The consumer when accessing the site to make purchases (hereinafter Customer) is required to carefully and meticulously read these General Conditions when sending the order, which will be available on the site at any time, as well as in the link sent to them in the order confirmation email and/or in a subsequent ad hoc email.
Every contract concluded with Soc.Agr.Oro del Salento srl through the site is governed by these General Conditions. The language provided for concluding the contract is Italian.
The products for sale on the site (hereinafter Product or Products) are listed on dedicated pages, where their characteristics and prices are indicated. The visual representation of the products normally corresponds to the photographic image, which has the sole purpose of presenting them for sale and may not be perfectly representative and may differ in color, size, etc. from the actual product.
In case of discrepancies between the photographic image and the technical data sheet, the technical data sheet prevails. The specified prices per weight are expressed in euros.
To purchase the product, the Customer must send the electronic purchase form following the instructions on the site; add the products to the cart, review and confirm these general conditions and the privacy policy; enter the shipping details; choose the payment method and confirm the order.
The order confirmation has the value of a contractual proposal, and the customer acknowledges and declares that they have read and fully accepted all parts of the General Conditions, the privacy policy, and any other information provided to them during the ordering process from the Site.
The contract is concluded at the moment of acceptance of the order by Soc.Agr.Oro del Salento srl, which will be communicated via order confirmation by email, which will contain a link where these general conditions are reiterated, made downloadable and storable.
The order confirmation email aims to provide the list of purchased products, order number, shipping costs, and all information regarding their order.
If the Customer finds errors and imperfections, they have 12 hours to inform through the designated channels available on the site (email and phone) to communicate it to Soc.Agr. Oro del Salento srl. After 12 hours, the order will be processed and shipped.
Upon receiving the order, Soc.Agr.Oro del Salento srl will verify the availability of the ordered products; if one or more products are found to be unavailable, the seller (Oro del Salento) will notify the customer via email, who has 12 hours to confirm or cancel the order. In the case of order confirmation by the Customer, despite the unavailability of the products, the amount corresponding to the latter will be refunded via Paypal (the only payment method) to their balance. Soc.Agr. Oro del Salento srl informs that the refund occurs only to their Paypal balance/account.
After 12 hours from the communication by Soc.Agr.Oro del Salento srl of the unavailable products to the Customer, and if the latter has not confirmed or canceled, Soc. Agr.Oro del Salento srl will consider the order accepted by the Customer concerning the available products, which will be shipped within the expected times. The refund of the amount equal to the cost of the unavailable products will be made via Paypal (see above).
Returns, Exchanges, and Stock Exchanges
According to current regulations, products purchased on our site are not subject to return, refund, or exchange.
It is therefore not possible to return purchased goods, nor to request exchanges or swaps of products.
Furthermore, we do not deal with financial instruments or “stock exchanges” and therefore no returns or exchanges are provided for such categories of goods.
Shipping costs are calculated directly at the time of order, based on indisputable criteria established by Soc.Agr.Oro del Salento srl, which are made known, accepted, and confirmed by the customer during the order and purchase process; as well as being communicated in the order confirmation email and/or the immediately subsequent email.
Currently, the only payment method is via Paypal. Once the order is confirmed, the Customer will be redirected to the Paypal site to complete the payment; otherwise, after the order is completed, they will not be redirected to the Paypal site, but a payment request via Paypal will be sent to the Customer at the email used for registration on the site.
Other types of payment must be agreed directly with the administration.
Orders are normally fulfilled accompanied by an invoice inside the shipment. The Customer, holder of a VAT number, must communicate all data via email, to which they will receive the invoice. The Customer is responsible, in this case, for the accuracy of the data sent via email.
For the purchase of wholesale products or from resellers, it is necessary to contact the administration directly at the email: info@orodelsalento.com
The Products will be delivered to the address indicated by the Customer at the time of order via express courier (hereinafter Courier) from Monday to Friday excluding holidays, national holidays, and vacations. The courier will make two delivery attempts to the indicated address. After two attempts, the package will be held at the relevant branch, where the customer is required to pick up their shipment or to book the redelivery of the package, paying the redelivery service according to the courier’s rates.
Soc.Agr. Oro del Salento srl is not responsible for delays by the courier not attributable to it, as well as for damages incurred during delivery. The goods are not insured; the insurance service costs 6 euros and must be requested directly from the administration at the time of order confirmation by the customer. The customer agrees to sign with reservation upon delivery by the SDA courier.
Other ancillary services, such as delivery by appointment or to a specific floor, must be agreed upon from time to time with Soc.Agr.Oro del Salento srl, which will communicate the applicable surcharge.
Normal delivery times do not exceed 10 days. The choice of courier is decided by Soc.Agr.Oro del Salento srl, based on its internal needs; while the tracking of the shipment is provided upon request by the Customer from the administration. The same principle of choice applies to shipments within Europe.
The customer does not have the right to withdraw from the contract, nor to return the received goods.
The customer loses this right if they do not report the non-conformity within 2 days of delivery of the product.
In the case of products that are the subject of such non-conformity, which by their nature and maintenance are perishable or have a short shelf life, the communication of non-conformity must be made within and no later than the minimum term of 7 days.
The information contained on the Site is constantly updated.
No Return Policy for Food Products
In accordance with the Italian Consumer Code and applicable regulations regarding distance contracts, we specify that the right of withdrawal does not apply to the supply of goods that risk deteriorating or expiring rapidly. Therefore, for all food products sold, it is not possible to exercise the right of withdrawal or return following the purchase.
We are committed to ensuring the maximum freshness and quality of our products, ensuring adequate packaging and shipping that preserves the organoleptic properties and food safety until delivery to your address.
For any doubts or additional information, we invite our customers to contact customer service via email at info@orodelsalento.com or by phone during office hours.

The Customer accepts without reservation that, except in cases of fraud or gross negligence, all rights to compensation for damages, or recognition of compensation; as well as any contractual or non-contractual liability for direct or indirect damages to persons and/or things, caused by the failure to accept or fulfill, even partially, an order are excluded.
Any complaints must be sent via email to info@orodelsalento.com, or by calling Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm.
