The CGV applied to the sale of products are those published on this web-site on the day in which the specific product was ordered. Therefore, before each purchase, the customer is required to read and accept beforehand the CGV.
The mere tolerance or the uncontested claim by ISB of any non-compliance of the customer, with regard to the contents of the CGV, cannot be construed as implied acceptance of such non-compliance nor can be construed as a wish to waive the terms agreed upon between the parts.
1. Terms of the Agreement and Delivery of the Products
1.1 Every order placed on the web-side www.ischiasorgentedibellezza.it implies the acceptance of the terms of the agreement for the sale of goods drawn up in Italian.When clicking on the “Acquista” (“Buy”) button, the customer places an order which is binding with regard to the objects contained in the so called “Virtual Cart”.After placing the order, the ISB will send the customer, within 24 hours, a confirmation of the order by e-mail.The agreement for the sale of goods, between ISB and the customer, is considered terminated when the customer receives the confirmation.If the customer does not receive the confirmation of the order within the times specified in this Article, the order should be regarded as rejected by ISB and, therefore, should be regarded as without effect.
1.2 The customer is solely responsible for the truthfulness and correctness of the information forwarded to ISB and requested by ISB on this web-site, and the customer agrees to communicate promptly any variation of the data provided.
1.3 When placing the purchase order, the customer states the following:

6. Effects of the Withdrawal
6.1 Upon withdrawal from this agreement and upon request of the customer, ISB will replace the merchandise returned with merchandise of equivalent value, unless a balance is due by the customer, or ISB will refund all the payments made by the buyer, including the shipping costs (with the exception of additional costs due to the choice of a method of delivery which differs from the standard method offered by ISB, and with the exception of additional costs due for the return of the product, if required), without undue delay and, in all cases, no later than 14 days from the day in which ISB receives the communication of the customer’s decision to exercise the right of withdrawal. These refunds will be processed using the same payment method chosen by the customer at the time of purchase, unless otherwise set forth. The payment of the refund can be suspended until the products returned have been received or until the customer is able to prove that the shipment of such goods has occurred, if the shipment has already taken place.
The customer is required to return or hand over the products without unnecessary delay and, in all cases, within 14 days from the day on which the customer has communicated his intention to withdraw from the agreement for the sale of goods.
6.2 The Products should be returned:
- properly packed in their original container, undamaged nor broken nor dirty, and along with all the additional accessories, instructions for use, and documentation;
- equipped with the invoice/receipt and with the shipping documentation (which should be included in the original package), in order to allow ISB to identify the customer, order number, name, last name, and address;
- without signs that the merchandise has been used, with the exception of the necessary testing of the product (that is, there should be no signs that the product has been used for a long period of time or that it has been used beyond the period of testing, so that the product can be sold again).
If the returned items, pursuant to the exam of the products which will be performed by ISB at the time of return of the merchandise, do not comply with the requirements specified in these clauses, the return won’t be valid. In such case, the merchandise won't be considered returned for credit and will remain on the premises at ISB and therefore available for the customer. Specifically, the customer will be able to decide if to pickup personally the merchandise or if to retain, at his/her own expenses, a Carrier for the pick up and shipment of the goods.
6.3 In case of withdrawal, the costs associated to the return of the products, unless otherwise specified, will be charged to the customer, who will have to follow the Carrier’s instructions (….., toll free number…..) for the execution of the return, and, therefore, the customer will be responsible of any decrease in the value of the merchandise due to the handling of the goods performed in a manner which differs from the nature, the characteristics, and the operation of the goods in question.
