2. Important Information to Buyers
2.1 Buying at an auction
Finarte acts in the name and on behalf of the Seller, as an agent of the Seller and, thus, as a mere intermediary between the Buyer and the Seller. Therefore, the sale of the lot is considered to have taken place between the Buyer and Seller. Potential Buyers are required to consult the Site to view the most up-to-date classification of the lots in the catalogue.
2.2 Provenance
In certain cases, Finarte may print in the auction catalogue the history of the ownership of a lot when it believes that such information can contribute to the study of, or can help identify, the lot. However, the identity of the Seller or of previous owners might not be disclosed for various reasons, for example to meet the Seller's request to remain anonymous, or because the identity of the previous owner is unknown, due to the fact that the artwork is old.
2.3 Hammer Price, Buyer's Premium and VAT
In addition to the Hammer Price of the lot, the Buyer shall pay a Buyer's Premium, as part of the Total amount due.
The Buyer's Premium is set as follows:
29% (23,77 + VAT) of the Hammer Price of the lot, up to a maximum of Euro 2.999,99;
26% (21,32 + VAT) of the Hammer Price of the lot in excess of Euro 2.999,99 up to Euro 99.999,99;
22% (18,04 + VAT) of the Hammer Price of the lot in excess of Euro 99.999,99 up to Euro 499.999,99;
15% (12,30 + VAT) or any part of the Hammer Price in excess of Euro 499.999,99
Plus 3% of internet surcharge.
2.4 VAT
A Value Added Tax (VAT) may be applied to the Hammer Price and/or the Buyer's Premium. Reference is made to the information on VAT contained in the "Symbols" section below.
In order to harmonise the tax procedures between EU Member States, on 1 January 2001 new regulations came into force in Italy, and the margin scheme was extended to auction houses too. Under Article 45 of Law 342 of 21 November 2000, said scheme also applies to sales made under commission contracts entered into with: (a) private individuals; (b) entities subject to VAT that have subjected the transaction to the margin scheme; (c) entities that could not detract said tax pursuant to Article 19, 19-bis, and 19-bis2 of Presidential Decree 633/72 (i.e. the sale was made in exemption regime under Article 10, 27-quinquies); (d) entities benefiting from the exemption regime granted to small enterprises in their own country.
By virtue of the specific legislation in force, in the aforesaid cases, Finarte will apply the relevant VAT, if any, or the equivalent tax, whenever applicable. No specific symbol will be used to indicate lots sold under the margin scheme.
2.5 Artist's Resale Right
In addition to the Hammer Price, the Buyer's Premium and the other Expenses, the Buyer undertakes to pay to Finarte, if due, the "Artist's Resale Right" under Articles 144 et seq. of Law 633 of 22 April 1941, as amended and supplemented, which is payable by the seller under Article 152, first paragraph, of Law 633 of 22 April 1941, as amended and supplemented.

Lots marked with the symbol (®) are subject to artist's resale right in the percentage set out below for a total amount in any event not exceeding Euro 12,500.00.

0.25% for any portion of the selling price exceeding Euro 500,000.00.

The functioning and safety of the lots having, either in part or in full, an electrical or mechanical nature have not been checked before the sale, and such lots are bought by the Buyer at his own risk.
6.5 The descriptions contained in the catalogues and in the condition reports under Article 5.2 above are merely approximate and are provided for the sole purpose of identifying the lot(s) concerned.

All cars and motorcycles - together with the relevant documents accompanying them - must therefore be properly examined by the potential buyer in order to fully ascertain their condition.

