3.4 In case of a difference between the image and the written product specifications, the latter will always prevail.
- Purchasing procedure
4.1 The Client may purchase the Products in FERON’s e-Catalogue, which are illustrated in detail on the Website in the corresponding product category sections, as described in the relative product specifications posted on the Website, by complying with the procedures explained in this paragraph.
4.2 In order to purchase the Products, the Client must fill out and send to FAMCY the electronic order form available on the Website, following the instructions provided on said form. The form must be duly filled out in all parts.
4.3 The Client will first have to add the selected Products to the “Shopping Cart”, view their “Shopping Cart” and, once they have checked that they are happy with its contents, click on the “CHECKOUT” button. After providing their personal details, including their billing address, shipping address and payment information, choosing the courier, if such option is available, and seeing and accepting the amount of the delivery charges, the Client will be able to proceed with placing their order.

- Contract conclusion
5.1 The publication of Products on the Website constitutes an invitation to the Client to make an offer of purchase. An order sent by a Client has contractual value and implies complete awareness and acceptance of these General Terms.
5.2 Each Purchase Agreement stipulated between FAMCY and the Client shall be executed with the sending of the confirmation of the Client’s order by FAMCY to the e-mail address of the Client. This confirmation message will indicate an “Order Number,” to be used in all subsequent communications with FAMCY. The message will reiterate, in addition to the information required by law, all the data entered by the Client, who agrees to verify its accuracy and immediately give notice of any corrections. Any extra costs incurred due to incorrect information which was not promptly reported will be the Client’s exclusive responsibility.
5.3 The Clients may view all their orders on the Website in their Reserved Area, assuming they placed the orders while logged into their account, or obtain the relevant details by contacting FAMCY Customer Service, immediately after sending the orders. FAMCY Customer Service can be contacted via the methods set out in paragraph 1.3 above.
Occasionally, some Products offered may be unavailable and, in that case, if the Products selected by the Client are unavailable, FAMCY will inform the Client by e-mail, their order for the unavailable Products will be cancelled and, if the Client has already paid for them, they will receive a full refund in relation to those Products. Any Products forming part of the same order which are still available will be sent to the Client and charged for as normal.
5.4 FAMCY shall be free to accept or refuse any order sent by a Client at its own discretion, without the Client being able to lay claims or rights of any sort, in any capacity, even compensatory, in the event of non-acceptance of the order by FAMCY.
5.5 In particular, FAMCY reserves itself the right to not accept orders and cancel orders that do not give adequate assurance of solvency or if – even after checking with the network that manages credit card payments – anomalies are found in the transactions and in the payment methods used by the Client.
5.6 The Client may verify at any time the content of their concluded Purchase Agreements by accessing their Reserved Area on the Website, assuming they placed the orders while logged into their account, or by contacting FAMCY Customer Service via one of the methods set out in paragraph 1.3 above. This information will be available for a 12-month period following the delivery date of the Products.
- Product Pricing
All Product prices are clearly indicated on the Website and include VAT. Shipping expenses are displayed at the time of the order. The cost for each shipment may vary, depending on the shipping and payment methods as well as on the final destination and total order amount. - Invoicing and Payment terms
7.1 FAMCY shall issue an invoice for the purchased Products the moment said Products are turned over to the courier for shipping, sending it to the Client by e-mail. When issuing the invoice, FAMCY relies on the information provided by the Client. Once the invoice is issued it will not be possible to make any changes to this information.
7.2 As described in more detail in the relevant sections, payments with Credit Card exclusively require an authorization, in other words booking the money with no actual charge when the Customer enters the orders. Payment is actually charged to the Customer only when the Products are turned over to the courier in charge of the shipment. At this point, FAMCY also issues the invoice relating to the order.
7.3 The purchased Products may be paid by means of credit card or, pay on delivery through the designated courier service, according to the methods specified here below:
Online credit cards
We note that orders processed via credit cards will be prioritized.
The following credit cards are accepted: Visa, Mastercard.
All information is transferred in encrypted form using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol.
The amount of the order is not immediately debited on the card, but instead during a subsequent phase, within the limits authorized by Client.
When the order is entered on the Website, an authorization will be requested only for payment of the indicated amount (very often, the bank which issued the card sends a SMS/e-mail to the Client at this time).
This authorization does not mean that the money has been debited, but simply that the corresponding amount has been “booked”.
The amount due will actually be debited once the order is turned over to the courier, forwarding company or any other subject authorized by FAMCY to carry out the delivery.
This guarantees that the order amount is debited on the credit card only at the time of the actual shipment of the Products and only for the amount relating to the Products actually shipped.
Pay on delivery through the designated courier service.
- Shipping Methods and Charges
8.1 FAMCY agrees to deliver the Products without undue delay and in any case within 30 days from the execution of the Purchase Agreement. Products are delivered by way of courier, and delivery times vary depending on the place of destination. In any event, the delivery dates indicated at the time the order is placed are approximate.
8.2. In accordance with the provisions of EU Regulation 2018/302, it will also be possible for Customers who are citizens of the European Union but not residing in UK to purchase Products.
8.3 FAMCY will not be liable in any way towards the Client for any delays in fulfilling the order or in delivering the Products listed in the Purchase Agreement due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of FAMCY.
8.4 The ordered Products will be sent to the mailing address specified by the Client. Once FAMCY has turned over the products to the courier, the Client will receive an e-mail confirming the shipment.
