However, the Client may request that Drop S.r.l. issues the tax invoice if it so wishes throughout the course of the purchasing procedure. In this case, Drop S.r.l. will proceed to send the requested invoice to the email or postal address stated during the registration stage. For the purposes of issuing the invoice, the information provided by the Client when placing the order will be taken into account. After the invoice has been issued, the information may not be modified, therefore the Client is asked to carefully check the information it has entered before proceeding with the order.

13.4 The Supplier may refuse to make the goods compliant by repairing and replacing them if such actions are impossible or if the costs that the Supplier would incur are disproportionate, taking into account all the circumstances, including those referred to in Article 135-bis, paragraph 2(a) and (b) of the Consumer Code.

13.5 The Client may, at its own discretion, ask for an appropriate reduction in price or to terminate the Contract if one of the following situations arises: (i) the Supplier has not repaired or replaced the product, where possible, pursuant to Article 135-ter, paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of the Consumer Code or has refused to make the goods compliant pursuant to Article 13.4 above; (ii) there is a defect despite the Supplier's attempt to make the goods compliant; (iii) the defect is so serious as to justify an immediate reduction in price or the termination of the contract of sale; (iv) the Supplier has declared or it is clear from the circumstances that it will not make the goods compliant within a reasonable period or without significant inconvenience to the Client. The Client will not be entitled to terminate the contract if the defect is minor.