All the watches and gemstones must therefore be appropriately examined by the potential buyer in order to be able to ascertain their status. Failure to indicate any defect, restoration work or of the presence of any non-original part does not preclude the possibility that such defect, restoration work or presence of a non-original part exist. Wristwatches declared by the manufacturer as water-resistant may have been opened for examination; Finarte therefore suggests that such watches be controlled by an authorised dealer to check their resistance before using the same in conditions where water is present. Straps made of organic material are associated with the watch for display purposes only. Prospective buyers are aware that the importation to foreign countries of materials derived from endangered or otherwise protected species (e.g. tortoiseshell, ivory) are subject to CITES international rules; prospective buyers should therefore acquire the necessary information on such restrictions before participating in the auction for lots containing, even partially, materials falling within the scope of the above rules.
6.10 In the event of sale of cars and/or motorcycles, pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations, the Buyer undertakes to initiate and manage, at its own care and expenses, via a competent agency indicated by Finarte, the procedure of transfer of ownership and/or, if applicable, the registration procedure, within and no later than fifteen (15) days from the date of sale of the Lot. All of the above without prejudice to the provisions of art. 7.11 below.
6.11 In case of permanent export abroad of cars and/or motorcycles registered in Italy, pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations, the Buyer undertakes to ask the competent office to remove them from the national vehicle archive and from the Public Vehicle Register, returning the license plate and the registration certificate of the Lotto within and no later than 15 (fifteen) days after the sale of the Lot.
7. Payment
7.1 In case of sale, the Buyer shall pay to Finarte the Total amount due immediately - and in any event no later than five (5) days - after the conclusion of the auction.
7.2 If a lot is the subject of the declaration under Article 4.1.14 above, the Buyer shall pay the total amount due upon expiry of the period for the exercise of the pre-emption right by the competent Ministry.

7.12 In case of delay in the payment of the Total amount due for a period of more than five (5) business days as from the auction date, Finarte may store the lot with a third party at the Buyer's risk and expense and charge the Buyer interest on arrears to Finarte at the 3-month Euribor rate provided by law plus five per cent (5%), without prejudice to Finarte's right to claim further damages.

The granting of a license or certificate for import does not guarantee the obtainment of a license or certificate for export, and vice versa. Please note that obtainment of an import licence or certificate does not guarantee any export licence or certificate and vice versa. Finarte recommends that potential Buyers check the requirements under their national legislation for the import of goods made of, or containing, protected species into their country. It is the Buyer's responsibility to obtain such import or export licences/certificates as well as any other document required before making any bid. Please refer to Article 11 of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
13. Sample terminology

"SANDRO BOTTICELLI": in Finarte's opinion, the work is a work by the artist (when the artist's forename is not known, whether the surname is preceded by a series of asterisks or by an initial or not, it indicates that the work is by the named artist).
"ATTRIBUTED TO SANDRO BOTTICELLI": in Finarte's opinion, the work is probably a work by the artist, but there is less certainty than in the above category.