8.5 Delivery terms and conditions vary depending on whether “Standard Delivery” or “Express Delivery” is selected during the order process. Deliveries are made from Monday to Friday, during normal business hours, except on national holidays, according to the terms and conditions set forth by the courier chosen by the Client. The delivery is deemed to have been completed when the Products are made available to the Client at the address specified on the order form. In the case of “Standard Delivery”, if the Products cannot be delivered due to absence of the recipient at the specified address, the postal worker will leave a delivery card and the shipment will be available to pick up from the Post Office for approximately ten (10) working days. After this period, the products will be returned to FAMCY. In the case of “Express Delivery”, if the Products cannot be delivered due to absence of the recipient at the specified address, the courier will attempt to contact the Client to reschedule delivery. If no contact can be made, the courier will attempt to redeliver and, if this is unsuccessful due to absence of the recipient, the courier will make a further attempt to contact the Client to schedule a new delivery time. If the courier is unable to contact the Client within five (5) working days or in the event of a further failure to deliver due to absence of the recipient, the Products in the order will be returned to FAMCY. Once 30 (thirty) days have elapsed from the date the Products listed in an order were returned to FAMCY because it was not possible to complete the delivery, the Purchase Agreement will be terminated and the order cancelled. FAMCY will then proceed to refund the amount paid by the Client, net of the costs incurred to return the Products and of expenses for their storage at the facilities of the courier in charge of their delivery.
8.6 Termination of the Purchase Agreement and the amount of the refund will be notified via e-mail. The refund amount will be credited on the payment method used by the Client for the purchase. In the event that, before the 30-day period elapses, the Client once again requests to receive the purchased Products, FAMCY will proceed with the new delivery after debiting the charges for this new delivery as well as the costs for returning the Products to FAMCY and the storage fees.
8.7 At the time of delivery of the Products by the courier hired by FAMCY, the Client is required to carefully check:
(a) that the tamper-proof label is intact and the packaging has not been damaged or otherwise altered; and
(b) that the number of delivered pieces matches the amount indicated in the shipping document.
8.8 The Client must immediately report any damage to the tamper-proof label, to the packaging or to the Products or if the number of units/packages or indications do not match, by contacting FAMCY’s Customer Service via one of the methods set out in paragraph 1.3 above, indicating the order for which these problems occurred.
8.9 Events outside the reasonable control of the parties, including but not limited to unavailability of means of transportation and unforeseen or unavoidable events (e.g. natural disasters, extreme weather, industrial action) that result in a delay in deliveries or make deliveries difficult or impossible or cause significant increases in FAMCY’s delivery expenses, will give the latter the right to split up, resend or cancel the order, in full or in part, or to cancel the Purchase Agreement. In these cases, FAMCY must immediately inform the Client of its decision by sending an e-mail to the address provided by Client, with the Client only being entitled to a refund of any sums already paid, excluding any other claims against FAMCY for any reason.
- Discount coupons – Promotions
9.1 Any discount coupons or promotional codes may be entered when the Client fills out the order form. The system will automatically change the total order amount, deducting any discounts or allowances.
9.2 Coupons can be used together with other commercial initiatives only where the possibility to do so is explicitly indicated.
- Right to Withdraw and its effects
10.1 The Client has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement, at its discretion and without cause, within 14 days (“withdrawal period”) as outlined in this paragraph 10.
10.2 The withdrawal period expires: (i) 14 days after the Client or a third party – excluding the courier, its employees and sub-contractors – enter in possession of the Products or (ii) in case of a Purchase Agreement relating to multiple Products ordered in a single order and delivered separately, 14 days after the Client or a third party – excluding the courier, its employees and sub-contractors – enter into possession of the last item.
10.3 To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Client must inform FAMCY of their decision to terminate the Purchase Agreement by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax, or e-mail). You may use the https://feron.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/withdrawal_form.docx.
10.4 In order to take advantage of the withdrawal period, the Client must send the notice of withdrawal before the expiration of the withdrawal period.
10.5 If the Client terminates the Purchase Agreement, all the payments made in favour of FAMCY will be refunded, including costs of delivery (excluding the additional costs arising from the choice by the Client of a type of delivery different from the least expensive method available, i.e. the “standard method”), without undue delay and in any case not later than 14 days from the day FAMCY receives the Products back or, if earlier, the day the Client provides proof of return. In the event that no goods were supplied, the refund will be made no later than 14 days from the date on which FAMCY was informed of the Client’s decision to terminate the Purchase Agreement. Refunds will be made using the same method of payment used by the Client for the purchase of the Products, unless it is expressly agreed otherwise. In any case, the Client will not bear any cost, except for the costs outlined in paragraph 10.6 below.
10.6 The Client must send back the Products or deliver to FAMCY, without undue delay and in any case within 14 days from the day of the exercise of the right to withdrawal. The deadline is respected if the Client sent back the Products before the expiration of the period of 14 days. Direct costs of returning the Products will be paid by the Client. In case the air-sealed package containing the product is opened returns will not be accepted and refund won’ t be processed. If we receive the products and the air-sealed packaging is opened we will return the goods to the client charging him for the additional transportation and handling costs. In case of refund, FAMCY will withhold the transportation costs, handling costs and bank fees, if any.
10.7 In any case, the Client cannot exercise the right to withdrawal regarding to our products that have been unsealed after delivery, because they are all sealed for reasons of hygiene or related to health protection.
