Although Furla makes every effort to ensure that photographs displayed on the Website are faithful reproductions of the original Products, the images and colours of Products offered for sale on the Website may not be a perfect representation of the real characteristics of the Product, due to the browser and/or other devices used to access the Website.

Using the “click & reserve” procedure, Customers can then book an appointment at a selected Point of Sale to view and/or try on the reserved Product. Furla will send Customer an appointment confirmation email with a reminder and summary of the confidential Product (“Booking Confirmation”).
The Customer can then visit the Point of Sale, present the Booking Confirmation, try the product and decide if purchase the Product or not.
It is understood between the Parties that a Product reserved through the “click & reserve” procedure will be reserved for a period of 48 (forty-eight) hours following the appointment made by Customer on the Website, then Furla is free to sell the Product to another Customer.