15. Legal garantee of conformity
15.1 If the Seller is a professional and the Buyer a consumer within the meaning of Article 3 of the Italian Consumer Code, and the lot sold can be deemed a "consumer good" within the meaning of Articles 128 et seq., of the Italian Consumer Code, such lots sold through Finarte are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity provided for in Articles 128-135 of the Italian Consumer Code ("Legal Guarantee").
15.2 The Legal Guarantee is reserved for consumers. It therefore applies only to anyone who has bought a lot for purposes unrelated to his/her business, commercial, craft or professional activities.
15.3 The Seller is liable to the consumer Buyer for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the product "consumer good" that becomes apparent within two (2) years of that delivery. The lack of conformity must be reported to the Seller, under penalty of forfeiture of the guarantee, within two (2) months of the date of which it was discovered. Unless proved otherwise, it is assumed that any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within six (6) months of delivery of the product already existed on the delivery date, unless such assumption is incompatible with the nature of the product or with the nature of the lack of conformity. From the seventh month following the delivery of the lot, it becomes the consumer's burden to prove that the defect existed at the time of delivery. In order to avail himself/herself of the Legal Guarantee, therefore, the consumer shall first give proof of the date of the sale and the delivery of the lot. To be able to provide this proof, the consumer should, therefore, keep the order confirmation, the purchase invoice or the DDT or any other document suitable to demonstrate the date of purchase and delivery.
15.4 With reference to the definition of "lack of conformity", please refer to the provisions of Article 129, second paragraph, of the Consumer Code. Excluded from the scope of the Legal Guarantee are any defects caused by accidental events or by responsibilities of the Buyer - consumer, or by any use of the lot that is incompatible with its intended use. In this regard, it is specified that all the lots, including those having - either in part or in full - an electrical or mechanical nature, must be considered purely for their artistic, decorative and/or collective value and must not be deemed working.
15.5 In the event of a lack of conformity duly reported in the appropriate terms, the consumer Buyer will be entitled: (i) first, to the repair or replacement of the lot, at his/her discretion, free of charge, unless the remedy requested is objectively impossible or excessively onerous compared to the other; (ii) second (in cases where repair or replacement is impossible or excessively onerous, or the repair or replacement did not take place within a reasonable time or the repair or replacement made previously caused significant inconvenience to the consumer), to a reduction in the price or termination of the contract, at his/her discretion. The remedy requested shall be deemed excessively onerous if it imposes unreasonable costs upon the Seller compared to any other applicable remedy, taking into account: (i) the value that the lot would have if there were no lack of conformity; (ii) the nature of the lack of conformity; (iii) the possibility to implement the alternative remedy without significant inconvenience to the consumer.
15.6 If, during the period of validity of the Legal Guarantee, the lot shows any lack of conformity, the consumer may contact Finarte according to the terms of Article 14. Finarte will promptly reply to any notice of alleged lack of conformity and inform the consumer of the specific procedure to be followed.
16. Applicable law and jurisdiction
16.1 These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are governed by the laws of Italy.
16.2 Any dispute relating to the application, performance and interpretation of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Milan.
16.3 The above is without prejudice of the applicability to Buyers who are consumers under Article 3 of the Italian Consumer Code and who do not have their habitual residence in Italy of any more favourable and mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which they have their habitual residence. For any dispute relating to the application, performance and interpretation of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the court of competent jurisdiction shall be the court of the place where the consumer Buyer resides or is domiciled.
