In the event that the returned product is non-compliant with the provisions of Article 8.4, Antonio Riva Milano reserves the right to not make any refund and, in such event, the Customer may choose whether to have returned the purchased products by  incurring all the related shipping costs. In the event the Customer declines the return, Antonio Riva Milano shall have the right to retain all the non-compliant products, as well as the corresponding amount of the purchasing price for the products themselves.

8.7 The right of withdrawal cannot be exercised after 14 days from the delivery of the products to the Customer.
