Pandolfini CASA D?ASTE s.r.l. shall, in turn, undertake to notify the seller of the withdrawal. The cost of redelivering the object shall be charged to the purchaser who shall, therefore, undertake to return the same under its own responsibility and at its own expense within fourteen (14) days from when Pandolfini CASA D?ASTE s.r.l. receives the notification of withdrawal.