16.4 Furthermore, any consumer Buyer residing in a Member State of the European Union other than Italy may access, for any dispute relating to the application, performance and interpretation of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the European Small Claims procedure under Regulation (EC)of the Council of 11 July 2007, provided that the value of the claim, disregarding all interest, expenses and disbursements, does not exceed Euro 2,000.00. The text of the Regulation is available on the website .eur-lex.europa.eu.
16.5 Under Article 141-sexies, paragraph 3 of the Italian Consumer Code, Finarte informs any user who can be classified as a consumer within the meaning of Article 3, first paragraph, a) of the Italian Consumer Code that, in the event he/she has filed a complaint directly with Finarte, as a result of which, however, it was not possible to resolve the dispute arising therefrom, Finarte will provide information about the Alternative Dispute Resolution entity or entities in charge of out-of-court settlement of any dispute concerning the obligations arising from a contract concluded under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale (so-called ADR entities, as specified in Articles 141-bis et seq. of the Italian Consumer Code), specifying whether or not it intends to make use of such entities to resolve the dispute. Finarte also informs any user who can be classified as a consumer within the meaning of Article 3, first paragraph, a) of the Italian Consumer Code that that a European platform for online resolution of consumer disputes has been established (the so-called "ODR platform"). The ODR platform is available at http://ec.europa.eu/ consumers/odr/. On the ODR platform, a consumer Buyer may consult the list of ADR bodies, find the link to the website of each of them and start an online dispute resolution procedure for the dispute in which he/she is involved.

2. Important Information to Buyers
2.1 Buying at an auction
Finarte acts in the name and on behalf of the Seller, as an agent of the Seller and, thus, as a mere intermediary between the Buyer and the Seller. Therefore, the sale of the lot is considered to have taken place between the Buyer and Seller. Potential Buyers are required to consult the Site to view the most up-to-date classification of the lots in the catalogue.
2.2 Provenance
In certain cases, Finarte may print in the auction catalogue the history of the ownership of a lot when it believes that such information can contribute to the study of, or can help identify, the lot. However, the identity of the Seller or of previous owners might not be disclosed for various reasons, for example to meet the Seller's request to remain anonymous, or because the identity of the previous owner is unknown, due to the fact that the artwork is old.
2.3 Hammer Price, Buyer's Premium and VAT
In addition to the Hammer Price of the lot, the Buyer shall pay a Buyer's Premium, as part of the Total amount due.
The Buyer's Premium is set as follows:
29% (23,77 + VAT) of the Hammer Price of the lot, up to a maximum of Euro 2.999,99;
26% (21,32 + VAT) of the Hammer Price of the lot in excess of Euro 2.999,99 up to Euro 99.999,99;
22% (18,04 + VAT) of the Hammer Price of the lot in excess of Euro 99.999,99 up to Euro 499.999,99;
15% (12,30 + VAT) or any part of the Hammer Price in excess of Euro 499.999,99
Plus 3% of internet surcharge.
2.4 VAT
A Value Added Tax (VAT) may be applied to the Hammer Price and/or the Buyer's Premium. Reference is made to the information on VAT contained in the "Symbols" section below.
In order to harmonise the tax procedures between EU Member States, on 1 January 2001 new regulations came into force in Italy, and the margin scheme was extended to auction houses too. Under Article 45 of Law 342 of 21 November 2000, said scheme also applies to sales made under commission contracts entered into with: (a) private individuals; (b) entities subject to VAT that have subjected the transaction to the margin scheme; (c) entities that could not detract said tax pursuant to Article 19, 19-bis, and 19-bis2 of Presidential Decree 633/72 (i.e. the sale was made in exemption regime under Article 10, 27-quinquies); (d) entities benefiting from the exemption regime granted to small enterprises in their own country.
By virtue of the specific legislation in force, in the aforesaid cases, Finarte will apply the relevant VAT, if any, or the equivalent tax, whenever applicable. No specific symbol will be used to indicate lots sold under the margin scheme.
2.5 Artist's Resale Right
In addition to the Hammer Price, the Buyer's Premium and the other Expenses, the Buyer undertakes to pay to Finarte, if due, the "Artist's Resale Right" under Articles 144 et seq. of Law 633 of 22 April 1941, as amended and supplemented, which is payable by the seller under Article 152, first paragraph, of Law 633 of 22 April 1941, as amended and supplemented. The Artist's Resale Right shall be paid by the Buyer in accordance with Article 7 and paid to (S.I.A.E.) by Finarte.

5.3 In the event that, after a sale by auction, it emerges that a lot is a Counterfeit, Finarte will refund any Buyer who has requested termination of the sale contract, after returning the lot to Finarte, the Total amount due, provided that, no later than five (5) years of the date of the sale, the Buyer:
provides Finarte in writing, within three (3) months of the date when the same received information inducing him to believe that the lot is a Counterfeit, with the lot number, the date of the auction where the lot was purchased, and the reasons why the Buyer considers the lot to be a Counterfeit;
is able to return the lot to Finarte, free from third party claims of any kind, after the date of the sale, and the lot is in the same condition as it was at said date;
provides Finarte with the reports prepared by two independent scholars or experts of acknowledged expertise, indicating the reasons why the lot is considered a Counterfeit.

5.6 The Buyer will not be entitled to terminate the contract for sale and Finarte will not make the reimbursement, in the following circumstances:
if the catalogue description were consistent with the opinion of scholars and experts generally accepted at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated the authenticity or attribution of the lot as controversial; or
if, as of the date of publication of the catalogue, the fact that the lot was counterfeit could be verified only by way of examinations generally considered unsuitable for the purposes concerned or difficult to carry out, whose costs were unreasonable or that could have reasonably damaged or resulted in a loss of value of the lot.
6. Buyer's obligations and Finarte's liability to the buyer
6.1 The Buyer undertakes to examine the lot and the relevant documentation before the purchase in order to check if the same is compliant with the catalogue description, and, where appropriate, to request the opinion of a scholar or an independent expert, to verify its authorship, authenticity, provenance, attribution, origin, date, age, period, cultural origin or source, condition, completeness and quality, including its price and value.
6.2 Any representations provided by Finarte, either verbally or in writing, including those contained in the catalogue, reports, comments or evaluations concerning any characteristic of a lot such as authorship, authenticity, provenance, attribution, origin, date, age, period, cultural origin or source, condition, completeness and quality, including its price and value, exclusively reflect opinions, and can be reviewed and possibly changed by Finarte before the lot is offered for sale. Except in case of wilful misconduct or gross negligence, Finarte and its employees, co-workers, directors or consultants cannot be held liable for any mistake or omission contained in these representations..
6.3 Lots are sold as "seen and liked", expressly excluding any warranty against hidden defects, and with any gap, defect, flaw and description error.
6.4 All the lots, including those having - either in part or in full - an electrical or mechanical nature, must be considered purely for their artistic, decorative and/or collective value and must not be deemed working. The functioning and safety of the lots having, either in part or in full, an electrical or mechanical nature have not been checked before the sale, and such lots are bought by the Buyer at his own risk.
6.5 The descriptions contained in the catalogues and in the condition reports under Article 5.2 above are merely approximate and are provided for the sole purpose of identifying the lot(s) concerned.
6.6 The lack of any express reference to the condition of the lot in catalogues and condition reports does not imply the absence of any defects.
6.7 Except for the case of gross negligence or misconduct, Finarte or its employees, co-workers, directors or consultants may not be held liable for acts or omissions concerning the preparation or conduct of the auction or any issue relating to the pre-sale of the lots.
6.8 Except in case of wilful misconduct or gross negligence, Finarte's liability and the liability of Finarte's employees, co-workers, directors or consultants to the Buyer in connection with the purchase of a lot by the latter is limited to the Hammer Price and the Buyer's Premium paid to Finarte by the Buyer.
6.9 The descriptions for cars and motorcycles, including in relation to their history, age, model, changes of ownership, state of preservation and possible restoration processes, technical characteristics, internal and external components, including the engine number (matching number or not) and chassis number of the car - present in the catalogue and/or in any condition report - are given by Finarte in good faith as guidelines to the potential Buyer on the basis of the indications and information received from the Seller, but may not be considered exhaustive and/or verified. All cars and motorcycles - together with the relevant documents accompanying them - must therefore be properly examined by the potential buyer in order to fully ascertain their condition. Failure to indicate any defect, restoration work or of the presence of any non-original part does not preclude the possibility that any such defect, restoration work or presence of a non-original part exist. The descriptions, in the catalogue and/or in the condition report, for watches and gemstones including in relation to the state of preservation and any restoration, are given by Finarte as guidelines to the potential Buyer on the basis of the indications and information received from the Seller, but may not be considered exhaustive and/or verified. All the watches and gemstones must therefore be appropriately examined by the potential buyer in order to be able to ascertain their status. Failure to indicate any defect, restoration work or of the presence of any non-original part does not preclude the possibility that such defect, restoration work or presence of a non-original part exist. Wristwatches declared by the manufacturer as water-resistant may have been opened for examination; Finarte therefore suggests that such watches be controlled by an authorised dealer to check their resistance before using the same in conditions where water is present. Straps made of organic material are associated with the watch for display purposes only. Prospective buyers are aware that the importation to foreign countries of materials derived from endangered or otherwise protected species (e.g. tortoiseshell, ivory) are subject to CITES international rules; prospective buyers should therefore acquire the necessary information on such restrictions before participating in the auction for lots containing, even partially, materials falling within the scope of the above rules.
6.10 In the event of sale of cars and/or motorcycles, pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations, the Buyer undertakes to initiate and manage, at its own care and expenses, via a competent agency indicated by Finarte, the procedure of transfer of ownership and/or, if applicable, the registration procedure, within and no later than fifteen (15) days from the date of sale of the Lot. All of the above without prejudice to the provisions of art. 7.11 below.
6.11 In case of permanent export abroad of cars and/or motorcycles registered in Italy, pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations, the Buyer undertakes to ask the competent office to remove them from the national vehicle archive and from the Public Vehicle Register, returning the license plate and the registration certificate of the Lotto within and no later than 15 (fifteen) days after the sale of the Lot.

7.2 If a lot is the subject of the declaration under Article 4.1.14 above, the Buyer shall pay the total amount due upon expiry of the period for the exercise of the pre-emption right by the competent Ministry.

The conditions for payment in instalments must be agreed before the auction.

11. Exportation from the Republic of Italy

Likewise, export of cultural goods outside the territory of the European Union is regulated to the provisions of Regulation (EC)of 18 December 2008 and of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU)

11.3 Obtaining a certificate of free circulation and/or export license is the responsibility of the Buyer.

12. Protected species
12.1 All lots consisting of, or containing, parts of plants or animals (e.g.: coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, turtle), regardless of their age or value, may require a licence or certificate before export, and/or additional licences or certificates for importation into non-EU countries. The granting of a license or certificate for import does not guarantee the obtainment of a license or certificate for export, and vice versa. Please note that obtainment of an import licence or certificate does not guarantee any export licence or certificate and vice versa. Finarte recommends that potential Buyers check the requirements under their national legislation for the import of goods made of, or containing, protected species into their country. It is the Buyer's responsibility to obtain such import or export licences/certificates as well as any other document required before making any bid. Please refer to Article 11 of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

15. Legal garantee of conformity
15.1 If the Seller is a professional and the Buyer a consumer within the meaning of Article 3 of the Italian Consumer Code, and the lot sold can be deemed a "consumer good" within the meaning of Articles 128 et seq., of the Italian Consumer Code, such lots sold through Finarte are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity provided for in Articles 128-135 of the Italian Consumer Code ("Legal Guarantee").
15.2 The Legal Guarantee is reserved for consumers. It therefore applies only to anyone who has bought a lot for purposes unrelated to his/her business, commercial, craft or professional activities.
15.3 The Seller is liable to the consumer Buyer for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the product "consumer good" that becomes apparent within two (2) years of that delivery. The lack of conformity must be reported to the Seller, under penalty of forfeiture of the guarantee, within two (2) months of the date of which it was discovered. Unless proved otherwise, it is assumed that any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within six (6) months of delivery of the product already existed on the delivery date, unless such assumption is incompatible with the nature of the product or with the nature of the lack of conformity. From the seventh month following the delivery of the lot, it becomes the consumer's burden to prove that the defect existed at the time of delivery. In order to avail himself/herself of the Legal Guarantee, therefore, the consumer shall first give proof of the date of the sale and the delivery of the lot. To be able to provide this proof, the consumer should, therefore, keep the order confirmation, the purchase invoice or the DDT or any other document suitable to demonstrate the date of purchase and delivery.
15.4 With reference to the definition of "lack of conformity", please refer to the provisions of Article 129, second paragraph, of the Consumer Code. Excluded from the scope of the Legal Guarantee are any defects caused by accidental events or by responsibilities of the Buyer - consumer, or by any use of the lot that is incompatible with its intended use. In this regard, it is specified that all the lots, including those having - either in part or in full - an electrical or mechanical nature, must be considered purely for their artistic, decorative and/or collective value and must not be deemed working.
15.5 In the event of a lack of conformity duly reported in the appropriate terms, the consumer Buyer will be entitled: (i) first, to the repair or replacement of the lot, at his/her discretion, free of charge, unless the remedy requested is objectively impossible or excessively onerous compared to the other; (ii) second (in cases where repair or replacement is impossible or excessively onerous, or the repair or replacement did not take place within a reasonable time or the repair or replacement made previously caused significant inconvenience to the consumer), to a reduction in the price or termination of the contract, at his/her discretion. The remedy requested shall be deemed excessively onerous if it imposes unreasonable costs upon the Seller compared to any other applicable remedy, taking into account: (i) the value that the lot would have if there were no lack of conformity; (ii) the nature of the lack of conformity; (iii) the possibility to implement the alternative remedy without significant inconvenience to the consumer.
15.6 If, during the period of validity of the Legal Guarantee, the lot shows any lack of conformity, the consumer may contact Finarte according to the terms of Article 14. Finarte will promptly reply to any notice of alleged lack of conformity and inform the consumer of the specific procedure to be followed.
16. Applicable law and jurisdiction
16.1 These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are governed by the laws of Italy.
16.2 Any dispute relating to the application, performance and interpretation of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Milan.
16.3 The above is without prejudice of the applicability to Buyers who are consumers under Article 3 of the Italian Consumer Code and who do not have their habitual residence in Italy of any more favourable and mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which they have their habitual residence. For any dispute relating to the application, performance and interpretation of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the court of competent jurisdiction shall be the court of the place where the consumer Buyer resides or is domiciled.
16.4 Furthermore, any consumer Buyer residing in a Member State of the European Union other than Italy may access, for any dispute relating to the application, performance and interpretation of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the European Small Claims procedure under Regulation (EC)of the Council of 11 July 2007, provided that the value of the claim, disregarding all interest, expenses and disbursements, does not exceed Euro 2,000.00. The text of the Regulation is available on the website .eur-lex.europa.eu.
16.5 Under Article 141-sexies, paragraph 3 of the Italian Consumer Code, Finarte informs any user who can be classified as a consumer within the meaning of Article 3, first paragraph, a) of the Italian Consumer Code that, in the event he/she has filed a complaint directly with Finarte, as a result of which, however, it was not possible to resolve the dispute arising therefrom, Finarte will provide information about the Alternative Dispute Resolution entity or entities in charge of out-of-court settlement of any dispute concerning the obligations arising from a contract concluded under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale (so-called ADR entities, as specified in Articles 141-bis et seq. of the Italian Consumer Code), specifying whether or not it intends to make use of such entities to resolve the dispute. Finarte also informs any user who can be classified as a consumer within the meaning of Article 3, first paragraph, a) of the Italian Consumer Code that that a European platform for online resolution of consumer disputes has been established (the so-called "ODR platform"). The ODR platform is available at http://ec.europa.eu/ consumers/odr/. On the ODR platform, a consumer Buyer may consult the list of ADR bodies, find the link to the website of each of them and start an online dispute resolution procedure for the dispute in which he/she is involved.
