To facilitate its processing, the Customer must provide the information necessary for the execution of the Order: company name, if applicable a VAT number to benefit from prices excluding VAT in the Euro zone, if applicable the full name, specialty, geographical address and email address.

The Order will only become final once it has been confirmed by the Company in the form of an Order summary sent by email, after the Company has verified the status of the Customer and the availability of the Products and therefore the possibility for the Customer to place an order.

ARTICLE 4 – PRICING

All Orders are payable in Euros.

The prices of the Products may be updated on a daily basis. The prices invoiced are those in force on the day of the Order as they appear on the Product presentation sheets and on the Order summary.

As such, SOFT MEDICAL AESTHETICS may refuse to make a delivery or honour an Order, suspend or close the account of a Customer with whom a payment dispute is pending or a suspicion of fraud exists.

In the event of online payment, the Customer’s purchases are paid exclusively by credit card (Carte Bleue, VISA, Eurocard / Mastercard) via the PayPal server, or via BNP’s Mercanet service, after validation of the Order and acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale. All information exchanged to process the payment is encrypted using SSL protocol and is not stored on the Company’s computer systems.

By this action, the Customer guarantees SOFT MEDICAL AESTHETICS that he is fully entitled to use said card and that he has sufficient funds to cover all costs resulting from the Order. In the event of refusal by the bank or if the funds are insufficient, the Order will be automatically cancelled.

ARTICLE 6 – AGREEMENT ON EVIDENCE FOR ONLINE SALES

ARTICLE 7 – DELIVERY

This article is applicable subject to special provisions agreed with the Customer.

All announced deadlines are calculated in working days. The delivery date is calculated taking into account the preparation and shipping times plus the delivery time of the selected Carrier (hereinafter referred to as the “Carrier”).

In this case, the reshipping costs will be borne by the Customer and delivery times will be significantly delayed.

Shipping costs will be calculated according to the weight of the Products ordered and the country of destination.

Upon departure of his Order from the Company’s premises, an email will be sent to the Customer indicating the unique number assigned to his package, so that he can track its delivery, on the Carrier’s websites, when the latter has set up a tracking service.

Regardless of the mode of transport, a delivery note or acknowledgement of receipt must be signed upon delivery by the Customer or the recipient of the Order. This acknowledgement of receipt is proof of receipt by the Customer or the recipient of the Order of the Products ordered.

Otherwise, if the delivery cannot be made for reasons attributable to the Customer, reshipping costs will be borne by the Customer.

No dispute relating to the delivery itself is possible if the package appears to have been delivered.

Once the delivery has been made, as indicated above, and the Product has been delivered to the Customer, the latter must check the condition and contents and immediately issue and record reserves with the Carrier IN WRITING; he may even refuse the package if it arrives at its destination open or if it bears clear signs of deterioration. Packages must be delivered in perfect condition.

In the event of non-receipt of a package within a maximum period of 3 weeks after the date of the Order for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Customer may cancel his Order and will contact the Company for this purpose.
