6.2 Each product is accompanied by an informative page that highlights its key features. The images and descriptions on the website aim to faithfully represent the product characteristics. However, the colors of the products may vary from the actual ones due to the settings of computer systems or devices you use for viewing.

Ownership of the Products will be transferred to the user upon shipment, defined as the moment when the Product is handed over to the carrier.

ART. 9. PAYMENT METHODS
9.1 The following payment methods are accepted on the website www.birdcagehats.com: PayPal, credit/debit card, and bank transfer.
9.2 Purchases via credit/debit card are possible on the website www.birdcagehats.com. The birdcagehats.com website uses the Stripe platform to process credit/debit card transactions. Customers are kindly requested to refer to the pages https://stripe.com/it/privacy and https://stripe.com/it/legal/cookies-policy for more information on how the platform operates.
9.3 Purchases can also be made on the website www.birdcagehats.com using the PayPal payment solution. If the user chooses PayPal as the payment method, they will be redirected to the website www.paypal.it to complete the payment according to PayPal's established procedure and the terms and conditions agreed upon between the user and PayPal. The data entered on the PayPal website will be handled directly by PayPal and will not be transmitted or shared with Birdcage Hats. Therefore, Birdcage Hats is unable to access or store any data related to the user's payment card linked to their PayPal account or any other payment instrument connected to that account.
In the case of payment through PayPal, the Total Amount Due will be charged to the user by PayPal upon the conclusion of the contract. In the event of contract termination or any other form of refund, the refund amount due to the user will be credited to their PayPal account. The crediting time to the payment instrument linked to that account depends solely on PayPal and the banking system. Once the credit order is issued to that account, Birdcage Hats cannot be held responsible for any delays or omissions in the refund amount, and for any disputes related to this, the user should directly contact PayPal. Any refunds under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale will be credited to the user's PayPal account.
9.4 In case the user selects bank transfer as the payment method, Birdcage Hats, upon receiving the order, will provide the bank details and the deadline for making the transfer. Following this, a confirmation email of the order will be sent, which may contain a request to email the receipt of the completed transfer or confirmation of its execution and the user's tax code to proceed with invoice issuance. In the case of payment via bank transfer, the delivery times of the Product indicated on the Website will begin from the date of receipt of the transfer by Birdcage Hats, not from the date of order transmission, as is the case when the user chooses other payment methods.
From the date of order placement, the user must arrange payment within 1 working day. In the absence of payment, Birdcage Hats reserves the right to cancel the order within the following 2 working days.
ART. 10. PRODUCT SHIPPING

10.4 It is your responsibility to check the condition of the delivered Product. While the risk of loss or damage to the Product, not attributable to Birdcage Hats, is transferred when you, or a third party designated by you and different from the carrier, physically take possession of the Product, Birdcage Hats recommends that you verify the number of Products received and that the packaging is intact, undamaged, not wet, or otherwise altered, including any sealing materials.
For your own interest, you are encouraged to note any anomalies on the carrier's transport document and accept the package with reservations. In case the packaging shows clear signs of tampering or alteration, it is advisable to promptly inform Birdcage Hats. However, the application of withdrawal rights (if applicable to the Product) and legal warranty of conformity remains in effect.
ART. 11. RETURN POLICY
11.1 In the case of purchasing custom-made or clearly personalized items on the website www.birdcagehats.com, unless otherwise indicated, the user does not have the right of withdrawal as provided in Article 52 of the Consumer Code with reference to the Product or Products specified in this article.
11.2 If you are a consumer, you have the right to withdraw from the contract of purchase of the Product without providing any reason and without incurring any costs other than those specified in this article within fourteen calendar days (Withdrawal Period). The Withdrawal Period expires after 14 days:
- In the case of an order relating to a single Product, from the day you or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by you, physically takes possession of the Products;
- In the case of a Multiple Order with separate deliveries, from the day you or a third party, other than the carrier and designated by you, physically takes possession of the last Product; or

