery times, or to identify a solution in agreement with the customer.
In the case of direct sales, it is conversely the duty of the telephone operator or customer service to inform the User regarding the availability of the requested product.
Price
All product sale prices are expressed in Euro and are exclusive of VAT, which is calculated at the moment of product selection and its addition to the “shopping cart”, or communicated by the telephone operator or in the response email to quotation requests.
Shipping costs are not included in the price, except for some products for which free shipping is provided as indicated in the technical sheet uploaded to the site, and the transport cost is calculated based on the total amount of the ordered items; in online sales, the total price is visible after adding at least one product to the cart. Delivery to the floor is not provided and cannot be requested during the ordering phase.
The choice regarding the payment method for the order must be made before proceeding to confirm the purchase.
Payment methods and invoicing
Products purchased by the User can be paid for alternatively by:
- Credit Card (Shopify Payments). Once the order is confirmed, the User can pay by credit, debit, or prepaid card.

This method can also be selected without prior registration for the PayPal service.

Advance bank transfer. In order to maintain the priority of processing the order, payment via advance bank transfer must be made via INSTANT transfer.

Upon receipt of the material and before signing the document for the courier delivering the goods, it is necessary to carefully verify that the number of packages delivered is consistent with those mentioned on the delivery document and that the physical state of the packages does not present tampering.
For any problem encountered, sign "received with reservation", describing the reason directly on the delivery document (e.g., accepted with reservation for missing package, for crushed, broken packages, or broken cardboard, etc.).
Legal guarantee of conformity
CFS Prodotti Medicali S.r.l. carries out quality checks on its products in order to guarantee their integrity and validity. In the event that the User receives defective products or products not compliant with the orders placed (possibly due to factory defects), the Provider declares itself responsible, in accordance with the provisions of national legislation.
With respect to purchases made by the Consumer, a warranty of 24 months from the product delivery date is provided, and it is necessary for the buyer to submit a formal complaint regarding the defects within 2 months from the discovery of the defect and for the product to have been used correctly, in compliance with its intended use and as provided in the attached technical documentation.
In reference to purchases finalized by the Professional Customer, the warranty provided by the seller is 12 months from the date of delivery of the goods, and any defects must be communicated to the Provider within 8 days of their discovery; this warranty can only be activated if the product is used correctly, in compliance with the uses for which it is intended.
Indeed, with the exception of cases relating to the replacement of defective and non-compliant products, the supplying company assumes no responsibility for direct and indirect damages that may derive from the use, even improper, of the product by the recipient.
In all cases of lack of conformity (e.g., unsuitability for the use for which goods of the same type are habitually used, lack of the same quality compared to a sample or similar model, unsuitability for the particular use desired by the User and declared by the seller, etc.), CFS Prodotti Medicali S.r.l. provides, at its own expense, for the restoration of the product via repair/replacement. In the event that for any reason it is unable to return a restored or replaced product under warranty to the User, the seller proceeds to refund the entire amount paid, or to replace the product with another having characteristics equal or superior. It is possible that repairs or replacements may also take place through the use of refurbished parts or products which, while not necessarily equal to the defective products contained in the original supply, are nonetheless equivalent or slightly superior to new parts and products in terms of functionality, performance, and aesthetics. Finally, in case of difficulty in returning a product that presents characteristics equal or superior to the defective one, CFS Prodotti Medicali S.r.l. issues a credit note and refund in favor of the User of a value equal to the current market price of the product itself.
To obtain the repair/replacement of the purchased product, the User must have the item delivered to the headquarters of CFS Prodotti Medicali S.r.l. located at Via G.B. Guarini 58 - Livorno (LI) or can choose to use the warranty by requesting Technical Assistance. In the latter case, it is necessary to open a ticket in the appropriate section of one's online profile, and the customer service department will send, via email, the return number (RMA) with all the indications for packaging and shipping. In case of telephone contact, our technical assistance is available Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 12:30.
Please be advised that the shipping costs of the defective or non-compliant good to and from CFS Prodotti Medicali S.r.l. are borne by the Customer and that, if the received product appears tampered with, or the labels that identify the Serial or Part Number are removed or tampered with, CFS Prodotti Medicali S.r.l. reserves the right to judge the validity of the Warranty.
Furthermore, all shipments of products will be returned to the sender at their expense if they:
- do not include original packaging, accessories, and manuals
- are received with unsuitable or inadequate external packaging and are therefore damaged during transport
- are damaged due to the failure to use the original packaging and adequate external protective safety packaging, and were not authorized by the Support Center
Without prejudice to the above, any right of the User to damages or compensation is excluded, as is any contractual or non-contractual liability for direct or indirect damages to persons and/or property.
