Consumer Users are entitled to the guarantee of conformity provided for in Articles 129 et seq. of the Consumer Code for all physical Products sold through the Application, except in the cases of exclusion provided for in Article 128 of the Consumer Code.
The Owner is liable to the Consumer User for any lack of conformity that becomes apparent within two years of delivery. During the first year, the Consumer User is not required to prove that the defect existed at the time of delivery, as it is presumed to have already existed at that time, unless such a presumption is incompatible with the nature of the Physical Product or the nature of the lack of conformity.
If the Consumer User wishes to avail themselves of the remedies provided under the warranty of conformity, they must send a written notice to the email address info@vrcustomshoes.com or call customer service at +39 3286152305.
The Data Controller will respond promptly and inform the Consumer User of the procedure to follow.
For matters not covered by this clause, Articles 128 through 135-septies of the Consumer Code and the relevant provisions of the Civil Code regarding the formation, validity, and enforceability of contracts shall apply, including the consequences of contract termination and the right to compensation for damages.
- Content Submitted by Users
Users may upload Content to the Application, provided that it is not unlawful (i.e., obscene, threatening, defamatory, pornographic, abusive, or illegal in any way, or that violates privacy, the intellectual and/or industrial property rights of the Owner and/or third parties), misleading, or otherwise harmful to the Owner and/or third parties, and does not contain viruses, political propaganda, commercial solicitations, mass emails, or any other form of spamming. In the event of a claim by a third party, the User assumes full responsibility and agrees to hold the Owner harmless and indemnify the Owner against any damages, losses, or expenses.
The User warrants that the Content is submitted to the Application via their account by individuals of legal age. For minors, the submission of Content must be reviewed and authorized by parents or those exercising parental responsibility.
The User is fully and exclusively responsible for the use of the Application with regard to the functions of publishing, viewing, managing Content, and contacting other Users, and is therefore the sole guarantor and party responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and lawfulness of the Content and of their own conduct.
It is prohibited to use an email address that does not belong to the User, to use another User’s personal data and credentials to impersonate them, or to otherwise make false statements regarding the origin of the Content.
The Owner is unable to ensure thorough monitoring of the Content received and reserves the right at any time to delete, move, or modify any Content that, in its sole discretion, appears to be unlawful, abusive, defamatory, obscene, or in violation of copyright or trademark laws, or otherwise unacceptable.
Users grant the Owner a non-exclusive right to use the submitted Content, without geographical restrictions. The Owner may therefore, directly or through trusted third parties, use, modify, copy, transmit, extract, publish, distribute, publicly perform, disseminate, create derivative works, host, index, store, annotate, encode, modify, and adapt (including, without limitation, the right to adapt for transmission via any means of communication) in any form, any Content (including images, messages, as well as audio and video) that may be submitted by the User, even through third parties.
Submitted Content will not be returned, and the Owner shall not be liable to Users for the loss, alteration, or destruction of the transmitted Content.
Unless expressly authorized by the Owner, the following are strictly prohibited: i) the use of automated ad-posting systems, except for those expressly authorized; ii) the serial publication and/or management of ads on behalf of third parties by any means or method; iii) reselling the Owner’s services to third parties.

- Disclaimer of Warranty
The Application is provided “as is” and “as available” and the Owner makes no express or implied warranties regarding the Application, nor does the Owner warrant that the Application will meet Users’ needs or that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, virus-free, or free of bugs.
The Owner will make every effort to ensure that the Application is available 24 hours a day without interruption, but shall in no way be held liable if, for any reason, the Application is inaccessible and/or inoperable at any time or for any period. Access to the Application may be temporarily suspended without prior notice in the event of a system failure, maintenance, repairs, or for reasons entirely beyond the Owner’s control, or due to force majeure.
- Limitation of Liability
The Owner shall not be liable to the User—except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence—for service disruptions or malfunctions related to the use of the internet that are beyond its control or that of its suppliers.
Furthermore, the Owner shall not be liable for any damages, losses, or costs incurred by the User as a result of the failure to perform the contract for reasons not attributable to the Owner; in such cases, the User is entitled only to a full refund of the price paid and any incidental charges incurred.
The Owner assumes no liability for any fraudulent or unlawful use that may be made by third parties of credit cards and other means of payment, as the Owner does not come into contact in any way with the payment data used (credit card numbers, cardholder names, passwords, etc.).
The Owner shall not be liable for:
- any loss of business opportunities or any other loss, including indirect losses, that the User may suffer that are not a direct consequence of a breach of contract by the Owner
- incorrect or improper use of the Application by Users or third parties

The Owner’s performance of its obligations shall be deemed suspended for the duration of such force majeure events.
The Data Controller will take all measures within its power to identify solutions that allow for the proper fulfillment of its obligations despite the persistence of force majeure events.
- Links to Third-Party Sites
The Application may contain links to third-party websites or applications. The Owner exercises no control over them and, therefore, is in no way responsible for the content of these websites or applications.

This is without prejudice to the application to Consumer Users who do not have their habitual residence in Italy of any more favorable and mandatory provisions provided for by the law of the country in which they have their habitual residence, particularly with regard to the time limit for exercising the right of withdrawal, the time limit for returning the Products in the event that such right is exercised, the procedures and formalities for notifying such withdrawal, and the statutory warranty of conformity.
- Online Dispute Resolution for Consumer Users
Consumer Users residing in Europe should be aware that the European Commission has established an online platform that provides a tool for alternative dispute resolution.

Consequently, Consumer Users may use this platform to resolve any dispute arising from a contract entered into online. The platform is available at the following address: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/
