AERONAUTICAMILITAREOFFICIALSTORE.IT is the only website authorised to sell official "Aeronautica Militare" products.
All the products offered therein are therefore original and purchased directly from the manufacturer. AERONAUTICAMILITAREOFFICIALSTORE.IT is the official dealer of all the products and brands on this website. The products sold are, therefore, accurately selected according to strict quality control standards.
AERONAUTICAMILITAREOFFICIALSTORE.IT makes it possible for customers to purchase only garments already available in stock. It is not possible to order items that are not already available. Consequently, any order containing an item that, in the meantime, has become unavailable, even by mere mistake, will be cancelled.
The contract is finalised as soon as AERONAUTICAMILITAREOFFICIALSTORE.IT receives the order sent by the Customer via computer. As soon as the contract is finalised, AERONAUTICAMILITAREOFFICIALSTORE.IT commits to sending the ordered products to the customer, under the terms and restrictions listed in the present document, by always reserving the right to refuse orders from customers without adequate solvency guarantees or not falling within the "final consumer" category or, finally, if for any reason the ordered product is not available for sale.
All the provisions of the present Terms of Sale are accepted unconditionally upon Order confirmation and the Customer commits to respecting them in his/her relations with AERONAUTICAMILITAREOFFICIALSTORE.IT.
Therefore, by placing the Order, the Customer confirms that he/she is fully aware of and fully accepts these Terms, as well as other information to be found in the webpages listed here and/or those whose link is provided.

6.9 Legal Guarantee of Conformity
The Vendor is liable to the Purchaser - who is qualified as the “consumer” in accordance with point 6.6 - for any lack of conformity of the Products offered on its website, whereby such lack of conformity occurs within 26 (twenty-six) months from the date of delivery of the Product itself.

All return costs for non-compliant Products will be borne by the Vendor.
The legal guarantee referred to above is always applicable to the sale of the Products, as governed by the Italian legislation referred to in the Consumer Code.
