HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

4.1. After placing an order, you will receive an order submission confirmation from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to buy a Product from us and placing an order carries with it the obligation to make payment. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending either (a) a confirmation that the goods have been dispatched (Order Confirmation), or (b) the physical product to you. Only when the confirmation is sent by us, is the sale concluded.

4.2. The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Order Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Order Confirmation.

AVAILABILITY AND PRODUCT DELIVERY

5.1. Although we endeavour to ensure the availability of the Products shown in the Sound-Aesthetics shop, we cannot guarantee that all of the Products will be in stock when you place your order. If we are unable to process or execute your order, we shall contact you:

5.1.1. to offer you an equivalent Product(s) in terms of quality and price which you may decide to accept or reject; or

5.1.2. to notify you that we are unable to fulfil the order.

If you reject our offer of an alternative Product or we are unable to fulfil the order we shall have no further liability to you unless we have already taken payment for the Product(s), in which case we shall refund payments already taken from you for the relevant Product(s).

5.2. Your order will be fulfilled without undue delay and by the delivery date set out in the Order Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, within 30 days of the date of the Order Confirmation. If it is not possible to deliver the Product within the delivery period indicated, we shall refund you the paid purchase price on request.

5.3. Products sold in the Sound-Aesthetics shop are delivered to you by courier if you have ordered Goods.

CONSUMER RIGHTS

6.1. The Consumer Contract Law in the EU (the "Regulations") give you the right to cancel your Contract with us within 14 days without giving any reason.

The cancellation period will expire as follows:

6.1.1. For Goods, the period will expire after 14 days from the day you (or anyone nominated by you) receive(s) the Goods;

6.1.2. In a Contract for the sale of multiple Goods with different delivery dates, the period will expire after 14 days from the day you (or anyone nominated by you) receive(s) the last of the Goods;

6.2. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract by contacting us through the CUSTOMER CARE page, located on the https://sound-aesthetics.com site. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

6.3. If you exercise your above rights of cancellation but have received Goods in connection with the Contract, you shall send back the Goods or hand them over to us, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation of the Contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the Goods before the period of 14 days has expired.

6.4. You should take reasonable care of the Goods whilst they are in your possession. You are only liable for any diminished value of the Goods resulting from the handling of the Goods other than as required to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods. The packaging and all accessories form an integral part of each product.

RISK AND TITLE

The Goods will be at your risk from the day you (or anyone nominated by you) receive(s) the Goods.

PRICE AND PAYMENT

8.1. The price of any Products will be as quoted in the Sound-Aesthetics shop from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

8.2. These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will (in some cases) be added to the total amount.

8.3. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation.

8.4. The Sound-Aesthetics shop contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed in the Sound-Aesthetics shop may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product´s correct price is higher than the price stated in the Sound-Aesthetics shop, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

8.5. We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a mis-pricing.

8.6. Payment for all Products must be made prior to order processing. We are under no obligation to deliver the Products until we have received payment from you.

OUR REFUNDS POLICY

9.1. If you cancel the Contract in accordance with the cancellation rights set out in section 6 above, besides any deduction for loss in value of the Goods as described further below, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery to you (if relevant).

9.2. If you wish to return a Product to us for any other reason (for instance, because have notified us in accordance with clause 21 (Right to Vary) that you do not agree to any change in these terms of sale or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Product is defective), you must inform us in writing by giving notice through the CUSTOMER CARE page on https://www.sound-aesthetics.com. You are required to return any Goods to us, at your own cost, to the returns address we stipulate and in accordance with any instructions we give you.

Payments returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.

9.3. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction.