11.3 To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform Birdcage Hats, before the end of the Withdrawal Period, of your decision to withdraw
11.4 You have exercised your right of withdrawal within the Withdrawal Period if the communication regarding the exercise of the right of withdrawal is sent by you before the end of the Withdrawal Period. This communication must be sent in the following manner:
Email: info@birdcagehats.com.
Please note that since the burden of proving the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the end of the Withdrawal Period lies with you, it is in your interest to use a durable medium when communicating the withdrawal to Birdcage Hats.
11.5 In the event of exercising the right of withdrawal, you must send the Product to the Fiscal Domicile indicated in the heading of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale by mail.
11.6 The direct costs of returning the Products are borne by you, as well as responsibility for their transport. To this end, the return must be made using a method that provides a shipping receipt, and you should consider insuring your shipment based on the purchase you have made. Keep the shipping receipt, as it will serve as proof of the return.
11.7 If you withdraw from the contract, Birdcage Hats will initiate the refund process upon receipt of the Products, and will refund the Total Amount Due, including delivery costs if applicable, without undue delay and in any case within 14 calendar days from the day Birdcage Hats receives the Product for which the withdrawal is initiated. The refund will be made using the same payment method used for the initial transaction.
11.8 You are solely responsible for any decrease in the value of the goods resulting from handling the Product other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the Product. The Product must still be kept, handled, and inspected with normal diligence and returned:
- Intact,
- In the original packaging,
- Complete in every part, fully functional, accompanied by all accessories, instructional leaflets, and tax documentation,
- With the identifying labels, tags, and disposable seal (if present) still attached to the Product, intact and unaltered,
- Perfectly suitable for the purpose for which it is intended,
- Free from signs of wear or dirt.
These withdrawal rules apply to the entire Product and cannot, therefore, be exercised with regard to parts and/or accessories of the Product.
11.9 In the event that the Product for which the withdrawal has been exercised has suffered a decrease in value resulting from handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the Product, Birdcage Hats reserves the right to deduct from the refund an amount equal to such decrease in value. Birdcage Hats will inform you of this circumstance and the resulting reduced refund amount within 5 days from the receipt of the Product, providing, in case the refund has already been made, the bank details for payment of the amount due to you due to the decrease in the value of the Product.
11.10 If the right of withdrawal is not exercised in accordance with the applicable regulations, it will not result in the termination of the contract and, consequently, will not entitle you to any refund. Birdcage Hats will notify you of this within 5 (working) days from the receipt of the Product, rejecting the withdrawal request. The Product will remain at Birdcage Hats' disposal for collection, which must be at your expense and under your responsibility.
11.11 In the case of partial withdrawal from Multiple Orders, the amount of delivery costs to be refunded to you will be calculated in proportion to the value of the Product being withdrawn. Therefore, if, for example, you have placed an overall order of €200.00, which includes two Products, the first valued at €50.00 and the second at €150.00, and you return the Product valued at €150.00, you will be refunded an amount equal to 75% of the delivery costs incurred. In any case, the amount of delivery costs to be refunded cannot exceed the amount actually paid.

All products sold on the website www.birdcagehats.com are covered by the Legal Warranty of Conformity provided for in Articles 128-135 of the Consumer Code (Legal Warranty).
To Whom it Applies
The Legal Warranty is reserved for customers. Therefore, it applies only to users who have made purchases on the website www.birdcagehats.com for purposes unrelated to any entrepreneurial, commercial, artisanal, or professional activities they may carry out.
When it Applies
Birdcage Hats is responsible to the consumer for any lack of conformity of the product that occurs within two years from the date of delivery. The lack of conformity must be reported to the seller, under penalty of forfeiture of the warranty, within two months from the date it was discovered.
Unless proven otherwise, it is presumed that the lack of conformity that becomes apparent within six months from the delivery of the product already existed on that date, unless this hypothesis is incompatible with the nature of the product or the nature of the lack of conformity. Starting from the seventh month following the delivery of the product, it will be the consumer's responsibility to prove that the lack of conformity already existed at the time of delivery.
To take advantage of the Legal Warranty, the consumer must first provide proof of the purchase date and delivery of the product. Therefore, it is advisable for the consumer to keep the purchase invoice or any other document that can attest to the date of purchase (e.g., credit card statement) and the date of delivery.
In the event of contract termination, Birdcagehats will refund the consumer the total amount paid, consisting of the purchase price of the product, shipping costs, and any other additional costs. In the case of a price reduction, Birdcage Hats will refund the amount of the reduction, previously agreed upon with the consumer. The refund or reduction amount will be credited to the payment method used by the consumer for the purchase.
Birdcage Hats is not responsible for damages of any kind resulting from improper use and/or non-compliance with the manufacturer's instructions, as well as damages resulting from unforeseeable circumstances, force majeure, or normal wear and tear from the product's use.
ART. 14. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION
