1. Overview
1.1. These General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall govern any sale of products bearing the Prada Group trademarks (the “Products” or the “Product”) concluded by means of the following distance sale, where applicable:
A) E-COMMERCE: means any sale of the Products made to customers through the Prada Group websites (“Websites”);
B) HOME DELIVERY: means any sale at a Prada Group store of a Product not available in the relevant stock at the moment in which a customer purchases this Product; therefore the customer pays the relevant price in the store and receives the purchased Product at home, or in store if he/she prefers it so;
C) REMOTE SALE: means any sale of the Products made remotely (by using any remote tools such as telephone, email, etc.) to a customer;
D) DISTANCE SALE SUBJECT TO CUSTOMER APPROVAL: means any sale concluded following the Customer’s approval of the Products made available to him/her by the Company within the terms indicated by the Company or, in the absence of approval, following their failure to be returned within the return terms indicated in the Purchase Offer Subject to Approval.
The Products are sold directly by Prada Saudi Arabia Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with registered office at P.O Box 9567, Jeddah 21432, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“Company”), within the country referred in the Article 1.3 below.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale contain important information on the rights and obligations of consumers, as well as the limitations and exclusions applicable to them, and govern the distance sale between the Company and the consumer.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are to be carefully read before submitting an order to the Company considering that they will tell the consumers how the Company will deliver Products, how the Company may change or end the sale contract, what the consumer should do if he/she has a problem and other important information related to the sale of the Products. If the consumer thinks there is a mistake in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, he/she is invited to contact the Company to discuss.
The Customer agrees that these General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to his/her purchase of the Products. When the Customer makes a purchase request or order for Products, he/she will be required to accept these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
If the Customer refuses to accept these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, he/she will not be able to order any Products by means of the Prada Group’s distance sales.
1.2. The use of the distance sale service governed by these General Conditions of Sale is reserved exclusively for consumers (“Customers” or “Customer”) understood as natural persons (or group of natural persons) i.e. an individual acting for purposes that are not predominantly related to their own business, industrial, productive, liberal, entrepreneurial, artisanal or professional activity, over 18 years of age (or, if under age, having attained legal capacity in accordance with the rules of their country, and/or acting with the consent of or through their legal guardian or authorised by their legal representative), or as legal persons acting for purposes other than resale and, more generally, business purposes.
The resale or transfer of the Products purchased by means of distance sale as provided herein for any commercial, business or resale or professional purposes whatsoever is expressly prohibited.
The Customers agree not to use the Products for any commercial, business or re-sale or professional purposes, and the Company has no liability to the Customers for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
1.3 The Products shall only be delivered within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
1.4 The languages used for the conclusion of the distance sale contract are: English and Arabic.
1.5 These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are made available to the Customer to allow him/her to know, store and reproduce them in accordance with the regulations in force.
1.6 The contract of sale relating to the Products is governed exclusively by these General Terms and Conditions of Sale in force at the time of the relevant purchase pursuant to the regulations in force and in accordance with the procedure set out in Articles 3.4 and 3.5.
The Company reserves the right to amend these General Terms and Conditions of Sale hereof at any time without notifying the Customer. Any amendment shall become effective on the date of the publication of the new General Terms and Conditions of Sale on the Websites or otherwise made available by Company to Customer and, therefore, it shall only be effective in respect of purchases made after the date the new version of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale is published online or made available to Customer.
The replacement of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale hereof with a new version automatically implies the non-applicability, ineffectiveness and non-enforceability of the former version with respect to purchases made after such previous version is removed from the Websites, also in the event such General Terms and Conditions of Sale are in any way accessible and/or available to the general public through other internet websites other than the Websites.
2. Product Availability
2.1. The Customer acknowledges that the Products are limited in number and is therefore aware that the Company must check their availability following receipt of the purchase request or order by the Customer. The Company will use every reasonable effort to ensure that the availability of the Products is as up to date as possible.
2.2. There may be occasional inconveniences in relation to the availability of certain Products (this might be because the Product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on Company’s resources which Company could not reasonably plan for, because Company has identified an error in price or description of the Product or because Company is unable to meet a delivery deadline specified). In such circumstances, the Company will promptly inform the Customer (and in any case within the terms specified below), by email and/or telephone and/or any other available telematics or digital means and devices, that his/her purchase request or order has not been accepted due to the unavailability of the Products, the Customer agrees to receive only the Products available or, in case of a distance sale different from e-commerce, he/she is possibly invited to confirm his/her request with regard to available Products only.
2.3 The Company reserves the right to change the Products offered for sale at any time, without prior notice. Such variations will not affect purchase requests or orders which have already been confirmed by the Company or in case the purchase has been successfully completed.
3. Purchasing procedure
3.1. The Customer’s interest in purchasing the Products is received by the Company by telephone or by other telematic, digital or paper means, or in the store or through orders placed by the Websites.
Provision of a valid e-mail address by Customer is requested as communications relating to the Company distance sale will be sent to such address.
3.2. The Customer may purchase one or more Products, for a maximum of 4 units per Product, except as provided for certain types of Products. The Company reserves the right to vary at any time the limitations to the number of Products that can be purchased through the Prada Group distance sales.
3.3. Each Product offered for sale by means of the Company distance sale can be viewed by following a dedicated link available on the Websites displaying the items’ photographic images, unit price, colours and sizes (if applicable) or through the Products images provided by the Company to the Customer otherwise. For those Products expressly marked on the Websites or expressly indicated in the Purchase Offer (as appropriate) as “Pre Order” or as “Pre Ordered Product” or as “Personalized Products” being not yet ready to be shipped, the relevant estimated delivery date is referred online or in the Purchase Offer.
3.4. The provisions herein below shall apply in case of purchases made through the Websites:
3.4.1 The Products selected by the Customer shall be placed into a special section (hereinafter referred to as the "Shopping Bag").
A description of the Products, including measures or sizes (if applicable), together with one or more photographic images in digital format clearly showing the Products, shall be included in the Customer's Shopping Bag.
3.4.2 The digital photographic images of the Products provided on the Websites are for illustrative purposes only. Although the Company constantly takes steps to ensure that the photographs displayed on the Websites accurately reflect the original products, there may be some discrepancies due to the technical characteristics and colour resolution of the device used by the Customer. As a result, the Company shall not be responsible for any possible inadequacy of the graphic representations of the Products displayed on the Websites if due to the above technical reasons.
3.4.3 To view the Products selected and the total price of the purchase order, the Customer is invited to visit the Shopping Bag page. The purchasing process allows the Customer to check and amend any errors before submitting his/her order to the Company. Before confirming the relevant order, the Customer is required to check the accuracy of the contents of the Shopping Bag and fill in his/her order form in accordance with the instructions provided on the Websites.
3.4.4 The accepted means of payment for the Products shall be indicated clearly, on the Websites, during the relevant ordering process.
3.4.5 The purchasing process is completed as soon as the Customer presses the relevant final order confirmation button which shall be clearly labelled "Buy Now" or with similar meaning that clearly indicates the performance of the purchasing action ("Buy Button"), thereby validating his/her order, which will be directly submitted to the Company. By pressing the Buy Button the Customer explicitly acknowledges that in the event the Company accepts his/her order, the Customer will be obliged to pay the relevant purchase price.
After pressing the Buy Button, the contents of the Customer’s order may no longer be modified by the Customer who will receive within the following 48 hours an e-mail acknowledging that the Company has received the Customer’s order (“Acknowledgement Email”). However, this does not mean that the Customer’s order has been accepted. Company's acceptance of the Customer’s order and the conclusion of the contract will take place as described below in Article 4.2. The Customer may cancel his/her order before receiving the Confirmation of Sale as set forth in the Article 4.2 below, by notifying the Company of his/her cancellation by the email address specified in the Acknowledgement Email.
3.4.6 Before confirming his/her order, the Customer is required to confirm that he/she has read and accepted the General Terms and Conditions of Sale hereof by selecting the relevant clearly marked accepting box.
3.4.7 The Customer’s order shall be processed only if the entire purchasing process has been duly completed, without any error being reported by the Websites; failure to do so entails that the Customer’s order cannot be submitted to the Company. The Company will supply the Customer with a fiscal document related to of sale, upon the execution of the payment detailing the price of the Products purchased, including details of any costs and of the relevant VAT.
3.4.8 The Customers who have registered to log in the reserved area of the Websites may check their orders status by logging in such area and accessing the ‘My Orders’ page.
3.5. The provisions herein below shall apply in case of purchases made by means of any Company distance sales other than through the Websites:
3.5.1 Following the indications received from the Customer, the Company will send an email summarising the purchase request (“Purchase Offer”) or, in the case of Distance Sale Subject to Customer Approval, an email summarising the Products that will be made available to the Customer (“Purchase Offer Subject to Approval” and, together with the Purchase Offer, “Purchase Offers”).
The Purchase Offers shall contain all the pre-contractual information useful for the possible subsequent conclusion of the sale, such as, by way of example, the Company’s details, the description of the Product, the sizes, the colour, the quantity, the price, the right of withdrawal and the modalities for exercising it as well as, in the Purchase Offer Subject to Approval, the compulsory period of time within which the Customer must confirm his/her or her acceptance of all or some of the Products received as well as any other information necessary for the valid execution of the contract according to the applicable mandatory law and, in attachment or by link, the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Privacy Policy. The Purchase Offer shall provide the means of payment available for making the payment of the price of the Products that will be collected by the Company upon confirmation of Product availability and of the shipping to Customers. Purchase Offers are for a fixed period of time.
At the end of the period indicated in the Purchase Offer, any intention to purchase expressed by the Customer after the expiry of such period will not be considered valid and any pay by link, if provided, may no longer be used. The Company, therefore, shall not be liable for any change in the price of the Products. In this case, the Customer shall again express to the Company his/her interest in purchasing the Products in accordance with this Article 3.1 and shall receive a new Purchase Offer (together with a new payment link, if any).
3.5.2 The Customer must check the accuracy of the Purchase Offers’ content and report any errors, additions, or changes to their content. The Company will therefore send new Purchase Offers with the changes indicated by the Customer by email.
In the event of a distance sale other than a sale subject to approval, the Customer shall confirm the Purchase Offer directly by successfully paying the relevant price within the terms indicated in the Purchase Offer whose payment shall be construed as an express and unequivocal manifestation of the Customer’s intention to purchase the Products, if available, in accordance with the Purchase Offer received, the full acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and of all the terms indicated in the Purchase Offer, as well as confirmation by the Customer that he/she has read the information on the processing of personal data (“Purchase Confirmation”).
In the event of a Distance Sale Subject to Customer Approval, the Customer must indicate to the Company his/her approval of all or part of the Products by the date indicated in the Purchase Offer Subject to Approval.
3.5.3 The purchase is concluded when, upon verification of the availability of the Products, the Customer receives confirmation of the purchase and/or shipping by the Company.
In the event of a Distance Sale Subject to Customer Approval, the Customer expressly acknowledges the Company’s right to temporarily block an amount in the Customer’s payment card equal to the total price of the Products made available to the Customer, it being understood that no charge will be made for Products returned at the end of the period granted for the expression of satisfaction, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 8.12 below.
3.5.4 If the Customer expresses his/her interest in purchasing a Product that is currently unavailable from a store, the store will send the Customer a summary of the Products ordered and the relevant prices by email, making available the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Privacy Policy.
3.5.5 The Company will store each Purchase Offer and Purchase Offer Subject to Approval as well as the Customer’s data required for the purchase for the period of time and in accordance with the conditions provided for by the applicable legislation.

In this regard the Customer is informed that the sale of the Products to Customers may imply the processing of the Customers’ personal data by the Company. In particular, the Company shall process the Customer’s personal data in accordance with the applicable personal data protection legislation. By entering into these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the Customer would be deemed to have acknowledged the Privacy Policy published on the Websites

- to pre-order a selection of Products before their commercial launch or distribution and placement in the market, and

The Customer acknowledges that such Products are not yet available for the delivery at the time of the submitting of the relevant Order or upon the Purchase Confirmation. The Products which may be pre-ordered by the Customers are clearly identified and marked through the wording “Pre Order” or “Pre Ordered Product”, and the Products which may be personalized by the Customers are clearly identified and marked through the wording “Personalized Products”.
3.8.1 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that if he/she pre orders a Product and/or orders a Personalized Product, the relevant price shown on the Websites and displayed in the Shopping Bag section or provided in the Purchase Offer shall be charged in advance to the Customer on the confirmation by the Customer of his/her order upon pressing the Buy Button or executing the payment of the price of the Product according to the terms indicated in the Purchase Offer, , although the Pre Ordered Product and the Personalized Product are not ready to be shipped at that moment.
The Pre Ordered Product and the Personalized Product will be delivered to the Customer within the relevant estimated date specified in the Product page description or in the Purchase Offer.
In case the Customer intends to purchase also one or more Pre Ordered Products and/or Personalized Products in addition to the Products already available, all the relevant prices shall be charged in advance to the Customer on the confirmation by the Customer of his/her order upon pressing the Buy Button or executing the payment of the price of the Product according to the terms indicated in the Purchase Offer, even if such Pre Ordered and Personalized Products will be delivered only at the relevant estimated delivery dates.

7.2. At the time of delivery, the Customer shall check the Products to ensure that they correspond to the items ordered and that they have no manufacturing defects or lack of conformity in accordance with the applicable national legislation. The legal warranties under current legislation are applicable to the sale of the Products, in addition to any additional conventional warranties provided to the Customer at the Company’s discretion.
7.3. In the event of existence of manufacturing defects or lack of conformity, the Customer shall be entitled to demand that the Products conformity be restored either through fixing or replacement of the Product, free of charge, unless the remedy demanded is objectively impossible or excessively onerous compared to the other remedy. In particular, the Customer may demand replacement of the Products instead of the removal of the defect, or if the defect concerns only a part thereof, the Customer may demand the replacement of such a part, unless the Company thereby incurs inadequate costs with respect to the price of the Products or materiality of defect. The Company may always replace the defective Products with the new Products instead of removal of the defect, unless such replacement causes serious problems to the Customer.
If the Products have a defect that may not be removed and prevents the proper use of the Products, the Customer shall have the right to the replacement of the Products or the right of withdrawal from the contract. The Customer shall have the same rights if the defects may be removed but the Customer may not use the Products due to the repeated occurrence of the defect after the repair or due to a large number of defects. If the Products have other defects that may not be removed, the Customer may request either (i) a reasonable reduction in price, or (ii) termination of the contract and subsequent refund of the purchase price paid.
It is understood that the Customer shall lose such right if he/she does not notify to the Company the lack of conformity of the Product within 2 (two) years from the delivery of the Product, unless otherwise provided by any mandatory applicable law as updated from time to time.
Should the defect or lack of conformity be hidden ("Hidden Defect"), the Customer shall have the right to return the Product and request a refund, or keep the product but with a reduction in price, such reduction to be agreed between the Company and the Customer. The Customer shall lose such right if he/she does not notify the Company of the Hidden Defect of the Product within the mandatory term provided for by the applicable legislation.
Nothing in this Article 7.3 shall prejudice the application of mandatory rules that are more favourable to the Customer under local consumer protection legislation.
7.4. To report the presence of defects in the Products and seek one of the remedies listed above, the Customer may contact the Company in accordance with Article 14 below.
8. Returns and refunds - Withdrawal - Return due to non-satisfaction
A. Withdrawal:
8.1. The Customer has the right to withdraw from the contract without specifying the reason within 14 (fourteen) days from the date of delivery or collection of the Products or, in the event of a Distance Sale Subject to Customer Approval, from the conclusion of the contract, without any charge for the relevant transport costs, unless otherwise provided for in the Purchase Offer or in the Shopping Bag. For split orders, the relevant term shall begin on the day of delivery or collection of the latest Product. The Customer acknowledges that it is not permitted to exercise such right to withdraw in relation to the Personalized Products.
8.2. In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer may send an email to the address indicated by the Company’s Client Service at the email address indicated in the Purchase Offer or in the Acknowledgement Email or follow, if available and where applicable, the online return procedure that can be activated within the "Returns" section of the Websites, through which he/she can book the collection of the Product and check the delivery process of the Product to the Company. Alternatively, where the relevant service is expressly provided by the Company and confirmed in the Purchase Offer or made available on the Websites, the Product can be returned at one of the stores managed by the Company and authorised to receive returns.
In case the online return procedure is not available, the Customers may use, where applicable, the specific form accessible in the "Returns" section of the Websites or directly in the "My Account" section if the relevant Customer is registered on the Websites (if a specific form is required for the country of the Customer this will be included). To this end, Customers shall be required to: (i) fill in the online form with the information required, (ii) apply on the parcel the sticker with the return address found therein, (iii) prompt a withdrawal request to the Company by sending an email to Company’s Client Service at the email address indicated in the Purchase Offer or in the Acknowledgement Email, specifying the address, telephone number and the selected date of collection of the parcel, such date to be confirmed with the courier.
The instructions for Product returns may be made available digitally (i.e. through a QR code) or put into each parcel containing the Products purchased. The Company shall send the Customer an e-mail confirmation that it has received the withdrawal notification without undue delay.
8.3. Following withdrawal, the Customer shall have the right to receive a refund of the price paid accordance with Article 8.8. Alternatively, if previously agreed with the Company and where applicable, the Customer shall have the right either to the replacement of the Product with another Product of equal or greater value if the Customer agrees to pay the Company the difference between the price already paid for the returned Product and the price of the new Product or to receive a store credit of a value equal to the price paid for the returned Product, to be spent, within one year from its issuance, for the purchase of other Products at other stores of the same type (boutique or outlet), present in the same Country or territory in which the store that made the sale is located or at the Websites, if and where such alternative opportunities are available.
8.4. In the event the Customer complies with the procedure set forth in the Article 8.2, the courier appointed by the Company shall collect the parcel containing the Products to be returned with no charges to the Customer, unless the Customer delivers the Product to a store in the country indicated in the Article 1.3 above if authorised to receive returns.
If the Customer does not comply with the return instructions as specified the Article 8.2, the relevant transport costs and the liability for loss, theft, damage or delay in delivery shall be borne by the Customer, unless otherwise provided for by the applicable mandatory regulations.
8.5. The Customer may also be communicated the address the Products must be returned to by contacting Company’s Client Service at the email address indicated in the Purchase Offer or in the Acknowledgement Email.
8.6. The Customer undertakes to return the Products for which he/she has exercised his/her right of withdrawal without undue delay and, in any event, within 14 (fourteen) days from the date on which he/she informed the Company of his/her decision to withdraw from the contract. The right of withdrawal cannot be exercised with reference to Products that, due to health protection or hygiene reasons (including but not limited to perfumes, underwear, swimwear, make-up and skincare, etc.), cannot be returned if the sealing label or cellophane and/or the original packaging have been opened, damaged, altered or removed. This does not affect the Customer’s rights under Article 7.
8.7. Without prejudice to the above Article 8.5 above, Products must be returned in the same condition in which they were delivered. The Customer must therefore ensure that he/she has checked the Product in exactly the same way as the Customer would do in a shop, meaning that the Products are intact and complete, never used, worn or damaged in any way, and that they are returned in their original packaging, equipped with all the original labels they were received with. Where a Product was provided with a security label, the return of the Product will not be accepted if the original security label has been removed, broken or tampered with. The Company, or the store authorised to receive the return where applicable, will check the packaging and the condition of the individual Products returned, the substantial integrity of the same being an essential requirement for the exercise of the right of withdrawal.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company reserves the right to refuse the return of any Product that should result to have been damaged, deteriorated, dirty or in such a state as to suggest, unequivocally, that it has been used, not in good faith, for purposes other than during checks performed by the Customer, strictly necessary to ascertain the characteristics and type of the Product purchased as well as if the original security label has been removed, broken or tampered with or whose original sealing label or cellophane has been opened, damaged, altered or removed.
In the event the return is rejected, the Company shall send a specific notice to the Customer to whom the Company will return the relevant Product and shall consequently not proceed to credit the amount paid by the Customer, reserving as well the right to claim compensation for any damage attributable to the Customer's behaviour, including in case he/she shall not collect, or shall not allow the delivery of, returned Products rejected by the Company, in accordance with the applicable law.
8.8. The Company shall reimburse any amounts due for the accepted returned Products without undue delay and in any event within 14 (fourteen) days from the date on which the Company received notice of withdrawal from the Customer, unless the Customer has requested to replace the Product or to receive the store credit as specified in the Article 8.2 above or the Company has rejected the return as specified in Article 8.7. above and the Product has been returned to the Customer.
8.9. In any event, the Company reserves the right to withhold the refund either until receipt and verification of the Product or until proof by the Customer that he/she has returned the Product duly and in intact conditions, whichever occurs first.
The aforementioned refund shall be made by crediting the amount paid by the Customer with the same payment method used for the purchase, where applicable, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Customer and provided that no costs are incurred as a result of the refund.
In all cases, the Company shall send a specific notice to the Customer informing him/her of the acceptance of the return and the re-credit or, where agreed and applicable, the replacement of the Product or the issue of the store credit, or of the non-acceptance with a specific indication of the reasons thereto.
8.10. The return of Products pursuant to this Article 8 is only permitted in connection with purchases made by means of distance sale.
8.11. In consideration of the fact that the Personalized Products are products permanently modified, and personalized specifically for the Customer, and that their original manufacture cannot in any way be restored, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised by the Customer in relation to any Personalized Products. Accordingly, the provisions contained in this Article 8 will not apply to the Personalized Product, being understood that the exclusion of the Personalized Products from the right of withdrawal will not affect the application of the legal guarantees, provided for in the above Article 7, also to such Personalized Products.
B. Return of Products due to non-satisfaction:
8.12. In the event of a Distance Sale Subject to Customer Approval, the Customer is entitled to return the Products that he/she does not intend to purchase without being charged any costs for collection and transport, unless otherwise expressly agreed in the Purchase Offer Subject to Approval, and provided that he/she has notified the Company of his/her wish to return the Products within the deadline stated in the Purchase Offer Subject to Approval.
8.13. If the Customer does not return the Products within the deadline indicated in the Purchase Offer Subject to Approval, or in any case according to the instructions received by the Company, the costs of collection and transport and any liability for loss, theft, damage or delay in delivery shall in any case remain the responsibility of the Customer, unless otherwise provided for by the applicable mandatory regulations.
8.14. The provisions of Articles 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11 above shall apply to the return of Products sold under the Distance Sale Subject to Customer Approval. The Company therefore reserves the right to refuse the return of any Product that is damaged, deteriorated, dirty or in such a state as to suggest, unequivocally, that it has been used not in good faith, for purposes other than during checks performed by the Customer, strictly necessary to ensure they are satisfied with the Product, as well if the original safety label has been removed, broken or tampered with. In this case, the Company shall send a communication to the Customer stating that it does not accept the return of the Product and that the relevant price will be charged.
C. General provision:
8.15. None of the provisions contained in this Article 8 shall prejudice the application of local mandatory consumer protection regulations that are more favourable to the Customer.
9. Limitation of liability
9.1 If the Company fails to comply with these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the Company is responsible for losses or damages that the Customer suffers that are a foreseeable result of the Company breaking this contract or the Company failing to use reasonable care and skill, but to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company is not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable and cannot be avoided. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both the Company and Customer knew it will happen, for example, if Customer discussed it with the Company during the sales process.
9.2. With the exception of cases of fraud or gross negligence, the Company shall not be liable in any way to the Customer for indirect or consequential damages that the Customer may suffer as a result of purchasing Products offered for sale.
To the extent permitted by law, and subject to the provisions of Article 9.3 below, the Company’s total liability to the Customer shall in no event exceed the total price of the Products purchased.
9.3 The Company does not exclude or in any way limit its liability to the Customer where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for (i) death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Company or its employees, agents or subcontractors; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (iii) infringement of the Customer’s legitimate rights in relation to the Products under applicable mandatory consumer protection legislation; and (iv) defective products within the meaning of applicable mandatory consumer protection legislation.
